The removal of the 'apps' tag in the new iTunes is one of the most unhelpful things Apple has ever done (and there have been many of late).. How am I now supposed to manage my iPhone and iPad effectively? It's a joke. I can no longer easily copy files such as pdf and epub books via my Mac!
1. use appzapper to delete itunes 12.7
2. from the previous libraries folder, copy over the last dated .itl file to where your current one is
3. move the current one for safe keeping somewhere else ( just in case things don`t work)
4. rename the one you copied to the location to be itunes library.itl ( or whatever the new one was )
5. Install 12.6 itunes
6. Open itunes and your`re done.
It was a major relief to revert.
You have to uncheck automatic updates in the App Store, too.
That would be fine with me as long as a way provided to manage iOS apps on my Mac.
I think all future Apple 'upgrades' need to be treated with extreme caution.

BTW, it's not just Apple.
That, of course, is the down side... I actually like iOS.
My phone on iOS11 is working fine with iTunes 12.6. I
Agreed.
Nope, no need for me to revert. 12.7 works just fine on the six Macs on which it is installed here.
Is there a way to install the old version of Itunes? I also have issues in the New Itunes 12.7 Version.
Totally in agreement.
Thank you for a reasonable post.
Nicely put. Must admit, I didn’t expect my plaintive little comment to generate this level of response! Ah well, later we shall see what happens with High Sierra!
Open Time Machine, and find the latest dated .itl file prior to your update. Delete the current one in the iTunes folder, and copy the earlier one over. Worked for me.
FWIW, the released version of High Sierra doesn't cram
iTunes 12.7 down your throat, at least on an upgrade.
My iTunes is still at 12.6.2.
Anyone else reverting to the previous version of iTunes? 12.7 is a disaster.
