Is it possible to downgrade fr. iTunes 8 to 7?

Is it possible to downgrade fr. iTunes 8 to 7? I recently updated my iTunes 7 to 8 but unfortunately my iPod 30g won't sync properly with iTunes 8 so I'm thinking if i could just downgrade it to version 7?
I tried to reinstall itunes 7 but it won't reinstall since
" a new version of itunes is currently installed".

Is it possible to downgrade from iTunes 11 back to 10.7

Hi
- Really not linking iTunes 11 , is it possible to downgrade, any answer would be extremly helpful!
Thanks

=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
Try activating the sidebar, menu bar, and status bar and see if this is close enough to the previous version to make you content. It is easier than downgrading and eventually you will be forced to run a newer iTunes unless you have an endless supply of the model computer you currently own.
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Here's a step-by-step method and you may find it easier to follow than alternative methods I have posted below.
Downgrade iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7 - http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/
If the above does not work, or you want to do it without Pacifist, or you want to know what is actually going on when downgrading, or you encounter error messages, here's more details:
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. (Easier) Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. (More work) Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:

Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE from iTunes 7.4.2?

I can't upgrade my system to OS X 10.4.7, which is what iTunes 7.4.2 says it requires, because of other apps i'm using which are NOT compatible. (Unfortunately, on advice from a friend, i upgraded iTunes without checking the requirements)
I've checked the discussions and have not found the answer to: how do i un-install iTunes 7.4.2 and revert to my older iTunes version?
PLEASE HELP.

Is there a reason you cannot apply the Combo updater to 10.4.10?
To downgrade - D/L what version you want at - http://www.oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php
Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the iTunesX.pkg to the trash.
Drag your iTunes app to the trash. B/U your iTunes Library and .xml files. B/U your iTS purchases.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility - install iTunes - repair permissions again.
Open iTunes - if all is well you can empty the trash.

Is It Possible To Downgrade iTunes 11.1.4.62?

I just upgraded my iTunes to 11.1.4.62 tonight and I am not happy with the cosmetic changes to iTunes that took place (Mainly in the TV shows and Podcasts Section). I do not hace an iOS 7 device so I am hoping that there is a way to possibly downgrade my iTunes the the last version.

If you have license for Windows 7 or you have downgrade option. You should do reinstall of Windows 7 and there is no direct downgrade option. It is possible to backup data and then restore files from user profile manually but there is
no direct downgrade option and you have to reinstall all programs.

How do I downgrade to iTunes 11.4?

So, I made the mistake of updating to iOS 8 the other day, and when I went to sync my iPhone today, discovered that iTunes 11.1.3 (Mountain Lion, 10.8.5) won't let me sync my music because I'm running iOS 8. I DO NOT LIKE ITUNES 12. It's a visual nightmare. I feel completely trapped now because I can't sync any new music or movies to my phone without updating iTunes, and I like it fine the way it is.
What are my options? Updating to iTunes 12 just to be able to use my phone, and then somehow downgrading to iTunes 11.4? Is that even possible? I figure at this point it's impossible to downgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 7. I like iOS 8, just not iTunes 12.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one who missed the little fine print that said you need iTunes 11.4 or later. Any articles, links, suggestions?

Follow this linkHow to downgrade iTunes 12 to 11.4? Be sure to remove iTune 12 library first before you install...I am going through that right now and wish I had done that.
iTune is a sick app even since 11.4 like changing the Internet radio when it feels and it got worst with 12...auto launching and if playing the window keeps popping out Dock when minimized.

Is it possible to downgrade to 3.0?

Like so many other people, I am suffering from 3.1 software. The phone is extremely unresponsive, so much that it becomes unusable as a phone! Calls time out before I even manage to answer them.
Is it possible to downgrade to 3.0 preserving my data? I tried, and managed to get 3.0 installed again, but then iTunes wouldn't let me restore my backup, saying it is from a newer version of the software. Obviously a phone without my data isn't of much use.
I am stuck and becoming desperate -- 3.1 software made my phone unusable.

