On first launch iTunes 12.6.5.3 Windows 7, I decided to go through all preferences just to make sure it will not automatically syncing my iPod to blank state, then I close iTunes. I proceeded to install that version on Windows 7 successfully, then reboot. I then uninstalled "iTunes 12.10.11.2" (up to date as of Mar 2022) as well as other relates plugin such as iCloud, iPod Service, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour and any others "Apple related service" in the hope that I will start fresh again.Īfter that, I download iTunes "12.6.5.3" directly from Apple server (not from 3rd party hosting file).
