Can I uninstall an update and go back to older the version ?

hi i have a macbook pro intel and i am using Mac osx 10.5.8, now i have a apple wireless keyboard, recently i just installed the "alluminium keyboard update 2" after which my keypad has stopped responding, i request is some one can offer a help ..... i just want to uninstall this update and go back to the older version .....     

Hi,
One simple way would be to completely uninstall your keyboard drivers, updated that they are, and reinstall from scratch, then deny the unwanted updates the right to install.
Another way is to get details about the culprit by using Terminal and typing the following commands:
grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update_list.txt
(This will get you a list of software updates you've installed on you Mac, in text format, directly on your Desktop)
Then:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/swupd/html/xxx-xxxx/
(Where "xxx-xxxx" stands for the actual update number you want to delete)
You'll have to reboot your Mac, and hope that the rollback that will ensue will take place without a glitch. You may find your keyboard unresponsive at first, time for the system to fetch the old driver back from it was stored.

  • How do i uninstall firefox 4 and go back to my last version?

    I want to uninstall this version firefox 4 and go back to my old version. Firefox 4 does not support my gamers unite snagbar add on for farm ville and i want it back

    For uninstalling Firefox 4 see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
    Make sure you do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data" as that option will delete all of your bookmarks, passwords etc.
    You can re-install Firefox 3.6.15 from http://www.mozilla.com though judging by your user agent string you still have 3.6.15 installed.

    Clearing cache is a poor thing to do to improve system performance.
    In fact, when you clear cache you actually slow your system down until cache is reloading again.
    Yes, it is true cache can get corrupt and have to be cleared. This happens so infrequently that it is almost never a required solution unless you have problems that are specific to corrupt cache.
    By the way why are you replying to my post when in fact your comments have nothing to do with my post at all.

  • I wish to uninstall firefox 6 update and go back to my original version so that my Norton toolbar will work. How do I do this?

    I need the Norton toolbar, which was available until a few minutes ago when the latest update came in for firefox. Anyway, I would like the toolbar enabled or the means to undo the update. Help

    The policy of totally ending support of the previous version seems incredibly unfriendly to users -- to the extent that this policy is likely to drive many long time users (like me) to other browsers. Although I can understand that EVENTUALLY support for very older versions cannot be justified; however, when a new version causes multiple and severe disruption incidents of web browsing, there really should be some way to revert back a version or two or three. As soon as I updated to version 6 a few days ago, I suddenly began experiencing "hangs" (freezes) on several web sites. The FireFox policy seems to be that everything else in the world needs to be "upgraded" to be compatible with FireFox's newest version. Well, sorry ... I dislike being forced to expend countless hours trying to "upgrade" not only add-ons but other software and perhaps hardware too ... because suddenly so much is incompatible to the newest FireFox! I had a long list of incompatible add-ons that will not work with the newest FireFox and not a single one had an update that would resolve the situation. Yet FireFox's published comments seem to deny that the problem is in their newest version -- FireFox is okay, everything else has a problem. Well, the simple solution to that is to junk FireFox and use a different browser!

  • How can I delete latest update and go back to old one

    I have had nothing but trouble with the new update to 3.1.3 and want it OFF my phone. I want to delete it and just go back to business as usual. Does any one know how to do it? I was told that if I just do a restore, it will reinstall the latest version of OS any way. I hate the new mess I have with latest update.
    HELP!!!

    sorry, but it just looked like this last update was not ready to release and has caused so much trouble that Apple would have a fix or allow us to revert to previous level.
    You are probably not well enough informed to decide whether an upgrade is 'ready to release'. Remember there are millions of iPhones upgraded and only a very small minority with issues - many of which pre-existed 3.1.3
    I haven't had phone for very long now, but it is very frustrating to have a defective OS and phone. I would have thought this would be the place to do things LEGALLY, not hack the phone like I see on GOOGLE
    Hacking the phone is the only way to revert unless you have backups. Hacking the phone is not something that is discussed in these forums.
    You haven't even posted your problems so perhaps start there ?

  • I wish to uninstall firefox 6 update and go back to my original version so that my AVG Security will work. How do I do this?

