Going from OS X maverick to previous OS X

I have already posted my primary issue with OS X Maverick and it's ill effects with iweb.
What I want to do is revert back to the previous OS X that my Macbook came with as I think this is the best solution.
Currently I have OS X version 10.9.5 listed with Built 13F34
How do I figure out which OS X version I had?

Look at your install disks (if you have grey disks or a USB installer).
Use 'Apple Menu > About this Mac' to see what the model is, click more info for greater report details.
MacTracker.ca can also give you a lot of info about the specific Mac, is you can't decipher Apple's report.
Certain Macs support 'internet recovery'…
Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery (look for your model)
Internet recovery will allow you to boot from the internet & can install the original OS. It will download that to install so use a good internet connection (ideally via an ethernet cable - it will fetch GB's of data).
Otherwise you can just login to the App Store & see what OS's you have in your account (from 10.7 onwards). You should be able to see if the Mac is supported. 10.6 & earlier will be on an install disk.
Whatever you decide, I'd make a full bootable backup of 10.9 before you begin, just incase you need to do something after getting the older OS installed. Carbon Copy Cloner will do this for free.

I had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect my c even if i'm going from a 4 to a 5s?

i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.

How can I stop the program from going through all of the text previously put in. It is making the process very slow.

while True:
and just indent everything else under it
Ends when you press ^C.
if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
if not vpc:
break
which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

Question re. Ethernet cable going from HH3 to Mode...

Guys,
Do any of you know whether you can use any Cat5e ethernet cable from the Red Infinity socket on the HH3 to the LAN1 port on the Openreach modem as opposed to the one with the red terminals provided by BT? I only ask as like most of you I'm sure, my HH3 and modem are no more than about 20cm apart so I'd prefer to use a much shorter cable than the one supplied.
And does that also apply to the RJ11 going from the Master Socket to the DSL port on the modem (i.e. will any RJ11 do)?
Cheers in advance.
You won't get to ride the racehorse...until you've ridden the mule.... - RogerB 13/04/2010

from the homehub to modem, any decent cat5/cat5a/cat6 cable will do. as for the rj11 cable to phone socket, if you know a good i.t. guru, he could knock you up a cat5 cable with rj11 connectors at each end to your specific length, or, if you don't know an i.t. guru, you could scout the net for the cable. I use such a cable and it is far superior to the one supplied by bt.
Also, if you feel competent & have the tools,you could do it yourself. i posted howto do this previously, so a quick search with my moniker should find it
free your computer, use opensource
i'm a linux user & very happy about it

Acrobat X Pro no longer edits pdf's after doing clean install going from 10.9 to 10.10 on mac.

all other suite programs seem to work just fine. Just not Acrobat X. Was install from upgrade serials numbers. Acrobat X does not work well using Yosemite for me.....

I am not able to edit scanned documents that once could. They were scanned in as PDF files. The files that I once could edit in Acrobat x Pro are no longer editable. Past PDF's that I used change dates and resend no work. I did a clean install going from maverick 10.9 to yosemite 10.10 due to an issue with third party program. Since the clean install I have not been able to see or work on older adobe files that I once could. Everything that had a adobe icon attach to it has disappeared and been replaced with an apple pdf icon. It will not let me select areas as I once could to even copy and paste.
Thanks-

Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after maverick installation

Windows 7 disappear from bootcamp after maverick installation. What should I do to recover?
I did try co reinstall windows but it make the installation new (nothing remain from the previous). Old windows partition seems lost.

