How to rewind iTunes (from 7.0 to older versions)!!!!!!!!

i recently tried this and worked fine with me, i work with WINDOWS XP not iMacs
Here's what you got to do:
1: Very Important Step!!!, back up your library and then save it in a place where you can find it easily later, do not save it on the folder containing iTunes default library files
2: Uninstall iTunes 7 (it doesnt even deserve that name, iCrash would fit perfectly dont you think??)
3: go to the folder that contains the iCrash library files (the default ones), erase them, also erase the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder, but, do not erase the back up you did before AND the "iTunes Music" folder
since both are linked and they cannot work if either one is missing
4: now you can install the previous iTunes version you want to, then, make sure it can open up/load up, now click on "file", select "import" (this option depends on how older the iTunes is, i rewinded it to 6.0.5 ver.), now search the backup you did before and double-click it...
5: Voila!, now you're the proud user of a real iTunes, not the "impossibly better" iCrash 7.0
If you have any trouble after doing this, post a comment down there...

hey der feniks! Could you walk me thru backing up my music to a safe place? My stuff is so messed up after trying to follow apples instructions, I'm afraid of doing anything else. I still have ALL my music in my file and if I lose that, well, imagine!
So if you could tell me how to do that so I can re-load my itunes that came with my 30 gig, I'd appreciate it. I haven't been able to access my music for over a week. And spent an hour and a half on the phone with apple tech support. After they walked me thru everything, it still didn't work. So since they didn't know, they tell me it has to do with my microsoft software. Which, I had no problems with it messing up my other itunes installs. I would just like to be able to access my music! I actually went out and bought a cd today, because I can't buy it thru itunes!!
Thanks!

  • How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help

    How to move iTunes from one user to another on the same Windows 7 computer? Thanks, Bob

    Move the iTunes library to a shared area and then into the desired location. If this isn’t the default one, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that library.

  • When installing the new iTunes software, the message : "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed." What should I do? I tried deleting files related, but nothing works.

    When installing the new iTunes software, the message : "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed." What should I do? I tried deleting files related through control panel or the manual way, but it doesn't work. Am I missing something?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • How to consolidate iTunes from MAC & PC on to a NAS box?

    === Background ===
    I've got 2 MACs & 2 PCs (WinXP) and I want to get the iTunes data consolidated to the network.
    I've got iTunes data (including purchased songs) on both MACs and 1 PC.
    MACs have iTunes 8.02. PC has iTunes 7.4.3.1 (but I can upgrade if that helps).
    All purchased songs have DRM and were bought using the same Apple ID.
    All the machines are on the same 10/100 network.
    I have a NAS box (BuffaloTech) that can be viewed from each machine.
    === Challenge ===
    I'd like to move all the iTunes content to the NAS box so that:
    - all songs/playlists, etc are in 1 place
    - I can use iTunes on any machine MAC/PC to see/play the same libraries
    - I can use iTunes from any machine to buy/add more songs to the libraries
    === Questions ===
    How hard is all this?
    Does the answer get more complex if some of the MACs have multiple accounts?
    I'd like each account to be able to see all the songs.
    I've read about moving iTunes to an external drive. I figure I can use the same process
    to move iTunes from one machine to the NAS. I wasn't able to see much about merger the other iTunes libraries in with the first. Should I do this through my iPhone/USB rather than through the network 10/100?
    Once I have the iTunes setup/consolidated on the NAS, how to I get the iTunes on each machine
    to use the data on the NAS. Will I run into issues (e.g. file locking) when more than one machine uses the iTunes database at the same time?
    What should I watch out for?
    Any recommendations regarding this sort of configuration?
    Thanks for any advice,
    -Dave

    Hey u2sweetestallie,
    Thanks for the question and detailed information. If your backup drive (in your example, drive A) included the iTunes Library files, you can open the library by following these steps:

    If the hard drive did not include the iTunes Library files, but instead just the music, you may wish to re-link or re-import the music:

  • How to Play iTunes from a external Hard Drive?

    Is it possible to run iTunes from an external hard drive so that I dont use up the space on my labtop? For example, store all my music files on the External and run it through iTunes.

    Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
    If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

    If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.
