I'm trying to install the latest version of iTunes but I still have the older version but I'm unable to uninstall it. I couldn't update it either. What do I do?

What computer OS are you using? What happens when you try and uninstall it, since you say it doesn't work?

Hello there, ytnoj.
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes can be a tricky endeavor and must be done in a very specific way. The following Knowledge Base article provides the step-by-step of the process:

Went to upgrade and says OS too old. I went back to older version of foxfire. Now I have a circle with a line through it and when I try to open it I get,You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture.

Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Use the free Revo Uninstaller(download from link beow) to completely remove Bonjour and iTunes first

Is there any way I can get back an older version of Pages, the Version 5.0 is useless to me

I feel really dumb as I do not have a backup of the older versions and I thought, that Apple might only add some bug fixes or style changes to the new versions, but the way it functions right now makes it useless to me... No I would like to know If I can get back the older version somehow.
Thanks in advance

You can have the iWork '09 apps be the default but still have the new apps installed. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

Itunes can I revert back to old version

Don't like the new itunes can I revert back to old version.

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.

Hi bluefleetwood, the options on this site are Mozilla's current support options for Firefox.
Try the addons site again in case it was a temporary problem, or if it's an SSL certificate problem, please indicate what the page says about the certificate.
You have a serif font for most of your Firefox UI. Can you let us know what font that is? Most likely it was selected in your Windows display settings (right-click Desktop, then Properties) and appears on many of your applications. It appears to be the same one for Menu text and Message Box text.

How to get rid of new version itunes and go back to older version

I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW VERSION OF ITUNES
HOW DO I GET RID OF OT AND GO BACK TO OLDER VERSION

You can get closer to the old look with ctrl-b to turn on the menu bar and ctrl-s to turn on the sidebar, then select Artists from the selection of views across the top.
If you still want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the installer from here, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. 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.

Uninstall itunes 11 and go back to 10.7

Hi, wanted to uninstall itunes 11 to itunes 10.7 because I cannot stand the new layout, how do I go about that safely? I have not put any new songs on it since it has been updated so thats not an issue. please help, I hate it.Mac book pro 13 inch. 10.7.4

If these instructions don't make sense to you then don't bother trying it. Read them before doing anything and make sure you back up. This forum is users only; you can't go to apple and complain about it if you mess something up.
Don't credit me for this, I got the help today from Rustyintegrale and Drew Reece. I'm just putting it in one place.
1. Go to Music > iTunes > Previous iTunes Libraries and look for the most recently dated file ending with ".itl " (see photo).   Copy that file on to your desktop. You will need this later.
2. You need the itunes disk image. Go to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4555356?start=945&tstart=60
the second to last post by Rustyintegrale is a direct download of 10.7    He deserves the credit for this fix.
3. You need to download and install Pacifist. Go to   http://www.charlessoft.com and dowload the disk image.   Install it in to your applications folder.
4.Open the 10.7 disk image and drag the "Install itunes" image in to your desktop. Eject the disk image.
5. Quit iTunes. Open Pacifist and drop the "install itunes" image on to the Pacifist icon in your dock.
6. In the window that opens up select the top line "Content of install itunes" and select Install up in the top left hand corner. The installation will begin. When a dialogue box opens up select replace and check the box to not ask again. If another dialogue box opens up, do the same thing.
7. Once finished, close Pacifist. From finder go to Music folder > iTunes folder
Delete the .xml file
Delete the .itl file
Drag the .itl file you saved to your desktop earlier in to the iTunes folder (the folder you are currently in). Edit it's name so that it just reads "iTunes Library.itl"   This step is replacing your library data from before the upgrade to 11.
8. Go to disk Utility and repair permissions then re-boot your mac. Open itunes    Job done.

Can I uninstall an update and go back to older the version ?

hi i have a macbook pro intel and i am using Mac osx 10.5.8, now i have a apple wireless keyboard, recently i just installed the "alluminium keyboard update 2" after which my keypad has stopped responding, i request is some one can offer a help ..... i just want to uninstall this update and go back to the older version .....

Hi,
One simple way would be to completely uninstall your keyboard drivers, updated that they are, and reinstall from scratch, then deny the unwanted updates the right to install.
Another way is to get details about the culprit by using Terminal and typing the following commands:
grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update_list.txt
(This will get you a list of software updates you've installed on you Mac, in text format, directly on your Desktop)
Then:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/swupd/html/xxx-xxxx/
(Where "xxx-xxxx" stands for the actual update number you want to delete)
You'll have to reboot your Mac, and hope that the rollback that will ensue will take place without a glitch. You may find your keyboard unresponsive at first, time for the system to fetch the old driver back from it was stored.

ITunes 7.6 has bugs... can't go back to older versions w/o losing info

This is getting sad...
update to iTunes 7.6 and encounter constant freezing...making the program useless and an extreme hassle and waste of time.
I uninstall and reinstall 7.5. Guess what, yep...can't do it.
Well, I could... if I felt like recreating my entire library. Lame. 7.6 modified my library file so older versions can't recognize it.
I have three choices now... 1) spend 8 hrs in iTunes 7.6 doing what I could do in 15 mins with iTunes 7.5.... 2) spend 8 hours recreating my library file using 7.5.... 3) wait days, weeks, months until Apple fixes problems.
erie how Apple is slowly turning into Microsfot.

I had a similar disaster on my hands after upgrading. Found that all the links to my tracks were lost as were all the playlists and modifications I had made. Just like others, I had spent endless hours modifying songs and creating playlists. Following Apples recommendations to import my songs again was not a solution I could accept. I searched all over for a solution on Apple's site but nothing addressed it specifically.
However, I did piece together a solution that worked perfectly for me. I backup my data regularly and was able to go to my most recent backup folder and grabbed the library.xml and 2 library.itl files from \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Once I replaced the existing files with these backup files I was able to find everything just as it was and should be.
Hope this works as well for you, I feel your pain...
