Is there an official "how to revert to itunes 10" guide anywhere???

Is there a guide somewhere for removing itunes 11 and getting itunes 10 back without losing all my metadata? I have looked around and found some for Mac users, but not for a pc user. Appreciate the help.
For those who care, the following are some of the main features that I used iTunes for that are gone:
-Cover flow gone
     I used this feature for many reasons, but primarily in conjunction with iTunes DJ + Full Screen mode + my TV.
     Nobody at my parties ever asks what song is playing. They just look at the TV, they can see the name, album, artist of the current song plus the album covers of the past/future songs.
-iTunes DJ gone / gimped
      Yay we can now use the "play next" feature all over the place.
      --Where is the "past X songs" and "upcoming X songs" playlist that appeared when you clicked on iTunes DJ?
      --Where is the option to randomly play songs from a selected playlist, with "higher rated songs played more often"?
       --Where is remote support? At house parties people could use their iphones to view my library (which was set DIFFERENT from the library of songs chosen by DJ; that is, DJ only played my "party" playlist, but guests could view my entire library for requesting upcoming songs).
-Dark background view gone; bugged for many users
       I hate the white view. For someone who spends long periods in front of the computer, it really strains the eyes and I prefer to use a dark background for any and all computer apps. It simply makes no sense why you would remove this simple feature.
-New UI is more "pretty" than "useful".
      Seriously dropped the ball on this one. Perhaps if I was an apple fanboy and had all your vague icons and systems memorized; but being a "non-Apple tech-geek" it took me far to long to navigate the very unintuitive menus and worse off, my playlists/etc are all hidden by default. What is the point of that?

iTunes 11 seems to shuffle just fine for me.
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

Seriously: How to revert to iTunes 6 safely?

Somebody knows how to revert to previous version? Sincerely, I don´t like videos, I have no time to fight with all the bugs of the new version, and I want to return to the working one. I can save my home folder, restore a complete backup of last week to get the application, and then restore the home folder but, that will work? Or the iTunes library files, updated by version 7 will not work with 6 anymore?

If you want to revert to iTunes 6:
• Trash iTunes 7
• Delete the 'iTunesX.pkg' file from ./Library/Receipts
• Run the iTunes6 installer. It should install without any problem. Older versions (iTunes 6.0.5 not yet) are available here.
• Trash the 'iTunes Library' file in ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes
• Create a copy of the 'iTunes Library 2006-09-12' (or a date near this one) in ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries and rename it to 'iTunes Library'
• Put this file at ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes.
• Run iTunes 6. It should recognize the library without any problem. Any changes you made during the time you used iTunes 7 are lost of course.
I tested the above procedure 2 days ago and it worked without problems.
Hope this helps.

Edit:
I tested the above procedure only to see if it possible to revert to iTunes 6 in case of trouble. I don't experience problems with iTunes 7 on my system.

How to revert to iTunes 4.9 and QuickTime 7

Hello all
I used the Automatic Software Update yesterday and downloaded iTunes 5.0 and QuickTime 7.0.2 and now not a single program will work on my iMac G5 (using 10.3.9)!!!
I know there are other posts related to iTunes 5.0, but I can seem to find an answer to these questions:
Is there a way to revert back to the old versions?
Any one have advice on how to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Interesting.
Normally, if you have corrupt preferences of your 'third-party' (non-Apple) applications, they would have no effect on computer startup issues, as those preferences are not looked at until the program which owns them is invoked. Though perhaps this issue is with some of the Finder and Apple OS preferences being corrupted, which could cause problems with startup.
FYI, Crashes of a program may indeed corrupt its own preferences, and sometimes its own data files too. As your experience with Mail corrupting its own preferences, and Carrie Ann's with their tech move-the-Mail-folder recommendation shows.
But if the crashing or other bad behavior of the Apple applications (Mail, QT or iTunes) is writing bad data onto other, non-Apple programs' preference files, that would be extemely unusual program behavior. (The Mac OS was designed to protect memory, and be less likely to 'hose' other data...)
As you note, Bster, I do see that Apple has just posted a QuickTime (QT) 702 to 701 downgrader file. THis is highly irregular -- not sure what is happening with their Quality Assurance (QA) process these days...
But it does imply that they know something is not quite right with QT 702 and its interactions with other programs.
As a counterpoint note, I am running QT 7.0.2 on my iMac G5 and have not experienced any trouble with it. (I haven't noticed any particular or big improvement with the 702 over the 701 either.) The difference may be that I have stayed at iTunes 4.x and did not upgrade it to 5.0 (actually, my iTunes is 4.7.1 - a few versions behind). And I do not use Apple Mail application (I use the MS Entourage for email - though it is not a perfect solution either).
As well, regarding my setup, I always run repair permissions both before and after any of my significant Apple software updates, and I usually seem to encounter fewer sotware install problems than get reported in the forums.
(I mention this just to illustrate that sometimes software problems arise not due solely to an application or application update itself, but because it was installed onto a machine that had a few minor disk errors or permission errors existing on it before/during the update process. I hope this makes sense.)
Thus the general recommendation to always repair disk and repair permissions both before and after significant OS and application updates. And to not run other memory or disk intensive programs at the same time you are running the update.
So based on my personal computer setup, which so far is running fine with QT 702, it might imply a strange set of interactions between QT 702, iTunes 5 and possibly Mail -- but this is just a guess. It is a very curious situation that has come up with this.
One general recommendation: when you are on the tech support call, ask them to explain WHY a particular action is being recommended, and what it's other effects might be. This to increase your own understanding of the process, and to alert them that you are a wise user, so that they do not issue overly simplified procedures. Empower The User. ;^)

