Is there any way to get an older version of the iTunes Library .xml backup file?

I turned my computer on today and my entire library was gone! (Files, thankfully, still available) I tried to restore from the .xml file, but the file was already updated with the new/empty iTunes before I could restore my original one. Is there anyway to get an older version of that .xml file back? PLEASE HELP!

Not from the store no, only the current version is available there - the only way is if you yourself have a previous version of it on, for example, a backup

That refers to free disk space, not RAM. If your computer has 4GB of RAM, that's enough. If it only has 4GB of free disk space, you need to delete content from the internal drive; for best results, free up at least 20GB.

Is there any way to get an older version of iTunes on my computer? I really dislike the newest version.

My computer crashed last week. I had to replace it. It was necessary to reinstall iTunes. Of course, the most current version was downloaded. I really dislike it. I can no longer sort my music the way I want it.There is way too much emphasis album art work. It takes too much work to do the same thing older versions were able to do. Crazy as it sounds, I'm looking for a downgrade.
Does anyone know how to download an older version? I hate to think I'm stuck with the current one. Your suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

because my computer doesn't have the required Service Pack 2
Then install it.
It fixes many, MANY bugs and problems.

Is there any way to get an older app version of apple tv remote?

It's been several months since the apple tv remote app was updated to 3.0+.
Once I updated, I have not been able to control my apple tv (2nd gen).
I have 2 ipod touch (2nd gen as well) and neither can use the updated app to control our apple tv any more.
We've had to resort to using the aluminum remote (which we constantly are losing)
Long story short. Is there any way to get an older version of the app (say 2.4)? I've looked everywhere but everyone links back to itunes (and that only has the latest version). We're also stuck on iOS 4.2 because of hardware. There are a couple of sites out there but it seems that they are not legit as they ask for credit card info.
Any help is appreciated.

You can only do so if you downloaded a previous version at some point in the past, and it's still in the iTunes library on your computer. If that version is updated too, maybe the old version is in Trash/Recycling Bin.

You will need to go via your computer's iTunes - to get music into the Music app you either need to download it directly on the iPad from the iTunes store app, or sync it from your computer's iTunes

I was burning an audio book and on the last of six CDs, the CD i entered had a problem. Itunes quit without burning the last CD. Is there any way to get it to burn just the last CD or do I have to re-burn all of them?

I was burning an audo book to CD. It was six CDs long. After the fitth CD I inserted one that was defective and itunes just ended, as though
the burning had been completed. Now I have five of the six CDs.
1) Why did it do this instead of telling me I had a bad disk or something?
2) Is there any way to get it to re-burn just the last disk instead of having to re-burn all of them?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings

then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer

you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

With just ONE inatentive sweep of my finger one page of my note was disappeared! Is there any way it can be recovered without using the help of iCloud backup?

1. With just ONE inattentive sweep of my finger one page of my note disappered. Further more, the same page in my iPad was deleted automatically too! How could this happen? Is there any way it can be recovered without using the backup feature from iCloud? The data is vey important to me?
2. I havn't connect the power code to my iPad yet, the backup copy in the iClout was before the accident as I checked in iPad. Is there any way that I could open my notes in iCloud backup so that I can copy the missing page and move back to my iPad and iPhone?
Thanks a lot for any help!

Sorry, no. The only way to restore this note is to restore from a backup that contains it.

Is there any way to hide certain artists/albums in my iTunes library from Home Sharing?

Is there any way I can hide some of my music from other people, like my sister, while they are accessing my iTunes library with Home Sharing?
I have a few personal recordings that I don't want anyone but me to have access to.
Is deleting them from my library the only option?

It's not an ideal solution ... but have you considered creating a second library (called, say, "Private Library") containing just the personal recordings?
To create the private library, hold down the shift key while launching iTunes. Click "Create Library" in the dialog that comes up.
Once you've created and opened the "Private library", don't activate home sharing for it. Now go "Edit > Preferences". In the "Advanced" tab, select "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", as per the following screenshot:
... and click OK.
Now add the personal recordings to the Private Library.
To get back to your original library, quit iTunes. Hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes ... but this time click the "Choose library" button. Browse to the iTunes library file for your original library and doubleclick that. You should now be seeing your original library.
Delete the personal items from your original library.
Now, in order to see those recordings in iTunes, all you have to do is do a "Choose library" when launching iTunes, and open Private library. Because Home sharing isn't activated for Private library, your sister won't be able to access those recordings. (She won't be able to access your original library either, though, when you have Private library running.)

