Big Problem Downgrading From Leaopard!

Greetings,
I was having big problems with iPhoto 6.06 in 10.5.1 and so decided to Archive and Install back to Tiger. After the installer finished I was asked to create a new user instead of seeing my usual log-in screen with all the users listed. After getting to the desktop I discovered that the installer had placed all the user accounts into the Previous System folder and not transfered any of the data to the new Users folder, including many apps.
What is the best way to get these now de-commisioned user accounts active again with all their settings intact?
Thanks all!

Ok, you might be able to set you computer in target mode, and use Migration Assistant to get it back. If you make a complete backup, you could mess around a bit. Maybe even drag and drop would work.
Saying that, you have made so many mistakes that I want to point a couple out. Why go backward (always dangerous)? Why not A&I Leopard, rather than Tiger? Why did you do any of this without a backup?

Problem Downgrade from Win8 x64 to Win7Pro x64 - HP Sleekbook 14 b051TU

Dear all,
I'm experiencing some problems while trying to downgrade this HP Sleekbook 14 b051TU machine from 32 bit to 64bit. It keeps showing me error message off unable to load the driver for the storage device.
What I've done:
1. I have downloaded the necessary drivers from hp website for Win7-64bit
2. I have turned off Secure Boot
3. I have enabled Legacy Support
I am able to browse the driver and load it but even after loading the driver, it still says that there's missing driver and I cannot see any disk that I can install on.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hello fishermanzan,
This article explains why HP doesn't recommend downgrading a Windows 8 machine.
Good luck!

Big problems exporting from Premiere Pro CS3

Hey all.
Would be massively grateful if anyone here could help me out. I'm in the process of trying to export a 23 and a half minute project from Premiere Pro CS3. I've tried exporting to different formats, (Quicktime, MPEG2, etc..) but keep arriving at the same conclusion. The process will freeze midway through, and I'm greeted by the following error messages:
"premiere pro debug event
premiere pro has encountered an error
[..\..\Src\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114]"
When I close that, another window pops up saying;
"export error
application failed to return a video frame.
cancelling the operation."
I'm not really sure where to go from here. Previously during the process of editing this project, I would occasionally get a message telling me that premiere pro was "running low on system memory". Fearing this to be the problem I was having while exporting, I attempted to export an extremely low quality version of the project, but arrived at the same conclusion. I also wondered if there was a corrupt frame or clip somewhere that was causing the issue, so I overlayed one whole transparent clip over the whole sequence and tried to export, but again, the same result.
I now have to put all my faith in you Adobe Wizards! Please ask me any questions that might help you to arrive at what may be causing the problem, I'll answer them the best I can
Many thanks!

FAR too small !!!
The program itself uses more than that for temporary working files
Also, unless you already have a 2nd hard drive or eSata external, you are below specification
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing
Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433 use USB externals for editing
A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used the eSata Dock below... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

Big problems stemming from Google Update Checker -- any ideas?

Hello,
My computer is having severe issues after receiving an error message involving Google Update Checker. Please let me know if you have any idea how to solve my problems!
So yesterday while working on my computer with many programs running (Finder, Safari, Firefox, X11, Matlab, Mail, Bibdesk, TexShop, Desktop Manager, RSS Menu, possibly others) I received an Error Message saying close the following:
"The Google program Google Update Checker has quit unexpectedly. A report has been made and is ready to be sent", with options to "cancel" or "send report".
At first, I clicked cancel. Between 30-60 minutes later I received the same message, I pressed cancel, then again, and I pressed "send report". I restarted, shut down then restarted, restarted again and still received the message. Long story short, I kept getting the same error message every half hour or so.
Finally I went to Applications and manually put "Google Update" in the trash, since the only google software that I explicitly know of on my computer is Google Earth and Gmail Checker, neither of which I had run recently. This turned out to be a good idea, and now Finder continually stops responding and relaunches. It does so frequently enough that I am unable to open the trash to restore the Google Update app, or a finder window at all. Additionally, using Activity Monitor it says that FInder is using 99% of my CPU.
I tried to restart it in safe mode by holding down "Shift" when booting, but OS X never booted in this circumstance.
Any help on this matter would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Patrick

BDAqua,
Thanks for setting me straight on the dual cores
I went ahead and created a new Admin account. When I logged in with that account I had zero problems and everything behaved beautifully. I checked the "login items" on this account and none were present, so I went back to my normal account and removed login items (nine total) one by one, logging out and logging back in between each try. Even with no "login items" present, the problem persisted.
I went back to Activity Monitor to check which processes were running, and saw the following:
Activity Monitor
SystemUIServer
UniversalAccess.app
loginwindow
ATSServer
pbs
mdimport
launchd
Google Update Helper
I logged back out and logged into the diagnostic account (again, no problems with Finder) and checked the Active Processes. There were the exact same processes running in that case, too.
When I opened Console, Finder was already doing its crashing routine, so here is a tiny tidbit from the Console:

Are you having problems downgrading from 5.1 crapware (1602.error in Itunes)?

