Best way to 'downgrade' from 10.3.9 to 10.3.8

I tried the 10.3.9 update, and it messed up some ProTools and MIDI functions. Turns out ProTools (6.5 and 6.5) is approved only up through 10.3.8. (I already backed up from Quicktime 7 back to QT6, and that didn't help.)
What's the best way to get back to 10.3.8, and only effect the Mac software (I don't want to move any other necesarry files or apps)

Use these instructions to do an Archive & Install of Mac OS X, and then run the Mac OS X 10.38 combo updater. There is no other way of doing this except for running 10.38 and 10.39 on different partitions.

  • What is the best way to downgrade from IOS 5 back to factory installed firmware?

    Recently iTunes prompted me to upgrade my 3rd generation iPod Touch to IOS 5. Biggest mistake ever! I am missing tons of data now and am experiencing ongoing issues syncing my device to the previous library. Over 600 songs will not transfer for one reason or another. How do I undo this monstrosity and return to the factory installed firmware. HINT: I've already done a restore and although it wipes the iPod clean, the new IOS 5 remains.

    Well my reply and solution were deleted by APPLE.
    Leave it to say, I was able togo back to a previous IOS without jail breaking which even I don't know why you do it?
    But apple, this is the last apple product I'm buying. Talk about draconianism.
    Good luck

  • Is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)?

    I found this piece of information: http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/18/downgrade-ios-6-beta-to-ios-5/ Yes, it's about downgrading from iOS 6 beta, not iOS 6, but the way to downgrade to a previous version of iOS is basically the same.
    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 and an iPod touch 4 running iOS 5.1.1 as well. None of them is 'jailbroken'. I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS 6 for exploring it a bit more and reverted back to iOS 5.1.1. How? I did it the way stated by the website I mentioned above: just by Option-Clicking the 'Restore' button on iTunes and select the iOS 5.1.1 software. No need to enter recovery mode or DFU mode whatsoever.
    In fact, Apple doesn't allow users to downgrade to a previous version of iOS: 'Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.' (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694) The reason why I could downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1 may be, as the above website said, 'Typically you can’t downgrade iOS versions so easily, but because Apple is still signing iOS 5.1.1 this allows downgrading to commence with minimal effort.'
    I was wondering whether I could revert all the way from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 (the version that was shipped along with the launch of the iPod touch 4 in September 2010). (for experimental purposes)
    I downloaded the iOS 4.1 (a list of iOS software: http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/30/download-ipod-touch-firmware-ipsw/) and tried Option-Clicking when restoring this iOS 4.1 — no luck. iTunes said 'This device is not eligible for the requested build'. And I did a bit of research and found that there are ways to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1, but it seems you have to jailbreak the device, which is complicated and I don't want to do.
    So, is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)? Thanks in advance.

    No, downgrading from any version of iOS to an earlier version is not supported.

  • What is the best way to print from an iPad?

    I have the Printer Pro app, and it seems to do a good job locating my wireless printer, but it gets complicated to print webpages or pages documents. What is the best way to print from an iPad 2?

    If you have a compatible printer, use AirPrint http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If not, you would need to purchase software, such as:

  • Best way to read from a file

    What would be the best way to read from a file. Which classes do I need to use?
    I have to write a program, which reads data from a comma separated flat file, parse it and after inserting some busineess logic insert into a databse .
    I will have to read the data line by line.
    Any help????

    I would use:
         public void readData()
              try
                   data = new String[this.countRows("comp.txt")][];
                   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("comp.txt"));
                   for(int x = 0; x < data.length; x++)
                        StringTokenizer temp = new StringTokenizer(br.readLine(), "?");
                        data[x] = new String[temp.countTokens()];
                        for(int y = 0; y < data[x].length; y++)
                             data[x][y] = temp.nextToken();
              catch(Exception e)
                   System.out.println(e.toString());
         private int countRows(String f)
              int t = 0;
              try
                   BufferedReader brCountRows = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
                   while(brCountRows.readLine() != null)
                        t++;
              catch(Exception e)
                   System.out.println(e.toString());
                   return t;
              return t;
         }It works deliciously!

  • Best way to go from FCP to After Effects and back?

    Hi guys,
    What's the best way to go from FCP (5) to AE (7)? I'm exporting as a Quicktime Movie, but not self-contained. Then from AE I make a Quicktime Movie
    and drag it back to FCP.
    Is this the best method?
    Thanks

    Thanks Cap'n, but am I losing any resolution this way? And should I be including or excluding markers?
    That is one rich little duck! :P

  • Best way to scan from office jet pro 8600 to mac pro and attach to email

    What is the best way to scan from an officejet pro 8600 printer to a mac pro desktop, attach and scan?

    dunno if you can do it directly, but, assuming the drivers are up-to-date, use Image Capture*, which should get you  a scan, then save it, then when sending the email, click on the paperclip,  and choose whatever it was that you scanned, wherever you saved it....
    and then send it.
    JB
    *Preview might work, but I don't recall 100% if it does...
    don't recall seeing anything that'd let you scan something in, then have it go directly to email and send it out, one-step

  • BEST WAY TO RECORD FROM TV

    Whats the best way to record from TV and then be able to edit the footage, without losing quality?
    Is it with a dvd recorder, how to you get the files off the recorder???
    Thanks
    Simon

    If you already have a digital video camera, you can probably do it without buying anything extra. I have done this by connecting the video output from my able box to an input on my video camera, then connected the camera to the computer using the FireWire cable. I opened iMovie and imported the video from there. Of course, it's a bit of a pain, so I haven't done it often, and the quality is only as good as your camera is capable of. You may need to buy the cable to connect the cable box to the camera, though mine came with such a cable.

  • What is the BEST way to upgrade from Leopard to Tiger?

    My current set-up is noted below. The main "Macintosh HD" is 250 GB's in size and is fairly filled up with programs and plug-ins. (I own Logic Studio 8 and Final Cut Pro Studio 2, as well as Adobe's CS4 Web Premium Suite.)
    Prior to doing the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, I wish to ensure that I get back to my current set-up should any problems arise. Off hand, I can think of a couple of options to chose from to ensure a proper backup :
    1) Cloning the current disk drive on another drive in the Mac Pro prior to the upgrade.
    2) Purchasing a new, larger disk drive for the Leopard upgrade and safely storing the original drive containing Tiger.
    Maybe there are more ways to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard with a dependable "back-up"??
    No matter how I ensure a back-up of my current drive, I will install Leopard as a clean install.
    What would be the BEST way to do the upgrade with proper back-up?
    Thank you in advance for your time and input.

    I suggest the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Best way to encode from mini dvd's for FCP

    My mom has a few mini DVD's that she wants me to edit for her. The DVD's are from the Sony DCR-DVD610. So my question is, what is the best way to bring the footage into FCP? Should I use Handbrake, or the MPEG Streamclip, or another program? Also, what settings should I use to encode them for use in FCP?

    The "make dv" option in Streamclip works reasonably well for me.

  • What is the best way to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.7

    I am trying to figure out the best way to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8 to the new Lion 10.7. From what I have heard so far, I need to get a copy of snow leopard first so I have the APP Store then download Lion. Has anyone heard of a bundled package to accomplish this?

    Apple is currently only making Lion available for download.  You'll have to accquire a copy of Snow Leopard first and upgrade to it.  Once you are on Snow Leopard, update your Mac with all of the current updates, which will then give you the App Store.  From the App Store you'll be able to download and install Lion.  I strongly advise backing up your system first prior to the update.
