How to Use iTunes Library in older version

I updated to the latest version of iTunes and I do not like it.  I went throught the trouble to move iTunes to another disk so I could download a the previous version of iTunes.  When I finally got the older iTunes installed, it was unable to use my iTunes library because the library was somehow updated by the never version of iTunes.  What a pain. 
So, I'm back where I started and having to learn how to use the new iTunes. 
I was more than happy with the previous version of iTunes that I had (I think that was 10. something)....
I would like to try again to go back to it...if someone can tell me how to get around the library problem.
Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to learn to live with the changes and do the extra work involved with using the new iTunes. 
Is this a luxury problem?  If so, I guess I'm just a spoiled baby boomer.  Wah!

In your case you will want to set the iPod to "Manual Update". THis option will allow you to connect the iPod to a computer and will not auto update so songs are lost. when your iPod is on this setting you can use iTUnes to dran and drop songs from the PC to your iPOd (Not the reverse).
To set the iPod to manual, connect the iPOd to your PC, rightclick, and select "iPod Options" here you will switch from "Auto Update" to "Manual". When you change this and hit OK you will get a pop up telling you you have to manually eject the iPod while on this setting. this is normal.
To get songs off an iPOd onto a PC you will have to use either a third party program to copy songs already put on it by iTUnes, Or you will have to set the iPod to "Disk Mode" and use windows exploer to copy songs from the PC and onto another. you can go here to iLounge to read on how to use thrid party program to copy from iPod to PC http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/

  • How to use itune library from an external drive ?

    I have an old old computer that works perfectly fine on window xp and I will like to keep it. However, the disc space on the pc is LESS than my IPOD. I will like to move my library to my external hard disk and wondering if it is possible and if itune could operate with the library from an external hard disk.
    I have a 80GB video ipod and a 4GB ipod shuffle, 500GB external hard disk and 30GB PC.
    thanks for your help.

    Hello,
    I have read several posts which ask questions about the same problem that I am having however the answers do not quite cover the exact problem and I am hoping that someone can help me.
    I have successfully moved my itunes music folder to my external hard drive and I know how to consolidate the itunes library so that it contains all of the music from the music folder on the hard drive however it then loads the music back onto my C drive as I play it from itunes. Also, when I try to consolidate the music from the external hard drive it tells me that I need to have that much space on my computer or it cannot transfer. There is not enough space and that is why I want to move everything, including the library to my external hard drive. When I tried to move the itunes library I could not move it from my C drive to the external hard drive.
    I really want to move the itunes library onto the external hard drive with the itunes music folder and operate both from the external hard drive. Is there a way that this can be done?
    Many thanks,
    Sarah

  • How To Use iTunes Library Manger to Create a Second Library on My HD?

    I have successfully migrated my iTunes library to my external drive. This is great because I've now freed up lots of space on my hard drive! However, I'm now limited to only being able to play my music when the external hard drive is connected to my MacBook, this is not so great.
    When I start iTunes without my external hard drive, my iTunes looks exactly the same, how come iTunes doesn't show up as being empty, when the newly recreated iTunes Music folder contains no music? Of course, once I click on one of the songs, an exclamation mark appears next to it, and I'm told the file cannot be found.
    I've been advised that iTunes library manager is the way to go. I've installed it, but the instructions are baffling me. I want to create a second library on my hard drive so that I can transfer about a third of my library back, so that i can play music when i'm on the go.
    Is there anyone who has been through the same scenario, who can give me clearer instructions than those on the iTunes library manager webpage?
    Thank you,
    Arthur

  • How do I back-up my itunes library in newest version of itunes?

    How do I back-up my itunes library in newest version of itunes?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

    how to use itune ?

    Hi Rashid,
    To use itunes for Ur iPhone click http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-sync
    Setting up syncing
    Tutorial:
    Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side:
    Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example, if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
    What you can sync
    Applications
    Audio content—music, podcasts, audiobooks, and iTunes U content
    Bookmarks
    Books
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Movies and TV shows
    Photos
    Notes
    Documents (File Sharing apps only)
    Ringtones
    Additional Information
    The first time you sync the Info tab with your iOS device, you are asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the service, or replace the data on your computer from the following applications:
    Mac: Address Book, iCal, Microsoft Entourage, or Microsoft Outlook 2011
    PC: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Addressbook (XP) and Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7)
    For more information about syncing your device with your computer, see the user's guide or see this article.

