This might be a dopey question, but...
Absolutely needing to work with images on a server, the update to 10.4.6 and it's issues with Photoshop, is giving my co-worker a headache.
If he archives and installs, to 10.4 are the updates to 10.4.5 still available?
I did a quick search of the main support site and found only 10.4.6.
Will he be stuck in 10.4 until 10.4.7?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, Vincent.
Before performing a downgrade install as you're considering, I'd spend some time trying to solve the problem, particularly checking the Adobe knowledge base or the Adobe forums for Photoshop. It would also help if you'd specify the version of Photoshop that's having the problem and if all appropriate updates to that version of Photoshop have been applied.
Downgrade installs can be very dodgy. Apple does not recommend them, as they note in the "About 'Downgrade' installations" section at the end of "Mac OS X: Troubleshooting installation and software updates." Additional information about why downgrade installs are problematic can be found in "Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X."
If you want to try a downgrade install to 10.4.5 from 10.4.6, you can see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ. In step (4b), install the Mac OS X 10.4.5 Combo Update, then follow the rest of the steps. Note that:• Downgrade installs are performed at your own risk. While the downgrade method outlined above has worked for many, Apple does not recommend downgrade installations and one cannot account for how variances between individual users' systems may affect the outcome. Again, use at your own risk: you break it, you fix it.
• I would only test third-party applications in Step 5 as Apple apps are likely to run into the issues with the Previous Systems folder noted in "Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X."
• Apple apps should be safe to test after Step 6, but you may still run into problems due to 10.4.6-related changes in preferences files in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. Discarding the preferences files for Apple applications that are problematic after a downgrade install may solve the problem with those applications.Good luck!

Hi!
This might be a stupid question, but I just bought an IPod G5 60 GB. When you firstconnect your IPod you have to setup your ID. I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
Thanks!Hi!

Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.
Hi Winterwilly,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below answers your question of how to use QuickTime to record something on your MacBook Pro’s screen.

Shazam is a 3rd party application. You need to ask Shazam why they are charging Nokia users and not iPhone users.

I do not have any CD ROM or hard disk for saving my data in my mac. Would it be safe for me to directly upgrade to osx Mavericks? Sorry for my poor english btw

You are an accident waiting to happen!!!!! Backing up data
is extremely important as anything may happen at any time.
Relying on a single electronic copy of your data is not a good
idea at all!!
Now of course, if all your data on your computer has absolutely
no meaning to you, then there is no need to backup. -
This might be a simple question. On those sites that do not differentiate between CRT, laptop, tablet etc. such as an iPad Mini and using the Facebook site fir example when going to post a comment and you do not have a enter button on the IPad and the speed is slow how do you get your comments to post if we do not have a enter button?

Where do i find the reference number for my preorder? and yes i no this is prob a dumb question but i cant find it anywhere......
Hi droidboy52999,
Your email won't have the same confirmation number as it was ordered over the phone. You will need the last name used for the order, the location code (this ends in 01) and an order number (five to six digit number). Please keep us posted if you need further assistance with this.
Thank you,

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.
Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
Hope this helps,

This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.
Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

Im new to itunes so this might be a simple answer but...I downloaded 20 songs a few days ago and the last 45-60 second ds of more than half didn't download. When playing the song it will kirt move to the next song. How can I get it to download again or get my money back? It does this whether I'm on my ipod touch, laptop, shuffle, etc.
That has been a common problem at the Store for several months. The easiest thing is to download fresh copies at no charge, per these instructions:

You can get the latest jQuery Mobile Themes directly from jQuery Mobile's web site.

This may seem a silly question, but how can I create a new mailbox on my iPad?
This may seem a silly question, but how can I create a new mailbox on my iPad?
A new mailbox/folder - you can't, not yet. If you're using an IMAP mail account, you can create a mailbox on the server (either through webmail or desktop mail) and it'll appear on the iPad.
We've been told the upcoming iOS5 will allow you to do so (I assume, provided you have IMAP).
