How can I downgrade to OS X Mavericks from OS X Yosemite?

I just recently installed OS X Yosemite onto my macbook pro, and didn't use the time machine backup before I downloaded it (stupid!). I am trying to get back to OS X Mavericks but don't know how. If I restore my system's factory settings will it go back to Mavericks??? Please help. Thank you.

How can I downgrade to 7.1.2 from IOS 8 (iPad air and iPhone 5S)?

Many Thanks for the quick answer. But this isn’t helpful for me. I've got no option for downgrade. Only for IOS 8 factory reset!!

Can you restore from backup? That would be best to keep all your stuff. You can find usually several versions under restore option in iTunes. I really hope you have one of those iOS7 versions backed up to iTunes.
If you really want to start over, and I mean no contacts, photos, music, apps, anything but factory settings that aren't in the cloud or in one of the restore options. You can search ios 7.1.2 firmware and download it and install by shift click restore and choose the file you downloaded. But that is a really desperate act. But this also requires iTunes and if you've been using iTunes you probably have a backup.

How can I downgrade iOS 7.1.2 from iOS 8

How can i downgrade my iphone 3gs ios from 6.1 to 4.1

i upgrade my 3gs iphone from 4.1 to 6.1 but unable to activate iphone, and still it is not connecting with itune but now i want to downgrade back to 4.1 from 6.1, please guide me to do this process, and also i want to know how can i factory unlock my iphone 3gs without making a phone call to Apple Care????

It seems like your phone might be done for then.. I had a White 3G do this to me.. Although I DONT suggest it, smacking it around seemed to get it connected every now and then, but if it was dropped again it would stop working..
Also, make sure your SIM card is clean & properly inserted into the phone!

How can I downgrade my Os x Maverick to Os x mountain lion without time machine

downgrade os x maverick to os x mountain lion without time machine back up and disc

To downgrade you have to have a copy of the Mountain Lion installer, download from the Mac App Store but be sure to go to System Preferences > App Store first and uncheck boxes that will automatically install the download.
You will have to erase the hard drive and then install from a saved copy of the installer, saved to a flash drive for instance.
This is going to be a time consuming exercise, so is there a specific reason for wanting to downgrade?

HT202157 How can I downgrade my Apple TV 2 from the latest iOS5 to version 4.4.4?

I am not liking the new interface of the Apple TV iOS5, also unable to use few items, is there any way of restoring my previous version?

Unfortunately you cannot. Apple has stopped signing tthe 4.4.4 software. Technical info: Apple uses an SHSH blob to sign the iOS software and w/o it your STUCK with the new interface.

Backup your data - should already have that in place using TimeMachine.
And we regularly recommend a 2nd clone backup: http://bombich.com/download

Use Internet Recovery Mode or better yet SAVE the installers (any and all) such as original, Yosemite, Mavericks, so you can erase and reinstall and then then use TimeMachine and Setup Assistant. I've never had Internet install feature but should be straight forward.

How can i downgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 4?

I see there are other posts on this where everyone responds saying to Google how.
Well the method to do this with TinyUmbrella only works if you have saved your SHSH blobs before you upgraded. And for the record nothing about downgrading requires jailbreaking. And it's not risky to try whatsoever.
I didn't save my SHSH blobs before only recently upgrading the iOS version, even after learning my lesson with my iPhone 3G when an update to that rendered it so slow it became an expensive paperweight.
Now I have an iPad 1 which is a piece of hardware that will last for many years to come. I don't need another iPad what I need is for the hardware I paid for years ago as an "early adopter" to work as if bloody well should do.
IOS 5 is so laggy it's ridiculous. This I beleive is done intentionally by Apple just to force people to buy more stuff they don't really need. But hey, that's progress, that's what many tech companies do.
But what I want to ask is, if SHSH blobs can be faked?
Surely a developer knows what data is required from the iPad to create SHSH blobs. Since they're unique to each device surely someone who knows enough about Apple firmware and software could fake them and then downgrading would be possible.
So is there anyone here who knows if it can be done and if so how?
If no one on here can help, could I go to an appointment with one of those "geniuses'" in an Apple store and have them do it?
Thanks,
Andrew

It can be a bit annoying that we can't downgrade either iOS like going from 7 to 6 or downgrade any apps, specially if the update app you downloaded is not what you expected. It can be unfair and wrong. Some of us may look at either an iOS or an app, and like it, download it, then later when we do the update, we sometimes find the next version had changed too much and is not what we wanted in the first place.
It is not easy when it comes to iOS, but when it comes to an app, you can have two options, never update if you're really happy with the current version, or update only direct to iPad but don't sync to iTunes. Try out the app and if it is not what you paid for, you can delete it from iPad as long as you have not updated the app in your iTunes library, and sync the earlier version from iTunes back to iPad.

How can I downgrade to a previous version?

How can I downgrade to a previous version. I upgraded to 2.3 and now my site is totally hosed because the fonts on the master page are changing size arbitrarily without me touching them. I've had to eliminate my site map on the bottom of my master page because I've spent over 20 hours trying to correct the issue and can't seem to get anywhere. Even completely recreating the page doesn't correct the problem.
I was going to simply change a few photos from an older backup copy of the html files, but when I opened them with the 2.3 version, it changed all of the font sized on those files too.
I need my site working properly, so, how can I downgrade to the previous version and get my site working again until the bug is fixed?
Help please!

How can I Downgrade to Snow Leopard and keeping all 3rd party apps?

New to MacBookPro and really happy. With Lion...not so much. I want to downgrade to SL, however, apparently I must reformat the hard drive. Here´s the real question: If I have a backup of my entire HD with the user, docs and all the apps I have installed (on Lion), once I downgrade to Snow Leopard, can I just move all my apps from the back up disk I have made of my Lion-Running hard drive? In other words, How can I downgrade without having to reinstall every single third party app I have?

First, how new is this Mac? A Mac as a rule cannot boot to an older operating system version than that with which it was originally supplied. In other words, if this is a new MBP that came with Lion then you probably cannot get it to boot to SL.
Some applications (and I take it you do mean full "applications" rather than "apps" which are mobile device programs -- it helps to be clear o terminology) can just be dragged from place to place. Others, notably Adobe and Office, install things all over the place and unless you are good at finding hidden files with obscure names in 10 different places you will just have to re-install them.

How can I downgrade back to Firefox 3.6 because 4.0 won't run on my version of OSX?

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 & installed it on my MacBook running OSX.4.11 but when I tried to run it I got an error saying it was not compatible with my version of OSX.
So if I can't open Firefox I lose all my bookmarks....
How can I downgrade to the version I was running before I upgraded & replaced all the files with version 4? I think this was 3.6 as I do upgrade regularly.
Thanks!

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
When you re-install Firefox 3.6 it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