I have just done a software update and now I can not open my itunes. How can I open itunes?

Hi, I have a macbook pro os x, version 10.6.8
While doing a software update, I was asked to quit itunes to download the update. Now I can not open itunes. The icon is still there, but it just bounces up and down when I click on it. What is happening there? And how can I open itunes? Do I need to down load itunes again?

Reverting to iTunes 6 and iPod update

Like many, I prefer iTunes 6 (I like the feature where, when you enter a search term, you can define whether to look in artist name, album name, song title or all).
I understand from another thread that the iPod updater comes in iTunes 7. The updater (if I understand correctly) will add a feature whereby I can alter the backlight brightness on my iPod G5. I want this feature!
Therefore, what I want to do is install iTunes 7, update the iPod and then go back to iTunes 6. (This thread <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637816&tstart=0> describes how to revert to iTunes 6.) Alternatively, I can install iTunes 7 on another machine (also mine, and not normally used for music) and plug my iPod into it for updates, then reconnect to the usual machine.
So finally, the question: Will iTunes 6 recognise an iPod that has been updated by iTunes 7?
With thanks,
PhilD

Try and tell us!
You can always reinstall the original iPod software if it doesn´t work...

I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie. Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

Look in your Applications folder. If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder. Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

How to revert back the changes that have made to Infoset

Dear Experts,
Can any one help me with solution for the below issue?
I have activated(checked) some navigational attributes to the infocube "XYZ".This "XYZ" infocube is used in Infoset and as well as in multiprovider.Instead of activating navigational attributes in the infoset ,mistakenly i have removed the infocube and reassigned(reconnected with previous settings) in the infoset.Now i realized that the technical reference names in infoset(For ex:"ABC_F12,ABC_F13") got changed and giving the problem in Multiprovider.And there are n number of queries build based on the multiprovider.
While iam trying to activate the inactived Multiprovider iam getting an error message saying "inactive infoobjects ...(.ABC_F12,ABC_F13 are not available)....
Can any body help me how to revert back the changes for the Infoset that i have made or anyother process to sort out this issue.
Earlier solutions will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Prathish.

Hi,
If the changes have been saved, then there is no automatic way of reverting the changes. To get the Infoset in the reqd state, you will have to move an unchanged copy into the dev sys. The easiest way would be to transport a copy from the Prod sys. But first you have to check whether the transport path exists. With the help of Basis team, you can do this.
wish u luck.

How to revert p4 port and telnet port from 50204 to default?

Hi,
i changed the p4 port and telenet port to 50204 using Visual Administrator. Now Visual Administrator and the J2EE server are both down. Is there some way I could revert back my ports to the default ports?
Also, my J2EE dispatcher process is down with an exit code of -11113. Could someone let me know how to change the port settings for telnet and p4 please?

Hi,
You can do this through "ConfigTool". It is a offline tool and comes handy when JAVA system is down. It requires only database up.
Start configtool.ba from the directory "<Drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>/JC01\j2ee\configtool.
Then select the node Cluster Data->Instance_<No.>->Dispatcher_ID<No.>->
1). P4->Local Properties
In the port you have to mention 5<instance no.>04
if you instance number is 01 then it should be 50104
2). telnet->Local Properties
in the port you have to mention 5<instance no.>08
if your instance number is 01 then you have to mention 50108.
Then try to restart the JAVA system.
Best regards,
sheo

How to revert back the changes of a task in a change request ?

