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 .

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.

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.

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.

How to revert back to 7.0.1? Can't find 7.0.1 to download.

I want to revert back to iTunes 7.0.1 as the Jacket plugin doesn't work properly with 7.0.2. How can I do that? I can't find 7.0.1 to download on Apples site.
What is the procedure to revert back once I have found 7.0.1 to download?

Hi Ric,
7.0.1 is the current beta version. As Colby mentioned here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4357920#4357920 there will be another update to the Muse beta prior to 1.0 release which is for streamlining the update from beta to a subscription and won't include new features.
Best regards,
Corey

How do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999). So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them? This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
Then exit iTunes and open it up again. Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match). If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have? Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

HT203175 Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, The movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Any ideas on a cure?

Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

My iPhone4 can't sync to Itunes after I have updated the iPhone to ISO5.0. now my iPhone can't play music. whenever i go to play my music on my iPhone it just reverts back to the playlist. hopeless! ISO5.0 is as bad as Microsoft stuffs.

I have recently updated the iTunes in order to update both my iPhone and iPad to ISO5.0. unfortunately, after the updated, my iPhone is no longer playing any music. whenever i go to play music on my iPhone it just reverts back to the playlist or it keeps running through song to song. But still, no music is on.
I tried to re-sync the music library, error mesage prop up,
"The iPhone 'xfdsarw' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"
I delete the iTunes and download it again. Then, I restore my iPhone to the version before ISO 5.0. After, I do the updated again. However, the problem still exists. What should I do? Please advise. I cant believe that iPhone cannot play iTunes!!!!
How come, apple acts like Microsoft? I saw this problem had existed in the developer stages back to the past summer. Then, you guys didnt fix it before the release of ISO 5.0. Hopeless. As being a life-long apple fan, I am so disappointed! Wordless ....

My music can be played in my iMac and iPad itunes, but not my iPhone4.
i did what you have suggested to unsync the music and then re-sync again. should i try to cancel all the music in the library and then restore them again. can it work? i dont want to bet coz reloading so much music is very trouble.

Itunes folder on external drive keeps reverting back to local iTunes folder

So I have all my digital music,pictures and videos stored on an external drive. I have 3 different MBP acessing these files and itunes randomely reverts back to the default local itunes folder and then I have to change and organize all over again which includes dups that I have to manage and delete later. What a pain in the arse! Does anybody have a solution that prevents this from happening, running Lion on all 3 MBP.

They are all using the library (and by that I specifically mean the library file, not just the media files) at the same time? Maybe when one is actively using the library file it prevents the others from using it or somehow interferes and makes them think the library on the external is not usuable and they revert to the internal one.
If this is set up through some fancier nettwork then probably hte person who can answer your question will want to know the details. iTunes typically revets to default when it cannot find a library on an external drive and perhaps something is happening with the network to change the identity of the drive in the way your computer perceives it.

I recently upgraded my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
