This new iTunes *****... What is the best way to revert iTunes?

Hey guys you cant change more that one artist at a time, you can't expand the song list into a vertical list... Any thoughts?

You can still select multiple tracks or multiple albums and use Get Info to adjust them all.
Not sure what you mean by "you can't expand the song list into a vertical list..."
To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the installer from here, uninstall iTunes. Probably best to also remove other suppporting software, e.g. Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support & Bonjour. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    Is/was failing or has failed?
    If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

  • HT1386 My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes.  Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

    My iPhone 4S will not sync with the music I have selected in iTunes.  Has anyone else had this issue and what is the best way to fix it.

    Hi,
    Setting up syncing
    Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true: 
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    Hope this helps

    Nick,
    You will need a Windows PC with iTunes running and a working copy of Windows Media Player available on the machine.  (iTunes calls WMP for the conversion from WMA).  Then just drag the WMA file(s) into the iTunes Music window.
    iTunes will detect it and give you the dialog shown below, to which you choose "Convert."  iTunes will create a new version in the format/bitrate set in your Import preferences (MP3 in my example below), and immediately add it to your iTunes library.
    The WMA original will be left in place, so you can delete it if you have no other need for it.

  • What is the "best" way to configure iTunes on an iMac with personal user acounts so each user can access the media library but sync devices on their personal user account?

    I am trying to determine the best way to set up our imac so each user account can access the same media (songs, movies etc.) through itunes and also back up and manage their personal devices under their own personal user account.  There are 4 users on our iMac.  Me, my wife, and our 2 children.  We have built an extensive library of music/media together using the same iTunes store account.  I would like to establish a seperate apple id and iTunes store account for each of us going forward but have the ability for each of us to share our purchases.  What is the best way to configure our system and devices in order to allow shared access to media and at the same time allow for individual management of devices including contacts, apps, photos, etc. Please help, I would like to do this once!
    Thank you in advance! 

    OK, seeing as no-one replied (presumably because a lot of this information is on the forums in bits elsewhere) here's how I've got on so far.
    Applications - just went through them.  About the only one I needed was my media server app.  Just downloaded and re-installed, had a quick look back though my email to find the license key and it all went on fine.  Installation never seemed quite right on my old machine so solved that problem too. 
    Movies - New iMovies just copied across the clips and projects into their respective folders.  Seems to have worked but haven't checked it all that thoroughly.  Some duplicate footage here but I can trim this out at some point when I get a chance to go through here. 
    Documents - Just copied these across. 
    Photos - used an app called iPhoto Library Manager.  You can download for free but have to pay to use the part that consolidates your libraries.  Possibly if I was willing to spend a bit more time I could have got away without using this but given I didn't know the state of my different libraries and just how many duplicates I had this was too much of a convenience to ignore.  Also got my library into a state where I can now spend a few hours organising it a bit better with Faces / Events etc. 
    Not attempted Music or iPhone sync yet as been stuck trying to solve a problem with my power adapter. 

  • What is the best way to move iTunes library to a different hard drive?

    I have a MacBook Pro and recently removed my optical drive and replaced it with an internal hard drive so that I can have more storage. My iTunes library is on the original hard drive. I am getting close to running out of space on the original hard drive and would like to move my library to the new internal hard drive. What is the best way to do this? Thanks.
    -gigascott

    A re-iteration of what I posted earlier... If you let iTunes manage your music for you then copy the whole iTunes folder and everything it contains to the other drive.  Hold down the option key at the same time as starting iTunes. It will present you with a window, one of the options being to open a different iTunes library.  Navigate to the iTunes folder on the other drive and let it open the library.itl file in the folder there.  In all likelihood it should open it with no problem and you will not see any difference between when you had it on your first internal drive.  If you get info on a track and look at summary you will see it is now referencing media on the other drive.
    Message was edited by: Limnos to reflect using second internal drive.

  • What is the best way to backup iTunes on external HD

    Hello there
    I wish to backup my iTunes on an external HD. I'm aware that I should move the iTunes folder in its entirety over to the external HD so everything remains the same.
    However, when I have new iTunes added in my library in my MacBook, what is the best way to add and backup those new iTunes in the external drive? Can I just do a drag and drop for those new iTunes files into the iTunes folder in the external HD?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Yes, if you don't want to clone the whole drive, you can pick and choose the files. If there is stuff already on the external drive, just be sure to deselect the button that tells CCC to remove any files not on the source drive. In other words, you want CCC to simply add more files to the external or update the ones that have changed. You do not want it to remove any.
    CCC is a free download by the way. SuperDuper is a free download but the free version does not allow incremental backups, only a full complete backup which means losing what is already on the backup drive.

