How can I roll back a java update?

This morning we did our monthly take-down-the-server-run-all-the-software-updates, and it included "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 16" Now our java software is totally hosed.
How do we roll back to the previous version of java?

We used Pacifist ( http://www.charlessoft.com/ ) to re-install the java Update14
This is shareware and he asks for $20. We are sending him $100!!!!
-- that's us doing the happy dance!!!
(We have Update15, but, a) apple has removed it from the support downloads site, and b) 16 came really fast after 15 -- so I suspect that 15 is broken somehow. The guessing game is a little annoying -- an article on the support page that would come up when you search for java for 10.6 update 15 saying that apple has removed the update and don't install it if you downloaded it would be, well, courteous!)
Note -- this seems to have worked just fine to clean up whatever update 16 broke for us, but I suspect that we could have used pacifist to install updates 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and then 14 and been really really likely to undo whatever bad thing update 16 did.
Another note... Got into this mess because I was trying to minimize downtime. I've never had a problem with a java update before so I got greedy/sloppy. Sure plenty of OTHER people have had problems with java updates, but, well, what is that old saying?
Smart People learn from their mistakes. And Really Smart People learn from other people's mistakes!
So, if you can't be Really Smart, at least be Smart!

Seems silly to not allow a rollback from a file repository of previous app versions.

>All apps are tied to the account that downloaded it, so to be able to sync back the previous version you would need to still have your copy of that version
I'm not sure I follow, I have not sync'd the ipad with my computer. I just saw an update in the app store and took it.
I tried to del and install the app from the purchased tab in the app store, that reinstalled v2.1 of the app. This also fails to launch.
I have made two service requests to the developer, no response at this time.
Is there somewhere I can download and install Remote Files version 2 file? I can only find the new version 2.1 in the app store.

- it's all said in the title. I can't understand why the developers turn things bad ... risking loosing Apples valuable customers.
More examples needed? (check out the communities and the reviews)
- OSX: Maverick to Yosemite = not recommended (check it out > http://roaringapps.com/apps)
- iPad: older versions as iPad2 should not upgrade to iOS7/8 (it's not supporting its hardware accordingly, it's designed for the latest hardware)
- iTunes (it's possible to rollback to 10.7 - 11.4, but you need to breech OSX system security framework)
- Pages (was a real alternative for many of us, each update reduced features and created incompatibility to older work files)
The list could easily extend to ...

How can I roll back from the latest update - hate it!

I can't get the quick WYSIWYG bar to show up. I want my old version back. How can I roll back?

I can't get the quick WYSIWYG bar to show up.
Not sure what that means. Can't you switch to Live View or Design View ? See screenshot.
In Creative Cloud desktop app, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.

How do I roll back the BIOS update on Satellite U400-157?

I recently updated a Tempro alert for BIOS update for the note book. I now notice that the screen blanks out a few times at PC start up. It was't there before. How do I roll back the BIOS update to an earlier one.
I don't get to see the BIOS update screen else where other that the time that I did the BIOS update.

Hi
To be honest I dont understand exactly what is your problem.
You said: . I now notice that the screen blanks out a few times at PC start up.
What does this mean exactly? Is your display black until Windows has booted up?
To be honest, I dont think that BIOS update would be the reason for that go to BIOS (press F2) and set the BIOS to default settings (F9) and save the changes (F10).
If you want to get back the earlier BIOS version, then you will need to flash the BIOS ROM module using an DOS based BIOS version. On the Toshiba European driver page you can find only the win-based versions

TS1398 My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?

My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?
i Was considerinf buying a macbook pro, but am reconsidering spending such an amount of money on a company that can screw up such a basic function. I mean you can have your iOS 8 back if this is what it means, I don't want to use your health Kit app.

You cannot 'roll back' your iOS. That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
It's not the iOS. It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue. But it's not the iOS. If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
Troubleshoot your issue.

Since 3.6.16 upgrade last night, nearly every site freezes! How can I roll back?

Last evening, Firefox upgraded to 3.6.16 automatically. Since that upgrade, nearly every site fails to load completely, and Firefox freezes! News sites, Facebook, every thing I used to have access to! What is going on, and how can I roll back from this garbage upgrade?

Hmmmm, two days and several reboots later, everything now seems to be OK. In the words of Billy T James, "Api puckertif Ino..."...

How Can I Roll Back my iTunes Library?

I'm guessing it may no tbe possible at all, but here goes.
What I would like to do with my music estate is roll back my current iTunes library file, automatically updated to iTunes 11 when updated on MPBr when this was my only PC using iTunes. Now I have three and some iOS devices too. My library has been moved from windows machines to macs and is several years old and has received 100s of hours of tweaking to get it just right.
Now my server is a PowerPC mac and I can only go as far as iTunes 10.6.xx, I want this to be always on and share the library with other PCs accross home sharing (i will sync iPhones over the wi-fi with this PC too, though it may not play with iOS7, so perhaps not).
I want to see the iTunes library on the macbooks, probably through Home Sharing, I also want to be able to sync the iphones, but only have a single copy of the music files on the server. is this possible? This will just be for when out of the house as I can also use home sharing in the house for music.
Thanks

You say you want to do this with multiple devices. Let's say you have a new iPhone 5 that requires iTunes 11. You will not be able to sync that if your base iTunes is iTunes 10.6 since your hardware will require at least whatever version of iTunes was current at the time of purchase. You're seeing this with your iOS7 phone. Anyway, unless all your hardware is old enough to use the lowest version of iTunes you need to run, you may be out of luck. You cannot share the library. Sharing media is different, and relatively easy, but it will be complex to ensure all the multiple libraries are kept up to date.
You also can't roll back iTunes libraries to earlier versions unless you kept a backup of your library from the point to which you wish to revert, or it is still in the previous libraries folder.

