ITunes substituted older versions for my Playlist.

I drug 23 audio files from outside iTunes into a new iTunes playlist. However, iTunes immediately loaded older versions of those audio files (that had the same file name) from my iTunes library instead-and without any warning. What's with that? This is a serious matter. I was making practice play-along audio CDs for members of my band to use, and iTunes substituted older versions of the tunes--that had the same file name--from my iTunes library into my new playlist so the CD I burned from that playlist then had outdated versions of our tunes on it. This is not good. How do I keep iTunes from doing that?

I USED to be able to get a playlist or two, I had gotten 5 GB of music back on it by putting 1-2 playlists on, ejecting, plugging back in, rinse, repeat. Now iTunes locked up AGAIN, checked the iPod, NO MUSIC. Really glad I bought this ******* piece of **** two years ago! Totally worth my money!
Now, on top of all this, I find this in the help section.
Symptoms
You may notice the following symptoms on your Windows PC after installing the iCloud Control Panel, iTunes 10.5 or later, or Safari 5.1 or later:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
iTunes is slow to respond.
Windows is slow to respond.
iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Oh, so you mean that since you guys released 10.5, (and its now up to 10.6.??) people have had this issue of their iTunes not responding? What the ****. So basically since 10.5 people have had their iTunes not working correctly? Fix this crap.
I already did the LSP check thing, only one besides the apple one are two windows ones that are up to date and should be there. There is no other help to be had. What a joke.

Need help in adding a folder library (on external hard drive) to ITunes. Older versions had "add folder to library" option...

I have an external hard drive that has a huge music library that I wish to make my Library in ITunes. I have already set the location of the library to the hard drive folder (under Preferences/Advanced). In the older versions of ITunes there was an "add folder to library" option. After selecting that option, ITunes would then take a long time to analyze the songs in the new folder and I could then transfer songs to my IPad. The new ITunes has an "Add File to Library". I selected *.* to include all artists and songs in the library, but ITunes does not begin to analyze the songs and artists in the hard drive.
How do you get Itunes to recognize the songs and artists in the new song directory?.

As long as you don't have an existing library that is synced with a device or holds oodles of carefully crafted playlists, ratings etc. then...
Hold down shift as you start iTunes. You should get an option to choose or create a library. Click create, browse to root of the external drive and click save so that your library is say X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of your external drive. All new content downloaded to the library will stay on the external drive.
See this user tip for a backup strategy.

Can't download songs because itunes wants older versions of it 7.4 and 7.2

Okay here's my issue. I want to buy a new song from iTunes and most songs come up with this error. It says I need to download 7.2 or 7.4 versions of i Tunes, but I already have 7.5!! Plus everytime I open up iTunes it says I need to update to 7.5 even though I already have it. I thought iTunes must be running off of older versions of itself so I deleted all the old itunes set-ups exceot for the 7.5 versions. But I still keep getting all this updating problems still. Did I do something wrong and accidently erased 7.2 and 7.4 versions I still needed? If so, how do I re-download them??

hi,
I don't know exactly how to solve your issue. But iTunes really doesn't need any older versions to run in order to work properly. Therefore, you haven't done anything wrong by not keeping older versions. But when you download an iTunes update, you do not need to uninstall manually previous version. You should simple let the iTunes updater do its work.
It appears to me that somehow your system is beleiving that you still have a version older tan 7.2 despite the fact to you have 7.5 installed. This is why it is asking you to update. It may be related to your manual removal of your previous version.
Have you simply try to reinstall 7.5?

Replacing newest iTunes with older version.

I uninstalled the latest version of iTunes (which I hate) and am trying to install an older version (10.7) and when I try to open the older version, I get the statement:
(The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by newer version of iTunes)
Can someone please tell me how to get the older version to work?
Many thanks

After working on this all day i was about to give up when i came across this on the apple site... and best of all - IT WORKS!!! My computer (running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) and itunes finally recognizes my ipod 5th gen again!! Give it a try!
Reinstall USB driver:
Right-click the iPod's entry in Device Manager and choose Uninstall from the shortcut menu.
In the resulting dialog box, click OK.
In the Device Manager window, right-click Universal Serial Bus controllers and choose Scan for hardware changes from the shortcut menu.
Windows automatically reinstalls the necessary USB drivers and attempts to remount the iPod.

Cannot update Itunes. Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed

Trying to update Itunes, but dowload stops stating 'Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed' ' Ask your Technical support group'
I am computer stupid and do not understand any of this. Is there a simple way to overcome this?

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

ITunes w/ Older version of Quicktime?