  • What's the best way to transfer iTunes from my mac to my android

    I have tried everything and researched until I am exhausted. I tried android file transfer. My device cannot be recognized by my mac. I tried Kies and cannot figure out how to install it on my phone although I have it on my Mac. I transferred music via google play and it messed up my library and din't transfer playlists. What's the best way? How can I get my Mac to recognize my device and please don't day change USB stings as I cannot find anything resembling that.

  • What is the best way to get iTunes running on my Windows 7 64 bit system without installing it on my Windows 7 64 bit system?

    I had iTunes installed on XP before upgrading my system and with all the install and uninstall issues I don't want to go through the same thing with Windows 7.
    So, I'm looking for a way to get iTunes running on my system without installing it (like maybe in a Virtual OS on VirtualBox or VMWare.)
    Something that I can easily restore and/or repair (Windows 7 Restore Points/backup options are not viable because they restore EVERYTHING to the state they were in when they were created.)
    TYIA
    Any suggestions will help as to the best way of doing this.

    LOL Yeah, right, that's very funny...
    I did that on XP so I know better now!
    Here is just 1 example of many:
    On XP the uninstall wouldn't work so I coudn't upgrade iTunes.  In order to fix this without Re-Installing XP, I had to delete iTunes and then manually remove it from the registry and from Add/Remove programs before I could Install the new version.  Eventualy it did work after 1 and a half days of repairs...
    I'm not going through the same type of problems on Windows 7 that just simply waste my time!

  • What is the Best Way to Transfer iTunes to Another Computer?

    Hi everyone!
    Okay, I was wondering what the best way is to transfer an iTunes library. I have my current iTunes library on Windows XP on a PC and I wish to move the entire thing to my new, Windows Vista Laptop. The iTunes version on the PC is 7.6 (I do not wish to update if at all possible)and I have not downloaded iTunes 8 to the Laptop, which has no idea what an iPod or iTunes is.
    You guys have always helped me in the past, so I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance!

    Awww, com'on you guys. It's been 4 or 5 days, and no one has gotten back to me...
    Can anyone give me a link that has any info? Thanks again.

  • What is the best way to setup iTunes with my current configuration?

    I currently have an iPhone 5 and a new iPad. My wife has the iPhone 4S. I do all the syncs (even my wifes) on the same Windows 7 machine. She has a different apple ID than I do and I share one apple ID accross my iPhone and iPad.
    I have a Windows Home Server 2011 box that stores all my photos and music files. I am able to connect to the box from the Windows 7 machine without issue. I have several media diretories. One of the directories contains all my iTunes music and another seperate directory contains all my photos.
    Here is the question. If I want to sync my iPhone 5 and my new iPad so that I download all the music files and photos how should I setup iTunes? How should I sync my wifes iPhone so she gets all the Photos and music files? One of my chief concern is being able to automatically sync apps and  "new" photos taken from either phone back to my file server photo directory.

    Migration Assistant is the best way to get everything.

  • What is the best way to upgrade iTunes?

    I'm currently running iTunes 8.0.2.20 to work with my iPod Touch 2G and Nano 4G. All is working quite well so I'm rather hesitant about upgrading. But more and more content is requiring an upgrade to the latest iTunes version. If I decide to take the leap, what is the best route for upgrading, ensuring that my music is not lost and that I can revert back to my current version if something goes wrong? I know to backup my library. I try to do that regularly. Should I uninstall my current version and all other Apple associated programs, download new version and install OR do the upgrade from within my current version of iTunes?
    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It is a good idea to back up the library files, iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml before upgrading. It shouldn't be necessary but your never know... You may be glad of it if you want to downgrade.
    If you want easy downgrading, save the last iTunes set up file if you have it, maybe rename it iTunesseteup8.exe so it isn't overwritten by the new installer.
    It is safest not to upgrade from in iTunes.
    Download the installer from the Apple site and save it on your PC, then run it from you PC.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    The installer takes care of any uninstalling that is needed.
