Absolutely right, iTunes 11 is a pile of sh....!

I managed to reinstall 10.7 by uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling 10.7 but not without problems. First with the help of Apple Support and a link to download it I got version 11 back on. Than I did it again using the download of 10.7 from the Apple site, and it worked. BUT, iTune wouldn't run but tell me that iTunes Library.itl was in a newer version than my iTunes 10.7. I remowed the file and started iTunes. The program than "reloaded" my library. Now I've got back my old, fine iTunes. Only my self created playlists and my ranking are gone. And I have to reboot my iPhone to get iTunes to recognise it again.

Hi everyone!

I'm disgusted about iTunes 11 as well. I want my former version back. How can that be done? I don't have any music on iTunes, only audiobooks and the playlists have turned into a state of shamble with the update. All my covers have vanished and the discs are not shown anymore, instead of that there's a list of the single tracks. This I absolutely don't want because it is inoperable! I'm really angry as the information on the update didn't say anything about the change to the worse. I would really be grateful if someone could tell me how to restore the former version.

I wish Apple would ask if you want to upgrade like Micro Soft. I lost all my notes from outlook and have no way to get them back on my phone............. Also it dupplicated every calender appointment onmy computer calender, now I have no notes from my computer so I will have to carry my Laptop along with my Iphone as I rely on them for 80% of my info.


Apple bring back the features and settings of Itunes 10.??? and get rid of 11.0. I never should have bought an Apple computer or phone......thats all I can say at this point
