Help! Reverted from SL back to 10.5, now can't access old TM backups!

Hi folks,
So I decided to go back to Leopard after having too many problems with SL, particularly Office. I had to do an erase and install, and now when I try to restore from one of my pre-SL backups on TM, it says the entire TM drive is not accessible because it was created with a "Newer version of MAc OS X".
Is there anything I can do to get my Backup drive back as an accessible TM? Or can I only just copy the data over and format the backup to a new TM system?
Thanks!!
Daniel

Most likely, your Leopard install disc was an older version than the one you were last running from, and you didn't install the "combo" update to get back to it.
But as Kiraly says, the best thing to do is a full restore of your entire system. See item #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.

Help! I installed the wrong firmware and now can't access the camera to change it back!

I have done something silly and wonder if you can help to get me out of a fix. Yesterday I upgraded the firmware of my camera and I can no longer see the camera on the network, even when it is connected by a wired connection. I have tried a hard reset but that has not helped.
I now realise that I have upgraded with firmware via a link from the US website and it is a different firmware version to the UK site. It is also designated as a RoSh version (although I do not understand the significance of this). Presumably US networks are set up differently to EU ones?
I upgraded the firmware from version 1.10 to version 1.25 (RoSh). The European firmware upgrade is designated as version 1.21.
The only way forward that I can see is to find a network that will recognise the camera and then change the firmware back to the European one. Any ideas?

Whats the Model number of your Camera. As you have uploaded the wrong firmware of your Camera. I think you can download the Latest firmware from the European website and upgrade the firmware of your Camera using TFTP tool utility.
Go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network... and download TFTP.exe File on your computer. Once done connect your camera to the Computer and provide a Static IP to your computer.
Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned. By default, the router is 192.168.1.115...
For Password- Enter the password you assigned the camera. By default, the camera’s password is “admin”.
For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...Click Upgrade button to start upgrading. A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your camera, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your camera...

Can I revert from CC back to CS6?

I received a file I couldn't read (as I am running CS6) so I downloaded a trial version of CC to read the file and save it to CS6. But after that, CC subsumed my CS6 as the default application and without me realizing it saved 14 of my source packaged files as CC—now I cannot open them. I am furious! What can I do? I refuse to be manipulated into the "CLOUD" until I am ready! I already uninstalled CC...

Yes, you didn't mention which Creative Cloud tools or trials you were using, but Cozmicone is right – for most Adobe CC apps you can downsave the file back to be openable in older CS6, CS5, CS4 or CS3 versions of the programs... although newer features that weren't present in earlier releases will not be supported.

How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?

How can I access a calendar backup from my old iPhone?
I recently had to get a replacement iPhone 4. The tech at the Apple Store thought that I might have had a software problem and recommended that I not "restore from backup," but start this phone as a new device and just sync the apps and what-not. My calendar on my computer was different than the one on my old phone, though, and now I need the data from my old iPhone calendar. I did back up my old phone just prior to taking it to the Apple Store.
HELP!

Well what you can do is update to ios5 then use icloud to sync your calandar up to your phone then restore your phone as new and when prompted in the new phone setup put in your icloud username and password and you will have your calandar events back.

I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still access all songs and playlists on the old computer

If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.

I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

My libraries panel is missing from the window dropdown. Where else can I access it? Is that normal?

Lisa,
You may try the list (or go straight to 6) if you have updated to Yosemite without reinstalling).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

My photos have disappeared from my phone and I can not figure out how to pull them from iCloud back to my phone. Can someone help me??

How do u get ur photos from iCloud back to ur phone if the disappear???

You download photo stream photos by going to Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream and setting it to On. Photos are only held in photo stream for 30 days, so older photos will no longer be there.
Camera roll photos are only included in your backup. If the photos were on your iPod when you last backed it up, restoring the entire backup should recover them. Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process. If you have any newer data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your iPod and given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
