I have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8. Many of my applications will not work.. HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?
Before you revert anything try this:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Next time don't post something like "nothing but trouble." Tell us exactly what the trouble is and provide any additional information such as error messages. -
Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again! -
How can I go back to a previous version of firefox
4.0 does not work with Norton. How can I uninstall 4.0 and go back to the latest previous 3 version
Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).
You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem. -
I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

TS2518 How can I revert back to the original Aperture 3?
How can I revert back To my oraginal Aperture 3? 3.4.1 has screwd everything up for me!
That will be tricky, if you already upgraded your Aperture library to version 3.4.1.
You need to restore an earlier version of your Aperture Library from your backup.
You need to restore an earlier Aperture version.
How did you buy Aperture? Do you have installation media or a serial number for Aperture 3?
And do you have a TimeMachine backup of your Aperture Library or a vault?
What is the problem with your current Aperture Library? Maybe it will be easier to fix your current system then to downgrade.

How can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes?
I installed the newest version and it took EVERYTHING off my hard drive. A lot of it is crap I don't want on there. Can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes that only has whats on my Ipod? I tried system restore and had no luck. Thanks
A couple of posts of mine that may help you;
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8336830#8336830
If your disk was wiped, presumable you will not need to worry about the library as a new blank library will be created.

How can I revert back to the default config on Secure Access Server 5.3?
We recently purchased new Secure Access Control Servers version 5.1 and have upgraded to version 5.3 with current patches. Several people have configured one of the appliances and we would like to revert back to the original config with no NDGs or Devices or any other variables configured. Is this possible?
While looking up a command in the CLI reference, I also found the command to reset the acs to factory default. It is "acs reset-config". This resets the acs portion only, not the linux appliance, so your IP addresses, DNS, etc. are retained. It does clear out the license for the ACS, so if you use this make sure you have the license file. You will also have to go through the initial password setup again.

How can I revert back to a previous Java Update
I am having issues with my software since the last java update. At the moment the only option i see to fix this issue is by reverting back to my previous java update. Please please tell me how to do this. Apple's decision to bundle java into the the OS is really quite frustrating. Not easy to have multiple versions of java on the same system.
I opened another discussion for the issue i am facing after the update here.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18062881#18062881
I am on OS X 10.7.3.
thanksI have a copy of JavaForMacOSX10.7.dmg update 1 that I recovered from the latest backup.
I got it from Apple Support Downloads when it was released.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents
Java for Mac OS X 10.7 Update 1 delivers improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_29
Unfortunately that link right now leads to the latest Java update.
If you trust my copy, let me know here. I'll give you the link where you can get it.
P.S.
The PKG inside the DMG contains a certificate that expired last March 23rd. So when you lauch it it gives you that advice. -
How can I go back to a previous version of software as iOS 5 has stopped car bluetooth working.
I have an i-phone 3GS and a 56 Plate Ford Fiesta with factory fitted bluetooth audio. This is a Nokia bluetooth but has allowed me to call hands free with this phone and previous i-phones and other brands with no problem. I upgraded to iOS5 and I can now not make calls through it. If I press call, the radio says 'dialling' but the ringing tone and when someone answers just goes straight back to the handset and not through hands free which makes it redundant in the UK. I rang Apple and asked how to go back to a previous version of software that does work but was told Apple staff were not allowed to tell me how to do this. His only other suggestion was that I buy a new car which wasn't massively helpful or practical. I have seen quite a few messages on the internet of people having this sort of problem after they upgraded. Does anyone know how to go back a previous version or how to get bluetooth back working with my car as I quite like the iOS 5 update it's just no good if I can't use it in car.? I've tried deleting and re-pairing but that hasn't worked. Does anyone also know whether Apple have picked up on this bluetooth compatibility problem and whether they are planning on doing anything to fix it as it does seem to have affected a lot of people and if it can't be resolved I'll just have to stop using i-phones and go to another manufacturer as it's not helpful living in a country where you to have hands free and then not being able to do that because a software update prevents it. Any help would be greatly received.
Hi Shero89,
Thanks for the answer. I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet. I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that. Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software. I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems. One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy. -
I have installed Firefox 5.0 but this version does not work with some of my add-ons.
There are no new versions of the add-ons yet.
I want to uninstall Firefox 5.0 and install an older version of Firefox.
How do I do that?The latest versions of Firefox require at least Mac OS X 10.5 and an Intel processor. You can revert to Firefox 3.6.xx for Mac 10.4 by downloading the installer from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Before i downloaded your firefox 8.0.1, I used firefox to 'save as' the ''Unrealized gain/loss page'' from a brokerage account, - for my ongoing historical financial records file (safari doesn't work for this site).
On the Unrealized gain/loss page, there is a '+' symbol (in front of each stock owned) that one needs to 'clic' on (turns to a -) to see the various dates (and financial data) when you purchased different lots of the same stock. (say, ''IBM''; purchased IBM shares on 21-10-'11, 100 shares, @ $147, current price @ $180, gain of $33/share, total gain $3,300 / 10-14-'11 purchased 200 IBM shares, @ $191, current price @ $180, loss of $11/share, total loss $2200 / - and so on for however many individual 'lots' one has of that particular stock. ). This information is very important to me, and now i can not 'save' it.
- So I want to know how I 'fix' this - or - how I can go back to the earlier version, that did work.To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.

Not much for details. I like the 'spell check' option on the Google toolbar - it's always there no matter where I'm typing. But, since I installed FF 5/0, GTB is not compatible. I would like to go back to a prior version of FF. But, I don't know how to do that.
Don't get me wrong - I've used FF for many years and like it very much. I just ant GTB on my screen. thanks. bobGoogle needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
The Google Toolbar 7.1.20110512W version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.
