How to revert to older version of ipod software

The latest 1.0.3 iPod upgrade screwed up my iPod. Some artists don't show up under the Artists, All Artists or Genre menus. I have to go under All Albums or All songs under a submenu to find them. In iTunes things are fine, and when I connect my iPod and browse the music on the iPod using iTunes, things are fine. It's only on the iPod things are screwed up. I've tried changing the MP3 tag information on the names, genre, etc. numerous times to no avail.
And only since 1.0.3.
Is there a way to revert to the prior (I assume 1.0.2) version of iPod software? Resetting the iPod stupidly puts back 1.0.3 again. I don't see where I can download 1.0.2 or any iPod version anywhere.

Well. go to http://spr33.co.uk/wp/archives/downgrading-apple-ipod-firmware-102-101 and dolwload the "iPod_24.1.0.1.ipsw" then press the shift button when clicking restore locat the file and then you are downgrading!
The problem is I could only find 1.0.1! I'm serching for 1.0.2 right now!

How Do I Remove Older Versions of iPod for Windows

According to my Add/Remove Programs utility I have iPod for Windows versions 3.8, 4.3, and 4.7 installed on my PC. It appears that these older versions take up quite a bit of memory; however, I am hesitant to try to remove these older versions using this utility because I am afraid of wreaking some sort of irreversible havoc.
Anybody know about this?

If you are running the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1.5), then I believe that removing these past versions of iPod software off your computer shouldn't be a problem at all (since now iTunes 7 does not need a standalone iPod updater application).
To install the latest version of iTunes, see this download page:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Or, if you don't want to download the latest version of iTunes, just delete the previous versions of iPod software (like 3.8 and 4.3), and keep the latest one on your computer.

Downloading OLDER version of ipod software

Does anyone know how to safely change back to a previous version of IPOD software? I allowed my itunes version and ipod software to update a couple of weeks ago and have had trouble since. Someone told me to go back a version, but the problem is my ipod, not itunes. At least, I believe this b/c the files play fine in Itunes, but mess up on my Ipod. So, if anyone knows how to safely revert ipod software, please let me know. Thank you!
PS -- my IPOD is the 80 gig video, if that helps. Thanks.

The process for changing it back to an older version of software would be the Restore process. The only difference is that an older version of the iPod software would get installed after the iPod is erased. If you have not tried using Restore with the most current iTunes, you should definitely try that first.
If you read about people having problems after a Restore, it is likely because they are having hardware problems with their iPod. In those cases (hardware issue), doing a Restore is not going to resolve the problem. However, in most cases, it is a software issue and doing a Restore will resolve the problem. When it works, almost no one bothers to post in the forum that +they did a Restore and it worked+, so you don't read about the times when it worked, only about the times when it did not work. And when it does not work, it's probably due to a hardware problem.
The other problem reported often is with the 4th gen iPod (click wheel). That model needs to be plugged into the power adapter as the last step of the Restore process. Some second-hand owners don't have a power adapter (it comes with that iPod model), so the first time they need to do a Restore, they are stuck and their iPod is bricked.

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 to revert to older version of imovie

I updated to imovie 10.0.2 and I hate it! How can I go back to the older version?

Look in your Applications folder. You probably have the old version still there.
But honestly, the new version is pretty nice. It takes some getting used to because it does some things differently, but a trip to youtube.com will likely answer your questions.

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

How do I download older versions of apps for my iPod?

How do I download older versions of apps which I purchased for my iPod Touch to my computer? I am using iOS 4.2.1 and many apps have been updated to no longer work on older iPods. I know I need to go to the iTunes store but there isn´t a navigation from there.

You can't download them; you can only sync previously downloaded copies from your iTunes library.

Hi johnd83157268,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Could you please let me know what changes have you made in the registry.
You might need to uninstall Adobe Reader from Control Panel and try install it again from the following link:
Adobe Reader Install for all versions
Please ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt installation.
Try again and then let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.