Hello experts,
Our ABAP team made a script and they have locked a change request for it. Whatever changes made in that script are directly written in that change request through different tasks. Yesterday they opened the script and found that some of the data in that script is missing. The task entry shows that the data is still there which was missing, but I am not able to find out how to revert back those changes which are there in the task, so that the missing data can be brought back again in the script? Can someone please tell me how to solve this problem ?
Regards,
Sanket

Hi,
If modification assistant was on while making the deletion, then the comment should exist for data which was deleted.
Else use the version history to display and recover the lost version.
For eg SE38 -> Give report name -> Display. Utilities -> Versions -> Version Management
Should show all the TRs which changed the object and can compare/restore versions too.

i have downloaded the latest version of safari only to be told that i can not use it on my version of os x (10.7.5). Is there any way to to revert back to the old safari.

Safari is part of OS X and isn't available as a separate download. How did you get a newer version than the one that comes with Lion?

How to revert back to OS X 10.2

I was updating my iTunes on the software update panel, but did not notice that the update OS X 10.4 was also selected. It erased everything that was on my desktop. How can I revert back to OS X 10.2 and recover my files?

Unfortunately, there is no way to revert, unless you have your system backed up on another drive. But an update shouldn't erase any files. Have you searched /Users to see if it's possible another user account was created. If that's the case follow the instructions in this support topic.
If that's not the case, it is very unusual. Your best shot at recovery is Prosoft Data Rescue. There is a free trial to see if it can recover what you need. But don't do another process on that drive until you've downloaded and run it.

How to revert a Time Machine backup storage?

I recently just used the WD Elements SE external storage device as my Time Machine backup. But when I did, I cannot get the WD to work on my Windows anymore. And can anyone show me how to revert a Time Machine backup storage back just to its default state so i use it on the Windows? It's a priority.
And if you can somehow show me how to get a Time Machine backup storage to work for the Windows as well then that would be even better.
Thank you.

Sorry, you can't get a TM backup to work with Windows.
To use the HD as storage for both Mac and Windows, you'll need to reformat the disc as FAT32, or FAT64 if both systems support it.
To reformat from Disk Utility on the Mac;
Turn off Time Machine.
In DU, highlight the WD drive in the sidebar (the actual drive, with the makers name and size)
Select the partition tab
Set the partition sceme to 1 partition
Under the options button, set the partition map to Master Boot Record (MBR)
Set the file system to MS-DOS and name the new volume.
Click 'apply'
The clean volume will now appear below the drive in the sidebar.
Be aware that there is a limit to file sizes on FAT32 volumes of a little over 4GB.

Are There Any Official Answers From Apple/Logic Team To All Our Questions?

Are There Any Official Answers From Apple/Logic Team To All Our Questions Here?????
Why is Logic's interface still heavy Graphically? My G5 Dual 2.5 with 5.5 Gig ram is not enough? see how Cubase handels graphics on the same machine or even ProTools??? by the way I am a Logic user for more than 15 years, so I guess Apple knows exactly that their clients are faithfull to their products so why Logic is still outdated in many aspects, if Apple does not have the intension to make Logic the industry STANDARD they can tell us clearly

Thoughts???
Sure; that if this was once an awesome app that i would either go back to that version or, having been seduced by new features etc., i find that i can't live without them then I would (and have ) dl Reaper (mac, free), try the Sonar7 demo bootcamped (a truly awesome app), find an le version of Cubase (there's no demo and the full version ain't cheap) and try 'em all out on a second machine over a long, slow weekend. They all have strengths and weaknesses. They all have problems for some users. if you can get around on one of them you can quickly gain passable competence on any of them and at the very least you'll learn new things you can do with Logic and, more than likely, learn that Logic is still your favorite. 8 is a major overhaul, it's bound to take a few patches to get it right. Do we want it to be perfect out of the box? Of course. Is that ever gonna' happen? Noooo ... but if it doesn't work, go back to 7, hassle Apple about and wait till the fix it.
Good luck!

Anyone know how to revert back to the previous iTune?

anyone knows how to go back to the previous iTunes?

=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
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.
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. 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. 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:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
Other issues:
- https://discussions.apple.com/message/20432309 - solution to mobile devices saying they need to be restored after downgrading
- If you encounter error -42408:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 > Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) - including specific error codes.
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). A variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184
