How can I roll back the latest iTunes update? They really should give more information upfront before asking to download and install.

Yes, I mirror your dismay, and found the SURPRISING change MORE than merely annoying. Some Marketing IDGITS apparently decided to consider this functionality 'feature creep,' and removed it -- without providing at least a comparable full-capability management system for the removed features.

Personally, I deeply appreciated the ability to manage all my content for all my devices from ONE application. (Including the Apps, Audiobooks, Ringtones, Contacts, etc. for which they've now removed support.) And to do so with the ability to easily see all that content listed, to pick-and-choose which content I wanted downloaded, which I wanted updated, under what circumstances. Not to mention perform a FULL iPhone backup and restore with relative simplicity.

(1) There are some alternative (far less efficient) approaches helpfully outlined by others for doing what you need on the device(s) themselves, posted in other, later threads on this forum. (2) See Deploy apps in a business environment with iTunes - Apple Support for access to iTunes 12.6.3 (at least for now ...) if you want to revert to a build that Apple supplied that still has the app management features. (3) If you'd like to complain to Apple where they will actually see it, do so here and fill out the feedback form.

Just had same wish and restored my 'C:' drive in full to yesterday and installed an older version I found on the net. Need to delete .itl files first, use *.itl in Windows search box. Turned off iTunes update in settings right away. If you Google search there is an easier way that shows up as first hit on search "roll back iTunes update" . Site is chron.com. . Good luck, agreed Apple should provide change list that details what features will be crippled or removed. If it works don't fix it.

If you have Time Machine, you can restore back to a time

before you did the update. Otherwise you're pretty much

stuck. Uninstalling and re-installing and older version on a Mac

is very tricky and often can be unsuccessful.

Once you update you cant go back. I called tech support and now iTunes is tied to the mac os. I tried reloading from time machine and itunes stayed with the update stating it cant be changed because the mac os requires itunes. They effectively made it impossible to go backwards.

iTunes is tied to the mac os now. You cant go backwards. I tried everything and called tech support who confirmed you are stuck with the update.
