can i get the old version of iTunes back without deleting everytying?

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

Don't be rude. We are users just like you. Apple is not replying to you.

Good. Glad to hear you are switching to Droid then they can put up with your rudeness instead of us.

I agree with the sentiment here. iTunes 11 is awful. I will be downgrading, but thanks for reminding me that I need to - re-import the library. Pity there was not simply an "old mode" switch in the new version.

This guy is downgrading! enough said

Try this, it's easy

The work around is not adequate. I'm so depressed by iTunes 11. I'm only writing in hopes that someone at Apple, or the ghost of Steve Jobs, reads it. Apple's stock, of which I own some, is dropping. Maps suck, the new iTunes *****... It's all just too depressing. I too would like to compare easily what is in my library with other offerings in the iTunes store, but alas I cannot. Another way that Apple is losing money. If the next piece of software is this lame, I'm selling my stock.

Tried that, it stopped at tones, looking to make my own ring tones for iPhone 3GS, what a pain in the *** so far, can't figure it out...

Who ever said dont be rude I guess must be an apple fanboy. Tell me why I have to buy iphone 5 to finally get 4g a technology that has been out for 2 to 3 years. I am sick of apple and their overpriced items I dont know if you dont see all it is is software. I really like the apps for games but my Galaxy 2 screen is almost bigger than my wifes iphone. I am sorry they need to catch up with the times and leave itunes alone. The new version is harder to use and harder to figure out what they did. He has the right to be rude to apple, they are a company that doesnt care about their buyers because they know that people will line up to buy their ipad mini when you can buy a full size Ipad for 70 dollars more. My wife just bought the ipad 4 and they didnt make that many changes to justify it just like they did with the 4s yet fanboys went beserk. I think we ought to show them that unless they make the next iphone with a larger screen and the next ipad a little cheaper then we wont buy it.

I have all the components in my computer to match an IMAC yet need to buy their 2200$ computer to have their software legally. Its all about money of course I get that but make something for a better price considering it is software leading not the components. An alienware laptop runs less money than a stupid macbook that is wrong. I hope apple reads this but they will have their fans that will line the streets for bad products. They are behind in technology compared to android and pc. The ipad mini should have been priced like everyone else at 199 not 329 but again fanboys lined the streets for it.

Oh yeh all that to say the new itunes is horrible is the nice way to put it. With the new format I want the old one too. To the guy that apologized you shouldnt have to for wanting a decent interface considering the money that you shell out for their product. The guy now running apple said we dont have to change anything because the public will still buy it because it is apple. No apple is not replying on this because they know they dont have to fix anything to get it sold.

I agree, leave itunes alone, can't even make ringtones anymore that I can figure out anyway for my iPhone 3GS, ***
