This is not encouraging information. Are you sure the restore point you used was in fact prior to updating to 12.1? My understanding of this process was it rolled one's system back to a point prior to the installation which in this case should have brought you back to iTunes 12.0126 or whatever the initial version 12 was.

Later that evening I had some unrelated problems and had to do a restore, the newest install of iTunes 12.1 was gone but my 12.0 was not there either ...

You can read the dates/time with regular cursor but the name that follows is not read unless you use the JAWS cursor. I read through some of the FAQ's on using this. If I understand correctly, say I install the most recent version of ITunes, which many are saying is not working well with JAWS. Now say I don't like it and select a restore point prior to installing it. Will the version I was currently using of iTunes be back when I restore?

It's been quite awhile since I've had to find the actual name & if my memory hasn't totally failed that's what I had to do. Take care.

I did get mine all configured and created a test point. However it asked me to name it but once created it only showed the date in the list. Where do you find the name?
