How to go back to old Pages (09)?

I clicked to download Numbers 2013 today (it's free now, why not?) and for some reason I was also upgraded from Pages '09 to '13! I had previously been using Pages 09 and specifically DID NOT want to upgrade to the new version. I realize the old version stays in a folder in the applications folder but no matter what I do it will not show in Launchpad (only the new version does) and I would really just like to go back to before the "upgrade." But I have tried to delete '13 and place '09 in its place and also tried to do it via Time Machine which gives me an error that "applications cannot be modified or deleted because they are needed by OSX" or something like that. Anyway, how do I do this? Can I somehow just copy the backup I select to overwrite my current data? How would I do that? I have tried to find this answer but everyone always stops at the fact that '09 wasn't deleted which isn't good enough for me. I want my computer back exactly the way it was an hour ago! Thanks for any help. Oh, and I do backup to an external 1TB drive via USB 3.0 so copying the data won't be a terrible long chore.

I tried trashing the new Pages, even using AppCleaner, and put the old one back in its place but it would not show up in Launchpad. Now that may not be a huge deal on the surface since I can drag it to the dock from the app folder and set up associations manually, but it tells me that I have incompletely deleted the new Pages and that the old one is not in the same state as it was originally. Also, I could not officially reinstall the new one (even if I wanted to) using app store since it still thought it was installed. I had clearly messed things up not terribly, but enough to really annoy me and maybe cause trouble down the line.
Anyway, I did end up doing a complete restore from recovery mode. It seemed the only way and it worked. New Pages, gone, old Pages, back. Thank you Time Machine!
FYI: I am CERTAIN I did not push the button to upgrade Pages, but only to install the new Numbers (I did not previously own it). Maybe the new Numbers needs the new Pages or something and it triggers the Pages upgrade as well. In any case, beware the Numbers install routine if you want to hang on to Pages '09. Thanks.

  • How to switch back to old depreciation calc method during upgrade to ECC6.0

    Hi Everyone,
    We are doing a technical upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 and we have activated the enterprise extension EA-FIN via SWF5 (switch framework) to use the functionality of accrual engine, closing cockpit etc. However, activating EA-FIN has activated the new depreciation calculation method (Period based depreciation calculation) which, we do not want. We still want to continue using old depreciation method (transaction based depreciation calculation).
    So, is there a customization that turns off the new depreciation calculation? Or an OSS note? I read in SDN Wiki and it said, one has to post a customer message (OSS) to SAP and they in turn provide the notes to switch back to old depreciation method and also it is mentioned that these notes are not available in service market place. Is that how it is? Had anyone got into this issue before? Please help me in this regard.
    Thanks in advance,
    K

    You already found your answer on the Wiki:
    I read in SDN Wiki and it said, one has to post a customer message (OSS) to SAP and they in turn provide the notes to switch back to old depreciation method and also it is mentioned that these notes are not available in service market place.
    What is not clear about that?

  • How to go back to previous page

    I have two JSP pages first.jsp and second.jsp the user starts at first.jsp and clicks the submit button which then takes the user to second.jsp where the users information is saved in a database. I want to know how to go back to first.jsp from second.jsp after the users info has been saved? I have been able to get the previous pages url information put I don't know what to do with it. I know there is a jsp:forward but don't think this can help me. PLEASE someone help me I am stuck and need to move forward.

    Why do you think that jsp:forward will not fit your requirement? An alternative is to use sendRedirect()

  • How to get back my old version of Adobe Acrobat

    How do I get my old Adobe Acrobat back.  It worked great for what little I use it. I was updated to Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.04 and do not need that complex of software for just Creating a PDF file and being able to print a copy when I need it.  Now if I try to print anything out of Word I am told my trial is over and if I want anything printed from word I have to buy the new acrobat.  Why did is get rid of my old version which I got in school?

    It should not have gotten rid of the old version.  First try uninstalling the new version and see if the old version comes out of hiding.
    If you need to reinstall the older version, you might be able to find it at the site linked below, but you will need to have the serial number for it to activate it to full use.

  • Aperture web gallery - how to link back to main page from iWeb?

    Okay, this may be simple, but I can't figure it out.
    I created and uploaded a few web pages with iWeb to my dot.Mac account (web.mac.com/f8lee50) just to get a feel for things. I then created a web gallery with Aperture and uploaded it - naturally Aperture generated a URL for the gallery, which I set up as a link on my "Photos from Hawaii" page (the link is the word 'this' in the second paragraph, if you wawnt to look).
    Okay, so this gets me from the "photos from Hawaii" page to the gallery, and within the gallery I can jump to the various images etc. But how does one navigate back to the "Photos from Hawaii" page from whence they came? Is there some sort of smart link that can be inserted (by Aperture?) that will send the viewer back to the main homepage? Or are the Aperture galleries essentially dead ends?

    Richard, thanks for responding - I'll check that tutorial.
    And thank you for the kind words, me100finn. I have not played with any variables as far as layout on the gallery (I did a bunch of stuff with the books, but the web gallery seems far less flexible) so I cannot answer your wuestion about the gray shadows.
    Steve, thank you for the additional clarification (and the hint about spaces in URLs) - I guess what this all boils down to is that the web galleries from Aperture are not all that useful when they are meant to be a part of a bigger overall site. I'm not sure of what you meant when you say they have little forward or backward navigation in them - at least you can click on a thumbnail to get to an image, click next or previous or the grid to get back to the thumbnail galery. But, 'twould seem that hand coding HTML pages (the very thing I was hoping to avoid) is the only way to really integrate them. Given that, I gues the better approach will be just to use iWeb to load the images anyway.
    Well, folks, thank you all for your answers. Until I do a re-do, I guess the back button is the way to go (which, for the record, I did sorta figure out myself

  • In Robohelp, how to go back to launch page

    I have Captivate demos in a Robohelp system. Each demo is
    launched from a help page, and when it ends I would like the help
    page to return automatically. It runs within the same RH frame, not
    as a popup. Right now the demo ends and the user doesn't
    necessarily know what to do next. Is there a way to do
    automatically go back to the RH page?

