I'm Disapointed with iTunes 8.1 performance! How do I go back to 8.0?
I was very happy with iTunes 8.0 then allong comes 8.1 and I did and upgrade. Way too many things just didn't work and iTunes was now very sluggish. I have the Installation file for iTunes 8.0 but iTunes is still sluggish. I would hate to totally uninstall iTunes and then install 8.0 to find the sluggishness remains. I do use iTunes on an older PC and I feel iTunes 8.1 must use more resources and that is what causes my issue. I will not be buying new hardware for 1+ years. I'd like to stay and hold at iTunes 8.0. What is the best way for me to do this over the next year to year and a half? I ask this of the forum because I seem to be trying to install 8.0 but I am ending up with 8.0 + some of the 8.1 features installed. (the sluggish features) (iTunes 8.1 is slugghish on both of my P4 3.06GHZ systems too.)
Any suggestions?
Thank you for this info. What I read was for mac Fixes and I am on a WinXP sys. you did give me some other option to look at.
I still think I need to go back to 8.0.2. I feel 8.1 is too proc. intensive for the systems I have. I do like what I see in the way of feature in 8.1 when it started up but the sluggishness is a killer. The other issues I have been experiencing are downloads that are complete but never get copied over as completed files. The orange spinning icons just sit and spin. After I do a refresh on the download page all grayed out icons turn orange and then in about 15 to 20 seconds they turn to a blue dot. iTune appears to lock up during downloading and I can't switch to another playlist or even minimize the iTunes window. I've stopped loading my Anti-Virus, Anti-spyware and several other background processes with no luck. (these ran in the background with 8.0.2.20) My best guess is still 8.1 is bloated. I'm really saying it is bloated for me. Not bloated for everyone. I can't find the specs for WinXp to see if they (Apple) increased the minimum CPU needed for the 8.1 upgrade.
Is there a place I can download the 8.0.2 installer from?
Thanks!

Everything on my screen, Mac Pro, shrunk! Gmail, bookmark pane, task bar menu, even the password sign in. I'm sure I did something with the fingers thing. How do I get back to default. The font is tiny, tiny. My operationg system is Mavericks.
Thank you for the list, I will print and keep it handy.
Contol F3 makes my whole screen larager or smaller.
Command option 8 does nothing that I can see.
Command option + or - will zoom in or out on the page I am on but if I change windows it reverts.
But bookmarks pane, the task bar, the password sign in and even the post I am writing (actually every printed word), are a font so small I almsost need a magnifiying glass. This includes web pages too!
I am using Mavericks.
Trying to retrace my steps when this happened. Nothing unusual, I was using airplay to watch a You Tube segment on the tv. I don't think that is related.
I really appreciate your help and comments on this. I can usualy google and find and answer, but to no avail with this one! -
Disapointed with itunes support hope someone has a answer
I should first say that the purpose in this post is not to slam itunes support but to find someone with a helpful answer.
About two weeks ago my computer started telling me that 100 of my songs could not sync because they were not authorized with this computer. I click to authorize, it tells me this computer is authorized. I went to the Apple support page and discussion boards and I have tried every option. When nothing worked I sent a message to itunes support stating everything above.
Below is the frustrating correspondence I'm now having with itunes support.
ME:I can't authorize my system to play purchases my system keeps requesting that I authorize, then tells me I am authorized. I have done all the trouble shooting options found on the apple support page and spoken to a iphone support person and they said the problem is with itunes. Please help.
ITUNES:Dear N
Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Pradeep. I am glad to assist you for the day.
I apologize for the delay in response from us. The delay is happening due to unexpected high volume of request. I know it must have been difficult for you to wait for a response from us and I deeply regret that.
N, please accept my sincere apologies for all the frustration caused you.
I am sorry to hear that you are repeatedly asked to authorize your computer. I know how disappointing that must be.
N, the information in this article should help you resolve this:

Thank you for understanding and patience. You are a valued member of the Apple family. Your experience with the iTunes Store is of utmost importance to us. Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer.

ME:As I said in my original email, I have tried all of this, it is still not working.
(in the email below he was wrong I don't have two accounts, my husband and I have two diffrent accounts and home sharing)
Itunes:Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Support. I am Pradeep again. I glad to assist you for the day.
N, please accept my sincere apologies for all the frustration caused you.
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble authorizing your computers to play your purchases.
I did a little investigating and found that you have multiple iTunes accounts:
Please note that it is not possible to merge two or more accounts, and your computers need to be authorized for all of your accounts or some of your purchases may not play.
To authorize your computers, follow these steps on each computer for each account:
1) Make sure you have installed the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version free of charge:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
2) Open iTunes.
3) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Authorize Computer.
4) Enter one of your account names and the password for the account.
Note: You must select the AOL button for your AOL accounts and the Apple button for your Apple ID accounts in order for authorization to be successful.
5) Click Authorize. A dialog will tell you if the authorization was successful or unsuccessful and how many computers you have authorized for that account.
Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each account listed above.
If you forgot the password to one of your Apple ID accounts, you can recover it using the Apple password-recovery website:
http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't remember your AOL password, call AOL at 1-800-827-6364 or click the link below to be taken to the area of AOL's website where you can reset the password yourself:
https://account.login.aol.com/opr/_cqr/opr/opr.psp
To figure out which account you used to purchase a particular item, follow these steps:
1) Control-click (or right-click) the item in your iTunes Library.
2) Choose Get Info from the menu that appears.
3) Click the Summary tab.
Note the account name that appears in the list. The account name that appears is what it was when you purchased the item. Even if you have changed your account name since then, the item's Summary will continue to display the original account name.
You can also review your entire purchase histories. This article shows you how:

