MacOS – Downgrade to iTunes with App Store support

high sierraitunesmacos

I was trying to downgrade my iTunes to an earlier version so I can access my App Wishlist and copy it and then upgrade to the latest.

I came across a webpage that suggested navigating to the Applications folder via terminal and deleting the iTunes app via sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/ however many files didn't get deleted and this left me unable to open iTunes anymore and I can't install an earlier version since the install thinks I have a newer version.

Is there a way to fix my iTunes (at least get the newest version fixed/to work again) instead of maybe reseting macOS?

I ended up downloading the official iTunes installer from Apple and reinstalling it. Since it's the newest version, I didn't get any errors saying that I have a newer version. Works as before now.
