I really dislike iTunes 11. How do I revert to an earlier version?

I really dislike iTunes 11. How do I revert to the previous version (v10.6)?

So I was pi**ed that they removed the Album Art preview. I decided to downgrade. I renamed my iTunes folder within ~/Music. After deleting the 11 .app, I installed 10.7. I ran it and everything seemed fine. It was empty, of course. So I drag and drop all my files over from the old iTunes folder, except iTunes Library.itl. I copied the old one from the Previous folder, renamed it, and started iTunes. Everything looked as it was, even the window was resized like I had it -- but I had a popup window.
"An unknown error occured -42408"
I tried every single solution I could find on the internet and none of them helped it. I work in IT for a living so believe me when I say I tried everything. The only other solutions were upgrade iTunes (lol) or do a full Time Machine restore. I don't feel like restoring my entire computer tonight, so I decided to suck it up and reinstall iTunes 11.
What a ******* nightmare. I can't believe Apple would remove such useful features and not even give you the option to put them back. I guarantee you won't get them back, either. Apple doesn't have a great history of taking stuff away and giving it back. Really regretting my decision to try it out.
Oh yeah, and I had to fix my iPad with the fix provided above. Didn't help my error though. I couldn't authorize or deauthorize my computer. I want to see if I can deauthorize it with iTunes 11 and then try it with 10.7 but I've already messed around with it enough. I just want to have a good night. This pretty much wrecked it.

How do I turn off automatic save? Or How do I revert to an earlier version of my file?

I just installed Lion. I use numbers, and I wish to revert to an earlier saved version of my numbers file, as I lost data (blank sheet this morning) last night. I did not close the file overnight, but did this morning in an effort to open an earlier version of the file. How do I open an earlier version of my numbers file? Can I do this only if I make continual "running" backups of the file, or is there a way that Lion saves an earlier version a la Time Machine. Thanks much. Vince

My school's website is not recognizing my new verisign certificate with the latest version of Firefox. Tech supports suggest I revert to an older version of Firefox. How do I revert to an earlier version of 3.6.11?

The school's website recognizes the new certificate but does not accept it. School's tech support suggest to revert to an older version of Firefox. How do I do that?

Try to remove the old certificate. Also check if there are intermediate certificates used and stored.

How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox? This new version has me completely bewildered. I can't find ANYTHING!!!

I functioned extremely efficiently with Firefox for years. Now, suddenly the new version lacks the conveniently accessible functions to which I have become accustomed. I would like to re-install the earlier version so that I can resume my customary productivity, but I can't find the earlier version to "update" to ("downdate?") Please help me because I don't want to resort to one of the other browsers, but may have to if I can no longer figure out how to use Firefox. Nothing seems to work the way your instructions specify. You are making me feel like a gibbering idiot.

Make Firefox 4/5 look like Firefox 3.6.x:
*NOTE: Support for Firefox 3.6.x is scheduled to end soon, so we can help you find solutions for using Firefox 5.
**Also Firefox 4 support has ended (replaced by Firefox 5) and Firefox 6 is scheduled for release next week

How can I revert to an earlier version of Thunderbird? 31.1.2 is giving me bugs.

Thunderbird has been working great for me for years. I'm on a Windows 7 desktop computer.
The new version 31.1.2 got auto-installed yesterday, and now I have the popup window to "Add Security Exception" happening all the time, even with different mail servers (Yahoo and Google). I can't believe that both Yahoo and Google simultaneously had their certificates go out of date. So I think the problem is in Thunderbird.
I've submitted a bug report on Bugzilla, but for now I'd just like to revert back to version 31.1.1 (or whatever preceded 31.1.2). How can I do this?

Well, reverting to 31.1.1 did not fix the problem.
''Did you bother to check why you'd get the exception prompt? There must a reason for it, and I don't think it's due to a bug.''
How would I check?
''So I think the problem is in Thunderbird.''
''What makes you believe that? This forum would be swamped with complaints if that was a general problem. The problem is much more likely on your end. ''
Since the update was very new - and I had done nothing to my knowledge that should have caused the problem, I thought that many people would be seeing the problem.
''I doubt this will fix your problem. Please state what error message you get for the Google and Yahoo certs.''
You were right. I have attached a screen shot of the error message. It's the same for both Yahoo and Google.
I don't get any other message, but Thunderbird has become EXTREMELY slow at downloading new messages.

I downloaded Firefox 4 which my iBook G4 does not support. How can I revert to the earlier version of Firefox?

