Problem With mac Operating system

ok, had a problem with a piece of software and was told to try and "downgrade" my OS. so i started an installer that was an installer to a previous system. i was on 4.8 and was trying to go to 3.4 i think. I got half way thru and it said start the installer again. restarted. instead of the apple logo coming up a round cross comes up. i connected to my comp thru another comp using the firewire but my user folder is empty. anyways i can find anything in the users folder and fix this problem? cheers

Who told you to downgrade your OS X version and was this due to the software not being compatible with your OS X version which was 10.4.8?
What software?
Your computer detail provided indicates you have an Intel Mac and if so, you certainly cannot downgrade to 10.3 - any 10.3.x version. All Intel Macs have shipped with Tiger (10.4.x) pre-installed and there are no OS X versions prior to 10.4.x that is compatible with an Intel Mac and even if so, you cannot install an earlier or previous OS X version on a Mac that shipped with a later version.
Unless you meant 10.4.3 which is the version that was pre-installed on your Intel Mac and the version included with the OS X install package that shipped with your Mac when new.
Did this person who told you to downgrade your OS also tell you to be sure to create a backup or update your existing backup before doing so?
Did you choose Archive & Install with an option to preserve user and network settings?
If not and you choose Erase & Install, then your hard drive was completely erased first.

  • Problem with zip operating system command

    Hello,
    i have the following configuration in the file receiver adapter:
    Directory: /tmp/
    File Name Scheme: %name%.txt
    Variable substitution:
    Variable Name: name                 Reference: payload: record,1,name,1
    Run Operating system command:
    /usr/bin/zip /tmp/%f.zip %F
    The execution is succesful, but i have a small problem. The file name is "file.txt.zip", the .txt should appear but i dont know how to skip it, I have tried so many ways but it doesnt work, I should receive a file called "file.zip" With a file inside in txt format...
    Thanks,
    Luis

    Hi Sriram,
    Thanks, but that wouldnt work out, Im using the %f for my file name, so this move command shouldnt work for me, because my filename changes in every execution, so I cant write something like this: mv file.txt.zip file.zip
    The only solution I see would would be a command which deals with strings and that could remove the four last characters of "%f"..but I havent found anything for doing it.
    Regards,
    Luis

  • Which version of Adobe Flash works properly with Mac operating systems?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no0Fn_gIoCo
    On Xat Flash Chatrooms it freezes. I thought Adobe Flash Beta 12 would fix my problem of the chats animations and chat freezing but it only temporarily fixed it because when I rebooted my Mac it still freezes the animation and chat! The latest versions of Adobe Flash non-beta Adobe Flash 11 something freezes too! Which specific Version of ADOBE Flash works properly on Mac OSX? NONE?
    I'm on Safari Browser and Mavericks 10.9 OSX.
    Specs:
    Haswell 3.4ghz
    graphics card: gtx 760
    4 gigs of ddr3 ram
    Macbook 2009: My other mac that does it too
    Intel duo 2 core 2.13ghz
    4gigs ddr2 ram
    I believe my macbook is running Nvidia 9400m 250mb card
    So each Mac that has had this problem is running Nvidia tho I don't know if thats the problem and I doubt it is. I'm sure it's a bug in Adobe Flash and Apple not caring enough to address the problems with Adobe Flash not working properly. If the two companies can't get a long, then why doesn't apple spend a little bit of money making their own compatible Flash for their safari browser?
    My friend who is a girl that I talked to on Xat said that she has a Macbook I think from 2010 or 2011 running Mavericks and her Macbook does not freeze. Is there an explanation to why my Macbook 2009 freezes in Adobe Flash and if there's a solution to it? Is her Macbook running ati card maybe?
    This is becoming very frustrating, so I need a solution. It does this on my Macbook and my Desktop Mac both which have Nvidia gpus.

    The latest Flash 11 works fine for me on Mavericks, on every site that plays videos.
    I have no idea what Xat Flash Chatrooms is (and really have no interest), but it sounds like the issue is with that site, as Flash in general works for literally tens of millions of people on most other sites.

  • JAR file problem with windows operating system rare

    hi,
    I have an application created with Eclipse 3.2, which also have a plugin that helps me to create jar files, migrate days ago all my application and my data base to a notebook that has a very rare operating system is Windows Vista, but is a version very rare and never seen, called oneAngel Illusion, and I think that that is not capable of running the JAR correctly, that when you double click or enter to JAR nothing happens, and I prove it on a machine that has XP and functioning properly.
    I hope I can help with this!

    I hope I can help with this!You should know, if you don't already, that your 'super rare' version of Windows Vista, sounds like one of numerous, illegal, cracked and knocked-off versions of Vista that have been floating about. Things like Windows Vista Silver and Windows Vista Sky are not only completely illegal reproductions of pirated copies of Vista but they often have terrible bugs and security deficiencies that can sacrifice the integrity of your data. Honestly, if you're already shooting yourself in the foot with this bootlegged operating system, just get Linux, it's just like stealing but without the unsavory prison shower encounters.

  • Security Problems with new operating system (5.1)

    Using the new operating system you can use the camera when the ipod is locked. When you do this it overides the 4 digit security code giving full access to your ipod without entering the code. Surely this should not happen as the security of your ipod or iphone should not be compromised in this way. It needs a fix. Anyone else noticed this?

    Are you sure you are just not trying to access the iPod before the time you set the screen-lock to engage has passed?
    If the time period is set for say one minute and then you tell the iPod to sleep, you can still access the camera and then the whole iPod. But you can simply do that anywhap by jus sliging to to unloack.  If the time period has not passed you do not need to enter your passcode.  Othr users have forgot this and raised the same issue as you.

  • I am running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I cannot download Firefox 4 because it says it is incompatible with my operating system, although supposedly it is compatible with OS X 10.5

    I would like to download Firefox 4. I get an error message during download saying it is incompatible with my operating system and that it needs OS X 10.5 or 10.6 but I AM using 10.5.8, so what might be the problem?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

When I try to access Photoshop from Bridge or directly open it asks for a Legacy Version of Java 6. As I am a pensioner I cannot afford an upgrade does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?

    Hi Daddyfred,
    CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.

  • IPhone with multiple operating systems (win/mac)

    Does the iPhone have any problems switching between operating systems? ie: if it's used for a few months with iTunes on a PC and then you switch to iTunes on a Mac, will there be any problem moving over all the contacts, music...etc?
    I remember some of past iPods had issues that once they were "formatted" for one OS, you couldn't really use them with a different one without wiping them clean and starting over.

    The iPhone has it's own OS, and syncing between Macs and PCs is not a problem. There's no formatting issue involved.

  • Will InDesign4 work with the newest MAC operating system -- OS10.9 I think.

    Will InDesign4 work with the newest MAC operating system -- OS10.9 I think.  My OS crashed and they have to wipe the computer to put on a new system. I don't want the latest system if it won't run CS4. I bought Creative Suite Cloud version and had nothing but problems with it and the system I was running. In fact all the problems with my computer started just after I put CS Cloud version on it.

    Thanks for answering. I'll try to be more specific in my question.
