Restore previous version of itunes
I installed the new version of Itunes (v.9) and was then unable to access the store due to not having the new Safari. I tried to download the new version of Safari but my operating system was not sufficient. I uninstalled Itunes V9 and reinstalled V7.7. An error message occurs everytime I try to open Itunes - "i tunes library cannot be read". Thankfully I have a separate file on my desktop of the full library, although it can't be played unless I upgrade to V9.
Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

if your profile is correct, you would just need to update to 10.5.8 to run Safari 4.x. just download the 10.5.8 combo updater here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate .html
Safari 4.x System Requirements (from Apple's website):
+Mac OS X 10.6.1 or 10.6.2+
+Mac OS X 10.5.8+
+Mac OS X 10.4.11+
+Vista, XP and Windows 7+
and reinstalled V7.7. An error message occurs everytime I try to open Itunes - "i tunes library cannot be read". Thankfully I have a separate file on my desktop of the full library, although it can't be played unless I upgrade to V9.
if you really want to downgrade to a previous version, here are the steps:
+1) Quit iTunes.+
+2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
+3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
+4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
+6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
+You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
+And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.
this is for iTunes 8.2.1, obviously, but you seem to have the installer for v7.7 handy, so it should work just as well in your case.
good luck !

Restoring previous version of iTunes
How to restore previous version of iTunes on windows pc. iTunes not working
With the sad face icon, you may need to send it back to Apple for repair.

My iPod Classic (160G) used to sync flawlessly with iTunes (93G).
Recently, there seem to be fewer folders syncing. In particular, it is not syncing more recent adds. It also occassionally refuses to sync at least one mp3 downloaded from Amazon.com, giving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50.
I'm running iTunes version 10.7, and the software (2.04) on myiPod is current.
I only use the iPod for music. I have only one playlist.
Reset and restore did not fix the problem; I'm considering rolling back to a previous version of iTunes. Are there any other ideas to consider?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Rgiving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50
See this older thread for some possible solutions.

iTunes and its sync process with your iPod have been know to choke once the amount of data that needs to be transferred, replaced, or updated, reaches a certain size limit in GBs.

Currently have iTunes 11.0.1.12 - how do I restore a previous version of iTunes that was far easier to use (much more familiar with)?
Apple is starting to feel like work and not play.

The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library. I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.
Please advise where this is in the new version?The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

Using Time Machine to revert to previous version of iTunes
Hi everyone,
as many of you will know, iTunes 10.4 is very buggy (I and from what i've read, quite a few others are having problems with adding new songs to the library, in other words, they keep being deleted or disappearing.)
What I want to know is, is reverting to a previous version of iTunes simply a case of going back to an older version with Time Machine, clicking on the iTunes icon in Finder > Applications and then letting the OS do the rest, or should I first delete my existing Library and then do the Restore?
Any tips gratefully accepted.thebestofjillhives wrote:
I use a Imac desktop and online time machine backup with Mozy for my work. If I purchase a snow leopard laptop, would I be able to access the time machine backup files with it?
yes. you could access them in browse mode. control-click on TM in the dock and select "browse other TM disks". this will let you browse backups of another computer and restore what you want where you want to.
Could I clone the whole computer if I wanted?
TM does have a full system restore function but it should not be used on different model computers as it will result on a nonbootable or malfunctioning system. but you can use Migration Assistant on the original computer setup to migrate your data from the old computer to the new one.
I'm looking for a system where my computers could be portable workstations. Any ideas?
Time machine is a completely wrong tool for this. it's for backup, not syncing.
you can use some sync tools to sync some specific data folder (NOT the whole computer). the easiest is a cloud syncing solution like DropBox. or you can use and external drive with a folder syncing tool like Chronosync. -

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Restore Previous Versions - Restored File Filled with Nulls
ISSUE:
The Restore Previous versions feature on my file server stopped working some time in the recent past. If I look at the Previous Version for a file or folder the items are listed and they show a valid file size. However, when I restore a previous
version of a file it is completely filled with nulls. I have tried local restores on the server and remote restores. The results are the same; I get a file that is the correct size but completely filled with nulls. The Server is Windows 2008
R2 64. I have searched for any reports of similar issues to no avail. I'm looking for any ideas on how to resolve the issue preferably while maintaning archived files.Hello,
Can you help me with this too?

Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?
To build a playlist, I would open a newly created one in a separate window, then in the main widow I would roam through the full music collection adding songs to the playlist - by simple drag and drop - as I find them. But this doesn't work when I have to jump between full list view and playlist view in the same window - that kind of confuses the process. I need to be able to see the playlist I am building while I roam through the main list, using two windows to see both lists of songs at the same time. Is this no longer possible in iTunes 11?
Using iMac 10.7.5Apple never officially comments on these posts, true, and I have no idea if they pay much attention to this very helpful user to user forum set-up here, but they do let you provide feedback at-( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ )-for any product concerns you may have, though they don't respond there either, which I think is understandable. I think they do consider feedback while developing updates and I expect they try to incorporate feedback concerns as they create updates and revisions. But it is probably exceedingly difficult to include all feedback concerns or please everyone all the time.
A long time ago I was complaining to them about how the full music library view would jump to show next song playing every time a new song started and that would take my view away from wherever I had scrolled to while the last song was playing. That was annoying and they eventually fixed that issue in iTunes 11.
I have sent apple my feedback concerns (more than once) about how it really helps to open separate windows to do playist creations and edit, revise, and manage playlists - and how that split window method is not easy to use (linked to in a previous post I made on this thread). The more people they get feedback from asking to be able to open multiple iTunes windows, then the more likely they will bring that feature back. So don't forget to provide feedback (go to feedback link provided herein).
Hopefully it won't take them years to return the multiple window capability in a future update. -
I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music. Now, I have a group of songs that will not sync to my iPod because it is associated with the old AOL account. What do I do?
If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Hi,
I encounter a problem with my ipod nano (2 nd generation) because it not recognized anymore by itunes. When I say not recognized I mean that the ipod does not appear in the devices field of itunes. I do not know exactly when this problem appeared : i do not synchronize often my ipod but before with my macbook pro the synchronisation worked. iTunes sees others devices such as my iphone 5 and iPhone 4 with respectively iOS 7 and iOS 6.0.1. My macbook pro is updated with Maverick 10.9.2 and itunes is the 11.5.5 version. My MacBook pro is from 2009. With previous version of iTunes I know that my ipod could be synchronized.
I did not find any solution on the Apple Support, so I decided to send this post. If someone already encountered this problem and found th solution it would be very helpful ....Hello, Jonny-CH.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

After upgrading to version 11.0.4.4 I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message when I try to start a movie on my PC. I have updated Quick time and previous version of Itunes worked great.
One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time. -
7.2 won't save artwork, where can I get previous version of iTunes?
iTunes 7.2 won't save any new artwork. When I press the 'Add' button in the Artwork window, I can select a .jpg file, it displays in the Artwork window, but NOT in the Selected Item window. If I return to the Artwork window immediately it's empty. None of my existing artwork seems to be affected.
I want to download a previous version of iTunes, but all I can find is 7.2. Can anybody help?go to downloads.com or versiontracker.com or a download site for apple products and download it there

How do I add album art like I did with previous version of itunes?
I could easily drag and drop my album art into the window in the lower left album art viewer in the previous version of Itunes. Please bring this back!!!!
Hi,
I am having this same problem, but iTunes is messing up my artwork even more.
I bought some albums from iTunes in the last days. They show with their proper artwork in iTunes 12.0.1.26 on MacOS 10.9.5.
As as well organized German :-) I am used to change artist and album artist into "Lastname, Firstname" to get the right sorting. Doing this with this iTunes version lets the artwork disappear. Trying to add it manually fails as described in the original message.
Hoping for a quick bugfix. I won't buy any more music from iTunes as long as changing anything in the properties of the information tab creates this hassle for me.