A box showed up that said "this architecture does not support Firefox 4." Firefox was no longer available on my laptop. Leopard is my OS. (Highest it will go)

Do you recall whether your iBook G4 could run Firefox 3.6? If so, you can download it here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you were using 3.5 or earlier, finding it is a bit trickier.
You probably want to backup your profile folder before uninstalling Firefox 4. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Backing up your information | How to | Firefox Help].

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? Thank You, Carol Roberts

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? If there is no way to do this, then I will have to use internet explorer so I hope you can help me with this. Thank You, Carol Roberts

Until Evernote updates their add-on to mark it compatible with Firefox 6, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to try re-enabling it yourself.
You can also downgrade to a previous version of Firefox from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this archive], but please be warned that some old versions of Firefox have known security bugs that are fixed in later versions.

I've upgraded to the most recent version of FF. Streaming/page loading is worse than ever. I have done all that's recommended to fix it. When will FF come up with a fix? And how do I revert back to a version that actually works? Please help. Thanks

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.

Firefox 18.0.1 crashes every time I close a tab. How can I revert to the prior version which worked fine?

I use Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion dm4-1160us Entertainment Notebook. I use Firefox extensively, and have not had this problem with any prior versions. I upgraded to 18.0.1 on Jan 18th and now Firefox crashes every time I close a tab. I use Norton Internet Security, and had no problems prior to updating Firefox. How can I revert to the prior version of Firefox which worked well.

Why is this Norton's problem when it was caused by Firefox's upgrade???
An easier solution is to use a different browser. Norton works fine.

Site Advisor doesn't work w/Firefox v5. How can I revert to an earlier revision?

Your notification said the update to FFv5 was "strongly recommended". If you'd told me siteadviser would be disabled, I'd never have updated.

How to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using RoboHelp 6.

Hello everyone, I need your help. I have recently upgraded
from RH x3 to RH V6. I have just completed the installation of RH6
after spending long time with Adobe customer support as it took
them long time to figure out how to provide me the unlocking key to
install RH v6.
BTW I have only installed RoboHelp 6 by itself. I did not
install their Source Control because we already have Visual Source
Safe which we have been using in our company.
Also, since I had Adobe Reader 8 installed on my PC, I did
not install Acrobat Element 7 either. As I suppose if Acrobat 7 or
higher is installed RH v6 was not going to install Acrobat Element
7.
Well, now after I have installed RH v6, my first step is to
find out how to open project from an earlier version (RH x3) using
RoboHelp 6.
RH x3 is installed on my old PC and I am working on my new PC
where I have installed RH V6.
Sorry, for providing you too many details, the purpose is
only to give you a clear picture.
Please, give me your feedback if I am doing everything
correct and how should I open the project from an earlier version.
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Thank you so much for the response. Actually, after I posted
the question on Forum we had lost internet connection for some time
and I just went ahead and tried it by myself.
This is what I did – since we use MS Visual Source
Safe, my all files were in the working folder of VSS in my c drive.
I just clicked the Open tab/More Files in RoboHelp Starter and
located the RoboHelp HTML Project File. It opened without any
problem. Everything looks alright.
Is there anything specific I should be checking to make sure
if it is working fine in this version of RH. Because I did not
create this project, somebody else did and I have never used this
tool before this is the first time I will be using.
I found your site pretty helpful though and it did have some
information about Source Safe. I still have one question related to
Visual Source Safe that Is RoboHelp v6 linked to VSS automatically
and check the files out from it automatically whenever a project is
opened or we have to manually set the link between the RH6 &
VSS.
In RH x3 whenever I would open a project it would prompt a
message that in order to open this project the following files need
to be writable, would you like to make them writable, selecting
that option would checkout all the files from the VSS to make them
writable. However, in RH V6 I opened an existing project and it
opened without checking out the project files from VSS. Do you have
any idea what’s happening?
Ps: Do you recommend any book on RH 6 for starters or any
other recommendation?
Your help is always appreciated

How do I revert to an older version of iTunes?

I'm running OS !0.4.8, and software update upgraded my itunes yesterday. Now, it won't open - it says I need 10.4.9.
I CANT upgrade to 10.4.9, because every time I do, Airport Extreme update 2007-001, which is not compatible with 10.4.9, stops working and my internet gets cut off. So how can I revert to the older itunes?

hattrickpatrick,
Don't be in such a rush to downgrade iTunes ..... you are putting the cart before the horse!
I would strongly suggest that you upgrade the OSX 10.4.8 to the later versions ... 10.4.10 or .11 ...
but *first update the AirPort Extreme* in the following order:
1) http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremeupdate2007002.html
then
2) http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremeupdate2007003.html
Repair Permissions using (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/RP) ..... RESTART computer.
You should then be able to upgrade your Tiger OSX 10.4.8, which will enable the install of other applications.
DIXIE
