Rolling back to previous version of Spotify and preventing update

Hi 
I thougth people might find it useful to know after not liking the recent update 0.9.15.27 I tried rolling back to previous versions of Spotify using instructions from another community post.  These are the results I had roughly
Very early versions 0.49.285 to 0.5.2.44 automatically updated to the most recent version of Spotify which as of today Iis 0.9.15.27
06.2.240-..0.6.5 installed fine but all my friends were gone I seemed to be able to add them if they subscribed to my playlists but updating their activity was dubious at best
0.8.0.952-0.8.3.22 all rolled me up to 0.8.3.22  Still no friends list
From version 0.8.8.50 my friends returned as did Starred tracks which I like
I think from  0.9.10.22 Spotify was able to update itself again to the latest version 
This took a long time so I hope someone finds this useful lol.  Im running windows 7 for information and this is the instructional I followed.
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Tutorial-stop-auto-update-and-use-old-client-and-skin/m-p/769659/highlight/true#M84315
Thats 4 hours of my life Im never getting back in the quest for a spotify that doesnt annoy me lol
UPDATE: Im not sure at which release this fix does not start working but I had went with 0.9.11.27 and even though when I checked the information it said I still had that version my activity feed changed to the new round pics of my friends.  I have went back to 0.8.8.50 as that is the first release where my full friends list returned and have quit and restarted and still remains on this version so my further advice is you may have to try this a couple of times and if it auto updates try rolling back to an older release until you find a compromise of one you like that also WONT auto update as at some stage Spotify must have altered the way the programs update.  
It would also be useful if you could restart your machine and check that your version does not auto update then post which one you are on so we can figure out where the fix works until and once we know more I will update this first post from feedback

Just an update from my end... Initially I downloaded 0.9.11.27 and got the old activity feed! I vowed I would never restart Spotify (I hate the new feed that much as it simply changes the experience completely for me). This morning Spotify would not play anything so I had to restart and, alas, the new dreaded feed!!! BUT, then I got the banner asking me to restart to download the latest version of spotify; I did as I already had the new feed again. Yet, after the update (It updated to 0.9.15.27)I now have the old wonderful activity feed again!!! Not sure how to explain that...

  • Upgraded to FF5 a week ago, nothing but problems since; can I roll back to previous version!

    I notice on the Help files that I am not alone in having problems with FF5. I have tried running in Safe Mode and am now stuck in this mode! Nothing including re-booting will shift it. PLEASE - how do I get back to previous version - 4.nn

    First of all fix your starting in safe mode problem
    * Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help<br>https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox%20is%20stuck%20in%20Safe%20Mode
    What you notice in Questions are problems that people ask for help with. Often there are solutions to those problems that do not involve going back to an earlier version. But without details of your problem one can only provide the information you ask for which is ''how to go back to a previous version''.
    '''For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox''', find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
    * ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
    When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic

  • Solutions center - roll back to previous version?

    The 2.3.002 version does not work correctly. The previous version (no idea what the number/version would have been) was resonably helpful. The current version does not display correctly and does not allow me to select options within the various tabs as the contents/options are displayed out of the viewport and there is not 'scrollbar' or anything to enable access. Is there anyway to roll back to a previous version?
    My system: W520/Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2760QM CPU @ 2.40GHz/8GB Ram/Windows 7 Professional

    see if the older package is still in /var/cache/pacman/pkg. If you find it, which you hsould be able to unless you ran pacman -Sc at an inopportune moment, you can install with pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pkgname.pkgver.pkg.tar.gz

  • Roll back to previous version of specific package

    I have a general question. I recently upgraded with pacman -Syu and my lighttpd is now broken. Is there a way to simply roll back to the previous version of a specific package? Thanks!

  • Roll back to previous version of Premiere CC

    This might help someone. I was having allot of issues after I updated to 7.2 with audio dissolves and playback so I reverted back to 7.1. This is how to do it:
    Follow links on this thread on how to download version 7.0.1:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5823746#5823746
    *its about halfway down the page
    *Make sure you click the first link and leave it open in the background before you click on the download links otherwise you wont get access.
    Download update for whatever version you want to roll back to:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=98&platform=Windows
    You need to download two files to install Premiere CC 7.0.1. There is an installer (.exe) and all the files (.7z). Once both are downloaded click the .exe and that will install Premiere.
    Then unzip the update and install.
    Good Luck!

