It was just two days ago when Steve Jobs announced iTunes 10 introducing Ping social networking feature and it was live after the event by some hours. But, many users are now reporting crashes (due to incompatibility with multiple Cydia apps), after updating to iTunes 10 on their Jailbroken iPhone 4. So here's a step by step guide to downgrade iTunes 10 to iTunes 9.2.1
Downgrading iTunes 10 on Mac
Step 1: Delete the following files:
- The iTunes application in /Applications
- com.apple.iTunes.plist which is located in ~/Library/Preferences (this is the library folder inside your user folder)
- iTunes.pkg which is located in /Library/Receipts (this is the library folder at the root level of your startup drive)
- iTunesX.pkg which is located in /Library/Receipts
Step 3: At last, you may need to re-create iTunes library and playlist (helpful guide)
Downgrading iTunes 10 on Windows
Step 1: Navigate to C:\My Documents\My Music. Copy the entire iTunes folder and save it on your Desktop as back up.