Is there any way to download an older version of iTunes?

My iPhone won't connect to my laptop because I have an outdated version of iTunes. However, I can't download the newest version of iTunes because I don't have windows 7, so it stops loading at 18.70% every time I try. How can I fix this?? Where can I download an older version of iTunes but still be able to plug my phone in?

There is no requirement to have Windows 7 to run the current version of iTunes.
If you want an older version of iTunes, a simple google search will show where to find older installers.
However, if you would prefer to resolve the real issue (which likely will still occur even with an older version of iTunes), try the following:
Disable any security software.
Try downloading from a different browser.

HT1414 I never synched my iPad to a computer, and I forgot my passcode and am now locked out. I read that I need to do a restore, but will lose all my files. Is there any way to get into my iPad but NOT lose my photos and files?

I forget my passcode, and got locked out of my iPad. I never synched, so my files aren't backed up. I read that I need to restore, but will lose everything. Is there any other way to not lose my photos and files on my computer?

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Our hard drive on our 27in Mac crashed and was replaced. Is there any way to get our music/movies from our iTunes account back?

Our hard drive crashed (it was the one that was recalled) and Apple replaced it. Is there a way to access our iTunes account and get our music/movies back? Or do we have to re-download everything? What about music we purchased?

Perhaps without a lecture level 10, it has long been a basic requirement to backup one's computer. Of course who would have thought one would have to backup something that is downloaded from a premium service like Apple's iTunes with the iCloud.
Much of the media purchased from Apple appears to be redownloadable, except for things that are arbitrarily not (because of licensing or whatever, but these reasons are not apparent to us, the lowly customer).
This is hard to understand until one has a problem, and finds the article listed above, or tries to enter a support ticket and ends up in the forum with someone who has obviously answered too many questions.
So how about we ask that a product manager at Apple consider a novel new feature - provide an online locker for movies purchased with real money through iTunes.
Let's call it iCloud and tell the world about it!

Is there any way to get music that wasn't from iTunes in/off of the iCloud?

I backed up everything on my 4th gen iPod touch to the iCloud and am transferring it all over to the 5th gen iPod touch I just got but not all the apps and music that were on the old iPod are switching over. Is there a way to correct this? I have a few hundred songs that aren't coming over and they aren't on iTunes.

Music is not included in the backup because it is assumed to be in your iTunes library. If you have music on your old iPod that was not purchased from the iTunes store, and is not in your iTunes library, the only way to transfer it would be to purchase and use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy or PhoneView (Mac only) to extract it to your PC. Once extracted, it can be imported to your iTunes library and synced to your new iPod.
Otherwise you would have to re-import the music to iTunes from the original source CDs.

Is there a way of getting music stored on iPod into iTunes library?

Recently my harddrive broke completely and there's no way of getting back my files. I have some files saved but not all!
My iTunes library has also gone missing due to the fact my computer had to be wiped. The only files I have are the songs currently on my iPod which was last synced about 4 months ago.
I'd like to reconnect my iPod so that the files on there can be restored on my iTunes account and I can continue using them as normal.
I'd also like to sync my new iPhone to the same iTunes library (if it works), but this has a different Apple account. This part is not as important as trying to get my music back. I had an extensive library and I'm dying to put new additions on, but I need my previous music back first!
If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Thank you so much!

Is there a way to link from a podcast in the iTunes library list to the podcast in the iTunes store?

There used to be a link button that did exactly that. It vanished from iTunes 2 or 3 years ago. At that time, a number of posts asked how to put it back. None of the posts I've found had a useful response, so I gather there wasn't.
I'm just wondering if things have changed.
Many podcasts now have multiple entries in the iTunes store - often with similar graphics. There are times when I want to re-download an episode of a subscribed podcast. The problem isn't getting to the podcast via a search of the iTunes store. The problem is determining, when a podcast has multiple entries, which version of the podcast has the episode I want.
Thanks

As far as I know (not very far, btw) new versions of Java are now only distributed from Oracle specifically for OS X. Apple is no longer updating Java beyond the version distributed with the 2014-001 security update. Java SE Runtime Environment 7 1.7.0_67 is the most recent Oracle release. That's pretty much all I know.
