Back out 10.5.7

How can I back out 10.5.7 back to 10.5.6? I am not condemning 10.5.7 but I am having an issue with a third party server since the update and I am trying to isolate whether the fixes contained in the update are the source of the problem.

If you don't have a backup - clone, TM or other, then I would do a new install on an external drive and update it to 10.5.6. You can then compare 10.5.6 with 10.5.7 on the same hardware and if the problem goes away, you have your 10.5.6 to clone over the 10.5.7.
If the problem does not go away, then you know that it's not 10.5.7 and you have saved a lot of time.
If you do find 10.5.6 better, I would suggest cloning the 10.5.7 OS anyway to save time when your 3rd party app is fixed and 10.5.7 compatible.

    Hello Neygotsole,
    Having your device malfunction can certainly be frustrating. After reviewing your post, it sounds as though your device is experiencing multiple issues. I have located an article that can help with software issues. Have you attempted to restore the device to factory settings without restoring from a backup? Test the issue on a new installation, and make sure that it works. Then use the same article to restore from your backup to either verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup itself.

  • HELP! How do I back out of ios7 on my iPhone 4S??

    Just upgraded my perfect 4s iphone to IOS7.  The new GUI is cumbersome and counterintuitive for ease of use. 
    The screen graphics are sloppy and washed out.   This just dramatically changed the iPhone functionality in a negative way.  Is apple or Verizon going to give us our money back??
    Always considered apple products smart and super user friendly right out of the box.  iOS 7 destroys that. 
    Showed the phone today to several iPhone friends and they can't believe the new look and how horrible it is.  All said they won't allow the upgrade.  
    The only good thing from this is now you have a quick toggle to turn blue tooth and wi if on and off.  Everything else *****.
    Apple HAS to supply a method of backing out of the iOS 7 upgrade. 
    ANYONE KNOW WHAT TO DO?

    You cannot - there is not, and never has been any supported means of downgrading iOS.

  • Horrors: How do I get all my original photo files back out of iPhoto 9.1.2?

    In my heart I KNEW I should never have upgraded iPhoto when the update came in for 9.1.2. But I had no idea what it was going to do. Now, to my horror, I have found out.
    It has EATEN all the original photo files in my Home/Pictures folder and hidden them inside a single iPhoto database! Yikes.
    I discovered this nightmare when I tried to find the original hi-res of a certain photo, and searched my Mac for it by filename – the one assigned to it by my camera.
    All the original and modified versions of the file should have appeared in the search box – but no original appeared, sending me into a total panic. I also searched my laptop and back-up drive to no avail. Then I looked in the Home/Pictures folder and there were no photo files there, when there used to be hundreds. Just one single iPhoto Library file.
    I felt sick, I thought I had lost all my original photos.
    So now I have two problems, and questions:
    1) iPhoto only displays photos from the last 18 months, so how do you access all the photos from years back now?
    2) How can I export ALL my photos back out of the iPhoto database so I can have them where I can see them on my Mac again – as individual files in my Pictures folder like they were before?
    Oh, and one other question:
    What can I use instead of iPhoto? Can I revert to an earlier version? Or is there an application that I can import photos to that will leave the original files where they are? Then I can make a back-up of the originals before importing them into iPhoto.
    Thanks,
    Sarah   
    PS: How do I change my Apple Discussions username?

    There's no reason to use the Finder to access your photos. That's what iPhoto is for.  THe following is from a post by Terence Devlin on accessing photos for use outside of iPhoto.  It's the definitive treatise on the subject.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running: 
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation   which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3.Show File:
    a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 
    b. On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • 10.5.2 kicks me back out when I log in