  • I can't open 3 documents because trial upgrade to version 5 of pages happened. I don't want to pay $20 to get upgrade. How do I open docs in older version. They were created in older version.

    I can't open 3 documents because trial upgrade to version 5 of pages happened. I don't want to pay $20 to get upgrade. I don't recall fine print stating money would be needed. How do I open docs in older version? They were created in older version.

    Hi MBilyeu,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to open your Pages documents with the previous version:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Temporarily change the document’s app
    You can open a document in a different app without changing the app that normally opens it. Use either of these methods:
    Control-click the document, choose Open With, and then choose the app you want to use.
    Drag the document to the app’s icon in the Dock or in the Finder.
    From:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document

  • Cannot download a new version of iTunes because the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed.

    I lost iTunes due to a virus.  Now I cannot download iTunes, because the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed.

    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?

    Question: is there supposed to be a iCloud symbol next to every song that matches in iTunes?  I only have "unavailable to match" clouds.
    No. Tracks will only have a cloud in the "iCloud Download" column if they are unprocessed by iTM. If a track is deleted from the iTunes library and is available for download there will be a slightly different cloud icon in that column with an arrow pointing down to incidate it is available to download.
    Tracks that have been processed or are resident in the iTunes library will have nothing in the "iCloud Download" column.

  • HT5037 How to use iPhoto Library Upgrader

    How to use iPhoto Library Upgrader

    Hello Terence,
    sorry that I come here with a completly different thema but I follow your answers since long and they are always excellent! And I do not know who could help... as I can not find the solution in Apple Support Communities.
    I am very afraid with my MacBook Pro: midd. 2012
    Prozessor: 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
    Software: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    Kernel-Version: Darwin 12.5.0
    iPhoto 11, Version: 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iPhone 4s, 64GB Version:7.0.2 (11A501),
    Symptoms:
    1. I have notice three days ago that Spotlight allways answers I should go to the web when I look for data in my computer. It seems that Spotlight can not find anything from my computer.
    2. Timemachine has no data before the 28th. January 2014 (!?) No idea why this happens
    3. In Finder window when I go to "Alle meine Daten"(= All my data) there is absolutely nothing there...it means 0 objekts are there.
    4.In  Systemeinformationen (=Systeminformations) if I go to Software and then to Programs... there is nothig there because the Plug-In do not react quick enough (Das Plug-In hat beim Sammeln dieser Informationen nicht schnell genug reagiert). I am asking me which Plug-In it is and where to find it...
    5. On my iPhone the Photo-stream suddenly shows only 110 fotos from Dezember on, but in My MacBookPro the iPhoto Stream shows of course the lasts 1000 ones...from 25.01.2013 to 03.02.14 as it did allways before.
    I am not going to sync anything until I discover what is going on...
    6. On my Contacts suddenly appeared the link address of a "game" in my own card ( both in iCloud and Lokal AddressBook)... and I have never ever played an online game (!?). So I deleted this two links as I discovered them some days ago...
    I do not know what is going wrong here but I'm afraid to loose all my data in the computer, so I am making a secure copy in an external drive right now...
    Could it be a virus inside... a software problem may be...?
    The mayor  Problem is how to get the programms to work (Spotlight, etc), or how to repair them.
    I'm trying to find something wrong in the Protocols I have here, for example
    - the Repair protocol for users from 27.01.2012 ( /Users/Begona/Library/logs/fsck_hfs.log).
    - the Datasystem-Reppairprotocol from 01.02. 14 (/var/log/fsck_hfs.log)
    - the Installationsprotocol from 04.02.14...
    but I am really lost.
    Thank you very much for reading this, help would be high appreciated

  • Can I move my iTunes music to a device with a different Apple ID using iTunes library on desktop?

    I'm going to be getting a new iPhone real soon and I'm going to create a new Apple ID. The one that I'm currently using now will be handed over to another with respected agreements. I was just wondering if I could still move the music purchases with this ID to my phone that will have a different one using iTunes library on desktop.
    Possible?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. No "yeah, I have this problem too" posts because that is completely unhelpful, thank you.

    You can move the song files into a different iTunes library and sync them to a new device, but they will remain associated with the original Apple ID.
