'Upgrading' from iTunes 7 to iTunes 6.0.5

For those of you who hate the new iTunes, here's how to 'upgrade' to iTunes 6.0.5...
First, go to <your home folder>/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries/
and copy the most recent file (i.e. the one with the most recent date on) to your Desktop.
Now, go to <your hard drive>/Library/Recipts/
and trash iTunesX.pkg
Now you can download and install 6.0.5 again.
Next, rename the previous Library file "iTunes Library" and move it to <your home folder>/Music/iTunes/
And go back to the good interface design we are all used to...
Hope this helps.

I had so many problems with iTunes 7 that I decided to go back to iTunes 6.0.5. Basically, iTunes 7 crashed when importing cd's and played files as if they where scratched.
But now I'm having trouble installing the 6.0.5 version. First, I trashed everything that I found on the spotlight related to the word "itunes", including application, libraries (new and old ones), documents, folders, playlists...everything. I didn't even care if I deleted my music files (in fact I did it).
Then I downloaded the 6.0.5 but when I run the installation it appears "there's nothing to install" and "a newer version is installed on this computer".
So it seems as though I'm still missing something to trash. Can you help me? It's as if I still have iTunes 7 installed!

After upgrading from ITunes6 on ITunes 7 my videos doesn´t work

after upgrading from ITunes6 on ITunes 7 my videos doesn´t work. there are no error messages, popups or ballons. songs are no problem, only the videos?!
Can somebody help me?
Thanks
Cross

hmmmm. let's try checking to see if they will still play in your current version of QuickTime.
in itunes, right-click on one of the videos that is causing the grief, and select "Show in Windows Explorer".
right click the icon of the file in the Explorer window that comes up and select "Open With ...", and try to open it with your QuickTime player. does it play there or do you get funny business with that too?

Permission Errors: Mtn Lion upgrade from SL iphoto, iTunes, etc; want to save myself and reinstall, Permission Errors: Mtn Lion upgrade from SL iphoto, iTunes, etc; want to save myself and reinstall

Well here I am again, once again lots of problems with t he upgrade to ML from SL on my late 2009 iMac.
Background: I took my perfectly fine functioning iMac into the Apple Store to have the Seagate HD replaced pert the recall. BIG MISTAKE. The Geniuses gave me a "complimentary" upgrade to ML without asking if that was okay, and three months later, I still do not have a functioning iMac.
My iMac since this reintallation has been unable to open ANY iphoto files/photos saved whie I was still running SL--pretty much everything I've saved as a jpeg for the last six years, so I'm not willing to let this go so easily. Not only have I got work-related files on here that I need, all of my children's and family photos are saved on there. I need those files.
After trying to no avail to reinstall SL from disk, the Apple Tech from Apple Care said that I've got hardware problems (fans wont' stop running; SL disk cannot be read by either Super Drive--the one inside the iMac or the external portable Super Drive, hence reinstallation of SL has not been possible), so I'm supposed to take it BACK into the Apple Store and let them work on it again. Please understand that for the last three months I have been dealing with nonstop issues that have created a real mess of my life and nothing gets fixed, no matter how many phone calls I make. I do not think any of this is hardware-related, honestly. I've found numerous threads on the fan running constantly with the installation of ML; and no, I'm not even running any CPU-instensive programs. And nothing explains why when the SL disk (a second copy of which was mailed to me) cannot be opened (the progress wheel just keeps spinning and spinning).
Well, I've decided that I'm probably going to have to give up on this, and that my previously working iMac that should have had more life in it is destined for the landfill (or recycling). All I want now is to get my data off of it and be able to use it with my external hard drive with another Mac (MBA now running Lion--although it's also got lots of problems) and a new Windows machines which I will mostly likely be buying this week. I can no longer live with the interruptions to my life--I work with my computers, need my data, and this has been going for three months.
I read a bunch of really complicated information on how to get my old data off of my Mac and/or external hard drive, and I've accepted that this is going to take a LOT of time, but I do't have a choice if I want my data.
I'm now looking at the contents of my external hard drive, and looking specifically at one of the user accounts (one that I use for work purposes) and I see that I am not allowed to view the contents of the "Pictures" because I do not have permission. This has been an ongoing issue while using the MBA to TRY to view/access data from the iMac. Is there anyone who can help me figure out how to repair all of these permission errors?
I've lost an unbelievable amount of time with all of this and I only want MY OWN files. I'm not trying to pirate any software, I just want and need my own iPhoto images and of course, since I own the music in my iTunes library, I think I ought to have permission to take this data off of this external hard drive and put it onto another external hard drive that I will buy tomorrow, so that I can reinstall onto another machine (ie, probably a new WIndows computer).
To paraphrase:
Upgrade to ML made most of my files saved on my iMac with SL obsolete or not viewable or accessbile. I NEED these files (mostly jpegs, iTunes music, some pages docs, etc, but I'll live without those docs if need be).
I have the last backup that was done before taking the iMac in to have the hard drive replaced. I can see that the data is there, but in one of the user accounts, the one I use mostly for work related purposes, the error message that tells me I cannot view the files because I do not have permission comes up. I've never had any other admins of my computers, either the iMac or the MBA that I am trying to use to open the files on the external hard drive. How would I repair the permissions on a backup of my old SL system from a MBA running Lion?
Anyone? Please help. I'm going to lose a whole heck of a lot of data and money if I cannot get these saved files back.