    I've updated my MacBook from 10.5.2 to 10.5.2, and now when I log in as my usual user, I don't get as far as the desktop before I get kicked back out again. It's hard to tell what's going on, too, as I'm getting vast amounts of segmentation faults for "mdworker" thrown into my system log all the time. That being said, I've attached a log of me logging in below. Anyone got any ideas? I can log in as a different user with admin privilege, so I may be able to start getting rid of things from my usual user account if I know what to get rid of...
    The update worked fine on my iMac, with a very similar user account (thank goodness!)
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks; I did try most of that last night, though it didn't work, unfortunately. I eventually tracked the problem down to some bizarre corruption in the Launch Services database, as discussed here (where you've also replied, thanks!):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6593435#6593435
    ...so even moving all the user's stuff to one side and deleting and recreating the account didn't work. The only thing I can guess is that the LaunchServices database/cache must have something in it tied to the user's uid, which doesn't get cleared out when that user is deleted. LaunchServices was fine for everyone else, but broke even for a completely new user with a new name that got created with the problem uid. Nasty.
    It was pretty lucky I had a safe Admin account hanging around for just such moments as these (and also pretty lucky that I'm a hardcore geek, really )

  • I want to upgrade my 2007 Mac desktop to 10.5 Leopard. I am currently running on 10.4.11. I have put the leopard disk into the drive and all it does is make a weird noise and then spits the disk right back out. It doesn't do this with other disks. HELP

    I want to upgrade my 2007 Mac desktop to 10.5 Leopard. I am currently running on 10.4.11. When I put the leopard disk into the drive all it does is make a weird noise and then spits the disk right back out. It doesn't do this with any other discs, only this software. Is it still possible to update this computer?

    Yes. Try Amazon.
    Before you do upgrade to Snow Leopard, make sure your Mac meets the requirements.
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
    Make sure the disc you tried using doesn't have any fingerprints or smudges on it. The optical drive can't read the disk otherwise.
    If your Mac won't read the disc, might be a good idea to rule out any problems with the startup disk BEFORE trying to upgrade the system.

  • Once 10.9.1 is loaded onto my MacBook Pro and it has accessed all my files; is there anyway to back out of the relationship?  I don't want my data on iCloud - how do I make that happen?  Many thanks for any help.

    Sorry but I know of no way of not backing up for a PC.

  • Why does the new iOS 8.0.2 software refresh your apps if you back out to text or check another app? It's frustrating and its racking up my data charges and I really don't like it!

    look I updated my phone to iOS 8.0.2 and now any time I back out of an app to text someone or check on another app it refreshes the page (if I'm on the internet) or the app and it's really annoying. If someone could please tell me how to fix this or just help get a new software up please do. It is racking up my data usage with all the refreshing and its getting really annoying and expensive.
    Thank you.

    Same issue here both with my iphone 5S as well as my iPad2. THe sync to my macbook air does not complete and it shows a large overcapacity level when connected, but once I disconnect there is plenty of room (4 GB) available, not a 20 GB overage. 

  • I have OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard. When I insert the disk and click install it will start to install, then once it gets about 1/4 of the way done my computer restarts and it spits the disk back out.

    I have OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac, I'm trying to install Snow Leopard. When I insert the disk and click install it starts, but when its about 1/4 of the way done the computer restarts and my disk spits back out. When I look to see if it installed it still says 10.5.8. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Akay3,
    Please remember we are not there to see so you have to be much more descriptive. Please complete your profile and indicate which version of OS X is installed, what iMac you own and exactly what CD and/or DVD you are referring to so we have some basic clues.

  • Back out Reader 9.5.1 upgrade/update, restore previous version 9.x

    How can I back out the most recently installed Reader (9.5.1) which is evidently causing a problem in opening links for PDF files from within IE 8 and Firefox 14?
    Thanks.
    Jerry

    You uninstall the unwanted version (from Control Panel), then install the earlier version you want.
    Note that earlier versions may not be secure.

  • I inserted  SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out

    Inadverdently inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out help please

    Happened to me too. Just before I went on holiday and I was clearing off my SD card for my camera. I left it there until I got back (having to buy a new card at the airport) then did a quick search. Found this clip on youTube featuring an L-shaped piece of cardboard trick which worked perfectly for me on second attempt.
    You've got to really blame Apple for the design of the machine when you consider the sheer amount of people who have made this mistake. At least I won't make it again.
