Q: I want to revert to a previous version of my iTunes library. What are the steps for that?

Don't know where data about my mac comes from, but I am on Yosemite 10.10.something.

When I try to enter TM, I navigate to the external drive I use for TM backups, the option to select that drive grays out. How do I restore ANYTHING if I can't get to the drive with all my backups on it?

How the **** do I get into TM? What is the Big Secret? I am not able to navigate squat in TM. And I can only access stuff from TM by going into the drive  where all the TM backups are. Why is this? I don't see any other instructions for getting into TM.

I know I am not gifted when it comes to this sort of tech, but gdi all, I DO know a little something and this is one truly screwed up system to be this complicated.

Thanks again for your help, but once again what you say is simply not happening in reality here.

I don't know how I got there, but I got to a point where I could RESTORE iTunes from an early January saved file. But the missing files are still not there. More and more convinced it ain't me.

All I could access/select was the circular iTunes icon. I clicked restore and nothing changed. Missing songs still missing. Has no one seriously ever tried to recover a previous version of an iTunes library before? Not knocking your assistance, but why isn't there something official from Apple posted anywhere in the universe??? This is frustrating.
