iTunes 11.0.4 (62) Fails to recognize iOS devices - Fall back to previous iTunes
Sometimes Apple releases an application that has a serious flaw in it like the new iTunes 11.0.4 (62) which is not recognizing iOS devices. There are over 56,000 users who have reported this in many threads on the Apple discussion support forum.
There needs to be an easy way in the MacOS (and iOS) to fall back to the previous revision of the software. Otherwise we can't trust the automatic updater which means we can use auto-update which means when new software comes out we'll wait for months to see if problems are reported before daring to upgrade which divides the Apple ecosystem and increases support loads on Apple which costs Apple's investor's money. All bad things.
I should be able to simply REVERT to the previous version of iTunes which worked perfectly fine.
