Can we revert back to 10.7?

OS X 10.8 is a disappointment because its so slow.  Upon installing all my email ... my email ... is being stored on an Apple server.  My 10.7 setup didn't allow that to happen because I prefer privacy .. What I create, what I choose to keep  is mine ... How do I revert back to 10.7 because when I turned off "save on server" I lost what could no t be lost before?

Great..... the help is erase my harddrive and start over.  Years ago my kids switched to Macs because of having to erase their Windows harddrives and start over.  Not a great choice.
I am ticked off because of loosing some information and the fix is to loose the rest of it.
Who's brain **** was it to take my information off my computer in the first place?  I purposely select keep on my computer so this problem would never happen.  Now because of an "upgrade" I have lost control of my information and the fix is loose the rest of it....  Who's the dummy ... me for "upgrading" or Apple for not letting us know they were going to take our information off our computers as if a master virus.

  • I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs.  It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • Ever since the most recent firefox update, every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it?

    Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).

    You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
    Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
    I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem.

  • My Adobe Creative Suite 6 (I guess student edition) expired HELP! Can I revert back to CS5??

    Can I revert back to CS5?? (I have a comic deadline to make.)
    I know 5 is registered here on the site. It was a digital copy. I looked at my old laptop. (3 years old or so.) and noticed 5 on there. I can still use it. Some how my CS6 just up and quit working. Which I thought was funny considering I bought it the same way I bought my CS5. I am working on two comic series of my own that are going to be published as E-books and physical books and need some advice.
    I am left without Illustrator to use and I was right in the middle of working on all my character concept art to get trademarked.
    ( I can't afford the 357 upgrade to "re-open:" CS6 so I am left without anything to work on. All of my Illustrator files are also JPEG so i can view them all, but I was in the middle of new artwork when my CS6 decided to become a trial and I got locked out once the "Trial Period" ended.
    I am a legally blind Cartoonist and Comic Artist and these series are my first real big projects that are getting published. I really don't want to have this process stopped for any longer than it has been. It's been almost a month since I was able to draw. (I can draw on paper, but with my eyesight Adobe Creative suite is perfect for me and causes less strain on my eyes.) It's my preferred platform to work on as far as drawing.
    Hope somebody can help.
    (I just got married so I am low on funds at the moment. This project is my baby and I do not want to leave it unattended to for so long.)

    STEP 1:
    FOUND MY PROBLEM (or half of it.)
    I went into my computer and then program files.
    I found that EVERY SINGLE TIME I click any of the Adobe Applications that say (64 Bit) they give me that error message I showed you in an above post.
    STEP 2:
    I clicked Adobe in program files.
    STEP 3:
    I can SUCCESSFULLY open any of my Adobe Apps that are not (64 bit)
    It turns out all of my desktop shortcuts of my adobe apps were all coincidentally 64 bit ones that don't work.
    SO- in conclusion I think I have partly solved my problem.
    I replaced all of my app shortcuts with the normal program files and NOT the 64 bit ones. BUT- I am worried....aren't the 64 bit versions of ANY apps you buy important?
    I do feel worried since my WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL is a 64 bit OS. This would effect my programs correct?
    Feel free to use my story to help you solve other customers' stories. I would like my problem looked into, but I am only half as stressed now.

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

    How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
    If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
    Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?

  • How can i revert back to an earlier version of Firefox? I have had nothing but slow, slow loading eversince I upgraded to4.01.1. I hate this version of Firefox. I hate the toolbar, it's a horrible colour and I can hardly read it.

    Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
    I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
    Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
    Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

  • How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

    How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

    I was able to switch out my HD to a previous drive with Snow Leopoard and FCPX 10.0.2. Final Cut Pro is working again like magic! I don't think it has anything to do with Lion. I already miss some of it's features. I am once again scrolling backwards. Within 5 minutes of using FCP 10.0.2 I already notice huge improvements of speed and lack of beach ball. I can honestly say that 10.0.3 is a completely unsuable application unless you have the patience to wait 15-30 seconds between the pushing of any button on the keyboard or the slightest movement of the mouse, well trackpad. Either way FCPX 10.0.3 is a dissappointment on so many levels. I am even giving up my solid state drive to revert back to the awesomeness of FCP 10.0.2.
    Really looking forward to the improvements on FCPX but feel that Apple should be releasing the software as Beta and offering it free for those who want to help develop and make it better.

    All we can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • How can I revert back to version 5.1 from 6.1. Bluetooth support told me that version 6.1 is not supported. I highly doubt it. My voice recognition reconizes " Call my wife command".

    I just bought a new car. Hyundia Hybrid. My bluetooth is not Reconizing my command to call a contact. I've been back to the dealer and no luck. When speaking to Bluetooth support directly he doesn't see Version 6.1. and suggested going back to Version 5.1 which is documented to be compatable with my Iphone 4s.
    I doubt it because  voice recognition takes the command " Call  Wife" Can I revert back to 5.1 without clearing my phone back to origional settings?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch.  I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind.  Can I revert back

    I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch.  I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind.  Can I revert back to the "Archive" of my 10.4.11 System from the "Previous Systems" folder?  If not, what's the point of creating the "archive"?

    Did you select "Preserve User Settings"?
    Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
    You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
    Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

    BTW, it is never recommended to do a major OS change without having a full, bootable backup.

  • OSX Lion, It is slow and really lumpy/jerky Can I revert back to Snow leopard?

    Where are Apple?
    Had OSXLion for a week and it is nothing like as fast as the last OS, screen changes are really slow and jerky and the whole thing feels slower. Is there anything that I can do, or can I revert back to Snow Leopard?
    This is a real shame never had this type of issue with Apple before.

    This is a user to user forum.  You can only revert to Snow Leopard through your backup.  You might attempt piecemeal data recovery after backing up your Lion system, and copying your e-mail folders to IMAP if they weren't stored there before.  Spotlight frequently needs to finish updating in the menu in the upper right (it will only have a search field if it is done, and say it is indexing if it is not), or some plugins may need upgrading to be Lion compatible before you upgrade to Lion.  See my FAQs*:
