A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message.

Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Get iTunes 10.7 from or the direct download link at: ĭo a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files. If the above does not work, or you want to do it without Pacifist, or you want to know what is actually going on when downgrading, or you encounter error messages, here's more details: Here is a document I have in my archives but I haven't reviewed it in ages so I don't know if it is accurate: It isn't as easy as using Appzapper and re-installing.