Upgrade from very old itune version to new

Wanted to put in new songs and says i need new version. questions:
1. How do i make sure i don't lose everything (did this once in the past which is why i haven't upgraded in 24 months.
2. Do i have a choice in versions or do i automatically need to go to 7.5.
thanks-

But do I then have to keep the XSKey in my laptop when running Logic 9 or is it just for the install?
i.e. can I then reinsert the XSKey in my old Pro Tools computer and run Logic 6.4.3 after I've installed Logic 9.x on my laptop?
You shouldn't have to use your XS Key to run 9, only to install it. You should be able to do what you want to do.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Try rebooting it and connect. Make sure you're connected directly to a USB port using the Apple USB cable.

I recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, but now all songs purchased from iTunes will not play via my phone. Any idea how to fix this problem?

I upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, after a few initial problems and two restores, everythings seemed to be working...until I went to play some music, all music loaded to itunes via CD's played, but ALL purchased music from itunes does not play...i click on the song and the screen flashes to the image then goes back to the list of songs, so the purchased music shows up...just does not play. Can anyone help resolve this problem? Thanks!

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

Help! I recently upgraded from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and now my iTunes won't open!

So I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. And at first, never received the option to like, carry stuff over from a back up. So I went to the Apple Store and they fixed that, and it looked like everything was fine and dandy and my content was there. I get home, and try to open iTunes and now am receiving this message: The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?
I click yes, but there are no updates/downloads of iTunes available, so nothing happens, it just says no updates at this time. I am very nervous about losing my library as I've collected a lot of songs and meticulously organized them over the past five years. How can I get iTunes to open? And without doing anything to lose my library? Please help, I'm super stressed and freaking out.

Download iTunes from Apple's web site and install it. Don't use Software Update.

How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8?

How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8? Unable to find a download? I need to get to the point of ITunes 10.6.8 so I can then upgrade to ITunes 10.7 so that i can sync with my iphone 5.
Am i on the right path or do i need to upgrade my software which is OS X version 10.5.8?
Any help is appeciated.

All these programs levels are a little confusing ..... you currently are on OS X 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8, so you can download iTunes 7.
You'll need to call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE, and buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, from the legacy products list. You'll use the DVD they send to install the new operating system, then run Software Update several times until there are no more updates. At that point, you'll be at 10.6.8 and can download iTunes 7.
PS. Be sure and have a system backup before upgrading your operating system.

ITunes 6.0.3.5 Upgrade from 6.0.2 Sucessful!!!

If you have iTunes 6.02 working now upgrading to iTunes 6.03.5 is easy!! Just download "iTunesSetup.exe" from Apple.com and install it "ON TOP" over just "OVERWRITE" the old installation (meaning DON'T uninstall the old version of iTunes and QuickTime Player 7.04.) No problems opening iTunes afterwards. Good job Apple software engineers!! That was a good and fast fix!!
I am not sure if a clean uninstall and re-install of iTunes is needed now for everyone. How is everyone else getting along with upgrading to iTunes 6.03?

PS- There is a "extra" folder in "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information" with only 1 file in it (instead of 2- "setup.inx" & "Setup.ilg.") Just "Setup.ilg" is in this old "{501BADCD-F8F7-44CB-AC3F-6ED25C1A28B5}" folder from the iTunes 6.02 setup. Maybe we can remove this one?

The iTunes 6.0.3.5 Upgrade from a "clean" installation of iTunes 6.0.2 above (on a clean install of WIndows XP Pro SP2 itself with no previous Apple softeware before this iTunes 6.0.2 and QuickTime Player 7.04 were EVER installed) left a file called "NewShortcut4_8C3BCD70236347B8A53EEE8A82FD5C78.exe" in "C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{501BADCD-F8F7-44CB-AC3F-6ED25C1A28B5}" besides the other file "Setup.ilg" left from iTunes 6.0.2 setup.

I've had Itunes since the original ipod came out, I have upgraded to the new version, and upgraded my Ipod to and Ipod Touch, but I can't get the music I already purchased from the old Itunes to play/sync in my new itunes or ipod. How do I fix this?

I have the new version of Itunes and have upgraded from 1st gen. Ipod to 4th gen. Ipod touch, I am unable to sync all my music from my old Itunes to my new Ipod, also when I try to play the music on the computer through Itunes it says it needs to be authorized but keeps using my Old email account (which I don't have anymore) for me to authorize, is there a way to fix/ change this so I don't have to buy that music over again?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Is upgrading from iTunes 7.7.1.11 to 8.2.1 safe?

I need to upgrade from iTunes 7.7.1.11 to the newest version of 8.2.1.6, using Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7. As is the case with many posters, the upgrade tool available through iTunes does not work (this is why I've missed a few upgrades in between). But now I own an iTouch and I want to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes.
Since the upgrade tool on iTunes doesn't work, I have gone to the Apple iTunes Download page at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and clicked the download button. When I get the prompt to save the iTunesSetup Installer, I realize that I already have the iTunes Installer on my computer (from back in May of 2007). Thus, I don't know whether I should run the Installer that I already have on my computer (from 2007) or replace it with the new Installer via the download prompt.
I'm trying to be very careful here, because iTunes has already crashed on me twice this year, corrupting my library files and forcing me to do all-day recoveries, so I want to make sure I'm proceeding in the safest way possible. I'm especially worried that iTunes may not work, because I've missed some upgrades between versions 7.7.1.11 and 8.2.1.6.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

FYI: It looks as though I was able to update my iTunes from version 7.7.1.11 to the new 9.0. I did it from the Apple download page and I clicked the Run button instead of the Save button. Now, do I get points for answering my own question?

ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Jim's posting set me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to Jim's posting, I had already read the article that Jim referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to Jim's posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.
