Is there any way I can restore to leopard?

I bought a macbook 3 years ago, updated to all the new software directly, everything went well, no crashes...until now.
Installed Lion 2 days ago and today it just blocked all over... had to restart the whole computer!
I went over to mac because of the blue screens on windows, I was so glad I didn't have them anymore in mac...
Now programs are not working anymore, the whole thing just crashed.
I don't like the way this is going.
How to restore to leopard? I still have the leopard disk with me.
thanx

Boot from the Leopard installer DVD, use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive, then install Leopard.
Be sure you backup your files first.
To return to Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

    The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

  • Is there any way i can restore itunes to an earlier time/date, just like system restore? Thanks!

    Hi..
    Is there any way i can restore itunes to an earlier date/time? I accidentally lost a previous backup and now the file showing up is not the backup i want? Can i restore itunes to an earlier time like system restore on windows? Thanks!

    Actually i had my iphone os upgraded so i made a backup prior.. After the upgrade, instead of restoring data back the iphone made a new backup, overwriting my last backup, so now all my data is gone and when i went to appdata, oldest backup made is the one made after the upgrade! So i am looking for an undo of that backup, kind of a system restore for itunes.. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    No.

    You should be importing photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • I have moved all of my movies from "Search for - All Movies" folder thinking they were shortcuts to the trash folder by mistake.  Is there any way I can restore them to the right place on my system Note most are on an external hard drive. :(

    You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
    If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.

    P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

  • My safari "favorites" disappeared, is there any way I can restore them?

    My safari "favorites" disappeared on my iPad Air. The bookmarks icon is there but when I select it,  it says the page is invalid.
    Any way I can restore them?

    Perhaps if you have a backup which contains your bookmarks.

  • My iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.4 deleted all of my stored notes, I'm currently restoring to see if I can retrieve them, is there any way I can restore a specific saved backup?

    So, I just went into my iPhone notes (iPhone 4 iOS 7.0.4), and found that all my notes had been deleted. I did recdently change the mail account I was using, could that be the issue? I'm very worried as I had some bank details and other personal information stored in these notes. Is there any way I can select a specific stored backup to restore from?

    Well, in iTunes, if you had not changed to sync notes to Outlook, that would answer that question. I sync my notes to my Outlook and have never had an issue. The only thing you need to watch is your archive setting. If you have notes set to archive after a certain amount of time, you will find that after non-use on the iPhone, they can seem to disappear. They will just not sync back, but are kept in the archive of Outlook. They are never deleted unless you actually delete them.
    I'm glad you were about to find your notes.

  • Vid quality degraded after updating but it plays much more smoothly with minimal buffering. Is there any way I can restore the better resolution, or toggle between the two?

    OS:Windows XP
    Also, before updating, I used to go into the browser cache and copy the temporary file for a video (detected by refreshing the cache window) to another folder when the vid was finished playing, then I would add the .flv extension and *snap* I have the video saved. The cool thing about this was that I could skip forward in a video such as a news program to the segment I want, whereas with video downloaders I must save the whole thing. Since updating, the cache folder is full of dozens of folders, which each contain folders, which each contain multiple temp files, so it's MUCH harder to snatch the temp file without using the search feature specifying the date and size. The cool thing about this was that I could skip forward in a video such as a news program to the segment I want, whereas with video downloaders I must save the whole thing. I'd be grateful if anyone has any suggestions regarding this, but my main question is about video quality. For informational videos, the poor resolution and murky sound is a tolerable trade-off for having no delay or buffering, but for concert videos this is intolerable and it would be worth waiting for better quality. Is there any way to adjust the quality if the site itself doesn't offer that option?

    Sounds like you did this on the fly.
    MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
    M just sets a marker
    Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
    There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane  >>

  • I accidentally removed my iPad from iTunes in the cloud manage devices.    is there any way I can restore this?

    I accidentally removed my iPad from iTunes in the cloud manage devices is there anyway I can restore this?

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • TS4036 i no longer have my iphone is there any way i can restore my photos, documents, & data from my windows pc?

    i need to retrieve my photostream on my pc from my iphone that i no longer have

    You can set up iCloud and enable photo stream on your pc as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, but you will only get back photo stream photos added in the last 30 days. 
    Your camera roll photos and other data and settings would be restored by restoring your backup to a replacement iPhone.  If it's an iCloud backup, it will also restore your purchased apps and other media.

  • Is there a way i can restore my iPhone from a backup but everything apart from settings?

    Is there any way i can restore my iphone 4S from a backup after restoring it from factory settings but not applying my previous settings? as parental controls have been added, but passcode is forgotten and i now need to keep all my stuff on the iphone but get rid of parental controls!!

    You can't chose what to include/exclude with a restore, you can restore the whole backup (including settings) or not restore. I'm assuming that the passcode was on the iPhone when you last backed up, in which case (apart from remembering it) the only way to remove the code is to restore back to factory defaults.