Have a nice day !!!
well again he sent me to the website I already told him I have been to, and I also said the whole problem is that the prompt tells me to authorize when it is authorized, WHY did he think he needed to tell me how to authorize my computer?
ME: Once again, the computer IS authorized! The music that will not play is a random 100 songs out of over 1000 that had been purchased on MY account. You have not provided me any information that I have not already read and tried from the apple support web page.
Once again if you had read the first email you would know this. I must now request a supervisor to contact me preferably by phone at xxx-xxx-xxxx. If it must be by email please be sure that my problem is thoroughly investigated before contacting me, as I am tired of repeating myself.
Well; once again he tells me to try options that I have done, and stated in my first email.

At the point when he even says this is out of his league but he's not sending it to someone who can help, I think I may loose it. This is my last responce, yes it was a bit angry but not nearly as angry as I wanted to be. I have yet to hear back.
ME:How many times do I have to tell you? I Have Done That!!! I Have Spoken with apple support, the problem is something iTunes must fix! Why am I forced to continue to tell you the same thing over and over again?
It is painfully clear you lack the ability to help me. Please send this to someone who can.
This is so frustrating. And message boards all over show the same problem. 100 random purchases that will not play, and the trouble shooting options not working. I dont know what to do.
Oh and I have tried removing the 100 songs it just picks a new 100 songs not to sync.That's a shame. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389 should cover most of the issues. The 100 random songs bit is simply that iTunes only bothers to list the first 100 problem songs. At that point, as far as iTunes is concerned, none of your songs are authorised. Again, I realise you've probably tried this already, but is your user account an admin account, or have you tried switching to an admin account to authorise the computer? Do the songs play in iTunes only then not to sync or will they not play either? It may be worth looking at the permissions on the C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer folder and making sure that Everyone & SYSTEM both have full access, then replacing the permissions on child objects, before attempting the SC.Info removal tip again.
I'm just shooting in the dark here however. If I recall the one time I had the problem personally the fix was to deathorise the PC, attempt to play a DRM'd track (i.e. don't use Store > Authorise computer first), authorise, job done. Hopefully there are others on these boards with more experience resolving this type of issue who can wade in with suggestions. I guess if it were me I'd also check I can at least get a different machine properly authorised to my account, i.e. put a DRM'd track on a USB stick and make sure I can play it on another machine. If you're at the 5 computer limit deauthorise all may also be worth a shot.

Hi,My itunes looks strange, because it is completely mixed with chinese charakters. How can I switch back to one Language?
Uninstall V7.3 first. Also, it is a bit confusing on that site, because even when you have the page up for V7.2 it keeps the arrow pointing to V7.3. I wasn't totally sure which version I was downloading, but once I had it on my computer, checking out the properties revealed taht I had the one I wanted.
I only did this thismorning, and I am pleased to say it has rectified my backup problem, plus a problem V7.3 was corrupting my photos. -
Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display. There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark. Double clicking on the box will open the image in a separate window. It's very slow and tedious for multiple images. How can I go back to attached and displayed images? If I click on "Forward", the images appear instantly in the email to be forwarded.
Scott,
My problem seemed to fix itself. Or, by shutting down the computer one night, instead of putting it to sleep, may have reset something. Since updating to Mavericks, I always (or usually) let the computer sleep overnight or anytime I'm walking away from it. A few days ago, I was updating notes for my kids about how to find all my stuff and how to turn on my computer, so I wanted to rewrite the start-up procedures for the iMac, just in case they ever need to. Well, I shut it down one night so the following morning, I could write down each step. Lo and behold, the images, etc. are all there again! Solved, but I'm not sure why.

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?
The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download). To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu. Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

How do I revert back to a version that works?
Hi,
your aspx menus are probably using document cookies to store static information. (f12>Console tab, document.cookie )
ensure that client machines are accepting your company's default GPO settings.
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab,
click "Reset all zones to default"
Content tab, click the "Default" button.
Open a change request with your site developers to feature test for noscript and cookie support in their client side code.
File>Properties to determine which IE Security zone a site is opening in.
Regards.

iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests -
I have 2 iTunes accounts at the same address and have 2 iPads 1 and 2 and wish to use both accounts to buy apps for both iPads
On the iPad you can switch between the two accounts by logging out of one (Settings > Store and tapping the account id on the right-hand side) and then logging in with the other account so that you can then buy with that account. Only one account can be logged in at any one time, so if you are buying apps with two accounts when an app gets an update in the store you will only be able to download that update via the account that originally bought/downloaded it. With the currently logged in account you can also download past app purchases from that account via the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app.
Similarly on your computer's iTunes you have can both accounts authorised (Store > Authorise This Computer), but only only can be logged in at a time for purchasing new content (Store > Sign Out then Store > Sign In) -
