Buy new computer with Yosemite and downgrade to Mountain Lion?

Is it possible to buy a new machine with Yosemite and instead somehow downgrade/revert to Mountain Lion?  There's a program I like to use that is no longer updated by the developer and isn't terribly stable on the latest two releases of OS X...

No, except by running it inside a program such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.

  • How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

  • How to set up bundle on new computer with SSD and 2 TB harddrive?

    I bought a new computer with a 120 GB SSD and a 2TB datadrive. I have 16 GB RAM and am runnung windows 7 home edition (64-bit operating system). I just have my OS on the SSD which now only has 75.2 GB free. I searched on line and tweaked the SSD to get the most space. From what I've read many suggest putting all your programs on the SSD (which I think will fill up very fast) and just using the Datadrive for pictures, files etc. I'm thinking that maybe some should be loaded on the datadrive and maybe the one that need it could be put on the C: SSD. I have no idea!! Looking for advice. I bought the Production Premium bundle. Thanks for any help!

    Addendum: I tried all of the suggestions on the Firefox web site, but they do not match the options available on 16. There is not "Manage Account" option that I can find on 16.

  • Buying new computer, tranferring iTunes and music files

    I plan to buy a new computer in the very near future.
    If I download iTunes and then log into it with my user name, will all my library and art work be there? Or do I have to do something else to take all this information from my old computer to my new computer?

    *If I download iTunes and then log into it with my user name, will all my library and art work be there?*
    No, nothing will be there.
    You need to install iTunes onto the new computer, then copy the _iTunes folder_ (My Documents/My music/iTunes) from your old computer to the new computer.

  • Can I bring my old mails with me when downgrading from Mountain Lion?

    Recently upgraded my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion which I hate. Battery life has been more than halved, even with the 10.8.2 update, the computer runs extremely slow now and it keeps dropping wifi connections.
    So I called Apple and ordered a Snow leopard installation disk and I have now backed up everything in my "user" folder (which is pretty much everything).
    One question remains before formatting the hard drive and installing a clean SL:
    How do I make my old emails in Apple Mail survive the operation?
    Thanks, 

    No.

  • Connection Problems with iMAP and Mail in Mountain Lion

    Hi everybody,
    since the Update on Mountain Lion I am having the following problem:
    When my iMac wakes up after some time, Mail isn't working anymore by showing the triangle with the exclamation mark. By clicking on it it shows the following picture (sorry for being in german). What you see is, that the internet connection works fine but Mail says it cannot connect to the iCloud iMAP Server. I should check if iCloud supports SSL and if it does not, deactivate it...
    After closing Mail an reopening it again, everything works fine until the next episode of waking up...
    Any hints??
    Thanks!!
    Stefan

    If you do, I highly recommend wiping the harddrive and doing a clean
    install. An upgrade install, especially from two versions back is going
    to be nothing short of a crapshoot.
    Deactivate any software before doing so.

  • Palm Treo 755p -- bought new computer with Vista and downloaded Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 -- now the sync does not work, asks for drivers

    Hello...
    I am new to the Palm (~1mo.) but I was using hotsync with my old laptop which had Windows XP and was not experiencing any real problems.  That computer is going bye-bye, I bought an HP with the Vista OS and I followed the directions on downloading the Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 from the website but now I can not get my device to sync-- The Desktop computer asks for the appropriate drivers.  I tried searching online, on the disk that came with the smartphone and even reinstalling a couple times and everything is dead in the water...
    Anyone able to help me out on this?
    Is there an additional patch of some sort to download?
    Post relates to: Palm m515

    Just in case it is not clear...  that post was made after I bought the bluetooth adapter and tried following the advice provided in the Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! post.  Again-- my statement of not working is for the following reasons:
    1) my PC tells me that the sychronization completed with errors.
    2) when I look at the log that the Backup sychronization aborted.
    3) It almost invariably tells me that it Failed to backup 1 file(s) and that file is "NetworkProfiles2" through a "Protocol Error: Unknown error. (6410)"
    4) many of my contacts (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
    5) many of my appointments (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
    The information about creating a virtual serial port on my PC comes from my actual palm itself.  The palm info is in the HotSynch verbage and it tells me to contact my computer manufacturer.  In doing so however they have no idea how to do this and Palm does not either.  I am still working with HP on trying to resolve that part of it but I am thinking from the hours of research that Palm wants me to create another COM port but again the help I am finding on this is beyond my pay grade so to speak...  you can check out the following link and try to help me if you like:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885792.aspx
    So... any ideas my friend?  It appears that some Vista 64-bit users are having success with a bluetooth synch but I have tried emailing those that claim to have been able to do this with no luck.  I am not having any luck (I hope my outline above is clearer)-- and no one has seemed to had any luck recently.
    I would love to make this work-- I bought this phone for this functionality.

  • I have a new iMac with Yosemite and iPhoto won't launch.

    I get an error message that something is wrong with the app.  I uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't work.  Any suggestions?

    I spoke with Apple Support because I had done all the updates but found even after using Migration Assistant, my photo library had not moved over.  If you used this tool, you might want to go into manual mode and move your library over with a click and drag from one computer to the other.  Also found that my music and documents didn't move over either.  Not sure what Migration Assistant did for 15 hours.  I used an ethernet connection.  There are faster ways if you have the right cables.

  • New setup with Yosemite and CC 2014 Speedgrade

    Sg will not open for me at all.  I was able to use it before when running Mavericks and before the latest update to CC 2014.  I was thinking it had something to do with my Yosemite installation, but after doing a fresh install of everything it still will not open.  Am I the only one having this problem?

    Having both AMD + nVidia in my Mac Pro has work wonders. I have two DVi monitors connected to the nVidia card and single monitor connected to the display port on the AMD card.  When I received my Mac Pro I had the option to add two AMD cards which requires more power than the Quadro card and the AMD put together.  I'm using a splitter for power. 
    I have been able to get working. (for how long is the question) I only ran the nVidia card and BAM, Sg worked.  I then only ran the AMD card and BAM, Sg worked.  I then added both cards back and BAM everything is now working.  I'm at a lost.....  The weird thing is I can't view any .MXF file when going directly to Sg, but I can if I us dynamic link from Premiere.  I can though import .mp4's in Sg and can view them with no problems.

    Hi Ned.. thanks taking the time to reply.. but, unfortunately, I got the same error message.  BTW, I found it interesting that my serial number did NOT work in the downloaded version, so I selected the trial, which resulted in the same error message:  Your installation encountered errors, Please try restarting your system and installing again.  Inconsistency in the installer database.  Please restart your computer and install again.  I am open to other trouble-shooting ideas!

  • I want new computer with mountain lion already installed.

    I want to buy new MacBook air with Mountain Lion already installed.  Currently not available at store and can't be guaranteed on line.  How long should I wait?

    Welcome to the Support Communities. It's unlikely that anyone here knows how long it will be until Macs with Mountain Lion installed appear in the stores near you. If you prefer not to wait, consider buying a MacBook Air now and upgrade to Mountain Lion for free — see under "Qualifying purchases on or after July 26, 2012" here:

    Thanks for any advice!!!

    Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine.  OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
    Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
    you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.