    Thanks Ann – in response to reader requests, we've taken it a step further...
    Here are all the installers & updates for all CC tools into one a codified set of instructions:
    How to Access, Revert or Update to Any Version of Adobe CC Apps
    So, rolling back (or forward) through any Creative Cloud update is now possible if/when necessary.
    Hope this helps someone in a pinch!

  • NWDI: Rolling back to previous version

    Hello All,
    Is there a way you can tag the whole workspace or a project before I release my changes? (tagging is a feature available in version control systems like RationalRose Clear Case).
    This feature is important so I can go back to the version of the project that's in production and make a bug fix, uninterrupting my ongoing enhancements for the same project, that won't go to production for some time.
    I know that enhancements/maintainence scenarios can be handled by creating another track for the main track and connecting them via repair connections. The problem with that is, repair connections automatically forward the bug fixes I do to my enhancements track (which I don't want).
    I tried syncing to a date... feature in DTR perspective. This would give me the whole code thats in production, but unfortunately its not editable to fix my bug.
    Thanks,
    Kiran

    Sync to Date is currently the only option offered by the DTR.
    You can only edit the active version of a resource in a workspace, because the DTR does not support branching within a workspace: There is no mechanism in place to merge an older version of a resource into the same workspace.
    If you want to do this, you must make a copy of the workspace (a "maintenance" workspace) and make your changes in that workspace. You can integrate the related activity/activities into the "ongoing development" workspace afterwards, if you want to of course.
    Why don't you want your bugfixes to be forwarded by the way? Those bugs are also in your enhancement tracks...

  • Anyone figure out how to roll=back to previous version iPhone OS?

    3.0 just doesn't get it for me. This past week I've completely reset my iPhone 7 times. This is just nuts. Wifes phone is doing exactly the same thing.
    Apps crash immediately, reboot the iPhone takes about 15 minutes to come back, apps still crash, rebuild fixes it but it comes right back.

    Do you mean a 'reset' or 'restore as new'? The two are vastly different, although either may work.
    A reset is pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    A restore is done through iTunes on your computer.
    Also, you wouldn't happen to be Jim North from DeSoto and TAMU would you?

  • Ever since upgrading to Firefox 4, my webpages load much much slower. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox and keep my bookmarks, etc.?

    I don't have any details. The Question explains it all. We just upgraded from 1.5 Mbps to 18 Mbps download speed and webpages opened really quick until I downloaded and installed Firefox 4. I have Internet Explorer 9, but I do not use it. I would just like to go back to the most current previous version of Firefox and keep my settings and bookmarks to see if webpages still load as slow as they are loading now. If so, then it's not the browser and I'll have to troubleshoot.

    You can download Firefox 3.6 from this page:
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    However, I'm not sure of the best procedure for removing Firefox 4. You might want to search these forums a bit for advice so you don't lose Bookmarks and other settings.

  • How can I go back to previous version of firefox cause 4 sucks and I am going to have to go back to internet explorer?

    This version is horrible, and I want to downgrade back to previous version if I can't then I am going back to internet explorer, the search engine is an aberration...just trying to perform a search for hotmail sign in page and had to click on have a dozen responses before I find the one I want where before was right there at the top. If I cannot go back to a previous version, just tell me so I can start using internet explorer, it is horrible as well but at least search engine was not as frustrating to use!!!!

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • I can't not play my games anymore, the curser (shotting balls) hesitates and slow down the game, how can i go back to previous version. it's not in the previous version box in properties

    I WANT TO GO BACK TO PREVIOUS VERSION, BUT IT'S NOT IN THE PROPERTIES. THIS VERSION DOES NOT WORK WITH THE GAMES I PLAY, IT'S MESSING AND SLOWING THINGS DOWN

    Sorry to hear this. What have you tried in the way of troubleshooting? Have you tried running from a new user account ?
    This really isn't the best place to reach out to Apple. It's a user-to-user forum. A very long shot, but you could contact an Apple retail store and possibly they'll be able to help…but that assumes you didn't update your project and events if you need to work on any of those shows.
    For some time, contributors here and other FCP forums have reminded people to follow Apple's best updating practices and archive the pre-update version of the app as well as their projects and events. Absent those archives, there is also the possibility of doing a restore from Time Machine (or some other BU utility), if used.
    Best of luck.

