Reverting back to old i tunes library

somehow i changed my itunes library but want to restore the old one with all the previous playlists etc, is this possible?

thx for yr reply, sorry i thought that i could have elaborated a bit after i posted it.
my gf removed my external hd and when i opened itunes again it gave me an option to locate or create album. when i tried to locate it didnt seem to want to open from the old location, so stupidly i tried to create from new location and now my library is empty. the hd i have plugged isnt used for time machine back up either, is it still possible to retrieve the old library?

Trying to put my old i tunes library on new computer - says cannot locate files

Hi
I have just installed i tunes onto my new computer, I followed the steps on line to transfer my old i tunes library onto my new computer (it was backed up on external hard drive). Now all the songs are showing, but when I click on them it brings up an exclamation mark and says it cannot locate the file.
Can someone please help me - I am a complete novice when it comes to technology.
Many Thanks

Hi
I have managed to find a previous library on another external hard drive and managed to add folders to i tunes. It hasn't put all of the songs I had on previously on there, but it is all of the ones that I no longer have the cds for now. All of the other songs I have got cd's for so can just redo them.
I am assuming now that all the songs are back in i tunes this will be my most up to date i tunes library now. Once I have got my additional songs on would you recommend backing up the new library to an external drive again.
Thanks for your help, I have never had this problem before, it seems that whenever there is a new version of i tunes more problems arise!

I no longer have the PC that had my CD library and purchased music on iTunes. I am now on another PC and managed to download my purchased iTunes music etc. Is there a way on iTunes that I can get back my old CD music library without ripping again ?

Earlier back up is corrupted. Thank you in advance. No longer have my old iPod but getting new one.

If you had the hard drive from the original machine, a backup of the same, an iPod with the media, or a subscription to iTunes Match then there would have been hope, but alas no.

Try putting the files back where they were before you moved them, then follow the steps in this Apple document -> iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

Help in backing up my i tunes library

I am trying to back up my i tunes library and im running into a problem. I go to file and select back up to disc. I then select the back up entire i tunes library and playlists. I then insert a blank DVD-RW disc. The disc is 4.7gb and my library is 3.58gb. I then click back up. I tunes then says checking items for back up. when the check is complete i get a box that says items in this back up will not fit on one disc and do I want to backup to multiple discs. I have two options, data discs and cancel. When I select data discs it says burning discs...initializing then my disc pops out and I am prompted to insert a blank disc. When I re insert the disc I get checking for media and the disc pops out again and i tunes says it is checking media. I went to Edit, Preferences and Advanced. Under Burning I selected Speed Max Possible and Data CD or DVD and clicked O.K. I go through the steps again and have the same result. Any suggestions on how to back up my library would be greatly appreciated. I lost my library once and dont want it to happen again. Thank You.

I did it one simply by selecting my library, and clicking on the burn button. iTunes will ask for CDs (or DVDs) when the first one is full if your library is larger than the media you used.
For your flash drive the best would be to simply drag the iTunes library to it, that is, if it can fit in teh flash drive enterely (which mean you may not have a large library).

Revert back to Old status if ticket results in error..

Go to transaction CRM_DNO_MONITOR. Select a ticket for display. Let the status of the selected ticket be NEW. Now input all information in standard and screen Enhancement(By EEWB) input fields. Now make an action 'assign' After saving the status will change to Assign. But at the same time there is a screen validation dependant on the status change from New to assign. According to that the validation happens in PBO event of the Screen enhancement where we are getting Old as well as new status. Here it is found that remarks in long text is to be entered while this perticular status change is happening. but the same is not done. So there is a error message that 'you have not entered remarks general'.
   When the error occurs the status should change back from assign to New. Since user may go out of ticket without saving Or the error pop up will throw you out of ticket. When the user again opens the same ticket, the status of the ticket is Assign. So there should be a BADI or open routine available after before the update to database happens for the new status. Also this enhancement should happen after Screen Enhancement(By EEWB)'s PBO event. So validation of screen enhancement can be carried out.
   In short please provide enhancement or routine or function module which can revert back to old status.

