Can you un-do an upgrade

my husband installed an upgrade on his iPhone 3 and now texts etc. aren't readable. May be stupid question but can upgrades be reversed?

Downgrading of iOS is Not Supported by Apple.

    If you have ever used TinyUmbrella your HOSTS file could be redirecting the request to a local server or Cydia.

  • MacBook Pro2012 : How can you get hard drive upgraded in Netherlands without losing warranty?

    My MacBook Pro (2012) hard drive is almost full, Apple refuses to provide hard drive upgrade service, how can you get hard drive upgraded in Netherlands without losing warranty?

    Dear Ralph, and All
    My MBP is indeed non-retina.
    I also have Apple care support for 3 years
    I was in touch with Apple suport since last week. Response I got on Phone was pretty astounding (waiting email confirmation). They say following
    - Apple support does not provide such service of upgrading hard drive
    - Doing it yourself means you will lose warranty (due to nature of operation one would need to perform on the computer)
    - None of authorised delars will provide such a service
    So as such there apparantly is no way to get your hard drive upgraded without losing warranty.
    Leaves me a bit perplexed
    I do understand MBP retina (or iPAD / iPhones) are manufactured in way that makes it technically impossible to upgrade certain parts. But why non-retina MBP?
    What do you all think? is this reasonable? is this what a MBP customer would expect?
    Really appreaciate the quick responses i have recieved from you and others on this forum.
    Many thanks

  • Can you stop firefox from upgrading beyond 3.6? My distance education course is in jeopardy if you don't.

    Waterloo University 1 519 888-4567, tells me in no uncertain terms that as of this moment, Firefox 3.6 is the only version that does not cause problems in dealing with distance education students. I have already experienced one such problem and I am desparate... as long as this situation exists... to keep from upgrading my 3.6. Your system refuses to pay any attention to my need, at present, to NOT UPGRADE. It is now planning to force this upgrade on my computer.

    You shouldn't use old versions of Firefox, they are insecure, using them can lead to your private information being stolen. Please update Dashlane to it's latest release.

  • How can you use Win 7 upgrade disk if Boot Camp 4 doesn't support XP or Vista?

    I've just purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade disk to upgrade my Win XP Pro. I haven't installed Lion or Boot Camp 4 yet but am concerned that if I need to reinstall Win 7 in the future the upgrade disk will require that Win XP Pro be installed first.
    If  my Win XP Pro isn't supported and can't be reinstalled in Lion/Boot Camp 4, does anyone know what my options would be?
    Can't get to Microsoft tech support without having a post-install product ID and their forums don't seem to cover this specific question for Mac/Boot Camp users or VMWare/Parallels users. I'm hoping that once activated that might be enough to turn the upgrade disk to a full version for reinstalling, but I'm not betting on it.
    Any help appreciated before I permanently remove my XP Boot Camp partition for a clean install of Win 7 Ultimate.
    Thanks

  • Can you get your storage upgraded on an iTouch?

    I've recently run out of space on my 8GB iPod Touch because I've been expanding my music, and I was wondering if I could go to an Apple store to have my storage upgraded, or if I would have to buy a completely new Ipod.

    There is no HD in the iPod touch. It uses flash memory and it is not upgradable.

    If you're tech savvy and know how to take it apart and put in a new HD and get the OS on it then yes
    However, parts are pretty exspensive and all kinds of things could possibly go wrong so I'd just suggest purchasing a new device.

  • How can you do an alternate upgrade for AT&T on the Iphone 5 preorder?

    After doing a test trial Iphone order of a 4s, I noticed there is no way to select alternate upgrade or a way to use an available upgrade for one line on another line withing the same AT&T account. Is this something that can be done over the phone or online by Apple at all? My concern truly emerges from my intent to preorder the Iphone 5 on the 14th.

    What does this have to do with using an iPhone in an enterprise environment?

  • Can you use windows 7 upgrade disk on late 2011 macbook pro?

    I am new to mac so bear with me please.
    I only have a windows upgrade disk, the bootcamp FAQ page says either full install or upgrade versions of windows 7 will work, but, the manual says only full. can anyone clarify for me please?
    Also, is there a way to get around the fact that to use timemachine backup I need to have a FAT formatted disk? I am coming from windows and have all my media on an external drive and would like to use that drive as my backup drive, but since its not formatted for FAT it cant be used.
    Thanks ahead of time for the help. Just switched and I am liking it so far! Just trying to get windows on here as I use some windows only applications for work.

    Time Machine is only available with Leopard or later.
    External FireWire or USB 2.0 drive
    Time Capsule
    Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 or later using File Sharing
    Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 Server

  • I keep getting exact duplicate songs in playlists and libraries, how can you filter this out when upgrading these lists, or sync to the same device again? And how to do it without going through each and every P'list or Library ?

    I have Windows XP-Pro SP3, the latest upgrades of Three media players, iTunes being the default player. I keep getting duplicates in playlists, libraries etc., of the same version of song. Everytime i make a change or renew my media to device or SYNC it wants to add duplicates to the computer disk, lists etc. Can you filter out same copies without having to edit each and every song, which in my case is quite large. For instance if you want to convert all mpeg, or mp4-a files to AAC you will end up with duplicates of each file type. Or you sync to an ipod, the library adds to itself---- including copies of songs already in it, if in a different file version.

    Your refer to:
    " if you want to convert all mpeg, or mp4-a files to AAC "
    This will always duplicate files within iTunes.  I need to ask why you're doing this conversion - all formats are compatible with iTunes, and conversion between mp3 and AAC will always involve some loss of quality.

