remove itunes 12

How do I downgrade/revert to iTunes 11 from 12. I am, fortunately, running OS 10.8.5 (Mavericks and Yosemite just suck)

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Use AppZapper or AppDelete to remove. Then download and install iTunes 11.

Hello, I need help.


I followed the directions above and successfully removed itunes 12 and replaced it with itunes 11. However when i open the library it is empty. I restarted the computer and I used my backup to replace the library, then when I went to reopen itunes i used the option>right click>select library>music>itunes and it still remained empty.


Any tips how to reload my old library back into itunes 11?


Thank you in advance

How can you find and download a previous version of Apple Software ... in this case iTunes.

I have just found over time that every new version of Apples software from iTunes, iPhoto

and iMovie in particular removes really useful functionality or make things much more

difficult to use.


I like to listen to podcasts, and I thought I was critical of iTunes podcast, but the new

version does not have a way to look at every podcast in its own screen and configure it,

it is all jammed together in one podcast page that is really hard to crack deciopher and

use.


Plus when I sync my podcasts to my iPhone I have to make sure to do it several times

or the podcasts do not all load. Then when I am done listening to them on my iPhone

they don't go away ... the whole app is an illogical, cluttered up mess that gets worse ...

how is that possible?
