ITunes 11.0.1.12 is a total disaster, how do I find the previous version?

iTunes 11.0.1.12 is a total disaster.  How do I find the previous version?

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.
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the previous search behaviour.
You can also open the menu bar temporarily by pressing Alt.
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 supporting 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.

  • How can i get the previous version of iTunes back

    I have a MacBook with a DVD/CD drive, Mac OS X (10.7.5). I recently updated to iTunes version 12.0.1.26. It seems to be designed for Macs without a DVD/CD drive. How can I get the previous version back? I don't have a back up or use time machine.

    Thanks Chris, there a number of problems I'm experiencing. When I insert a CD, despite the preference being ticked, I nolonger get the box that asks me if I want to import. When I did manage to import I couldn't find where the file had gone. Perhaps what I need is a good user guide for the latest version of iTunes because at this point the impression I have is unless I'm buying from iTunes nothing seems to work as it previously did. It is impossible to add anything to my library.
    I'd be the first to admit I'm no computer nerd and all the information I've found so far to try and sort out my difficulties don't seem to work. Can someone please tell me where can I get a good user guide for iTune 12.0.1.26 because I find it far from intuitive? At least then I have a chance of working out if it's me or the machine.
    Many thanks in anticipation.

  • Where do I find the previous version of iTunes

    I recently installed iTunes 9.1.0.79 on a 32bit Vista Ultimate machine. This has got to be the buggiest version of iTunes I have ever seen (backing up my iPhone suddenly takes 20 to 30 minutes instead of the 5 or so it did prior to the upgrade, the backup never finishes since I get a message that "Yahoo Go Sync Client" has crashed, I never installed anything called Yahoo Go Sync Client but I see references to it in the iTune directories so this must be something iTunes installed itself). Is there somewhere that I can download whatever the previous version was and go back to something that was stable?

    I'm confused.
    iTunes doesn't have any .lib file; it has an .itl file that is its database.
    I have successfully downgraded itunes before by using a database file version that matches the itunes program version.
    Instead of getting the frustrating message about the library being created by a newer version of itunes, my itunes library opened and everything was listed there, as well as ratings and play counts.
    Your iphone not showing up in itunes is a completely different problem.

  • ITunes automatically download an updated version of an app which I do not want to. How can I restore the previous version of that app?

    iTunes automatically download an updated version of an app which I do not want to. Please advise if there is way to restore the previous version of that app, without losing the data in that app.
    Thanks

    Move the old file from the trash to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Mobile Applications/ folder.

  • How can I get the older version of itunes back? I really hate this new one., How can I get the older version of itunes back? I really hate this new one.

    I'm having a lot of trouble with this new version of itunes. I never had problems before. Is there a way to get the older version of itunes back so I can be happy once again?

    Hi Devorah,
    What is it that you are having issues with?
    Did you know that you can display the same sidebar you were used to seeing on the old iTunes by clicking on "View" at the top, and then clicking on "Show Sidebar"?
    The Songs tab provdes your list of songs that can have the same columns you had on the old Music tab, and you can sort them by any of the categories you have selected for columns.
    It may just take a little getting used to. Not sure if you noticed, but the downloading of songs and other purchases is now lightening-fast. That particular trade-off is worth learning some new ways of navigating around. And finding that there are ways to bring back the "look" of the old iTunes was also helpful for me.
    Are there particular things which are causing you grief?
    Cheers,

  • "The iTunes server could not be connected..." How do I install the new version of itunes now?

    Every time I try to check for updates I get this message across my screen.
    "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “ax.itunes.apple.com”, which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?"
    After which it informs me the user could not be connected.
    I need to update so I can sync my phone that just got replaced. Is there any way to do this?

    Refer to this article:

  • If a movie has been available to purchase or rent in iTunes but no longer shows up in "Search Results," how may I find the particular movie to purchase or rent?

    I am looking for the best solution to this "problem" because I've experienced this before.  Thank you VERY much to anyone who might be able to help me with this.

    Also, if I know I've seen a particular movie on iTunes that's no longer available, what's the best way to contact Apple, Inc. to make the movie available so, I may purchase it?  Thanks again to anyone who may be able to help.

  • I just installed update version 11.1.4.62.  Now Itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad.  My wife just installed the same version with the same result.  The problem is clearly a problem with itunes.  What's wrong with itunes?

    I was running the previous version of itunes and it worked perfectly.  I just installed the latest version of itunes (version 11.1.4.62) and restarted the PC and now itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or my ipad.  I'm running Windows 8.1 on my pc.  I tried diagnostics to no avail.  The diagnostic didn't recognize either device.  As the directions advised, I closed itunes, disconnected the devices and stopped and restarted the apple  mobile device service,  That didn't work either.  My wife, who also has Windows 8.1, has the same problem.  She installed the new version and it doesn't recognize her devices.
    Until now, itunes has been totally reliable.  I am convinced the problem is with itunes.  Where do I go from here?

    I resolved the issue by doing the following:
    1. Uninstall iTunes and every Apple application (device support and such).
    2. Uninstall bonjour.
    3. Reboot.
    4. Go to Apple and install iTunes.
    It worked.  When I opened iTunes (after reinstalling) it recognized all my devices, music and video.

And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.

  • When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message.

    When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.

    You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

  • My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?
