IOS 8.3 uses too much battery power. Can I remove it and go back to the previous operating system?
Downgrading is not supported.
As a test, restore as a new phone, not from a backup, and see if the battery life is better. You can restore from a backup after your test. -
I own an iPhone 4S and have installed ios8. Subsequently none of my apps will work. How do I uninstall and go back to the previous operating system?
Good luck at the Genius bar.
I have figured out that if I do a hard restart of the phone the apps will work for a time, but then they begin to all freeze up again after a short time.
This may be a problem of not enough free storage. Have you checked the storage used by your apps?

How can i get rid of Beta and go back to the earlier version?
Where is the link/command to uninstall the beta version i agreed to try a few weeks ago?
Among other issues:
i can't read the pale-on-pale buttons and tabs;
crashes regularly;
creates random pop-ups that block my work and cannot be removed.
(i do not want help to make it work better. i want it off my computer, please!)
Thank youDo a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

Yosemite looks like a downgrade, flat, childish and no more ability to make the view of anything personal. How do I go back to the previous operating system?
Erase your hard drive using Disk Utility from the Recovery HD, then restore your old system from your backups.

Adobe asked to update on my computer, so I said yes, but somehow in the process this "Mysearchdial managed to install itself. I think I've mostly got rid of it, but it reset my homepage and the New tab page still shows "mysearchdial" in the bottom left corner. How do I go back to my previous settings before this infection?

i was using the previous version of firefox and it worked fine,
the new version firefox 5 came up to down load so i did this and now when i press the firefox icon all that comes on screen is a blank firefox window....purple surround with blank window..
i have vista basic...Your profile might have been corrupted during the upgrade. I suggest trying a new profile. Close Firefox, then on the Windows start menu, type or paste this into the Run or search box:
<br>firefox.exe /ProfileManager
Create a new profile, which will be more or less plain vanilla. Assuming that works normally, you can move key settings like bookmarks from your problem profile to the new profile, see: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
If that doesn't work, here's the process to roll back.
Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: When you first start up, you might be in the new blank profile. In that case, close Firefox and use the profile manager to switch back to your default profile. -
hi guys.... i hate icloud! i dont even remember setting it up! i dont want to use it. i just want to download movies and tv programmes to my PC and not to Icloud which it keeps doing. someone just help me!!! thank you
You can download your movies and tv shows to your iTunes library (depending on your location) as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.
What you are seeing is "iTunes in the Cloud", which is a separate service that allows you to download previously purchased media from the iTunes and App store. This does not require setting up an iCloud account so it's likely you don't have one. (If you don't want to see this previously purchased media available for download in your iTunes library, you can open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Store and uncheck "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".) -
Shame I just took Apple Macs recommendations to upgrade to iOS7 pages don't open the same, graphics are inferior, applications do not auto rotate and therefore do not fit in the screen. That will teach me to trust the so called experts!
Jeeze you should of been there 15 years ago! Moving between apps was a real pain. Now I don't find it that bad at all. I imagine that part of the reason they don't combine all of the apps is because not everyone needs all of the features etc for every project, and combining them all would require a huge chunk of memory to run. I'd imagine it'd be pretty cumbersome as well.
But I do wish that they'd make things work the same way (drawing tools same in flash and illustrator for example) -
How do I get rid of "INBOX" and go back to "GOOGLE"?
I can't get rid of "INBOX" and go back to "GOOGLE" when I open Firefox. The posted solutions requires me to start by entering about:config in the location bar. I don't have the foggiest notion of what the Hell is a location bar and what the next step means: "in the filter at the top......". Don't have any idea how this got changed during the last day or so, but it is extremely irritating and THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO GET A REAL LIVE PERSON TO FIX THIS ISSUE.
Also note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
# Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
# Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove all (older) version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and (re)install the latest Flash player.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to <b>ask.com</b> and reset user set (bold) <b>ask.com</b> prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Is there anyway I can get rid of Lion and get back to Snow Leopard?
Is there anyway I can get rid of Lion and get back to Snow Leopard?
Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
Disconnect other drives except the sole backup drive.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire boot disk of ALL DATA.
(warning, everything will be gone and not recovered, OS, programs, files, Windows etc all gone.)
Note: You might want to hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk and use Disk Utility to format the new blank external drive instead of using OS X Lion if that's hosed. Then reboot into Lion and copy files, may be safer that way.
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP there, don't install OS X yet.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same drive name as before, and click Erase...
(note: if you want to "scrub" the drive of old files that haven't been overwritten yet, then use the Security Option > Zero Erase, takes a lot longer)
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly recommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a new HFS+Journaled external drive (used only for this purpose) as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails. -
I was trying to bookmark a page, using the "Choose" menu in the bookmarks. I must have touched a key by accident, and a box with a blue outline & the name of one of my folders appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. At first the box contained the folder name, then I was trying to delete the box, and erase the name, thinking it might get rid of the box, but it didn't. I can't get rid of this box! It obstructs the view of what is underneath. It stays in the same position as I scroll up & down in the drop-down menu, and it hides what is underneath. Please help me get rid of this box. It is driving me crazy! Thanks!
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I get rid of this new 7.0.2 update and go back to the previous one and how can I register a complaint with Apple?
You can't go back.

Every ten minutes a popup on my 4s appears saying "unable to download" with the option of "done" or "retry". I can't get rid of it and I can't find out what it's trying to do! theres noting pending on the App Store or iTunes. Nothing failed. I've reset my settings. Logged out and back into itunes. It's really annoying as rinsing my data!
After talking to Apple for 3 hours I figured it out myself.
Tre here was a singular failed song on iTunes on the computer that was trying to download and messing everything up. Maybe if you use iTunes on the computer and have a little mooch you'll find the same thing. I think it was hidden in the purchased part of it -
I can't get rid of icons in Places -- according to the manual, you're supposed to be able to just drag them off and they go "Pouf!” and disappear. But no...
Just "ctrl" and mouseclick the desired icon and select "Remove from Sidebar" from the little pop up window.. That should do the trick (in your vertical "PLACES" column)
NB: if you want to get rid of icons on the top (horizontal) bar of your finder window, then you need to go to the item with the mouse, press "cmd" ("apple" key) and drag the icon off the finder window onto your desktop and let go (if you want the "Pouf!" effect

SAP data collection framework - owner change
Hi, in the data collection framework there is an owner assigned to all data collectors. In general the owner is the SID system itself. If another system (i.e. solman) is connected to the system, the owner of the data collector changes to that system.
