Can't go back to 10.6.3 from 10.6.7

So we have 7 MacBook Pro's at my office who are all at 10.6.7. I was trying to create a bootable system disk on our mac mini server so I can do all installs from it. But when I put the DVD that came with the MacBook Pro to try to re-image it for a test, it tells me it can't be installed on the hard drive. I reformatted the hard drive and tried again - same error message. It seems like it doesn't like me trying to install an older OS when the newer version is installed.
Is there any way to revert the MacBook Pro's back to an older OS version so I can test the netboot install?

Are you trying to install the OS over the 10.6.7 installation or to a blank partition in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
Yes, I do realize you said you're formatting it but just double checking as it could be a partition you're formatting and attempting to install over the 10.6.7 again.

Can i roll back to Acrobat 9 Standard from Acrobat X Standard?

Can i roll back to Acrobat 9 Standard from Acrobat X Standard? I bought Acrobat X license and want to roll back to 9.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have the Acrobat 9 Standard media?
Do you have an Acrobat 9 Standard serial number?
If not, then that's a non-starter.
You'll need to talk to Adobe provided that is who you actually purchased the software and not a reseller.
If yes, then it is a matter of removing Acrobat X first
Rebooting the machines
Then reinstalling Acrobat 9 Standard.

HT5429 How can I set back phone settings to go from a searched location in safari to apple maps rather than google directions?

How can I set back phone settings to go from a searched location in safari to apple maps rather than google directions?

Click Here enter destinations, link to page in iWeb or iFrame it by clicking on "Link to Page" from Google map. This may seem ironic but if you are looking for something the best way to find it is by searching Google. For instance Googling "google map directions" will send you to referenced page. for a sub-$20 app I find it hard to believe you find it hard to believe Apple hasn't integrated this feature into the software.
Hope that helps!

How can I revert back to version 5.1 from 6.1. Bluetooth support told me that version 6.1 is not supported. I highly doubt it. My voice recognition reconizes " Call my wife command".

I just bought a new car. Hyundia Hybrid. My bluetooth is not Reconizing my command to call a contact. I've been back to the dealer and no luck. When speaking to Bluetooth support directly he doesn't see Version 6.1. and suggested going back to Version 5.1 which is documented to be compatable with my Iphone 4s.
I doubt it because voice recognition takes the command " Call Wife" Can I revert back to 5.1 without clearing my phone back to origional settings?

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

Can I switch back to my old iPhone from Droid?

So, I had an iphone for two years and loved it. When my contract was up, something possessed me to try a Droid. Well, now I am experiencing major remorse. I want my iphone back. I still have the old phone. Can I switch back to it? I know that Droid and iphone use different kinds of cards or something, so I know it's not as easy as replacing a sim card, but is it possible? How much would it cost? Thank you!!!

Before you decide to change back, bear in mind that the iPhone 3G is not supported for the latest iOS version so you will be out of the loop for some of the more recent features available to 3GS and iPhone 4 unless you upgrade your hardware to 3GS or 4.

How can I "Put Back" a time machine backup from the trash to my external hard drive?

Basically what happened was I accidentally put an older time machine backup from my external hard drive into the trash on my macbook. Since then, time machine has made new backups onto my external hard drive. How can I either "Put Back" or replace the deleted backup back into my hard drive?
Whenever I try to move it it says "A newer item named “Backups.backupdb” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the older one you’re moving?" I click replace and after a few minutes of loading, it says "Cannot replace. An item named "" already exists."

As long as you don't delete the trash, the files should be recoverable.
I suspect using the Put Back command could take a long time, so be patient.
If your Time Machine backups are mixed with your daughter's backups you might want to buy a larger drive and move the Time Machine files to the new drive.
Regarding missing photos in iPhoto...There might be options to rebuild/recover that data from iPhoto rather than trying to revert to a Time Machine backup.
Check out this third party app, iPhoto Library Manager. It has a demo.
http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
Options for a larger drive.
I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. Works on USB 2.0 ports. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.
I don't recommend Western Digital because of the boot problem with some of their drives.
LaCie makes good drives.
All Mac formatted drives will cost more and it’s easy to reformat with Disk Utility. Do not use the software that comes with the drives. It’s recommended that you use Apple’s Disk Utility.
Prices vary but this gives you an idea of what you’ll find. As you notice the second and third TB is usually only $15 more per TB. Normally, you’ll find these prices but right now the 1T is more than the 2T
Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 $85
Seagate Backup Plus 2 TB USB 3.0 $99
Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB USB 3.0 $115
I have seen the 3T on sale for $99.
Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.

HT1533 How can I switch back to Mac OS X from Windows 7 Bootcamp?

I'm having problem switching back to Mac OS on my Macbook Air. It's currently running Windows 7 bootcamp without a Mac OS installed with it. I tried booting up on Mac OSX installer disc (Snow Leopard) on the external CDROM drive but it boots to Windows instead. I tried the Boot Camp Control Panel on Windows and Restart to Mac OS X but it could not find an OS X intalled and I tried changing the startup disc to the installation disc on the CDROM and restarted but still goes to Windows.
Please HELP!
Thank you.

The MBA did not ship with an OS on DVD because they don't have an optical drive. There are two kinds of OS disks - commercial release, which for Snow Leopard is 10.6.3 I believe, and machine specific. If your SL disk is gray it isn't going to boot your MBA because it isn't made for the MBA. If your SL disk has a cat on it look at what specific version it is. As I said, I think it is 10.6.3 and while I wasn't able to find out what specific OS version your MBA shipped with, I'm pretty sure it was a version later than 10.6.3 and if I'm right your disk isn't going to boot the computer. You'll need to either contact Apple for a valid replacement installer or find someone with a Mac who can make a valid installer on a USB drive or DVD.

HT4943 I can't get back to my main screen from newsstand.

I have to switch my ipad off and on to get back to the main screen. Does anyone know a way round this?

Perhaps you have already found a solution by now. If not, just single tap the home key and you come back to your homescreen and the newsstand disappears. It is not an app that can be swiped away, it is a collection of individual magazine apps that is shown in a newsstand format.

Can you link back to an iweb homepage from a .mac gallery?

Hi,
I'm able to link from my iweb site to my .mac gallery, but how do I get back to my iweb site once I'm there? Can you put a link back from the .mac gallery to my iweb homepage?
Thanks,
Brian

On my page the link to the dotMac webgallery opens in in a new window. So there's no need to link back. Just close the window.
In case the gallery opens in the same window, you have to use the Previous page button.
You cannot add a link anyway, since there's no page to edit. The page(s) are created bij dotMac.
If you're curious: iDisk>Web>Sites>_gallery

If I downgrade to Snow Leopard can time machine back-up my latest memory from Lion and keep it in Snow leopard?

Will only the latest time machine back-up from SL work or can a back-up with lion be suitable in SL (when downgraded)?

Just did the downgrade, but Migration Assistant don't let you rescue any kind of information from the Time Machine backup. It just tells you to upgrade your system. I'm feelling like trying to downgrade my iPhone 3G from iOS 4 to 3. Impossible. Pretty f***** up...

How can I switch back to OS X Lion from Mountain lion?

I have a Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4, and it stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion. Instead of music coming out of the speakers, it is a repetetive crackling noice and the track stops and goes. I just want to downgrade so I don't have to worry about the problem until they come out with an update. I have a performance coming up and I need everything to work! Thanks.

Actually you are right, i ll stay on Mountain Lion. I have a problem with AppStore here is the link of my problem i post it a few minute ago.
