Help! I Need to Downgrade!

I keep a souped-up Pismo that I use for work only. Recently I burned out the Wegener G4 processor (I think) when I didn't quite close the lid. Thing overheated and I've been getting kernel panics ever since. Replaced the two memory modules but that didn't fix it. So I'm pretty sure it's the processor. Anyway, I bought another Pis and am now using its original G3 processor.
Problem: iTunes 9.2. (61) says it requires at least a G4 to run.
Is it possible for me to "downgrade" to an earlier version of iTunes?
If I do so, will it then tell me "can't run library created by later version?"
Any help most appreciated.
Thanks, GB

There might be someone out there with the skills to provide a 100% recovery but the short simple leff complete answer is simply move the data files over. Yes, the loss of ratings, playlists, etc will occur, but you can rebuild life after that.
There is likely someone out there that might be able to solve this.
I wonder if Migration Assistant would help here. Perhaps it can translate a newer library file to an older version while processing?

Please Help! Need to downgrade yosemite

Hi All,
I am in need of some urgent help!
Without thinking (I know a silly mistake) I installed Yosemite OSX on my macbook pro last night.
Needless to say it has screwed my workflow massively, most of my plugins which I use in Logic x and Logic 9 are not yet compatible and I need to downgrade back to mavericks.
After researching a bit online etc it seems that I should have, in hindsight installed Yosemite onto a partition rather than over-writing my mavericks OSX, however I didn't!
Is there anyway that I can downgrade to mavericks keeping my applications and data as they were before I installed Yosemite?
I would hugley appreciate any help whatsoever so that I can get back on track
Thanks,
Dan

Hi there DJB,
Try the following link…
here: How to revert OS X back from Mavericks
It is written for Mavericks, but the same process applies. It is sooo much easier to revert to Mavericks or Mountain Lion if you have a time machine backup. You should always do a backup of your system before any major changes such an upgrading your OS.
Let us know if you are successful,
Cheers,

There's no official way to do that. Downgrading was never supported since the first iPhone.

Need to downgrade to 10.5.4 Please Help!!

Quick background-
I'm a protools LE user and I used to run OS 10.4.11 until recently when I experienced a boot drive failure. I brought my G5 to the local apple store and told them I would like 10.4.11 reinstalled (or at least 10.4) so protools still works.
I get my G5 back and lo and behold Leopard 10.5.5 is installed on my computer.
So I think OK cool free version of Leopard So after spending $50 to upgrade protools to 7.4.2 to work with Leopard I come to find protools needs 10.5.4 I can't just install from my install disk because the apple store never gave me one. an seeing as how i just bought the leopard update for protools I'd like to keep it if possible I just need to downgrade to 10.5.4
I've tried downloading the 10.5.4 regular and combo updates but neither will install on my hard drive over top of 10.5.5. Is there any way to achieve what I'm trying to do without a boot disk?

So what your saying is that the Apple store illegally put leopard onto my computer?
hmmm Interesting
not really. that was simply done by mistake as I said. they were supposed to put the OS onto your computer that came with it originally. as I said it's illegal to have leopard on your computer without buying it. nothing strange or interesting about that.

I have Firefox 5, but need to downgrade to 3.5 or 3.6, how do I do this? Can you help me please? It is important to finish something I am working on.

If you need that older version to access specific websites then you can install the portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

Need to downgrade Nokia 5800 software version

Hi.
I upgraded my nokia 5800 software version, but after updating half screen has gone blank and other half shows some white line coming and going, i googled and got the solution that i will need to downgrade the software version, my earlier version was v20.0.0.12, now from where can i get this v20 version?Plz help me....

@Bradleyfox
Although any data would be lost you will probably have to try resetting device to "Out of box" state by keeping these three keys depressed RED, GREEN & CAMERA whilst powering on until Nokia "Shaking hands" logo appears.
Have you removed any memory card if present before trying the above?

Then select "Add a Mail Account and click create
Then go to google for the settings you need:

Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need

Windows XP Clean Install – What I discovered and the help I need
I previously had a problem with my Laptop dying randomly you can read about it in the thread entitled Computer dies Randomly (Battery also dead) click to view
Before I realised the solutions, I thought that maybe my Laptop had become infected with a Virus and decided it would be prudent to do a clean install of the Windows XP operating system.
Everything went perfectly and thought a clean install was a good opportunity to download the “XP Service Pack 3” SP3 and did so, it seemed very quiet though and that’s when I realised I had no sound…
I downloaded all of the sound drivers I could find on the Lenovo site for 3000 N100 (I knew from previous experience that the “SOUNDMAX” driver is the only one that actually works with this 3000 N100) in order to install this you have to install the Realtek HD audio driver, but in order to install that you have to install some other Driver/Soft that only works with SP1 or SP2 if you try to install it with SP3 it will say that you don’t need the file as your Service pack is newer than the file you want to install, this is understandable as SP3 is not final as of yet (but it’s good to know).
My next problem was that my extra RAM was not detected, this was fixed by updating the BIOS, after installing all of the System updates, PC Doctor, everything I could find for 3000 N100 I decided to rest, I pushed the Lenovo care button and it did not work, I found a hot key driver and installed it but still the Lenovo care button does not work, previously when I pushed this button it would bring up the Lenovo menu but now it’s just a dead button, Does anyone know how to get this button working again?
I am pretty sure that everything else is working fine now, just that button not working is very annoying, is there a set routing of installs you must do to get everything working, i.e. bios 1st audio 2nd system update 3rd etc...
Please help, I hope I have helped you...

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok first everything works now... except the Lenovo Care button, I just posted the other stuff cause it might help other members, I have searched the forum for an anwser to this problem but there was only one anwser (suggesting to uninstall the driver restart and re-install it) and it did not result in a working Lenovo Care button...
I don't beleive the Lenovo keyboad drivers are in any way related to the Service pack 3 as they do not use the Service pack files, to back this up I also had the same problem when Service Pack 2 was installed...
The Lenovo Care button works fine on Boot up screen to access the rescue and recovery software (So the mechanics of the button are fine) but once Windows XP loads it is just a dead button, I remember it used to open up the Lenovo Care Start bar, I got it working once in the past but I can't remember what I did, I thought someone here might know the anwser...

Do I need to downgrade to Mountain Lion?

Hello,
I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks and was ready to upgrade my VMware Fusion 3 to VMware Fusion 6 when I noticed the warning that I needed to shut down VMware before upgrading. I am certain that my VMware was only suspended, not shut down. I am not sure how to proceed as I do not want to lose my data. Do I need to downgrade back to Mountain Lion in order to shut down VMware Fusion 3?
My iMac is 24 inch, early 2009
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I am running Time Machine with a LaCie 4big Quadra.
Thank you!

Glad to hear there's no need to downgrade because it can be daunting.
I saw you post yesterday but hesitated to post the instructions for reverting to a prior OS X just in case you posted back with a solution.
Might want to keep this user tip handy just in case > How to revert OS X back from Mavericks: Apple Support Communities
