How do I install older version of iTunes on my computer?

I have a new windows laptop and would like to install the older version of iTunes, since there are so many problems with the new one. I tried installing the latest version and correct the problems with it, but after hours of frustration and reading and trying this and that, nothing is working for me! I give up and just want the old iTunes, or please tell me how soon will a new trouble free version be available?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turing off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.
Or see the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and try the tip about rolling back to the most recent version of iTunes that worked for you.

    Hi Moerdesign,
    Did you downloaded and installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 through Creative Cloud.
    After uninstalled them, Creative Cloud saying applications are "Up to Date" when not installed.
    If this is the case then please perform the steps given in the help document.

    Please let me know if this is not the case.
    Screenshot of the problem would be great help.

  • Installing older version of iTunes

    I am trying to install an older version of Itunes and am getting the following error: The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. I have tried renaming the file, deleted the folder iTunes in my documents/my music (didn't have anything in it anyway), uninstalled and reinstalled but still get the same error. I have searched my machine and can not find any hint of the file. Help!

    the following post might be of some help with that:

    When you update iTunes, older versions are replaced. If you didn't update, go to Software Update

  • Is there any way to get an older version of iTunes on my computer? I really dislike the newest version.

    My computer crashed last week. I had to replace it. It was necessary to reinstall iTunes. Of course, the most current version was downloaded. I really dislike it. I can no longer sort my music the way I want it.There is way too much emphasis album art work. It takes too much work to do the same thing older versions were able to do. Crazy as it sounds, I'm looking for a downgrade.
    Does anyone know how to download an older version? I hate to think I'm stuck with the current one. Your suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks

    because my computer doesn't have the required Service Pack 2
    Then install it.
    It fixes many, MANY bugs and problems.

  • How to install older version of itunes

    I recently added the new iTunes 8 but really don't like it and want to go back to an older version. Is there any way for me to do this without losing all the music in my library? For example, if I uninstall the new version and reinstall an older version, will all the contents of my library be lost? thanks!

    You'll have to rebuild the library. Delete the old .itl file and try importing the iTunes Library.xml file (File menu -> Import and select the .xml file in the iTunes folder).
    If that doesn't work, you'll have to use the Add Folder to Library command and select the iTunes Music folder to get all your contact back into iTunes. You'll lose ratings and playlists, but your content should all play.

  • How to revert to older version of iTunes

    I'm always apprehensive of updating iTunes to newer versions.
    Just bought an iPhone 5 64GB and I'd like to sync it with music.
    My older phone (32 GB 3GS) had complications when I first bought it, so I'd chosen never to update IT or my iTunes since.
    The 3GS is still running on an older version (3.1.3 [7E18]) and it's been amazing through my 3 years of use.
    The version of iTunes I'm running is 10.3.1 from back in 2011 (I believe) and I'm quite happy with it.
    My iPods AND iPhone have given me no problems these past few years.
    In order to sync my new phone, I'm expecting that iTunes will require the update.
    So... Is there a way to SAVE my current version of iTunes (10.3.1) in case the current one is not to my liking?
    I was hoping to save a copy of it to a USB key.
    I'd also appreciate instruction on how to revert back to this older version if I need to later.
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Thanks in advance, and have a Safe & Happy New Year!

    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below (click on it to enlarge), then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • How do I install newest version of itunes if the Bonjour file cannot be found?

    How do I install the newest version of itunes if the Bonjour file cannot be found on my computer?

    perfect, thanks.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • How do i install older versions of apps on an older iPhone that has been updated to latest version it supports?

    how do i install an older compatible version of pandora?  I have an older 3G iphone i want to stream music from. OS is 4.2.1 and basically nothing installs and the OS will not upgrade past that OS version.

    You could try this.
    On your PC - download the latest version of the App.
    Once downloaded, select the App for syncing to your Phone.
    You will get a message saying it is not compatible.
    If you are lucky it may offer a previous version as an alternative.
    Worth a try.  It has worked on several apps on my old version 2 iPod.

  • When I try to instal latest version of iTunes onto my computer I get error messages, and then the only way for me to access iTunes is to do a System Restore to and earlier restore point

    When I try to install the latest version of iTunes, during the installation I get error messages saying that a program is trying to change registry and the installation is stopped.
    After this happens the only way that I can open iTunes is to do a 'system restore' to an earlier time.
    Has anyone else experienced this and can you help?

    Could you please post the exact text of the error message or provide a screenshot?
    There is advice on issues with the update at  Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. One of the entries in the further information section refers to a possible registry permissions problem which might be what you are seeing.

  • How do I install older versions of the firmware on...

    Hi'
    got a new N95 - unpacked it and everything was looking good until I started to play around with all the syncing and updating of the firmware... i.e. ran into the "loosing language" problem that has been described on this page - now I'm stuck with English, Philipino and Malaysian... (and I want my Danish back). Is there anyway of uninstalling firmware updates, going back to the last one ? (i.e. every other device I own, this is the case, but haven't been able to firgure out how with my N95...), or is there anywhere where you can find region specific firmware and get them installed on your phone ? or, is there anywhere that you can find language versions of the T9 i.e. the main problem realy is when you start writing SMS's - and every Danish word have to be spelled out.
    thanks, Rasmus

    You cannot go back to the older firmware.
    To get the launguage back you can take your phone to a nokia care point.Message Edited by noxit on 21-Aug-2007 12:12 PM

  • Trying to install older version of itunes

    Hi there,
    I downloaded the newest iTunes 7.3 (god knows why) and when i was halfway through installling it, it tells me my o/s is too old and it can't install.
    So i deleted all the 7.3 software stuff, and downloaded 7.2 to install.
    When i get to the "installation type" of the installation process, a notice pops up that says "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install."
    Whenever I click on iTunes, a big questionmark appears on it.
    I'm absoltuely baffled. I downloaded shapeshifter even though I'm not sure what it is, so i could add Itunes to the exclude list, but itunes isn't on the list of things i can exclude because its not there.
    Any tips or help at all would be very glady appreciated, I'm so confused!

    Delete the receipts relating to iTunes 7.2 and 7.3 from the /Library/Receipts/ folder; if the issue persists, use Pacifist to install iTunes 7.2.

  • How do I find older versions of itunes so i can upload the newest version

    I uploaded IOS7 to my iphone and now it wont sync with my computer because the Itunessoftware is outdated. However, when I try to get the newest Itunes platform it says I needed 10.8. I still onlyh have 10.3. How can I get the 10.8 so I can get the 11.1 ?

    If you have Mac OS X 10.6.3, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences.
    If you have Mac OS X 10.5.3 on an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
    If you have Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4.3, or 10.5.3 on a PowerPC Mac, you can't.

  • Just show me how to get this new version of Itunes off my computer.

    Ever since I downloaded this "update",  I looks like itunes puked on my computer.  I hate the way it looks, don't use the
    "cloud".  Spent some time in the 60's there and don't want to go back.  Seems like just as soon as a person gets used
    to using itunes, they change things.  Man, its as bad as Gates Microsoft crap.

    You can make the new iTunes look and feel much like v10 by using the following short cuts:
    ALT shows the menu bar temorarily
    CTRL+B show/hide menu bar
    CTRL+S show/hide side bar
    CTRL+/ show/hide status bar
    To make search more like it was, click on magnifying glass in search bar and uncheck "search entire library"
    If you sitll want to go back you cna download the old iTunes here:
    64 bit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1577
    32 bit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
    Uninstall iTunes and install the old iTunes.
    You will need to recover the backup library made when you upgraded, see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967?viewlocale=en_US
