Can we erase 3.2.1 version and get the 3.1.0 back?

We did an erase and install due to freezing up....it was working fine, then we did the update to Safari 3.2.1 and it is freezing up (not just on safari though) - we want to try to go back to old version and entirely erase the newer one and see if that works. Is that possible without doing a entire "erase and install" again?

Yes you can. I've just done it- TWICE ! (Like an idiot I reinstalled 3.2.1 when the auto update came through.)
You'll need your original OS leopard OS disc. First you'll need to delete files including and related to Safari: Go to the Macintosh HD and to library folder. in there go to a folder caller receipts and remove anything related to Safari to trash (I should point out I didn't have anything but the Apple support guy told me to do this and moved on when there was nothing related to Safari there, but you might have something)
Go to your applications folder and drag the safari application to trash (do not delete at this stage) Open your home folder (looks like a house with your name on it) and drag the safari folder to trash (this contains plists and will be important to reinstall from later so don't delete yet!).
Insert your OS disc and open the mounted image. In there you will see a folder called optional installs below the install. Double click the pkg (open box) to open and select the applications arrow to see the list of applications to install. check safari and install.
If your bookmarks have been deleted (as mine were) open the safari folder in the trash and drag the bookmarks.plist to desktop. In the home folders safari folder, remove the new booklist to trash. Drag your old bookmark.plist from desktop to the folder you're replacing. reopen safari and you'll see you have Safari 3.1.2, nice and trouble free!
Just remember not to do the software update until they sort it out!
(I should mention I have no tech expertise, i'm simply relating what the apple support guy did for me and I noted down- sorry if it doesn't work for you!)

  • I have an old version of the Logic in cds. Can I just download a new version and give the serial number so I don't have to pay twice?

    I have an old version of the Logic in cds. Can I just download a new version and give the serial number so I don't have to pay twice?

    No..
    You cannot download any version of Logic that you bought on CDs.... You must reinstall it using the disks that came with the boxed set.
    The only downloadable version now is Logic Pro X....which, like everyone else.... you must buy via the App Store... as it is a new version and there is no upgrade from any other version.

    I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

    Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
    Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
    On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
    Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
    Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
    Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
    Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
    Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
    Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
    After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled NO
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Log out or restart the computer.

  • Can we call a transaction in background and get the list in report?

    I want to call the standard T-Code MC.9 from a report in background using Call Transaction and get the list in the report.There are some enhancement done to its base program RMCB0300 due to which if I use Submit ... exporting to memory and then import the list from memory, the result doesnt match to the values given by T-Code MC.9.
    The option apparently for me is to use Call Transaction method, but if I use Call transaction method, how do I make the report to be executed in background and then get the resultant list in the report?

    Copy the program in Z and than modify it saving the list on memory on database table.

  • I by mistake redeemed my app on my brothers account, can i cancel it on my brother and get the apps on my account?, i by mistake redeemed my app on my brothers account, can i cancel it on my brother and get the apps on my account?

    i recently got an app as a gift but by mistake i redeemed it on my brothers ipod. i want to redeem it on my own id ,is it possible to cancel the first gift and redeem it on the id i want to?

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

  • How can I wait till data is loaded and get the latest entities in HTML CLient

    This is my first try using a JavaScript component. I found a nice timeline-Scheduler on github:
    Timeline Javascript Scheduler
    I made an nearly empt new Screen and I am using LS only to get the data and to switch to the next date.
    This works fine for the first date I set in the created.
    But if I change to the next day, there are still the just loaded records. When I switch again to the following date I get the records from the day before...
    myapp.dispo.divcontainer_render = function (element, contentItem) {
    // We need this div for the timeline
    $(element).append('<div class="calendar"></div><div class="realtime-info"></div>');
    //Bind to the date
    contentItem.dataBind("screen.suchDispodat", function (value) {
    var querydat = value;
    var items = [];
    var sections = [];
    //The querydat is set to the right date but the records I get are from the last executed query.
    contentItem.screen.getQuerydispobydatfahrerorderfahrer(querydat).then(function (result) {
    var dispos = result.data;
    dispos.forEach(function (dispo) {
    How can I bind the refresh to something like data loaded?

  • ITunes match says "matched" I delete the song to download better version and get the same bit rate

         HI,
    title says it all. :-) I made a smart playlist to filter out the tracks that I can upgrade to a better version. This worked well for most of my library but there are a couple of songs that are listed at 128kbps. I delete these and then click on the cloud icon. While downloading itunes lists them at 256 but then revert to 128!
    A bug? Should I report it or are other users having the same problem?
    Cheers,
    Philly

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

  • When I downloaded Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 I lost all my Bookmarks. I went back to using the older version and get the message that it is no longer supported or covered by virus protection. Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • Version 10 doesn't work with a web site I use constantly. How can I download a lower version and have the app appear on my phone?

    Have been using a lower version of firefox on my samsung galaxy phone to access [email protected] for quite some time. Since the upgrade to 10.0, I receive a server error everytime I try to access. Want to download a lower version, but app doesn't appear on my phone. How can I download a lower version and get the app to show up on my phone?

    Mandel is referring to what is called a "User Agent Faker' which tricks the website into thinking it is a different browser or version than it actually is. I sometimes would use this on my iPhone when I wanted to visit the full website of a site I was attempting to go to & it would only take me to the mobile version or state it was only compatible with say Internet Explorer, simply turn it on & select the browser and details you want it to report and it will spoof that browser & you'll be on your way.
