Trying to reinstall older itunes

After upgrading to 9 my computer was hardly responding. So i uninstalled and then my cd-rom drive was not recognized. I ran the microsoft kb314060 and got the drive back. Now I just want to put the old software back in and use it as it did what i needed from it. BUT it will not run. The error message says something like files needed are missing reinstall software. I have done this 2 or 3 times with no good results.

Maybe there are remnants and an incomplete uninstall left over.

Trying to reinstall older CSPremium on Mac OS 10.5.6 - installer states "serial

Trying to reinstall older CSPremium on Mac 10.5.6 that was originally on this computer. After entering the serial #, installer states "# entered indicates upgrading a previously purchased version of Photoshop" There is no other Photoshop on this computer, and it won't let me continue with the install. Help please!

your serial number is for an upgrade version. you need to prove you have a qualifying upgrade product.
after you enter your upgrade serial number and the installer failing to find a previous version, you should be given the option to choose the previous version and enter its (the older version's) serial number.
if that's not working, what version are you trying to install and why didn't the above work?

How do I change the authorized computer to sync to my iPad? Lost all my data and am trying to reinstall my iTunes libraries.

How do I change the authorized computer to sync to my iPad? I lost all of my data when my PC crashed and am trying to reinstall my iTunes libraries in the same PC that has been reformatted to its original factory state.

If you followed the instructions in the link that Diavonex referred you to, that should have transferred all of the iPad content into your iTunes library. I have no idea what to mean by the iPad sees another PC. Where? How do you know that? How are your determining that the iPad sees another PC? iTunes does the "seeing" - not the iPad.
Then you say "if I share" - do you mean if you use Home Sharing? The iPad and computer do not have to be connected in order for Home Sharing to work. The devices must be on the same WiFi network. You cannot transfer music from the computer to the iPad using Home Sharing.
I still don't understand what you are saying,

My ipod touch gen 5 is disabled and wont sync, i tried to reinstall the itunes (yes, the latest version) but still itunes doesnt recognized my device. help

Did you place the iPod in recovery mode? That is required for a disabled iPod
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I'm trying to reinstall my Itunes, but I keep getting a error message stating that itunemsi can't be found

I was trying to sync my Ipod and kept getting a error message saying that I could'nt because the file could not be found. so I went to Itunes Support And was instructed to reinstall Itunes, and I followed the installation instructions. Well then I got another error message saying Itunesmsi can not be found. So if anyone knows where I would find the installation Package no my computer.
Thanks

Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

How do I save my iTunes library and reinstall older iTunes?

Hello:
Please see my prior posting at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3875333#3875333
To recap; I have a Dell Dimension 8300 and am operating with Windows XP. I bought my daughter a new iPod Nano for Chistmas, and when we plugged it in, it required us to upgrade to the latest iTunes software. Her old iPod and old iTunes worked fine on this computer. Since upgrading to the new iTunes, it won't let us download new CDs into iTunes, and now it won't even recognize her iPod. iTunes locks up, and my entire computer locks up. I can't get out with Task Manager any more, I can't even turn off my computer. I actually have to unplug it to reset it. I found a website where I can download older versions of iTunes (http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm) but I can't install an older version with the more current version on my computer (it gives me error messages with this info.) (I want to work backwards to maybe find a version of iTunes that will work with the Nano, but not cause all of the problems that I am having.) How do I get rid of the new version of iTunes, so that I can install an older version of iTunes (which worked just fine for years with the old iPod) without losing all of the music I have downloaded into iTunes?
I'm about to go nuts with this thing. How can Apple say that "they do not support iTunes?" The iPod requires iTunes to even be useable! Without iTunes, you can't even put music on the iPod! Have you noticed that most people having problems have upgraded to the new version of iTunes, and are running on Windows XP?
Thank you in advance for any info you are able to provide!
I will be most grateful when someone finally discovers the "Silver Bullet" for this darned thing, or when Apple finally steps up and fixes the mess they have.

Just an update; Please see my prior postings at:

My daughter plugged in her iPod last night just to recharge it. iTunes locked up, my entire computer locked up. I had to disconnect the power to get it to turn off, and now my entire computer remains locked up. I cannot get ANY application to open. I am having to post this from my computer at work, as my home computer is completely unusable at this time. Thanks iPod and iTunes. I'm really glad that I upgraded to the iPod Nano.

