Reverting back to itunes 6.0.5 wont work
when i tried to reinstall itunes 6.0.5 beacause of the trouble with version 7, there is no file that says previous itunes libraries. what's goin on?
Apple better get their act together soon. I was considering on upgrading my 3rd Gen. Since all the problems with the iTunes 7, I'm holding off. This is very frustrating and a waste of time. It's amazing that they release a piece of software this troublesome. The trouble seems pretty widespread and not just a single problem.
The failed installation caused major boot issues and conflicts. They did not exist before I attempted to install version 7. If I end up having to do a clean install of my OS due to the problems caused, no more iPod. It's already caused me to spend too much time trying to correct the problem.

Ok so I reverted back to iTunes 6.05, but what's the deal with QuickTime??
I just followed the directions (posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=642274&start=0&tstart=0) to revert back to iTunes 6.05. I definitely uninstalled iTunes 7 first and restarted my computer afterwards, but when I open iTunes 6.05, I still get the error message about QuickTime not being up to date. Before all of this I had downloaded and installed QuickTime separately of iTunes. I got this error message when I was trying to use iTunes 7 also. Should I downgrade QuickTime or try to reinstall it or something?? What's going on?
uninstall everything that relates to Apple out of the Add Remove programs list
reboot
then get the installer for iTunes 6.0.5 from filehippo.com
re-install itunes
reboot
done

How to undo an iBooks conversion and revert back to iTunes
Apple listens if enough people complain. If you hate the current implementation of iBooks, send Apple feedback here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks.html
I'm starting this thread as a central place to collect ways of either:
A. Preventing a conversion from iTunes to iBooks
B. Reverting back to iTunes after a conversion
Here's what I've seen in the community so far:
Kevin Edgecomb's solution for reverting back:
Re: Not impressed! No edit info, no library management!
Andy Epprecht's solution for reverting back, building on Kevin's:
Re: Not impressed! No edit info, no library management!
Any other solutions for prevention or reversion?And here's Andy Epprecht's refinement:

Re: Not impressed! No edit info, no library management!
Oct 26, 2013 4:06 AM (in response to Kevin Edgecomb)
A small refinement or let's say alternative to Kevin's wonderful solution:
1.) Stopped the bookstoreagent process.
2.) Moved its file to elsewhere (Documents) so it wouldn't start up again on reboot.
Now assuming that you want and have organized all your media (music, video, book, pdf, etc.) in your 'iTunes Media' folder:
3) Opened up iTunes, made sure I had checked 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library' in iTunes >Preferences>Advanced
4.) Went to iTunes>File>Library and checked 'Consolidate library' (and all my files (books/pdf's) magically reappeared (got copied back) in my iTunes Media folder (with all tags and so on like they used to be)
5.) Counted to ten.
6.) Restarted iTunes, saw all my stuff still there.
7.) Deleted iBooks for Mac (maybe wise to backup it to some external drive before), and the books in the new iBooks storage folder (that's in:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks)
8.) Synced to my iPad, and was, yea, verily happified.
For whom it helps.

Mackeeper moved my files to my trash so i pulled them out of my trash to my desktop it has copied them to my desktop as well as kept them in my trash!!
im so confused and things are not working properly anymore such as my google chrome for example...all my book marks are gone BUT i can go to the google file which is out of place on my desktop and view all my bookmarks data...ALL of my files still exist but they are just out of place now which is making it hard for certain options on my computer to work...
the files includeAccounts,address book plug-ins,addressbook,Adobe,AIM,Alfred,Anquet Maps,Apple,Asramsoftware,Audio,Automatically add to itunes,facebook,facebook 15-53-13-329,faxfresh,five details,flipping book photo album, font collections, fonts, forismatic,Garageband,Gimp,Google,Google 15-53-13-344,icloud,icons,idocument lite,ilife media browser,ilifepage layout,internet plug-ins,ip scanner,itext express,itunes,iweb,Keyboard layouts,Keychains,launch agents,Librarian,limit point software,logs,mail,mail 15-53-13-895,messages,metadata,mobile documents,mobiscope,moso,movie effects,mozilla,MPlayerx,mywebcamBroadcaster,Native instruments,Skype and LOADS more......
HOW do i get this stuff back to where it is supposed to go so that these programmes work properly again???? i also used delete and command but that did not work either,like i said i have not emptied my trash and ALL the info is there its just totally out of place and the put back option will not work sor some reason!!??? im running 10.8.5 imac someone PLEASE help me!!
i have not set up time machine either but i do back up to a site called backupblaze...Step 1
Remove "MacKeeper" as follows.
"MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
Failure to remove MacKeeper will result from neglecting any one of these points:
Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
Don't empty the Trash after dragging the application to it. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
Don't try to drag the MacKeeper icon in the Dock to the Trash.
Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
Step 2
Restore from the last backup that predates the unwanted changes. -

