How to get back to a version of iTunes that works?

I made the mistake of installing iTunes 10 - now my iPod is no longer recognized. How can I get an older version of iTunes to work? Each time I uninstall iTunes 10 and install an older version it won't start up. I get the error message that it was installed by a newer version so it can't be opened. I don't get it. Is there a way to completely wipe iTunes 10 off my computer besides going through the program manager to uninstall it? Had anyone heard if Apple is working on a fix for this buggy version of iTunes?

montana,
First of all, make sure Windows is showing file extensions and not hiding them from you.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries\iTunes Library 2010-09-03.itl
That is my version 9 library that I updated on Sept 3rd. Yours can have a different date, but you get the idea.
Copy & paste it one folder up, into this folder
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Delete the version 10 itunes file, since you are not going to be using it.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
Right-click and rename the copy of the itunes v9 file so the date part is gone
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library 2010-09-03.itl

It was much easier to use and way more confortable, How can I get back the other version of itunes? It was much easier to use and way more confortable
I can't pass playlists from itunes to my i-pod, and the sthetic of the new itunes is not a good one.
Could I get back an older version? those were easier to use, more simplier

Apple wisely leaves a copy of iMovie version 9 installed in the Application folder when you download version 10.

How do I get the old java version (the one that worked) back

I just did the lastest OSX upgrade. OSX 10.7.   It did a few things to Java.
1) It removed the Utility to select a Java version to run (umm, so how am I supposed to pick Java 1.5 for some old Java 1.5 apps?)
2) It made some Java 1.6 applications that I need on my desktop to do my job not work.   Anyone heard of ScrumWorksPro.? Barfing on a laf.jar that's missing from the new 1.6 version
I can't seem to 'downgrade' back to the version that worked.   Does anyone have the zip file of the old version of Java that worked? If so, where do I unzip it to.   I'm fine with launching my app from a terminal, I just need the jvm files so I can. Looks like the installer (or my attempts to get rid of the new version by doing rm -r on every Java dir I could find) has gotten rid of the old version of Java.   I just can't seem to find the installer or the zip files to get the old version.
Help!

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload (refresh) buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, Control-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

How can I find an earlier version of iTunes that will work for my new iPod

I am writing this for my technophobe friend. He has an older iBook g3, version 10.2xx. It came installed with itunes 4. He just bought a nano iPod, which I believe requires a newer version of iTunes. he downloaded 7.6, and it will not woprk with his older 10.2 OS. Where can he find a version of iTunes that will be compatible with his older system, and still operate his iPod?
Thank you,
Tom

I really almost no experience with this but from casual reading I suspect he may be in a bind. 10.2 is relatively long in the tooth in the OSX world and I think the new iPods really require you have the OS to run the iTunes they want. I see posts about people upgrading to Tiger so they can run their ipods and I think that's the story.

As you have iOS 6 you must be a developer and therefore should know that discussing iOS 6 outside of the private developer only forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to gain access to it.
So, post your question in the private developer only forums.

How to get back my old version of Adobe Acrobat

How do I get my old Adobe Acrobat back. It worked great for what little I use it. I was updated to Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.04 and do not need that complex of software for just Creating a PDF file and being able to print a copy when I need it. Now if I try to print anything out of Word I am told my trial is over and if I want anything printed from word I have to buy the new acrobat. Why did is get rid of my old version which I got in school?

It should not have gotten rid of the old version. First try uninstalling the new version and see if the old version comes out of hiding.
If you need to reinstall the older version, you might be able to find it at the site linked below, but you will need to have the serial number for it to activate it to full use.

I hate version 4, tell me how to get back to previous version of Firefox or I'm going to IE !!!

Version 4 is awful, I hate it and will NOT use it.

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Very much dislike 5.0, would like to return to 3.8.6 I was using, or whatever it was below 4.0. I made this same mistake when 4.0 appeared but can't remember how to get back to old version.

Just want to know how to return to old version. Thanks for the help.

Rune, now that you've upgraded, unless you had the older OS on your PC, I don't of a way to determine the earlier OS version.
If you did, it would be located on your PC at c:\program files\common files\research in motion\Shared\Loader Files
The latest version of the 4.6 software for the 8520 is located here:
http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8500-series-discussion-gemini/214971-os-8520-4-6-1-470-4-6-1...
1. Delete the newer OS from your PC by going to Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs.
2. Then download and install the older version of the OS.
3. Install the older OS to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

I recently upgraded to osx 10.5.6 and found the version of itunes which allowed me to use my iphone 4, well now i've got the iphone 5 c, how can i find a version of itunes that will work on osx 10.5.6 and allow me to syn my iphone 5?

is there a version of itunes that works with osx 10.5.6 and also allows my to sync my iphone 5?

You say you have 10.5.6 (Leopard) but your signature says you have 10.6.6 (Snow Leopard) - which is it?
If it's Snow Leopard all you have to do is apply the combo updater:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
If it's Leopard it depends on what sort of processor you have. It it's PPC you cannot proceed. If it's Intel you may be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard (which is available in the Online Apple Store) provided you have enough RAM: check the requirements against your Mac.
