Will uninstalling Mavericks and reverting back to Lion restore iMovie to 9.0.0?

I’m someone who regularly uses iMovie to edit videos for YouTube, and given that my iMovie 9.0.4 recently decided to go bonkers beyond repair, I can no longer use it, for it’s no longer on my Mac.
In short, iMovie 10 is an utter disgrace, and I want iMovie 9 back. Now, in order for me to get iMovie 9 back, will uninstalling Mavericks and reverting back to Lion (a better OS in my opinion anyway) return iMovie to its former glory? My Mac didn’t come with a disc, so how would this work?
Thanks for any help can may be provided!

You should still have iMovie9 in a folder after Mavericks upgrade.  It did not delete it.  Check your applications.

    You can't uninstall an OS X version. You would have to erase the drive and reinstall a prior OS version. That's why you should never upgrade without having a backup.
    However, just about any router in the world should work with Mavericks, without the need of any DVD supplied software.

  • How to uninstall PSE7 and revert back to PSE5 organizer prior to PSE8 install

    I have a Vista 64-bit system and currently have PSE5 abd PSE7 installed.  When I installed PSE7, I converted the PSE5 Organizer catalogs, but decided I didn't care for some aspects of PSE7 and reverted back to using PSE5.  So, the PSE5 catalogs are current and the PSE7 catalogs aren't up to date.  I now want to install PSE8 but want to be sure that it "grabs" and converts the Organizer catalogs from PSE5, not the out-of-date PSE7 catalogs.  Can anyone tell me the best way to attempt this?  Should I uninstall PSE7 and then install PSE8 so there will only be the up-to-date PSE5 catalogs available for converting to PSE8?  I'm not even sure where Vista puts the catalogs.  Everything seems to be different with a 64-bit system.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    You can find the PSE7 catalog file at the following location in Vista:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\
    There would a file having extension of .pse7db which you can delete to avoid PSE 8 grabbing it.
    Let us know if you still have any queries,

  • I want to abort Mavericks and go back to Lion...How?

    I recently installed Mavericks because it was free and I thought it would correct some minor problems I was having...well now I have major, major problems.  After attempting to solve them for some days and driving myself to near madness, I have decided to abort Mavericks and reinstall a fresh copy of OSX Lion.  How do I do this?  I have a Mac Mini from 2011 and it did not come with any boot discs.  I know you can purchase Lion for $20 on the Apple store but I'm not sure this will even work because it says you need to be running 10.6 or whatever.  Would I need to buy the 10.6 disc, then the upgrade?  $40 bucks and a few days wait...just to get back to an OS that works?  Yes I have read about time machine, but hindsight is 20/20.  This is pretty painful.  Thanks for the help!

    Typically minor problems become major ones with any
    OS upgrade from my personal experience.  Always a good
    idea to make sure a system is trouble free before any upgrade.
    If you could tell us what your issues are, perhaps we can help
    you fix them and get you going.
    Personally, I have Mavericks running very well on a 2011 Mini Server.
    So, you may have some driver(s) or app(s) that may be conflicting
    with Mavericks.  Tell us the problems and perhaps we can help.

  • How to get rid of maverick and go back to lion

    I installed maverick on a macbook pro that had lion. How I want to go back to lion. Any help would be appreciated.

    Or.... if your Mac has the Internet Recovery feature, restart using the Command+Option+R keys until you see a spinning globe. This will boot to Apple's server and their Recovery HD. At the OS X Utilities menu check which OS you have available to reinstall. Assuming your Mac came pre-installed with Lion, you should see the ability to reinstall it.
    Make a back up first.

  • How do I uninstall Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion

    Any ideas?
    Can't find it on App Store anymore.

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks, the computer seems to be running slower.  Slower in sending emails - they land in the outbox for a few seconds at least.  Much slower in loading internet pages.  The worst part is that I type up podcasts for various reasons and with Mavericks, itunes clips about two, sometimes three seconds off when I use the pause/play button.  IOWs it advances and I miss words.  I've tried redownloading itunes and it still clips seconds. 
    the other thing I don't care for in Mavericks, but I suppose I could get used it, is that in Pages, the inspector is now "permanent" - you can't move it around.  That limits the amount of page space on the display because it's taken up with the inspector so when I'm typing a landscape oriented paper, I have to constantly scroll.  With the Inspector on top and movable, I could just move it to where it was out of the way but still have it accessible.  Now I can't.  I should have waited to upgrade until I heard more about it.  Every update I've done in the year since I've switched to using Apple, I have loved.  Not so, this time I'm afraid.
    Thanks again for your help.  Sorry for the long answer!

  • How do I uninstall Mavericks and go back to snow leopard?

    I recently installed Mavericks os x and HATE it. Slows down my computer. How do I go back to snow leopard?

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Restore your files from your backup.

  • How to uninstall OS4 and revert back to version 3.1.3

    Wow! I just wrote a post asking for help about how to downgrade the OS on my iPhone 3G and it got deleted!
    I understand that other people are asking the same questions but deleting them wont make the problem go away.
    Does anyone know how to downgrade the iPhone OS from Version 4?

    I am having no problems with my iPhone 3G running iOS 4.0.1. Everything (with the exception of the hardware limitations as its 2 years old) runs perfectly well without missing a beat.
    Applications that are heavy users of memory have a hard time with iOS4 on the 3G because the OS uses more memory leaving less for the user apps.
    Pandora is one of the apps that just won't run for very long without crashing due to lack of memory--or so Pandora says in their FAQ--and I found that Pandora would only run about 25 minutes on my 3G with iOS4 and it would run without problem on my iPhone 4.
    I didn't notice much of a speed difference between 3.1.3 and 4.0.1 for apps that don't use a lot of memory. However, my 3G phone was not used as a phone--I set it up as a 'iPod Touch' using the Apple knowledge base article. I have an iPhone 4 for telephone use and my 3G was only used with Pandora and other radio/music apps so I downgraded to 3.1.3 and Pandora again works well. Were it not for the Pandora problem I would not have downgraded and if Pandora can solve the memory issue on the 3G I will again move to iOS4. Google is your friend.

  • How do I revert back to Lion from Mavericks?

    How do I revert back to Lion from Maverick? Maverick does not support our server.

    If you do end up needing to go the erase and re-install route because you do not have current backup to restore from, ensure that you make a clone or Time Machine copy of your current setup before doing the erase and re-install of Lion  as the erase process will delete all your data.