while putting music on my iphone from itunes my iphone suddenly cut off. it wouldnt come back on unless hooked up to charger and even then it turns on and off.. i have tried restoring it but it wont work. it actually restored once but it just started doing the same thing within an hour. every other time it errors out. what can i do?
Hi emfletcher!
If you have already tried restoring the iPhone, then the next troubleshooting step to address this issue would be to try putting the phone into recovery mode and attempting a restore from there. I have an article for you that can help you perform these steps:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
In order to fully troubleshoot and isolate issues, I would recommend not restoring from your backup after you finish this procedure. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Reverting back to Itunes 7.4.3.1
PROBLEM:
I had issues with Itunes 7.5 on my laptop (IE Itunes 7.5 wouldn't run at all!) and found very little in the form of direct plain instructions available anywhere that would help my issue.
SOLUTION:
So I did a date restore on my laptop to a date where I knew I had the previous version of Itunes on my laptop (which I never had any issues with!).
Quicktime then started to malfunction, (Error Mssg # 2093), my solution to that was to select "Start" menu, then select "Set program access & defaults" scrolled down the list to select Quicktime then I selected the "Repair" option.
Needless to say this worked, Itunes is back up & running on my laptop (albeit the previous version) and I am now a happy chappy again.
I hope all of you out there who have had issues with Itunes 7.5 (as I did!) find this fix useful.There's an answer to your question but first it's time for a bit of a lecture - if it makes a difference, I don't feel any better about this than you do. : - (
I hope you take this unfortunate state of affairs as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
Anyways, that's the lecture. You should find a resolution to your problem in Zevoneer's post .
Good Luck! But once you have the music back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!
P.S.
If you want to get a bit of a "bigger picture" on back-ups, you might want to make yourself a cup of tea and have a look at this article on the PC World web site and this Microsoft support page .

How to revert back to iTunes 6.05
First, go into My Documents / My Music / iTunes and see if there is a directory called Previous iTunes Libraries. Open this and find the one with the most recent date and copy it to your desktop.
Now go ahead and uninstall iTunes. Restart if necessary.
Download iTunes 6.05 from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
While you wait for your download to finish, go back into your iTunes directory from above. Look for the file named "iTunes Library.itl" and copy this name. Then delete this file. The file that you copied to your desktop, rename it to "iTunes Library.itl" and move it to this iTunes directory.
Install 6.05 and your music should be exactly where you left it pre-iTunes 7.
Cheers!As a great lover of the music video side of iTunes I can't really convey how disappointed I am with apple on this latest update.
My player no longer has a videos section at all! I don't watch tv or movies right now so those areas mean nothing to me, obviously they could have left the video section in.
And what is with the window size? even fully maximised it's too big for my laptop screen! Scrolling that extra centimetre to read the end of every comment sentence is vastly annoying and unnecessary.
Also, previewing videos is now barely worth it as the play back is so inferior to the previous incarnation. Bigger screen does NOT mean a better view when the video can't keep up with the track.
A new update to fix these errors please apple. -
Can anyone PLEASE help me!!? I didn't realize that would be my title so, bear with me hear and read the title!!^^
The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. What happens when you do that?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
