Q: Mavericks back to Snow Leopard experiences
I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (4GB RAM, 2.26 GHz, 160 HD) that is currently running Mavericks (10.9.5). I’m having some issues with iTunes (12.3.1) finding my library since I copied library files from my Time Capsule to an Ext. HD. I’ve researched and followed directions, but iTunes doesn’t want to find the library, even when I tell it to go back to looking for it on the Time Capsule
It’s been suggested that I revert back to Snow Leopard and run an earlier version of iTunes. The Apple Tech I spoke with on the phone says this is not recommended and may cause larger problems. Many people here and elsewhere explain how to revert to Snow Leopard so obviously it’s possible.
If you’ve switched from Mavericks back to Snow Leopard with a similar aged Mac what has been your experience? I’m thinking the techs at Apple might be on a short leash as far as what they can advice and that Apple doesn’t want people going backwards with software - even if it’s possible. Still, I’d like to hear the experience of others.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