    Please can you help....
    I ordered an iPhone 5s in early September from the orange shop in Chamonix Mont-Blanc France.
    I needed a new phone as i dropped my iPhone and broke it so it thought i would upgrade.
    I was asked in the shop if I wanted a black or white one, I asked for a Black one, as all my iPhones have all been Black as I DON'T LIKE White ones. (sorry)
    I was told my phone would arrive in a week so I waited with broken phone for new one. The following week I was told it would be the following week, the following week i was told the same but the assistant in the shop told me they would ring me when it arrived. Three days later i recieved a text from the shop to say the phone would be in tomorrow, when I went in they said it had not arrived and they would call me when it was in the shop.
    They called me on Thursday the 17th of October to say the phone was in the shop.
    I arrived at the shop at 6:00pm after my work, the shop closes at 7:00pm. I recieved the phone, signed for it and extra unwanted insurance with I was told I could only canceled in a month. I was then told they didn't have any sim cards in the shop, i said no problem the Phone i assume will need charging so i will take it home and charge it and return for the sim tomorrow.
    So the Phone remained boxed.
    When I returned home and opened the box I realised it was a white one, I replaced the lid put it back in the bag, and returned it to the shop first thing Friday 18th October, to point out the error, only to be told "to bad" ?? I was told I could have changed it the night before but not this morning? They said I had ordered a Black one but as I had signed for a White one nothing can be done. I was angry and left the shop. I returned later the same day with a French friend to try and resolve this problem, as I wasn't sure if something was being lost in translation. I didn't think I was being unreasonable, it is a very expensive piece of equipment and this wasn't what i wanted. They told my friend that the phone was not available in Black, that was the 5, and that the 5s was only available in silver and gold, and that mine was a silver one.
    I then thought it was my mistake as it was a new phone. She put a sim in the phone put it in the box and I left for a business meeting only to arrive and see a Black iPhone 5s sitting on the table??
    So I then returned back to the shop with the Black one and mine still all boxed and untouched to prove they had blatantly lied to me an hour ago, only to be told that there was nothing they were prepared to do.
    Is this fair practice ? I am at a loss with this and am looking for help ?

    A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":

  • How can you upgrade appserver that is used by Java AVK for Enterprise

    Here is a question that I some times get from users:
    Question: I wanted to check what was involved in replacing the Appserver that is bundled with AVK1.4.1? I looked at the contents of the AVK bundle and noticed that it has an appserver directory. So, can a person just replace that directory with a later version like AS 8.1 UR2.
    Ans:
    No, one just can not delete the original appserver directory, install a new AS there and expect AVK to work. The previously installed AS (AVK installation bundle comes with 8.1 PE) had an instrumented instance (an instrumented instance has server classpath prefix and an additional JVM property which is not available in a normal instance). When one replaces that with a new installation, one has to again instrument the new instance. One can do an in place upgrade from 8.1 to 8.1 UR2. AFAIK in place upgrade is not recommended in production environment because it has some other side effects. But in development environment one can do inplace upgrade. That automatically keeps the settings that were used by previous AS in tact in the new AS. This means all the deployed apps are also available in the new AS.
    Question: Is there any other way to do upgrade the app server that is used by AVK?
    Ans:
    Another way to replace AS 8.1 by 8.1UR2 in AVK is (Don't do this if you have applications that are deployed, because the steps below would delete them, which means after you do this, you have to again deploy the applications, resources etc in the new AS):
    In the instructions below JAVKE_HOME points to installation root of JAVKE and it assumed that appserver is installed at $JAVKE_HOME/appserver. The instructions remain same for Windows except that '/' needs to be replaced by '\' and $ by a pair of '%' and rm to be replaced by del command.
    1) $JAVKE_HOME/appserver/bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1
    2) Uninstall $JAVKE_HOME/appserver. A simple rm -rf of this dir will also do. If you choose to uninstall, then please also do an rm -rf.
    3) Install 8.1UR2 PE at $JAVKE_HOME/appserver
    You can upgrade to any higher version AS provided it is of the family 8.1 PE. This means you can upgrade to 8.1 UR1/2/3 etc. Visit http://java.sun.com/j2ee/ to see latest release of Sun Java System Application Server.
    4) $JAVKE_HOME/appserver/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
    5) Instrument the server by running the following commands
    $JAVKE_HOME/appserver/bin/asadmin set user admin password <password> host localhost port <typically port is 4848> server.java-config.classpath_prefix=$JAVKE_HOME/lib/javke.jar
    $JAVKE_HOME/appserver/bin/asadmin create-jvm-options user admin password <password> host localhost port <typically port is 4848> -Dj2ee.appverification.home=$JAVKE_HOME
    You can do this using the admin gui to do the above actions.
    6) restart the appserver for these changes to effect.
    Now AVK can be used with the new appserver.
    Hope it helps,
    Thanks,
    Sahoo

    Josh, this was my first gripe when I moved to IronPort toward the end of 2008; I forget the version of Asyncos we were on then. Remember that the design philosophy (as I'm given to understand it) is that you shouldn't have to nursemaid it as much as some other gateways, though achieving that is more a question of developing robust mail policies than simply plugging in the device and running the setup wizard.
    I found the Asyncos GUI a bit of a pain to work with for header analysis, but I've adapted over time. It's only an annoyance now when you need to see an attachment file name that scrolls across three or four screen widths, and by comparison SharePoint gives me more grief in that department (we're on a paleolithic version here).
    For some things we send a copy of quarantined items out to a dedicated mailbox only accessible by staff monitoring our gateways; for more details see my posting in your thread "Can't View Video Files Attached To Emails".
