Restore earlier version itunes ?

Help - I want to go back to an earlier version of itunes.
How does one do that?

(total 5 backups records)
I want to restore backup for iPhone 4 which I done on 20/07/2014 3:00 PM. After this backup I update my iPhone from iOS 6 to iOS 7.1.2 using itunes. Unfortunately error occured during update, the iPhone reset itself and I was following the instruction to setup iPhone for few times and keep stuck at the last step. The 4 backup records shown above are the consequence of repeating setup and sync automatically (all are empty phone backup after reset).
This is the most painful iOS update for me I lost all my data in just one click.
Besides the 4 backup records listed there, I am hoping there is other ways to look for backup. Is there any?

IPad frozen after attempting to restore earlier version

My iPad is frozen after I tried to restore an earlier version - 20 Dec 2012 - via my laptop. I have used the on/off and centre control together to try and re-boot, but the apple returns and no further action occurs. Connecting it to iTunes via the laptop does not work as it appears the laptop does not read that the iPad is connected. Any suggestions?

Are you using iTunes to restore it? Were you getting error messages? If so, what were they?

How do i download earlier versions itunes

how do I download an earlier version iTunes

Presuming that by Pretoria you mean South Africa, you will need to import CDs into iTunes or purchase music from some other source, if any exist in SA. Apple has not at this been able to offer music for sale in your country. You can find a list of what content is available to you in the iTunes Store on this web page:

Restoring earlier version of document in mac

accidentally saved blank page over document I was doing. need to restore (time machine not working). how do i find earlier saved version of word doc?
using microsoft office 2008 word software.

Hi Preeti,
I hope that the following information could be useful for you:
1. We need to display the document having latest version of changable status when CV02N is run (irrespective of the document version entered). Similarly when CV03N is run then document having latest version of released status should be displayed.
Here I think an implementation of BADI DOCUMENT_MAIN01 with method BEFORE_READ_DATA or AFTER_READ_DATA could be useful. With this mehtods you should be enabled to control which version of a document info record is displayed in CV02N or CV03N.
2. Do we get the change history of the document? i.e. time of chaneg and what changes were done? I just found status log.
The changes of a document info record could be displayed by using the menu 'Environment' >> 'Display Changes' in CV02N or CV03N transaction. This works if you have set the flag 'Change Docs' in transaction DC10 for the document type.
3. Is there any way in which we can have indicators for invalid versions of documents?
For this there is a menu entry called 'Versions' in menu "Extras". This entry lists up all existing versions and highlights the current one.
Best regards,
Christoph

The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1. I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success. Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Unless you just attempted to downgrade iTunes to an earlier verison this is probably a sign of a corrupt library.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

How can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes?

I installed the newest version and it took EVERYTHING off my hard drive. A lot of it is crap I don't want on there. Can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes that only has whats on my Ipod? I tried system restore and had no luck. Thanks

A couple of posts of mine that may help you;
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8336830#8336830
If your disk was wiped, presumable you will not need to worry about the library as a new blank library will be created.

I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.

I just updated my iTunes and I do not like the newer version.....can I go back to the earlier version?? This new version does not have the iTunes DJ nor does is show at the bottom as in the earlier version how many songs and the size of my library.

To do this in iMovie 11. use the SHARE menu. Share your project using the Share menu and choose Export Using QuickTime.
In the Dialog box that comes up, choose Sound to AIFF, or one of the other sound options. This will create a file that you can drag into iTubes.

I can't download Snapchat on my iPod Touch 4G- it says I need IOS 7 which I can't get. However, I was able to download an older version of the app from iTunes last weekend without any problems. How do I download an earlier version of Snapchat?

Last weekend I was able to download an earlier version of Snapchat from iTunes without any problems.
I now won't let me download Snapchat at all, saying it needs IOS 7.
Why is it doing this and how can I download an earlier version of Snapchat onto my iPod again?
I don't understand why this week it has started saying I need IOS 7, without giving me the option to download an earlier version.
Many Thanks

Try:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
However, sometimes a previous version is not available.

Hi my and My husbands iphones are no longer syncing to itunes but have synced in the past. When I try to sync it says I need to latest version of itunes. But when I try to download the latest version of itunes it says I need an earlier version first.

Hi my and my husbands iphones are no longer syncing to itunes but have in the past. When i try to download the latest version of itunes it won't let me do it until I load and earliers version....help

No problem.
Okay ... Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that install go through okay? If so, can you connect the phones now?