  • I have installed the new OS and have lost a part of my personal data: music files and pictures. The new safari is horrible. Give me back the previous version!

    I have installed the new OS and have lost a part of my personal data: music files and pictures. The new safari is horrible. Give me back the previous version! Or fix the bugs!

    These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    What bugs ? Have you not got your music, files, photos on your computer so that you can sync them back to the iPad ?

  • When I use FF 4 I have problem with my Intranet user interface, I lost the ability to acces my intranet database? So for now I go back to previous version. I hope that kind of problem can be fix soon.

    I usually use FF 3.6 version to download data from my company intranet. With old FF version I can access the intranet easily. But when I upgrade to the FF 4, I lost the ability to customize the variable data I want to collect. It kind of stuck. Usually when I right click I have option what to do. with the new version my option is none. nothing change. It's frustrating. So now, I go back to previous version. You said previous version is vulnerable to phishing or virus or something but still it user friendly for me to access my company data. Please fix that bug and I'll upgrade to the newest version.

    I want to add my progress about this problem. I find this problem in IE 9, but it has compatibility view, though not too perfect but quite helpful. Whereas FF 4, from article in support, said it doesn't have one. So, I beg you FF team to accommodate us who still deal with old web design so we still can use this FF 4. Please..please..please. I still believe Firefox is the best browser and I hope FF team also responsive about current problem. I think I don't have any option, but to downgrade FF to 3.6 until someone tell me how to deal with this kind of problem. Thanks.

  • ABAP Code in End Routine - reverts back to previous version

    Team:
    Currently, we are in upgrading from 7.01 to 7.4. The new development environment is only used to built the new development work until the mirror image client is upgraded.
    In one customised dataflow, we place some code and the transformation is activated. No issues at all, then the next day, the code reverts back a previous version. Consequently, we are losing the code. We already have a sign off of a piece of work and we checked the code again. We were puzzled as to why the code has gone back to a previous version.
    SAP is asking to replicate the issue. Unfortunately, we cannot replicate accurately this issue. Now, we have two more developers reporting the same case. Yet again, the issue comes and goes. We reboot the server with some success. Then days later, the issue pops up with a developer. The Basis guys have not found anything related to this case.
    Any idea is welcome.

    Sync to Date is currently the only option offered by the DTR.
    You can only edit the active version of a resource in a workspace, because the DTR does not support branching within a workspace: There is no mechanism in place to merge an older version of a resource into the same workspace.

  • PSD files rolling back to previous saved points on their own

    I've been using Photoshop CC for awhile now and I'm quite happy with it except for one problem which I've been noticing. The PSD files seem to roll back to previous saved points after closing and saving them. It's not immediate, but after a few days it happens. Which means I've been losing hours of work across all my files. I'm not sure if it's connected, but it usually happens after every time I update CC, which is very frequent. Either that or Photoshop has never been saving the files properly in the first place.
    I use Photoshop CC on two computers: Macbook Pro Mavericks and Desktop PC Windows 8.1. I transfer PSD files between them constantly using an external hard drive. Which brings up a scary point, identical files on both my computers and hard drive roll back to previous saved points, so I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with my hardware.
    Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?

    Forgive me, but let me add to Noel's comments.
    Is the time signature on both computers the same? That is, when you look at the time on either computer, is it correct?
    Also, since you are on CC, have you considered saving the images you are working on in you Creative Cloud folder? You can start work on one computer, save and close the image, then when you are on the other computer, open that image directly from your CC folder on that computer and continue right from when you left off.
    Here are a couple of points to be aware of and to consider for this to work: CC works just like DropBox, you will have a CC folder on both of your computers and they will contain any file(s) you put into them. When the Cloud notices something new or updated, it will transfer the file(s) up to the cloud. When you are on the other computer, it will notice there is a new or updated file(s) on the cloud and will download them automatically to your other computer. The file(s) are ON you computer, not solely in the clouds. To make this work though, you have to have your CC account be started and running for any work to transfer into or out of your computer. If the CC application isn't running there's nothing to control this mechanism. (E.g., if PS isn't running, you cannot open a PS file, if CC isn't running it can't do the transfer thing. [The CC application is the icon that is red with the interlocking infinity like thing in the middle.]
    You have 20 GB of storage on the CC and that should be big enough to hold most projects till they are done.
