    Downgrading from iTunes 9 to itunes 8

    Hi,

    Recently I have installed iTunes 9, I am not able to SSH into my phone via putty or iPhone tunnel suite. Now go back to iTunes 8. I've lost my music before and I'm trying not to risk doing that again.

    Try app cleaner that is freeware, that finds all these small files and safely deletes them. Also make sure to cancel out your itunes helper by going to system preferences/accounts/start up items and uncheck itunes 9 helper and then reinstall itunes 8.

    Itunes cannot be responsible for ssh not working. To Downgrade iTunes 9 to itunes 8, Drag itunes9, trash along with the associated files in your iTunes preferences of the user preferences folder in the personal library folder. Then drag the library file to the trash, but you lose all your playlists, with the game, and ratings. Then reinstall Itunes8, then open and re-import the music.