    Couple of ideas. Take a look at how I display my quizzes and
    clownfish videos in the Clownfish School sample project. (which
    ships with RoboHelp). This may not be exactly what you had in mind
    but may give you some ideas.
    http://www.showmethedemo.com/Transfer/Sample-Project/Clownfish_School/
    (Look especially at the Quiz and Clowns in the Movies links
    in the TOC.)
    Also, you may have missed this, but you can change the way a
    Captivate movie Starts and Ends. Go to Edit > Preferences and
    under Project go to Start and End. Notice the dropdown list of
    alternatives for Project End.
    You could choose Open URL or file (.htm) to make sure they
    return to your RoboHelp page. Also note the tiny dropdown arrow at
    the end of that field which lists the window you want them to
    return to.
    Hopefully, this will open up some options for you. Try it and
    let us know.
    Thanx.

  • How to get back my old account?

    Hello,
    I have an iTunes account which I keep seperate from my apple.com discussion/purchasing account. When I made my discussion account, I was a member of .mac and my apple discussion log-in was my e-mail address and password. Once my .mac address expired, I no longer had access to the account for e-mail ect, but could always use that ID to log into the discussion forum as well as when I purchased a product or download from the apple.com store. I have even been able to change the password multiple times since then as I always forget it and never write it down - stupid, I know. I always had the reset e-mail sent to my everyday e-mail account. Now, the last time I used this account was in August and I recently wanted to get back in so that I could participate in a discussion, however, when putting in my apple id (My old .mac address) and the password I thought it was, it didn't work - so I tried to have it reset but I was told my options were to A - have it sent to the .mac account or B - answer the security question - I of course, chose option B and I am being told my answer isn't correct. I have tried everything I can think of, but no luck - it's asking my favorite music player and date of birth - should there be some sort of separation between the two that could be causing it to say it isn't right??
    and last, is there ANY way I can get this account back? It is now locked for the next 8 hours due to too many attempts but if anyone can suggest something, i'd appreciate it.

    Hi ali,
    yes, that is me! However, no luck. What happens is this:
    Since I couldn't use my old log-in, I am using my iTunes store log-in for this discussion and if I want to get my apple id - it sends me the one I'm using now in my e-mail. The reason for this is because it is being sent to my current e-mail address (and only e-mail address). The discussion/apple.com store account was connected to my .mac account e-mail address which I haven't had in quite some time. I know the Apple ID that I always used to sign in and even after my .mac account ended I could still use it to log in for discussions and to purchase stuff from the store. So if I just want to change the password, I can't because i'm told I need access to the .mac account to do so. What I don't understand is how I retrieved that password the last time without having access to the .mac account - If I remember correctly, I had the info sent to my main e-mail account with no problem. But it appears that there is no connection between my old account and e-mail address anymore (and I think there used to be).
    I hope that makes sense because it is confusing and hard to explain
    Something tells me I won't be able to get back into that account ever again now. Thanks for your help and I hope you have another suggestion - if you have any questions that would help, please ask!!

  • Very much dislike 5.0, would like to return to 3.8.6 I was using, or whatever it was below 4.0. I made this same mistake when 4.0 appeared but can't remember how to get back to old version.

    Just want to know how to return to old version. Thanks for the help.

    Rune, now that you've upgraded, unless you had the older OS on your PC, I don't of a way to determine the earlier OS version.
    If you did, it would be located on your PC at c:\program files\common files\research in motion\Shared\Loader Files
    The latest version of the 4.6 software for the 8520 is located here:
    http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8500-serie​s-discussion-gemini/214971-os-8520-4-6-1-470-4-6-1​...
    1. Delete the newer OS from your PC by going to Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs.
    2. Then download and install the older version of the OS.
    3. Install the older OS to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    5. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • How do I back up old "Events" to an external hard drive?

    When I import new photos to iPhoto, I'm getting a message saying my iPhoto disk is almost full.  I'd like to transfer some older "events" to an external hard drive and then simply delete those photos but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. HELP!

    If you have less than 10 GB of free space on your boot drive you will have reduced performance and at damage your iPhoto library or your entire system
    Drag your iPhoto library to an external hard drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and test it. This will move your entire library to the external drive. Once it is fully tested you can delete photos from your main drive. In the future you may want to purchase iPhoto Library Manager to move future photos to the EHD. Also verify that your backup is backing up the rxternal drive as well as your main drive

  • How do I open an old Pages document in the new Pages?

    A couple of years ago my brother-in-law helped me to remake my resume, and saved it as a pages document.  I now need my resume again but cannot open it because the new pages keeps telling me I have to open it in Pages '09 and save it again.  I do not own any older version of pages and do not intend on purchasing an older version for just one document.  Is there anyway I can get it, or is lost?

    Pages 5.2 will not open a Pages '08 or earlier file.
    You need the original version of Pages or Pages '09 to open and resave it. Or Export it to Word .doc.
    This is why I have long recommended not to use any Apple software for long term work. Apple has done this to its users' work repeatedly. It can no longer be a surprise to anyone.
    Pages 5.2 file format is now so obscure and impenetrable it is positively the worst place to hold your work, especially as it is so buggy.