Hi Jack.........ok ive managed to create a link to that video on how to install bootcamp.....this is the tutorial i used and i managed to gain 100% completion on bootcamp 1st time no messing......like i said in my previous reply did you save the windows support files from apple....(Critical).....ok no point in messing about i suggest you start again from scratch........these are the things i used and YOU will need to complete bootcamp
mem stick or cd-r / dvd-r......original copy disc of win 7 ...i never used an iso i used original disc....allow a minimum of 30gb of space for your win 7 partition.....if you want bootcamp so you can use big programs like windows based games i.e.....Crysis/Call of duty etc etc ..then you will need to consider that you will need to allow a bigger partition to allow your HD to store the files.....this is the reason i installed bootcamp and so i made my partition i have a 750GB HD so i made a partition of 300gb for windows 7 and left the other 450gb for Mac....so you need to partition enough for what you want bootcamp for remember once you get bootcamp working you will need to install ALL Important Windows updates Including Win 7 SP1......once everything is installed you will have bootcamp up and running lovely.....u can then boot up with either win7 or mac......click this link and watch carefully and do exactly as shown ok and you should be fine...if you have any probs contact me again ok.....let me know how you get on ok..:)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=QFIWtXTl4d0&NR=1

Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick

Hi, Can i Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick ?
Thanks

Apple has sort of screwed up the whole full-screen / multi-screen features of OSX. I get it's hard to achive it all in a "perfect way" for everyone but the so called "improved" multi-screen features of 10.9 add a number of issue on top of the "fixes".
1. Switching between apps with CMD + TAB is bugged with using 10.9 screen-setup. The OS doesn't understand what screen I'm using and the CMD + TAB feature shows up on screen 1 or screen 2. The only way I've found to controll this is by activating the DOCK on either screen which is a very bad solution.
2. Spotlight searching always follows the "active" screen. At least 10.9 understands what screen is my active one but in this case I never ever want screen 2 to have Spotlight on it. Very irriting.
3. Remembering application positions. If I open an app from the dock on screen 1, place it on screen 2 close it and again open it from the dock on screen 1 the app will open on screen 1 and not screen 2. Some apps will remember certain windows on the correct display. A solution is to open the app from the dock on the display you want it on. Very irritiating.
4. Swiching between apps is also bugged. Concider I have mail on screen 2 and a new mail window on screen 1. I CMD + TAB to Safari on screen 2 after starting to write the new mail on screen 1. No problems here. If I now howvever CMD + TAB back to mail, the last active window (new mail window on screen 1) won't be active. Very irritating.
As noted above, going back to what we had in 10.7 and 10.8 solves these issues but doesn't solve Apples horrible fullscreen app issues. I'd go as far as saying Apple hasn't really fixed anything in 10.9 - only cause more issues and confusing behavoir. Fullscreen apps are often very lacking in funktion, having safari or mail fullscreen renders them on a large screen very very limited compared to "maximized". It's also very confusion that you are required to travel between virtual desktops to use full-screen apps. I personally would prefer the option of "layered fullscreen apps". For example VLC allows me to work this way.

Is there a way to upgrade my older macbook air from Lion to Mavericks?

Is there a way to upgrade my older (First generation) macbook air from Lion to Mavericks?

The original MacBook Air can't be upgraded past 10.7.5, and unless someone's previously downloaded Mavericks or otherwise noted, the installer for it isn't available.

Why did the colors on my Mac Air go weird when I connected it to my projector after updating from SL to Mavericks?

4 days ago, I updated my iOS on my Mac Air from SL to Mavericks. I connected it up with my projector to check on a keynote presentation I was preparing. The colors on my Mac went a strange greenish hue and this was accurately mirrored through the projector onto the screen. I tried to adjust the color setting in Displays and played around with different resolutions in the vain hope that something would fix it, but nothing did. There were all these new customized color adjustments you could do which I had never seen before. I have a MBP that I hadn't (fortunately) updated and went I connected it to my projector (with which I have never had any issues with before with my two Macs), there was absolutely no problem so I know it is very definitely an issue with Mavericks. In the end, in desperation as I do a lot of presentations and I can't afford to have this happening, I erased my hard drive and restored SL from Time Machine which I had fortunately done a back up just before doing the update. I had read in some previous threads here that restoring to a previous iOS is a long and complicated process but it was fortunately not the case for me - my Time Machine did it painlessly for me. My question is - I am now too afraid to try Mavericks again - but is there an explanation why this happened to my Mac Air?

