You should read about an app before installing it. There's a lot of info around so you should check before updating. Learn the lesson.
Except that the new iTunes updated automatically. I got a Mac system update and I clicked OK. When it was done, poof, it upgraded iTunes automatically without my consent.
Look at my ID Picture and there is your answer:)
Clue:Time Machine
No active on the laptop… ; ) thanks
Mea Culpa

Well, iTunes is listed as a System Update/part in App Store Updates, so it can be hard to spot..!
I tried to restore via Time Machine and was given the following message:
“iTunes” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
I tried to install the old version but it doesn't let you roll back. This is a sick joke they way they have removed iTunesDJ functionalty for visitors.
I HATE the new itunes---the stupid drop down box to switch between music and podcasts is a pain. Once I get to my podcasts I can't sort them and they're all upside down---it doesn't show the series titles etc. Everything is stupid and anoying.
however, you can get back to the old version even after you install the stupid new one. I got an error message when I tried to run the old version. In order to get it to work, you have to go into your itunes folder and delete the file "iTunes library.ltl" You'll have to re-import all of your music, but deleting the file is the only way to go back to the old version---happy to re-import all my files as long as I don't have to use the new version.
If you try to install 10.7 over version 11 it won't let you do that.
I thought I could simply open up Time Machine and restore the previous version from there, but got a message saying that iTunes couldn't be modified or deleted because it is required by OS X. I was frustrated... lol
I finally figured out that I had to restart my laptop, hold the Cmd + R buttons and from there was able to do a restore from Time Machine. I have 10.7 back and everything is cool again. I didn't have to reimport all of my music, etc.
Thanks so much for all the help, I hope my findings can help you guys if you should find iTunes 11 to be not so great.
go to settings and there is a button that will revert to last version and settings.
yes you cant isntall 10.7 because 11 will cancel the download and if you retry in
downloads manager it will still cancel.
There is an easier way.
1. Just in the Programs folder to change the access rights for iTunes.app for all to read and write.
2. Then remove iTunes.app and run the installation version 10.7
3. Restore Music / iTunes Library

And the fast foward doesn't work with podcasts. Before itunes 11, you could click on the diagonal and move it and go to a specific part of a podcast. Doesn't work now. Tried with NPR Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and John Hendrickson Dead Podcast. Neither work with iTunes 11. Worked fine before.
Glad I tried this on a computer that doesn't matter first, not upgrading on our main iTune library machine now until this is fixed.
