Is there a way to revert back to Safar 3.x?

I was excited when I saw that Apple had an upgrade to Safari. I figured that it would be quicker with some cool new features. Well, some sites seem a little quicker, but nothing noticeable and some sites seem slower. My problem is that some sites simply don't work with 4.0. I haven't documented this because frankly, I don't have the time. I use another computer with 3.x to get what I need from that site. [Kind of like the same situation with newer versions of quicktime and livetype problems, but that's another post]
My plugins are pretty limited and worked fine before. I wasn't looking at this being an exercise in troubleshooting, I just thought a new safari upgrade would be worth it. So far, to me it's not.

You are most welcome. Some of the new features are, to me, different, but not very useful. However, I do notice a substantial speed increase over Safari 3 (that is anecdotal, not quantified!).
I have only found one site that has problems rendering flash content in Safari 4. They acknowledged the problem and are working on it.

  • Is there a way of reverting back to previous firefox version

    I use firefox extensively for development. I use firebug and dojo. It seems that the new version (Firefox 4) is far slower than the previous version and sometimes hangs completely. I believe this may be caused by Firebug doing a lot of work but it never used to happen. Also firebug doesn't quite seem to work as well with dojo script. Previously if you did a dojo.require to drag in a js script file then you could automatically see it through firebug. Now have to put files I want to debug with script tags. Is there a way of reverting back to previous firefox version?

    No need to re-install plugins or extensions.
    You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
    When you install the second version of Firefox use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
    In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for the second version of Firefox (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profile synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
    The following links show how to do this:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)
    An alternative way of testing Firefox 4 is to install the portable version on your hard drive. It will use its own profile folder and not interfere with the other version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

  • I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

    I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

    Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
    Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
    Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
    If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
    Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
    Here we go!
    Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
    Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
    On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
    This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
    When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
    When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
    Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    (Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
    Final step optional but highly receommended.
    A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version..  (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
    It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

  • Ok, so while we all wait for ever, is there a way to revert back to the previous os and data?

    Ok, so while we all wait for ever, is there a way to revert back to the previous os and data?  I could wait a week for this mess to get worked out and I need my telephone. problem is I'm stuck in the loop too.  will not connect and there I have a brick.  sort of a shoot yourself in the foot process if you have a wiped phone previous to updating it.  useless
    anyone know how to revert?  Verizon btw, had 4.2.10, tried for ios 5, tried for the gold, no win
    Thx

    I'm seriously thinking of downgrading back to Mavericks for one very specific reason - the Mail app. As a long-time Mail user, I've always had the Address Panel open down the left side of the Mail app, selected from the Window/Address Panel menu item. It showed a simple list of all contacts, or groups, and only the email address(es) associated with each one. Could select a group then click BCC or TO: or whatever.  Could also select multiple addresses and pop them into the CC: list or wherever you liked. And within a Group (eg Work) could do multiple select, and also choose which email address to use for those who have more than one (eg work vs personal).
    But - Apple seems to have removed it in Yosemite. The Mail app has NO WAY - at least that I can find - to access a simple list of contacts and email addresses from within the Mail app. What an absolutely stupid move, unless it's just me being dense and can't find it!
    If anyone can point me to where or how to show that Address Panel in the Mail app, I'd be most grateful. Having Contacts app open all the time just doesn't cut it either, apart from not enough screen real estate. Contacts won't show you a simple list of people and email addresses like the Address Panel in Mail did. It shows you the full details, one at a time, for each contact. Which is absolutely NO good if I have to send out emails to 50 work colleagues, for example.
    Why does Apple DO stuff like this? Like removing the sidebar in iTunes, for another example?
    If I can't find an Address Panel for Mail, I'm going back to Mavericks.  Anyone got any clues?

  • Installed 2.2 is there a way to revert back to 2.1?

    Help. just curious. sorry if this was posted already. can anyone tell me if there's a way to revert back to 2.1?
    thanks

    It probably would have been better if you used a shorter subject and put your question into the body of the message.
    In order to revert back to 6.1, you will need to install LV 8.0, 7.1, and 7.0 and save back to a previous version.  In 8.2 saveas as 8.0.  Open it in 8.0 and save to 7.1.  Open in 7.1 save to 7.0.  Open in 7.0 save as 6.1.  It's a lot of steps and possibly one of those steps may not be needed.
    If it's only a few VI's, perhaps someone with a lot of different versions may be able to do the backsaving for you and you can post them in the message thread.
    Whenever doing an upgrade, and going from 6.1 to 8.2 is a MAJOR upgrade, it is always a good idea to backup all of your codebase and store the files away in a safe place.  That way you can open them up in the older version if you need to.  It is much easier to upgrade than it is to backsave.  The reason for storing files in a safe place that if opening up one VI in a newer version calls older VI's in libraries and other parts of your harddrive, it will upgrade all of them as well, and if you do a Saveall when closing your VI, all of those upgraded sub-VI's will then be saved in the new version.
    Edit:  Hi Tbob, you must have been just finishing your message and submitted it right after I started writing mine.  I'm glad we were sayint the same thing.

  • I just downloaded the iOS 7, and hate it!  It looks like a child's toy phone. Is there a way to revert back to 6?

    I just downloaded the latest iOS 7, and hate it!  It looks like a child's toy phone.  Also, the graphics look washed out. Is there a way to revert to the iOS 6 system, or do I move to a Samsung?

