Install older iTunes version?

i want to install an older iTunes version. how can i do this?
i've recently installed the latest iTunes update on my computer (which has been out of service for 5 months) and now iTunes skips and stutters constantly whether i'm playing songs through iTunes or my iPod. i've tried all the "fixes" i can find on the web, quicktime settings, system audio preferences, itunes settings, etc. and i am fed up. i've spent the past 2 weeks trying to get this latest version of iTunes to work, and i just want my older version back.
please help!

thanks so much! i'm back to version 7 and all my stuttering and skipping problems are gone!!!
my ipod syncs just fine, and i can access the itunes store with no problems!
i'm not sure what happened with the updates over the past 5 months, but whatever it was certainly effects the functionality of itunes on older (2 year old system!!) computer set ups.

  • Can't install older itunes version after 7.5 upgrade

    I recently upgraded to itunes 7.5 and of course it didn't work. Now I am trying to install 7.4.1 and now my computer says "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group." I tried to use add or remove programs and windows installer pops up and says "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. So I hit ok and it says the path C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP048.TMP\AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi in a folder from which you can install Apple Software Update. Any ideas? I'm stumped.

    yeah it doesnt let me downgrade after7.5 wouldnt install. Arent upgrades supposed to be better? Im about to hock my ipod.

  • Older itune version 10.6 trying to reinstall, library problem?

    I reinstalled older itune version 10.6 on Win7 after I reformatted the drive.
    1. Now i have a  library problem? the itunes will not open and i get a message "itunes library.itl" is from newer pgm. how can i work around it?
    2. i want to restore my itunes music library like it was before with the old libray i had from my backup, how can i do that?

    your serial number is for an upgrade version.  you need to prove you have a qualifying upgrade product.
    after you enter your upgrade serial number and the installer failing to find a previous version, you should be given the option to choose the previous version and enter its (the older version's) serial number.
    if that's not working, what version are you trying to install and why didn't the above work?

  • Hi, in my older Itunes version next to my library I had Itunes "Genius" suggesting songs. I don't have it anymore

    Hi, in my older Itunes version next to my library I had Itunes "Genius" suggesting songs. I don't have it anymore. Hpw do I reset it?

    Go to iTunes prefs, general, Genius checkbox. It should be checked if you want it. Is it? If so, go to the Sidebar and look for Genius (should appear near SHARED or ITUNES DJ). Click it. Does it have a button for "turn on Genius"? If so, click that.

  • Installing new iTunes version and won't let me advance past QuickTime

    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
    ok so I'm attempting to update my iPhone 3G to the new 3.0 software and I CANNOT install new iTunes version 8.2.0.23 because as soon as installation begins it starts running the QuickTime install and says "A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed". Funny thing is....it won't let me uninstall QuickTime because it gives me the same error as mentioned before...someone PLEASE HELP ME! my phone is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen and so i'm without a phone currently. PLEASE REPLY SOON!!

    Okay. Let's try removing your existing QuickTime by other means than the "Uninstall a program" control panel.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (6) Restart your computer.
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

  • Need help installing new itunes version on older mac for nano syncing

    I purchased a new nano and new music, but can't get the nano sync because desktop mac is requesting me to upgrade the iTunes version.
    When I do, it says "This update requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later." How does this get done?

    Which exact model computer?  To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/6th_generation/getstarted/
    Basically you're stuck unless you can upgrade OS.  There's no other way to transfer music to the device.

  • Downgrade to older itunes version that came w/ipod

    i recently downloaded the new ipod update(why did i do that?) and the new itunes upgrade. after all the mess that the ipod update did, i decided to try to restore the ipod and go back to the older stuff that worked. when i installed the old ipod update everything seemed to be working fine, but then when i connect the ipod to itunes it says that it cant read or write to the ipod. it told me to go and restore the ipod with the ipod updater i went there and it gave me an internal manager error. i then looked around on the site and it told me that that happens when theres a "disagreement" between the versions of the update and the itunes version. it says to uninstall itunes and then install it again w/ a newer version. now, what do i do? do i uninstall itunes and then install it again with the newer version or do i uninstall itunes and then go back to the original version that came with the ipod? if i do that, where do i get the older version?
    any help will be appreciated
    thanks

    I had trouble with the new version, also, so I downloaded the Quicktime standalone version, that many people here have mentioned. Then, I went to the "downloads" here on the apple site-- it should be up above on that purple strip of buttons under the support tab. And, I found the iTunes version 6.1, and downloaded that. I am using it, and it seems to be fine. The iTunes 6.1 was back a few pages in the downloads.

  • Can anyone help me install latest itunes version with Mac OS v 10.4

    Help, I have just received my son's old MacBook and tried to install the new version of iTunes but now the download says it's not supported by my version of Tiger 10.4. He rebooted the MacBook before passing over to me so everything is old but I have since downloaded the upgrades and just wanted to do the same with iTunes.

    Yep you are correct. Trust me I have spent the last 2 weeks going crazy over this. I had the same issue. I even went out and bought the newest version..snow leopard software but because my mac is older it didnt have enough RAM to support that new version. I needed the original leopard which they no longer sell. After spending an hour on the phone with a rep telling me I needed to buy a new mac I made an appointment at the genius bar at the apple store. The people in store are much more helpful. They no longer sell the regular leopard version but they were apple to install it for me there in about an hour. I am out the money spent on snow leopard but at this point am just happy that I finally was able to get itunes. Hope this helps.

  • Firefox Reader Update does not install older vulnerable version 10.1.13.16

    This has been a problem for at least a month
    In Firefox,  when checking to see if plugins are up-to-date, Reader attempts to correct the problem by bringing up the download page, etc.
    but it has installed the new version but not removed the older older vulnerable version 10.1.13.16 !

    What new version has it installed? If it is 11.x you can have both 10.x and 11.x installed, and can choose to uninstall. Is it definitely the Adobe download page which comes up, there have been reports of scams and I haven't heard of this (but don't use FireFox).