    I habe Wimdows 7 and AVG as my security. The most recent Firefox download disable my security. So must I dump the update for Firefox. switch to IE or can you fix this?

    The AVG Safe Search toolbar is disabled because AVG has not updated it to be compatible with Firefox 6. ''''' Your AVG protection is still working, just the toolbar is not.'''''
    *See on AVG forum site: http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=171050
    Firefox has a similar built in function to protect you while browsing but it will not show an indicator on search results pages. If you try to load a page/site that is known by the '''''Safe Browsing''''' component in Firefox to be a malicious site, you will see a warning and have the option to (1) not load/proceed to the site, (2) get information about why the site is rated a dangerous, or (3) ignore the warning and proceed to the site anyway.

  • How can I uninstall ilife 06 and go back to ilife 05?

    At least for idvd, it is such a pain. I need to get a project burned to dvd, and even though the sound files are playing in idvd and they are in the file, the sound files do not play when the dvd is burned.
    I've wasted too many DVD's and too much time trying to figure out what the problem is.
    Tried to install idvd 5 from the ilife 05 disk. It goes through the motions but didn't do anything.
    What files need to be deleted first?

    Are you really still running OS 10.3.8 as shown in your profile?
    My Panther machine is at 10.3.9.
    I'm only trying to run the iLife '06 applications on my Tiger machine with 10.4.4
    BTW, the iLife '06 box says "v10.3.9 or v10.4.3 or later. v10.4.4 recommended"
    If you really are still at 10.3.8, that might account for your problems.

  • Is there a way to uninstall iTunes 10 and go back to a working version?

    I installed iTunes 10 when it came up a couple of days ago, and unfortunately it doesn't work. Specifically, I can apparently no longer connect to the iTunes Store, either through the computer or through the iPod. I haven't yet tried to sync my iPod - I'm afraid something will go wrong there as well.
    As far as I can see, I don't have any earlier, working version of the iTunes software on my hard drive, so there's nothing to install in place of the defective version. Are there archives of the earlier versions somewhere that can be used to roll back the installation to something that works?

    I'd make sure you uninstall all the associated parts and pieces. The easiest way to do this is to go to programs from the control panel, then sort the list by publisher. Scroll down and start uninstalling - starting with iTunes, then QT, then the remainder. From reading other support and forum articles, it is important to start from scratch. I'd also run a registry cleaner to help improve the outcome (but not required). You can find a 9.2.x iTunes by googling for it. I agree with a previous post on this thread about exporting your library/lists. However, another way to do this is found here - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451. I found this the easiest as if when you first start iTunes 9.2.x, it complains about the iTunes.itl file being created by a newer version of iTunes.

  • How can I uninstall iOS 7.0.4 and go back to my previous version on iPad

    I installed a software update on my husbands iPad...and the whole look of everything changed... He hates it. Is there a way to uninstall the software update and go back to his previous version? and please understand that we both are not very computer literate, so make it simple if possible. Thanks for help please!

    Remember, I am computer illiterate, so I'm sorry if I sound stupid but is iOS 7.0.4 what I updated to? It just said there was a software update available, so I just started the download. The look of everything changed including hid calendar that he uses for his business...we are old and he doesn't understand it. I was just assuming that the iOS 704 thing was new. Could it be any other kind of update that's reversible? Thank you for your time!

  • HT1444 Is there a way to undo an update and go back to prior version?

    Is there a way to undo an update and go back to a previous version? I installed the latest version of 10.7.4 (?) on my iPhone (4s) but I hate it. I was warned by another user not to update. She said I would regret it. I should've listened.
    1)The Icons are lighter in color with tiny print on them - resembling a bunch of light colored boxes without meaning.
    2) I used to be able to double-click the home button, press-and-hold a running icon at the bottom and deselect all that were running to prolong my battery life, but I can't figure out how to do that now.
    I am reluctant to update my iPad now. I think I will readjust my settings to make the updates "hidden".

    Unfortunately there isn't a downgrade path. However, to improve legibility go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn 'Larger Type' on and make adjustments there. Also you can turn the 'Bold Text' option on.
    To close down apps, double-tap the Home button as before and any open apps will appear as a reduced sized window of the app. Stroke that window 'up' and the app will close down.

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.
