Mac Rollback App Update

Click next to the app that you want to delete, then click Delete to confirm. The app is deleted immediately. Apps that don't show either didn't come from the App Store or are required by your Mac. To delete an app that didn't come from the App Store, use the Finder instead. If so, just run such an app and follow the prompts to uninstall properly. After that, search for related files to make sure if the app and its additional files are fully deleted from your Mac. Automatically uninstall Apple AirPort Extreme Update with MacRemover (recommended).

Mac OS:

Navigate to Applications > Adobe Lightroom > Uninstall Adobe Lightroom and double-click the 'Uninstall Adobe Lightroom' executable:

Windows:

In the Start menu select Settings.
In Settings, select System > Apps & features.
Select the Adobe Lightroom, and then select Uninstall.
Follow the directions on the screen.

Note:

Alternatively, if you are using Lightroom CC 2015, you can uninstall using the Creative Cloud desktop app following these instructions: Uninstall or remove Creative Cloud apps

Download and install Lightroom 2015.0/6.0 using the application installer.

Note:

Note: The installer on this page works for both the perpetual version of Lightroom 6 as well as the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom CC 2015.

Download and install the specific prior update/patch you want to roll back to (e.g. CC 2015.5.1/6.5.1) from here.

Note:

If you receive a message that says 'This update is not applicable to you', you’ve missed step 2. The base 2015.0/6.0 release must be installed before attempting to install the update/patch.

How to reset iTunes on macOS

Sometimes to go forward you need to go back. iTunes is one of the most popular apps in the world, and Apple has made some great strides over the years. There is no denying that iTunes is the media hub for many, but sometimes a new version arrives that is broken, or introduces a feature that you don’t like, or removes a feature that you did like.

That’s why in this guide we’re going to show you how to take full control over your version of iTunes. We’ll cover how to reinstall iTunes, clean up iTunes junk files, perform a complete uninstall of iTunes and possibly even downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes.

Are you ready? Let’s get started!

Reinstall iTunes

A healthy iTunes is a great experience but if the app starts behaving strangely then it’s time to take action. If iTunes keeps playing Britney Spears music for no reason, your Mac is probably demonically possessed. Unfortunately, you will have to set fire to your Mac. It’s the only way.

However, if you iTunes is merely crashing or freezing then a simple iTunes reinstall should solve the problem. You could first try to download the latest version of iTunes and run the installer.

Even if it’s the same version as you have installed, this will reinstall iTunes without any hassles.

If that doesn’t fix the problem, you should completely uninstall iTunes before you run the downloaded install.

Completely Uninstall iTunes

Whether you want a more effective reinstall of iTunes or if you want to remove the app from your life for good, we’ve got you covered. You may have realized that Apple doesn’t make it easy for you to uninstall iTunes, so it requires a few extra steps.

Note – A complete uninstall iTunes app will remove your user settings, playlists, etc.

To completely uninstall iTunes follow these steps:

Drag the desktop iTunes icon to the trash - if you receive an error continue to step 2, if you don’t skip to step 6
Right-click the iTunes.app file in the Applications folder and click Get Info
Click the padlock icon and enter your Admin Password
Expand Sharing & Permissions and set 'everyone' to Read & Write
Close the window and try step 1 again
Empty the Trash
Type Activity Monitor into Spotlight and launch the app
Find iTunes Helper and remove it
Navigate to Library > Preferences and remove files with 'com.apple.itunes' at the beginning
Restart your Mac

Clean iTunes Junk

Speaking of cleaning iTunes, if you use the app – even if it runs perfectly - you should try out CleanMyMac’s specialist iTunes Junk cleaner. You wouldn’t believe all the wasted space iTunes takes up thanks to broken downloads, copies of apps, old backups, and all sorts of other junk.

A quick scan from CleanMyMac and you’ll be given the option to clear up a lot of space – space that can be used for more important things.

No, not Britney Spears albums.

Downgrade iTunes to an earlier version

There comes a time where a new version of iTunes makes us wish we never updated in the first place. We want to be clear that the best thing to do is give the new version time, see if there isn’t a workaround to solve

whatever it is that’s bothering you and submit feedback to Apple.

If you’re impatient and you want to roll back iTunes now, then there is a method that could achieve exactly that. This solution will only be possible if you use Time Machine to create regular backups.

Important Note – Before you begin make sure to create a Time Machine backup. If anything goes wrong, you can just restore to the current version of macOS.

Here's how to downgrade iTunes:

Type Activity Monitor into Spotlight and launch the app
Find iTunes Helper and remove it
Type Terminal into Spotlight and launch app
Type sudo rm –r /Applications/iTunes.app and press Return
Type Time Machine into Spotlight and launch the app
Restore the version of iTunes you want from the relevant Time Machine backup
Also, restore these files from the ~/Music/iTunes folder:
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml

iTunes should now be reverted to an old version, with all your settings and data intact.