Change Outlook Calendar background color but its reverts back to old on restart

Dear Support,
I am trying to change Outlook Calendar background color but its reverts back to old on restart

Hi,
Let's take Outlook 2013 for example, go to FILE tab ->
Options -> Calendar -> Display options
-> Select the Default calendar color and the checkbox for
Use this color on all calendar ->
OK.
In case the Navigation Pane is corrupted, we may try starting Outlook with the switch "/resetnavpane":
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /resetnavpane” in the blank box, then press Enter.
I hope this helps.

Old Illustrator file, revised to new, saved to pdf, reverting back to old Illustrator file

After making a new Illustrator file from an old one, then saving it as a pdf, the new Illustrator file reverts back to old one. I have been using the pdf to make the Illustrator file again (luckily I've saved it as editable) but I don't always want to add this extra procedure. Does anyone have this issue or any clues on how this happens and how to fix the problem?

when you made your changes and then saved as, you saved your changes to a new file. your original file closes without saving and the open file in illustrator is the new one (in your case the PDF).
evertime you save as you are making a new file without affecting the old file.
you should first save your changes and then save as. but after the save as, the opened file will no longer be the original file.
if you do a Save As Copy. then you will be saving a new file which will be closed and your original file will remain open.

Reverting back to old layout - role comparsion RSUSR050

Hi Folks,
We have upgraded to ECC 6.0 and BW BI 7.0 . The SUIM transaction for role
comparison (program RSUSR050) has a new layout . compares the objects
in downward display rather than the old 2 column display. Is there a way to
revert back to old display layout ? - much easier to compare .

Hi Dan,
if you have still an old system, you could take the old coding (also the includes SR050E10 and SR050F10) and copy it to a z-report of your own to get the old look again.
Nevertheless it is planned to deliver an improved design for the resultlist to make the comparison easier. But........ it is not clear until now, how long the realization will take.....

How do I re-download music I have purchased on i-tunes back on my i-tunes library?

Hi
Unfortunately, there is no way to re-download purchased music, like you can with Apps.
However, dependant upon how much music you are talking about, you could contact the iTunes Store Support team, to see if they can help you

Office 2013 contacts reverting back to old entries

Windows 7, Outlook 2013
I am logged into Outlook but updating my boss's contacts, which I have access to (his mail, contacts, calendar, etc.) which is a separate email/login from mine. I am trying to do a mass update of his contacts. When I enter new information into previously
blank fields and save, sometimes it saves and sometimes it doesn't. I keep re-copying and saving until it all saves.
Then today I come in, and all the updates I did yesterday are not there, the entries have reverted back to an old entry, hence fields like address which had an address are now blank.
We have 5 computers and 3 cell phones hooked up to my boss's outlook/contacts account.
Our IT co's response was they've never heard of this problem and will have to do trial and error.
My computer (and phone) have been newly added to my boss's contacts/outlook login as of 2 weeks ago, and there was never a problem with the other 4 computers and 2 phones before me. However for the past 2 weeks, Outlook has been doing
things like this, with both Contacts and Calendars (however Calendar seems to be stable now.)
I asked IT if possibly one of the devices was set as a master, so that when I update my computer, it's reverting back to the master entry, but IT's response was Exchange doesn't work like that. I unfortunately know very little about Exchange or networking.
I just
unchecked “Check for duplicates when saving new contacts” under Options/People, due to an article on Outlook 2010, but unsure if that has fixed the problem.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to fix this? Thank you.

This is not normal behavior. When you sync with exchange there isn't a master, it uses the last update date to determine which is correct. It also creates 'conflict' copies if it's not sure which one is correct. It doesn't sound like its creating conflict
copies though.
What cellphones are you using? How do you sync - over the air, with 3rd party software etc. The problem might be with one of the phones or software, if using sync software.
Does it happen if you use safe mode? if so, an addin may be at fault.
Disabling the duplicate checker might help - but if so, you'll end up with duplicates.