    You can always go back if you want! 
    By that I mean go back to an iPhone 3GS, if iOS 6 is so important to you.
    iOS 7 has been out for months, and not only are there hundreds of news articles aboutit, you could have easily viewed the look of the new format on the Apple website, any Apple store, or in fact any retail store that sells iPhones.
    Unfortunately, at this point, you have only yourself to blame if you dislike the 'look' of iOS 7.

  • I installed Firefox 8 today and it has wreaked havoc on my mac running 10.6.8. Is there a way to revert back version 7?

    The fact that it is 8.0.1 tells me that this version is probably not sorted out yet. My experience is proof. I've been using Firefox for years and would like to make it work.

  • Is there a way to revert back to the old version of Cloud

    I installed Mountain Lion on my laptop to try it out before installing it on my Mac Pro. I didn't like it so I decided to leave the Mac Pro alone. Problem is, it installed the new version of Cloud and now I can't sync my Mac Pro. Now my laptop is broken. Is there a way to change back to the Cloud version that is recognized by Snow Leopard?

    If you mean MobileMe, no.  That's been closed since last July and was replaced with iCloud, which requires OS X Lion or higher.

  • Is there a way to revert back to Kit Kat on the G3?

    The Android L (5.0) update has made my phone fairly unreliable.  Is there anyway to roll the phone back to Kit Kat until some of these issues are worked out with lollipop on this device?

    You cannot revert back to KitKat without flashing your phone [read: Void Your Warranty!].  The latest scuttlebutt is that LG is aware and working on a 5.1 update.  So until then we are stuck.  I phones have had their issues as well, i.e. Apple finally acknowledging WiDie (phone loses WiFi connection for no reason).  We just take the good with the bad at this point.  You'd think in the 21st century this sh*t would be a thing of the past, but you'd be wrong....

  • Is there any way to revert back to the old Active X based Datasheet view?

    Hello,
    Is there a setting I can check to use the old Active X based Datasheet view from 2010? If not, then is there a way to have the new 2013 Datasheet view display more than 30 items per line? I clicked display all in the view settings and it displays 30
    items and gives me a little arrow at the bottom to get to the next set of 30. My list has close to 800 items and I want to edit them on one page without having to scroll to other pages. Its more user friendly that way

    > use the old Active X based Datasheet view from 2010
    No way I know of.
    But you can edit the view and set the item limit to a large number. One of my lists has 672 items and I can display them all in a single Quick Edit view.

  • Is there any way to revert back to my old interface?

    I installed ios7 this morning and I can't stand the new interface.  And no, it's not because I'm resistant to change or just haven't gotten used to it- I genuinely despise it.  It looks like something designed by a 10 year old preparing for a career as a clown.
    I'm sure the answer to this is "no", but I'm gonna ask it anyway- is there any way to change the look of the interface?  some sort of setting that allows me to pick a different theme?

    thanks... and that's a shame.  I particularly don't like the new calendar.  the old calendar had a preview pane at the bottom of the screen so you could you click on a day and see the calendar items, while still having the entire month in the view.  the new calendar functionality is difficult to use without that feature.  I didn't see a preference allowing one to show a preview pane.  of all the things I'm finding that I don't like about the new OS, this is probably the biggest.
    are there any preferences or settings I can use to change the viewing options in calendar?

  • I download ios 7 but it changed my phone settings. Is there a way to revert back to ios 6.1.3?

    I really like the new ios, but it messed with my phone setting and there is no way to get them back. Is there any type of way to get ios 6 back?

    What did your carrier say when you reported the problem to them?
    What troubleshooting have you tried?
    Reboot the phone.
    Reset the network settings.
    Restore the phone.
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    See if it's fixed at any point in that chain of standard troubleshooting steps.

  • Is there any way to revert back to iOS3 on a 3GS phone

    Does anybody know how to remove ios4 and reinstall 3 in a 3GS? IOS 4 absolutely stinks!! It won't push calendar events to my Outlook calender nor sync contacts. the software engineers should be hung by their thumbs for not fully testing this 'upgrade'.

    Are you sure that's true?
    I wasn't aware that there was any restriction on installing a software file released by Apple onto one of their phones.
    Without wishing to break any rules here, I believed you could download the correct ipsw file and, by holding the shift key when you select Restore in iTunes, specify which file you wish to load onto your phone.
    I don't think you need to hack thephone in any way so all warranty should remain intact
    Of course, if you keep a backup of all the software levels you use, there isn't even a need to download them from the Internet, so everything must be legal and above board.
    In fact, the first thing I'll do when I get home is make a backup of my 4.0 software in case I need to revert to it in the future.

  • Is there a way to revert back to the old OS?

    I got a iPod Touch last week and it was able to connect to my home wireless and work wireless network just fine. I then downloaded the 3.0 OS and it will still connect to my home wireless [Belkin G+ Wireless] BUT only if I'm in close proximity [like 10 ft], but it won't connect to my work wireless [Cisco] at all. I know there are a few posts on the non-connecting issue, but I want to know how do I get my touch back to the software it was shipped to me with...I think it's the 2.2?
    Another question, if you buy your touch from another retailer [like Best Buy or Amazon] can you still take it into the Apple store if you need it repaired?
    Thanks to all who reply!

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple. SOmetimes and iOS update does break compatibility.
    Have you went to Chrysler's support site?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Resetting the car system               
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