How can I roll back to an earlier version of OS 7 software

Can anyone advise me on how to roll back to an earlier version of OS 7?
I installed v 7.0 Bundle 2406 a few weeks ago and have had constant synch problems since. Most of these I have been able to fix by deleting 'problem' calendar appointments I have identified on the synch log. However, I have no idea how to solve the latest problem (see below). So I give-up and now want to roll back to ealier version which worked fine.

Hello BobB10 and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your BlackBerry® Torch™ 9860 smartphone.
It is not recommended to downgrade your software, however, if you wish to do so you will need to consult your mobile carriers download site at www.na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp and see if the previous software version is posted. If so, download and install it to your computer then use the BlackBerry® Desktop Software to install the older software version.
Hope this answers your question.

I updated the video driver and now the screen won't come on? how can I roll back the driver when I can't see the screen?

I am running my Mac Book Pro with Bootcamp. Leopard on one partition and Windows 7 on the other. I updated the driver for the Nvidia video card then the screen went black. I tried to boot into the MAC side but the screen doesn't even show the optional boot screen. It does however sound like it's booting, I have tried hooking up a second monitor to see if it would show on that but it doesn't. I have also tried booting from the CD using the Win 7 disk, hoping that it would use the video driver on the disk instead. I'm either not doing it right (pressing ctrl & D whilst starting up) or that doesn't work either? I'm a bit lost? Don't know how to get to it.

Take your MBP to an Apple Store or an AASP. If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, suggest that you take advantage of it & call Apple tech support.

I have 1Password for Mac and recently updated to Firefox5 for Mac and cannot locate 1Password in Plug-ins or extensions....How can I add this vital plug-in to FireFox5 OR how can I roll back things and re-install FireFox4?

I am running FireFox5 on a 2008 (Santa Rosa) MacBook Pro.
OSX 10.5 Leopard
I have the current version of 1Password v.3.5.13 (FireFox5-friendly)
I am running FireFox5 for Mac.
I have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter 0.8.5 (which, by the way is reading "Compatibility Problems" with an orange exclamation mark)
My Extensions tab shows 1Password for FireFox3 & FireFox4& Add-on Compatibility Reporter, but no 1Password for FireFox5.
(I can email a screenshot of this if you like, let me know.)
Any ideas?
I'd really rather use FireFox than Safari, but if it's a no go, (no compatibility, no rool-back) I'll be forced to dump FireFOx and use Safari (only my choice of last resort.)
JohnSea

Thanks James!
I appreciate you responding.
Since I'm running Leopard (Software reasons-Logic Studio, Final Cut Studio) my task now is to locate Firefox4 and re-install it....
But haven't found where on the Mozilla site it resides for download.....on with the the fun!
Cheers!

How can I roll back to KitKat OS?

This Lollipop OS is horrid! Runs way too much RAM & my phone is useless most of the time! I don't pay $200/month for this crud. :\

Well my mom & I have the same phone. We both are having problems with this Lollipop update. Our phones are running as crappy as our Droids did before we upgraded to the S5. I actually don't even care about the features of Lollipop. They're pointless, imo.
Can you lead me to the information on how to reset & what I should back up? Thanks!

How can I roll back from 3.0 to 2.21 ???

Since the update to 3.0, the app NetInfo doesn't work on my Iphone (company mobile) any more. I cannot sync with the Exchange server of my company any more. I wasn't allowed to do any changes or updates. So if I tell the IT-Service I will get into serious trouble.
So please tell me how I can restore to the old firmware version (I trusted apple when I did the update, so please help me).
Thank you.
Eugenius

I get disappointed when I see problems like this. I have updated two iPhone 3G and two iPod Touch without the slightest hint of a problem and I know many more who have had no issues too.
What disappoints me is the immediate desire to return to a lesser past than to solve the problem and share the learning, nothing to do with whether X or Y was somehow falling-short.
Perhaps the NetInfo app wasn't quite so 3.0 compatible as its developers thought? I've found about 15% of the ones that I've bought fall into THAT category! I've also found that there are developers with apps that will be ONLY 3.0+ compatible, so staying at 2.2.1 (or lower) would not be an option.
Most problems CAN be solved - not least of all with Exchange by deleting the account on the iPhone and creating a new one (ideally AFTER a reset!).
If you're encountering problems with your IT then you're probably not alone, so why not have a go at finding out?
Whatever your final approach and outcome, Good Luck!
