Older iTunes Versions Not Opening

[Gapes24]

I recently decided to install the newest version of iTunes but without knowing that in order to run it, you must have the newest Mac operating system, which I do not have.

Every time I tried to open iTunes it would tell me I needed to install the new operating system in order to use open it. Instead, I tried installing the previous version I was using from OldApps.com.

I trashed the iTunes application and proceeded to download the application. However, after doing my computer still told me I needed the new operating system.

I installed many older versions of iTunes but none of them work. Most bring up the "Loading Library" bar but after that, iTunes does not appear on the screen.

What am I doing wrong?

Try this steps and then install one of the older version from oldapps

Drag the application's icon to the Trash.

Open the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder and look for one or more preference files named "com.apple.iTunes....plist" and drag them to the Trash.

Look in /Library/ folder for an iTunes folder and if you find one drag it to the Trash.

Look in /Home/Library/ folder for an iTunes folder and drag it to the Trash.

Last, in /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder look for two files with names com.apple.nnnnnnn.plist and drag them to the Trash.


Open Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) and in the process list look for iTunesHelper. Select it, then click on Quit Process icon. Quit or Force Quit the process.
Now open the Accounts preference pane, click on Login Items tab, look for the iTunesHelper entry and select it, then click the "-" button and remove it from the list.

Empty the Trash.

This should fully remove iTunes and its associated files/folders.
