Can you roll back updates?

I've recently had a notification on my Xperia T to say it had a software update available. So I installed it today. It's perhaps a bit more modern but it's terribly annoying. For a start it deleted the android browser with all of my bookmarks, which was pretty annoying, but mostly it's the way the keyboard works. I use the swiping method mainly and it worked everywhere and was very intuitive. The new one is garbage. For a start it doesn't work on Google and YouTube and doesn't offer close matches if you got it slightly wrong. Often it won't get basic words and doesn't offer alternatives. It's horrid.
Can I roll back the update (please say yes).

So as far as I can make out. My first problem is the keyboard. When I used to type it would show alternatives in case a word was misspelled. This new one jumps straight to inaccurate predictions for what you type next, so if you've made an error you have to tap your way back to the misspelling. This is crap.
Also you get the full functionality of the keyboard on Facebook and forums and the url bar of the browser. But you don't get it on Google searches. So you start swiping and nothing happens. This is crap.
Could someone explain why you have different functionality of the keyboard on various sites, whereas it used to be one excellent keyboard for everything and also explain how this constitutes progress?
Cheers.

  • Can you roll back the iMovie 9.0.6 update as it has trashed iMovie for me?

    Since the auto update of iMovie to 9.0.6 I cannot open iMovie and more - it just crashes every time trying to import the projects.  I either need to KILL all old projects or roll back iMovie so that it is usable!!!
    I found the answer at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18684126#18684126 once I placed the question!
    Thanks all

    There's a workaround ..   delete the currently installed iMovie app. Then reinstalling will give you iMove 9.0.6.
    Use this free utiilty to uninstall iMovie >  Download AppCleaner for Mac
    Once it's uninstalled, you can re download iMovie for free using the same Apple ID it was originally purchased from.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.

  • I updated vietmobile remote files app. this app is broken on iOS 5.1.1 I do not have a backup of the previous version of the (paid) app, how can I roll back to the previous version? Is there a repository of previous versions? Am I boned?

    I updated vietmobile remote files app. this app is broken on iOS 5.1.1 I do not have a backup of the previous version of the (paid) app, how can I roll back to the previous version? Is there a repository of previous versions? Am I boned?
    Seems silly to not allow a rollback from a file repository of previous app versions.

    >All apps are tied to the account that downloaded it, so to be able to sync back the previous version you would need to still have your copy of that version
    I'm not sure I follow, I have not sync'd the ipad with my computer. I just saw an update in the app store and took it.
    I tried to del and install the app from the purchased tab in the app store, that reinstalled v2.1 of the app. This also fails to launch.
    I have made two service requests to the developer, no response at this time.
    Is there somewhere I can download and install Remote Files version 2 file? I can only find the new version 2.1 in the app store.

    - it's all said in the title. I can't understand why the developers turn things bad ... risking loosing Apples valuable customers.
    More examples needed? (check out the communities and the reviews)
    - OSX: Maverick to Yosemite = not recommended (check it out > http://roaringapps.com/apps)
    - iPad: older versions as iPad2 should not upgrade to iOS7/8 (it's not supporting its hardware accordingly, it's designed for the latest hardware)
    - iTunes (it's possible to rollback to 10.7 - 11.4, but you need to breech OSX system security framework)
    - Pages (was a real alternative for many of us, each update reduced features and created incompatibility to older work files)
    The list could easily extend to ...

    You can offer Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    as for "

    dream on.

  • How to roll back update 5.0.1? I really can't stand this update

    Is it possible to roll back update 5.0.1 to 5.0? iPhone update 5.0.1 completely screwed up my phone. It's actually not a iPhone any more, but an iPod but at at 7x price.

    If you applied update directly to phone itself rather than from itunes by syncing you can roll it back.  Simply go into settings and perform a reset and erase all.  Then sync phone up with computer and perform a restore but do not accept option when it asks if you want to download and update os software for phone! 
    My wife was prompted on phone itself to update software & she did it without consulting with me first.  I simply reset the thing and restored to previous backup which was on ver 5. FYI before I did that I compared the two phones & you could clearly see the problems mentioned in the Associated Press.  
    Incidently Apple I do not appreciate you aggressively sending a software update to the phone directly like that especially when I've specified in my settings otherwise.  An experienced technology professional would know better than to deploy something without insuring its successful functionality.

  • Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

    Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

  • How can I roll back from the latest update - hate it!

    I can't get the quick WYSIWYG bar to show up. I want my old version back. How can I roll back?

    I can't get the quick WYSIWYG bar to show up.
    Not sure what that means.   Can't you switch to Live View or Design View ? See screenshot.
    In Creative Cloud desktop app, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.

  • Can you revert back to iPhoto once you updated to Photos

    Can you revert back to iPhoto once you updated to Photos?

    Can you revert back to iPhoto once you updated to Photos?
    The update to Photos leaves iPhoto installed, and also lets the iPhoto Library compatible with iPhoto. It creates a new Photos Library, that is sharing the photos with the iPhoto Library, so it will not need much extra space. You can use both libraries independently of each other. Edits you do in either library will not be visible in the other.
    Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
    Just do not uninstall iPhoto or delete the library, if you want an option to revert back. Also, make a full backup before doing the upgrade.

  • Three days ago I updated my iphone 4s to IOS 7. Many of my apps disappeared and many of them will not even open. Are there any fixes for this nightmare? Can you revert back to the previous IOS 6

  • How Can I Roll Back my iTunes Library?

    I'm guessing it may no tbe possible at all, but here goes.
    What I would like to do with my music estate is roll back my current iTunes library file, automatically updated to iTunes 11 when updated on MPBr when this was my only PC using iTunes. Now I have three and some iOS devices too. My library has been moved from windows machines to macs and is several years old and has received 100s of hours of tweaking to get it just right.
    Now my server is a PowerPC mac and I can only go as far as iTunes 10.6.xx, I want this to be always on and share the library with other PCs accross home sharing (i will sync iPhones over the wi-fi with this PC too, though it may not play with iOS7, so perhaps not).
    I want to see the iTunes library on the macbooks, probably through Home Sharing, I also want to be able to sync the iphones, but only have a single copy of the music files on the server. is this possible? This will just be for when out of the house as I can also use home sharing in the house for music.
    Thanks

    You say you want to do this with multiple devices.  Let's say you have a new iPhone 5 that requires iTunes 11. You will not be able to sync that if your base iTunes is iTunes 10.6 since your hardware will require at least whatever version of iTunes was current at the time of purchase.  You're seeing this with your iOS7 phone.  Anyway, unless all your hardware is old enough to use the lowest version of iTunes you need to run, you may be out of luck.  You cannot share the library.  Sharing media is different, and relatively easy, but it will be complex to ensure all the multiple libraries are kept up to date.
    You also can't roll back iTunes libraries to earlier versions unless you kept a backup of your library from the point to which you wish to revert, or it is still in the previous libraries folder.

  • TS1398 My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?

    My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?
    i Was considerinf buying a macbook pro, but am reconsidering spending such an amount of money on a company that can screw up such a basic function. I mean you can have your iOS 8 back if this is what it means, I don't want to use your health Kit app.

    You cannot 'roll back' your iOS.  That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
    Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
    It's not the iOS.  It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue.  But it's not the iOS.  If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
    Troubleshoot your issue.

    That is definitely odd, grantcool. Let's help restore this important data transfer feature. To confirm, when you connect the USB cable to your phone and computer > Pull down the Notification Bar > Select USB Connected > Can you choose Media Sync (MTP) ?

  • 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.

  • Victim of 1.2.2 upgrade??? can i roll back?

    After upgrading to 1.2.2, my 5G 60G iPod cannot read its own directory beyond the second submenu. In Music, if I click Artists, it goes to All (instead of listing them), click that & it goes to All Albums, click that & it goes to All Songs, nothing else. (Does the iPod think it's empty?) iTunes on my G5 sees all music, playlists, etc. and plays normally. I have reset the iPod numerous times (see below), but am trying to avoid restoring.
    Anyone else see this?
    Can I roll back to 1.2.1? Without restoring?
    Other theory: the Hold button can produce some wacky software issues, similar to Sleep on G4s and G5s with audio programs. I had stored the iPod with the Hold button on before using it. (It seems I am always resetting family members' iPods after using Hold.)
    Thanks!
