How do I rid myself of the "english version" notice and subsequent block of opening iTunes on a new iTunes 10.6 update without altering my current iTunes folder?

I just updated iTunes to version 10.6 on my 10.6.8 OS X Mac Book Pro and am getting the old "english version" prompt.
This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the english version
Yes, that's right, I cannot open iTunes. When I attempt to open it a popup with the above-quoted text appears and the opening process terminates.
There were threads on this years ago as I recall and I've revisited them. They don't address the present question and I think those thread focused mainly on iTunes version 9 and/or earlier versions.
Steps taken thus far:
     I removed the iTunes app from the apps folder and deleted it.
     I have also re-downloaded iTunes 10.6.
     I have NOT yet attempted to re-install.
My question is: when I reinstall must I do anything with my ~/Music/iTunes folder to protect its contents from the install process? Or can I leave it alone and just re-install the app without suffering any overwrite or screwups of the ~/Music/iTunes folder or anything therein?
Notes: installed from an English language computer set to English language and inside the continental US.
Already deleted the app file from the Applications folder.

Solved my own problem.
For the record, fixing iTunes without moving or copying the ~/Music/iTunes folder can be done if you have your iTunes.app file backed up with Time Machine.
Just delete the newly installed iTunes.app file and then restore the iTunes.app file that existed before the update that borked the install.
That's it. iTunes opened right back up and accessed my old data like nothing ever happened. No moving or copying of hundreds of gigabytes of music data needed.

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • How can I get the English version of Photoshop?

    I have a creative cloud membership, and I lilve in Norway. Most apps are not available in Norwegian, and that's fine with me - I want to use the English version anyway. But Photoshop defaults to Norwegian, and there's no other choice in the Photoshop settings. How can I get rid of the badly translated Norwegian version, and get the English version where I can understand what everything means?

    Windows 8 - Norwegian.
    The Application Manager is still in Norwegian, even after I changed the language preferences. And now the Application manager shows all the apps except Photoshop and InDesign as not installed. I guess I'll have to uninstall and reinstall all apps for the Application Manager to realize that the apps are actually installed.
    But I'm happy to do that as long as I can work in the English version where I understand what the tools do. :-)

  • ITunes will no longer download. It says it has not been correctly localized for this language, and to run the English version. How do I do that?

    My iTunes will no longer download.
    All of a sudden I get the message "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version".
    How do I fix this and run the English version again? .

    Start by trying to repair iTunes from the programs and features control panel.
    Otherwise, 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.

  • How can I buy the English version of LR6 standalone in The Netherlands?

    Hi, I’m a user of the English version of LR5.7 standalone, and I want to upgrade to the English version of LR6 standalone. I live in The Netherlands.
    When I select the product on the US site of Adobe, and move to Checkout, I’m told that I’m in the wrong country.
    So I tried Adobe’s site in The Netherlands. Unfortunately, the only language option offered there is Dutch.

    Yes, you can download it using your Adobe ID.
    Just a word of caution here:  DO NOT just "delete" the other version.  Use the correct Adobe Uninstaller to UNISTALL it.  Otherwise you'll leave all kinds of leftovers and debris that can interfere with any new install.

  • How do I download the english version of Photoshop?

    How do I download the english version of Photoshop, I keep getting the Swedish version. So far the support be really bad. Need direct support, not this forum or FAQ pages.

    If you have Creative Cloud, just change the Application Language to English in the Desktop App, then English will be available for install.
    When the Install is finished, go into Preferences > Interface > UI Language and English should be in the drop-down menu. Change and restart PS.

  • I started downloading a movie but then realized it was not the english version. How do I correct and then download the right version?

    I started downloading a movie from ITunes but then realized it was not the English version. I stopped the download. How do I return/cancel and instead download the English version? Thanks.

    Are you sure there is an English language version available?
    You'll just have to continue with the download and then delete the movie.
    Technically all sales are final.  You can ask Apple for a refund but they aren't obligated.