Hi!
Like many ppl, I´m experiencing major problems with the last (and less successful) upgrade to ATV(2). Tried downgrading but keep getting 1602-error in Itunes.
Found this useful youtube-clip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7UCAH_Fczc
In short terms, helps you putting the ATV in DFU-mode and overrides the 1602-error.
Helped me and is now up running as before, with 5.02-firmware. And everything works like a charm. Apple is still signing earlier firmware due to fu*kup with the last one.

too bad i expect that when i pay $300 + dollars for something that i assume it will work correctly... without me having to go through so much trouble to fix a problem that shouldnt exist to begin with.

Problem downgrading from win 10 to win 7 in travelmate p253m I5

I upgraded to windows 10 but my apps wont work. So I downgraded to my previois version of window 7 preinstalled on my machine. But it asked for product key- the product key was incorrect. What the hell is windows doing?

Windows 10? Windows 10 hasn't been released to the general public yet. Are you talking about Windows 10 Technical Preview for Windows Insider computer experts?

Help! Problem downgrading from ARD Admin 3.0 to 2.2; LAN clients still 2.2.

Hi gang! This is my first post here. I work as a technician in a university computer lab with 250 machines. About 10% of these are Macs, and we manage them with Mike Bombich's NetRestore, Faronics Deep Freeze, and Apple Remote Desktop. All clients are running ARD 2.2.
I installed ARD Admin 3.0 on our office eMac to see some of the new features. Sadly, most of them will not work until you upgrade the clients to 3.0. I aso dislike how a majority of older commands from 2.2 (like UNIX commands, Lock screen, etc), are suddenly not working in 3.0. How convenient! Just upgrade your client software and presto! Not happening, yet.
So I went to uninstall the ARD Admin from my machine. Here is what I did to roll back: I have deleted anything to do with Apple Remote Desktop from the following folders:
/Applications/
/Library/Application support/Apple/
/Library/Preferences/
/Library/Receipts/
~/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Preferences/
I reinstalled the software (it said "Install" not Upgrade) and launched the freshly installed ARD 2.2 Admin. It prompted me for my serial number and then I sat waiting for over 30 seconds for the main screen to appear. Finally it spat an error message at me, then crashed: "The Remote Desktop Administrator failed to start due to an unexpected error."
I can't find this in the KBase, or perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms. What did I do wrong, and how can I fix it?
eMac 800Mhz, TiBook 700MHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) In lab: 4 x Intel iMacs, 24 x Quicksilver G4s

Remove ARD again, using the instructions here.
Then reinstall your 2.2 ARD administrator. If you have an earlier version of ARD 2 on your installation disk, make sure you update it to 2.2, either through Software Update or via the downloadable updater, before you try and launch the administration application for the first time.
Hope this helps.
Just FYI, if you try to use a 3.0 admin app with 2.2 clients, or a 2.2 admin with 3.0 clients, all that works is the VNC functions which means that other than the ability to upgrade the clients to 3.0 (where applicable), you only get Observe and Control.

Problems Printing from Epson 2400 in Lightroom 2.3

I'm in the process of switching over from a PC to a Mac. I've gotten lightroom running and transfered all my photos over. But I'm having two big problems printing from my Epson 2400.
*8.5x11 prints are offset. The top of the picture starts about an inch lower than it should, and the bottom typically gets cut off.
*Lightroom refuses to print 4x6 prints. It says it's printing, and the paper feeds in, but then the printer just spits out a blank page.
I'm using the most current version of the Epson 2400 driver that I could find on the Epson web site.
[Update] I used iPhoto 9 to print out some pictures, and they came out fine. So this seems to be a lightroom issue or a conflict between the lightroom/epson drivers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Further update. It appears that I can print perfectly from another account on the same mac. But the account on which my catalog resides doesn't work at all. Could my catalog have been corrupted when I transfered my photos and catalog over to the new mac from the pc? Is there any way that I can fix it? (I have tried optimize and relaunch; no luck.)
I could -- as a last restort -- kill the catalog and reimport all my thousands of photos, but wouldn't I loose the keywords and adjustments?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me. The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reade

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

Iphoto problems after downgrade from Yosemite to OSX 10.8.5

After a successfull downgrade from Yosemite to 10.8.5 Mountain Lion my ( 'old Yosemite' ) iPhoto backup is not compatible with iPhoto reinstall.
Is there a way to repair or fix this problem?
My patience involving the dramatic Yosemite 'upgrade' is tested to the max I need to say.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X Yosemite uses a newer iPhoto version than OS X Mountain Lion, so it is normal that you cannot use your iPhoto library in Mountain Lion again.
Maybe you will not like what I am going to tell you, but have you tried a Yosemite clean install instead of an upgrade? A lot of users have reported problems with the upgrade to Yosemite, and a clean installation fixes all these problems, because you are going to format the hard drive and install OS X Yosemite as new. I recommend you to try this.