Check Settings > General > Cellular > Cellular Data and make sure it's "On".

Going from EHP3 to EHP4

Experts,
We already have ECC6.0Ehp3. After installing EHp3, we activated 2 business function sets in SFW5 and followed the normal processes to get this moved into the other clients. No problem!
That was many months ago. now, we are ready to do Ehp4 and that is my question.
Knowing that we are already on EhP3 and have already activated business function sets, eg ISU_UTIL_1 / ISU_UTIL_WASTE, etc.
So once we finished the install of EhP4 via the Enhancement Pack installer, will we need to go back to SFW5 and activate business function sets again? We already have all the functionality we need from when we did the SFW5 after EHP3 install, I don't want to activate anything new, but I wonder if that is a requirement when going from one EHP to a new one? If so, how do we keep from overwriting the config we already have?
I have fully read the following guides:
Note 337623 - Customizing after installation or upgrade
The specified item was not found.

But I still don't have an answer from these. Any insite would be much appeciated.
Thanks,

Hey Sunny,
Thanks again for following up, but I have seen this and fully read the note. Let me be more specific:
Is there any one out there who has applied a previous ECC Enhancement Pack (like EHP3, then activated a business function set in SFW5 (like IS-util), then copied the customization to all clients....and THEN at a later date applied EHP4 ???
If so, after applying EHP4, did you AGAIN have to go into SFW5? If not SFW5, did you have to use SCU0 to find additional features from existing business sets in client 000 and again copy that into the productive clients?
I know what the ambiguous documentation says, but when it comes down to REALLY doing this, I am still not clear. Please don't bother cutting/pasting sections from the tech guide and SAP note I have already referenced in a previous post. I have ready them....
Maybe I'm over-thinking this.....
Also, what if I wanted to activate a complely new business function set? After activating in SFW5, has anyone done this in a way that copies the new functionality in 000 but does not stomp on the previous customization from other activations?

Will I be able to upgrade from Lion to Mavericks?

First, I know my machine will handle Mavericks, that's not my question. What I want to know is:
If I have Lion now, will I be able to upgrade from Lion to Mavericks for the Mavericks price quoted, or will I have to upgrade to Mt. Lion and then Mavericks? I was going to upgrade to Mt. Lion right about now, but don't want to pay for two upgrades within 3 or 4 months if I don't have to.

If everything goes like in Mountain Lion, you should be able to upgrade to Mavericks from any OS X version with the App Store: Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion, always that your MacBook Pro is supported, thing that we don't know yet until Apple releases the requirements. Note that this may change with the final version

BT Hub broad band light goes from blue to amber wh...

BT Hub broad band light goes from blue to amber whenever phone rings and temporarily drops internet. After a short period of time it resets itself. I use a VPN to work from home into office and it drops this as well which is very frustrating when on conference calls.
Spoke to BT last year and advised fit a high grade ADSL filter which we did and problem still exists
Any ideas??

is there any reason you started a new subject for what appears to be the same problem a previous posts. from previous the line is ok and broadband ok as long as you are not using VPN when phone rings - is that correct?

Pages will not open from iCloud since Maverick update

Pages will not open from iCloud since Maverick update

I have a similar problem. I upgrated to Maverick a couple weeks ago and at that time I saw a very different appearance to my Pages documents, especially my book lists. Numbers appeared at the left side of the pages. All seemed well. Now the last few times I've tried to open those documents, I get the message that "YOU NEED A NEWER VERSION OF PAGES TO OPEN THIS DOCUMENT. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF PAGES FROM THE MAC APP STORE". I can't figure out how or why the version reverted back to the way it was. That message doesn't always come though. Some documents I can open but some I can't open at all. If I click LEARN MORE, I am directed to the APP STORE where I can buy Pages 5.0.1 for $19.99!!!!! What the heck is going on????? Am I going to have to pay for pages where Maverick was FREE.

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. Tried it 10 times with the same result. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.