Quicktime 7 destroys the ability of Image Converter 1.5 used for creating quicktime files on the Clie. Thus, I've had to roll back to Quicktime 6. However, I want iTunes back on my system but it appears bundled only with QT7 (which I will not allow back on my system). Is there an older version of iTunes that can be used that doesn't require QT7?

I use Image Converter 1.5 to transfer movies to my CLIE also. I had the same issue.
I had to revert back to Quicktime 6.5.2.
I do not have iTunes any more because I cannot find an installation file for an earlier version anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can get an iTunes 4 installer bundled with Quicktime 6.5.2?
Sony has acknowledged this problem. Here is the text from their knowledge base:
Knowledge Article C406201
The Image Converter 1.5 software no longer works.
This issue occurs when the Apple® QuickTime® player is upgraded to the 7.0 version and, at this time, that version of the Apple® QuickTime® player is not compatible with the Image Converter 1.5 software.
NOTE: The Apple® QuickTime® player is upgraded to the 7.0 version automatically when the Apple® iTunes® software is upgraded to version 5.0 or higher.
This issue is currently being investigated by Sony and as soon as a solution is available it will be posted to the Sony® CLIÉ® Handheld Support web site at http://www.sony.com/peg/support

Need to go back to using an older version for 2nd Generation Nano

Hello to all,
I was just told I needed to try and use a older version of itunes to be able to use my ipod in my vehicle (Kenwood DNX-7140). I've tried looking around and have not been able to find the "how to". Can anyone help me? Thank you and I look forward to your reply.

Sure. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. 
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there. 
* To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

Downloading older versions for pc's with no internet

Hi
I need an older version of Adobe Reader to install into a old laptop that has no internet connection. I saw something similar on other threads but for the current version instead, but because the laptop is so old the current version won't run on it.
Can you give me a link to download 8.2 instead?

I can't install Itunes (The older version of Apple Software Update...)

I try to reinstall Itunes many times, but this message keep popping up :''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''. So I google the problem, and tried many solutions that people says like use windows installer cleanup utility (and it says we're sorry, we encountered an expected problem downloading one or more components and can't run the troubleshooter right now. Please try again later) , delete ASU from add/remove control panel (It says The installation source of this product is unavailable. Verify that source exists and that you can access it).
Please help ~ What should I do?!? T.T

I have the same problem as yours too. It always says ''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''.

Whatsapp older version for 3GS phone

Hi,
It is always good to up-date or up-grade our iPhone and the apple always serve all the users same things, but it does not mean the older i Phones can not down load any applications from the apple store. i found that there are no applications available for older versions which was developed for that older configurations but it was not now available on the apple store. There should be an options on the apple store to down load the older versions applications.
I request to developers please think about the value of the old is gold versions of the applications.
I believe changes always acceptable and it should be otherwise we can not up-date our system.
Regards
-Ck

Hey Jimmer07,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5919
Here's how you install an earlier version of an app:
1. Open the App Store (with iOS 4.3.3 or later) or Mac App Store (with OS X Mountain Lion only).
2. Go to the Purchased screen (iOS) or Purchases tab (OS X).
3. Select the app you want to download.
If a compatible version of the app is available for your version of iOS or OS X, simply confirm that you want to download it. For example, after purchasing iPhoto for your iOS 7 device, you can install an earlier compatible version of iPhoto from your iOS 6 device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I had an old version of firefox & it made me upgrade to a newer version, however once I upgraded it said it does not work with my Mac that is a OS 10.4 & not I cannot access or download firefox, how can I download a older version for my Mac?

I had firefox on my computer and it made me download the newer version, but once I downloaded it, it said it does not work on my computer which is a Mac OS 10.4 and now I cannot use firefox at all on my computer. How do I download an older version that will work on my computer?

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

IPhone is not recognized by iTunes. would like to backup/sync. itunes is older version, using OSX. itunes recognizes pics but not the device. I am unable to DL the latest iTunes

Here is the deal, i have not been a good mac owner in the sense that i probably havent had proper updates throughout the years. Hence, my itunes is out of date and my iphone doesnt get recognized by itunes (poor fella). but the strange thing is that my other iphones were recognized.
Here is the kicker, my cloud has a backup on my iphone and my ipad recognized on the iPhone device taking up 587.2 mb. IF i delete the ipad will it remove contacts and wreak havoc.

Your other phones were probably old enough that they worked with the version of iTunes you have. When you buy a device it requires the version of iTunes current at the time of purchase. A new phone will require a new iTunes which won't run on your Powerbook.
I didn't think iCloud backed up to a device, the device backs up to iCloud. Are you sure you aren't simply seeing backups in the Cloud and not something actually on your phone?