Hi,
If by disaster you mean it behaves like molasses you might try a restore as new.
If you have data in any of the apps you will need to back this up and not just syncing to iTunes. The restore as new does not use a back to get things back on. You will erase the phone then start from scratch putting your apps back on. This lets the system get on the phone first. It seem to make a difference. Mine has been quite stable sine i did this and was very sluggish before.
You will have to reenter any wifi passwords and likely your voice mail pin. You can get that from ATT.
Sync any photos to iphoto too. Be prepared for a fairly long session. I have heard it is worth deleting the download of the 3.1 upgrade and then downloading it again. I did not do this and mine is fine. The procedure for that is on here somewhere.
The problem we are having is due to the memory management of the phone apps or the system. The memory gets low and apps crash. There is a great App for clearing memory. Save rebooting the phone a lot. Memory Info is the name of it. I haven't had to use it much though since I did the restore.
Hope this helps...

Not only will restoring the iCloud backup downgrade the iOS, here's something else.
Let's say that your only backup (iTunes or iCloud) was made will you were running iOS 8.1.2. But you someone managed to downgrade the iOS anyways to iOS 7.1.2. Then you would not be able to restore that data to your device. And that is a far more catastrophic problem a short battery life problem.
Total data loss is worse than short battery life.

How can i downgrade from iTunes 10.5 Beta 2 to iTunes 10.5 Beta 1?

i have a iPhone on iOS 5.0 Beta 1 and iTunes on 10.5 beta 2 but i cant sync and when i install itunes 10.5 beta 1 it's not possible to start itunes
what can i do?

The info below corrects the mistake of upgrading to iTunes 10.5 Beta 2 before installing iOS 5.0 Beta 2 on your iDevice.
To downgrade from iTunes 10.5 Beta 2 to iTunes 10.5 Beta 1 you need to trash the iTunes Application before running the Beta 1 installer. Otherwise the icon will just bounce once and the app won't run.
Then once you are back on Beta 1 should should restore your iDevice to iOS 5 beta 2 (you can only use restore, upgrade doesn't work and throws error 3002) you then need to install iTunes beta 2 and then restore from your backup.

Downgrade of iTunes 11 to 10.7 = error message (-42408)

So I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and immediately regretted it. I then went about reinstalling 10.7 by downloading it from Apple's website and then deleted 11. I replaced the new itunes library with the latest 'previous' version from the itunes folder.
So 10.7 is up and running again but now I get 2 error messages every time I open it.
One says 'An unknown error occured (-402408)' then one appears immediately after saying 'We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occured (-402408). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later'
After I click these away iTunes opperates normally.
I'm sure these error messages are related to my cut and paste way of downgrading itunes but how do i stop the errors from occuring? Is there another file i need to delete/modify/replace?
I really dont want to have to upgrade to 11, I can't stand the new layout that they for some reason are forcing you to have.
Any help would be hugely appreciated,
Thanks,
Jack

Get iTunes 10.7. Apple does not keep many old versions on its web site. I always install iTunes by downloading the installer and then keep it on my archive drive so I can have access to old versions. This one is no longer openly linked on Apple's site:

Re: Downgrading Oct 16, 2012 2:57 PM (in response to nbabbit2013)
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

Is it possible to downgrade to 10.5.5 with the combo updater?

I'm one of the lucky people who no longer have firewire after the 10.5.6 update. I was wondering if it was possible to downgrade to 10.5.5 using the combo updater? There weren't any issues prior to the update and now I can't access my peripherals in OS X. I have boot camp installed and everything works in windows. Also, I've tested the drive on my PowerBook (which still runs Tiger) and everything works fine (DiskWarrior and Disk Utility don't detect any problems). I've re-applied 10.5.6 using the combo updater and I've reset the PRAM, to no avail. At this point I'm fairly certain it's a 10.5.6 issue. So, is it possible to downgrade to 10.5.5?

no. there are no downgrade options in OS X. 10.5.5 combo update will refuse to install if you try. if you don't have a 10.5.5 backup the only way to get back to 10.5.5 is to do an archive and install and then upgrade to 10.5.5 using 10.5.5 combo update.

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.

It used to be in the US iTunes Store as that's where I purchased it. Often the studios will temporarily pull a movie from the store during times the movie is scheduled to be shown on TV or cable TV as the TV network has been granted exclusive access during the period. It will return to the store later.