Empty packages when I try to reinstall older Itunes version

Hello.
I just updated Itunes to 7.3, only to realize that it doesn't work with OS X 10.4. As updating my system doesn't work (long history), I need an older version of Itunes.
But when I get them, either from Oldapps or here (6.0.5), and proced to install, I get an empty package, 0 bytes, in the installer. Is this related to having a newer version previously installed? Any ideas?
Thanks.
Powerbook G4 1GHZ Mac OS X (10.4)

Care to let us know which specific version of 10.4 you are using?
iTunes 7.3 requires 10.3.9 or later.
If you want to use iTunes 7.3 with the iPhone, you will need 10.4.10.

Want to reinstall older iTunes version

Hi,
I've been having problems with streaming radio stations (Virgin Radio Groove, for one) since I upgraded to iTunes 7.5. How do I uninstall this version and return to the previous version. Would appreciate also an answer to the same question for Quicktime 7.3. I've not been able to access newscasts nor youtube since I uploaded this QT version. And yes, I did repair disk permissions as was suggested in another thread.
Both problems occur whether I'm using Safari or Firefox. Thanks in advance for any responses.

To downgrade - D/L what version you want at - http://www.oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php
Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the iTunesX.pkg to the trash.
Close iTunes and drag your iTunes app to the trash. B/U your iTunes Library and .xml files. B/U your iTS purchases.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility - install iTunes - repair permissions again.
Open iTunes - if all is well you can empty the trash.

Older itune version 10.6 trying to reinstall, library problem?

I reinstalled older itune version 10.6 on Win7 after I reformatted the drive.
1. Now i have a library problem? the itunes will not open and i get a message "itunes library.itl" is from newer pgm. how can i work around it?
2. i want to restore my itunes music library like it was before with the old libray i had from my backup, how can i do that?

your serial number is for an upgrade version. you need to prove you have a qualifying upgrade product.
after you enter your upgrade serial number and the installer failing to find a previous version, you should be given the option to choose the previous version and enter its (the older version's) serial number.

Help! I can't update itunes because I deleted quicktime then tried to reinstall quicktime but there are components that won't be uninstalled

Ok. So a while ago quicktime got deleted (but only partially) which won't allow me to reinstall it to fix it. The error with quicktime affected my itunes which I can no longer open. I tried to reinstall everything but I get an error because 1) the older version of bonjour cannot be removed and 2) an older version of quicktime cannot be removed which then says that itunes can not be installed without quick time. But I also cannot delete everything to reinstall. Because when I try to delete either Bonjour or quicktime I get this message: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable!
I have performed a search on my hard drive to find all quicktime files to try to delete but it won't let me delete the last three files and gives me this message when I attempt to delete: Cannot delete file. Cannot read from the source file or disk. And the other two only allow me the option to open containing folder, copy or extract....
I also made changes on the registry according to someone else' instructions to see if that would solve the problem, restarted the computer but that didn't help either.
Nothing has allowed me to reinstall itunes back onto my computer and without itunes, I can not sync my iphone and get updated! I am using Windows XP by the way
This is driving me crazy!
Thanks for any help in advance,
Tiffany

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

TS3212 im trying to reinstall but will not allow, due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly,i have tried several times, but will not allow me to install, i have used itunes for years but now cant use it, can you help

i have tried to reinstall itunes because it is saying i cant use my itunes due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly, please reinstall, i have tried several times but still not allowing me to use, ive never had this problem before in all the years i have used itunes, i have gone through all the troubleshooting but still no access, can you help

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

HT1349 I tried to install an itunes update yesterday on my Dell Laptop. I kept getting an error message. Now it says I need to reinstall itunes on my computer. Will I lose all of my music and how do I go about doing this?

I tried to install an itunes update yesterday on my Dell Laptop. I kept getting an error message. Now I cannot access itunes and it says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose all of my music?

Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you

Hello, I was trying to upgrade my iTunes for windows 7 PC, but because of invalid signature error I removed iTunes as well as all apple related applications. While reinstalling it , When I click link to install iTunes it immediately says '' thank you for downloading iTunes'' but I don't find it in my system.
I have tried all suggested option to solve it but all in vain. Please help me to get rid of this problem

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
