Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

How can I undo the firefox browser refresh and get my old browser & settings, etc. back?

I accidentally did the browser refresh yesterday (2-17-2015) without reading further down the page on what that would do. It of course gave me a fresh browser. The problem is I lost my customized appearance (Dark blue fox, I believe), the add-ons I really have come to really on, etc. Firefox did create a folder with the old settings. I'm not that savoy understanding how to get that folder to open, run, whatever it takes to put all the things I want back into working order on the firefox browser. Please excuse my lack of proper terminology, jargon, etc. I know enough to be confused and everything I have learned IT has come from stumbling through it over the last 15 years of having my own PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please keep any solution details as plain and simple for a novas to understand and execute as possible.
Many, many Thanks, Ottodewy

When you reset (refresh) Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Note that is is also possible to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
That way the current profile isn't moved to the desktop, so you can return to it at any time.

How can I uninstall iOS 7.0.4 and go back to my previous version on iPad

I installed a software update on my husbands iPad...and the whole look of everything changed... He hates it. Is there a way to uninstall the software update and go back to his previous version? and please understand that we both are not very computer literate, so make it simple if possible. Thanks for help please!

Remember, I am computer illiterate, so I'm sorry if I sound stupid but is iOS 7.0.4 what I updated to? It just said there was a software update available, so I just started the download. The look of everything changed including hid calendar that he uses for his business...we are old and he doesn't understand it. I was just assuming that the iOS 704 thing was new. Could it be any other kind of update that's reversible? Thank you for your time!

How can I undo the last firefox update? I've had nothing but problems since!

Ever since I updated to firefox 3.6.10 firefox keeps freezing on me as well as doing all kinds of weird things making it just about impossible to browse or post on the web. So how do I get back to the older version???

Go to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ , click on Mozilla Firefox under Internet, and you can download ANY version of Firefox that was ever created.

A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing. How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed. How can I combine them to make one album?

First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved. Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue! I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info". However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album. I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library. I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can. Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this. Thanks so much for your patience!

How can I disable Notification Centre in IOS5 and go back to getting the big blue text message notifications?

I have Iphone 4S on iOS 5
I flicked the button in settings to set up Notification Centre, but now I want to disable Notification Centre as the text notification is nowhere near as good as the old 'big blue' text received box.
1- where do I find button to DISABLE Notification Centre? (I can't find one)
2- how do I revert back to the old big blue box text notification?
Thanks

I've tried literally every option available in "Notifications" to get back the big blue box, but it seems that every option I choose nothing really changes.
The messages continue to come up with the small box, green Message icon, and the name and Text Message beneath.
Is there no other way, or some sort of trick, to get the blue box back?
Thanks!

How can I mount an encrypted image automatically and get a password window

Hello
I know how to mount an encrypted image automatically when I login and get myself a password window. (I actually how I did it at the moment though). I had a cronjob log me out at say 5am every day and I force myself to login everyday.
Now I have a need to keep the login session forever. I would therefore like to mount the image automatically at a specified time daily and get the same window prompt. If do it from a bash prompt with 'hdiutil attach /path' I am getting a password prompt at the bash instead of a password windows. I am thinking of putting that command in cronjob.
What must I do to get a password window automagically? If doing it via cronjob is wrong, I am open to other proper Mac way.
Thanks
mr.wu

You can use Automator and iCal. Use Automator's Run Shell Sript action and enter hdiutil attach /path. Save the workflow as an iCal plugin. Set iCal to run the workflow when you want. You can also save the workflow as an application, and set up an iCal alarm to run that application at a specified time.

How can I wait till data is loaded and get the latest entities in HTML CLient

This is my first try using a JavaScript component. I found a nice timeline-Scheduler on github:
Timeline Javascript Scheduler
I made an nearly empt new Screen and I am using LS only to get the data and to switch to the next date.
This works fine for the first date I set in the created.
But if I change to the next day, there are still the just loaded records. When I switch again to the following date I get the records from the day before...
myapp.dispo.divcontainer_render = function (element, contentItem) {
// We need this div for the timeline
$(element).append('<div class="calendar"></div><div class="realtime-info"></div>');
//Bind to the date
contentItem.dataBind("screen.suchDispodat", function (value) {
var querydat = value;
var items = [];
var sections = [];
//The querydat is set to the right date but the records I get are from the last executed query.
contentItem.screen.getQuerydispobydatfahrerorderfahrer(querydat).then(function (result) {
var dispos = result.data;
dispos.forEach(function (dispo) {
How can I bind the refresh to something like data loaded?

Uninstall Airport extreme 2008-004 update and go back to previous version

Hello
This morning I installed the airport extreme 2008-004 update. Since then, I have not been able to access the internet when my VPN (Check Point) is active. I can access the internet if I "stop" the VPN. I use a Netgear WNR834M router and I have not had problems between this router and the AirBook before. Even when I am unable to access the internet, it appears that I am connected to the wireless network. I have stopped and started modem, router, and Mac several times, to no avail.
I had a good deal of trouble with a VPN before, and rather than attempting to fix this, I would like to just uninstall the update and restore what I had before. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thank you very much

Warren,
If you haven't yet, try these suggestions. They have worked for others.
*_Slow & Dropped Internet Connection After Airport Update_*
The suggestions below have recently helped others after a System or Airport update. Consider each topic separately, If one does not resolve your issue, move on to the next one.
*Reset/Change DNS Settings*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select Airport device on left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"? Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click "Update".
Next, on all Macs affected, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
Then click, "Advanced...".
Click the "DNS" tab.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"? Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
Click "OK" then click "Apply".
Finally, reboot your Mac.
Now see if you have internet access all around.
*Reset Airport Service*
Launch System Preferences --> Network Preferences.
Highlight the Airport Service on the left.
Click the Action menu (tiny gear button) in the lower left.
Select "Make Service Inactive".
Then select "Make Service Active".
Click "Apply".
*Delete & Add Airport Service*
Launch System Preferences --> Network Preferences.
Highlight the Airport Service on the left.
Click the “-” button in the lower left to remove the Airport Service.
Next, click the “+” button and add an Airport Service.
Click “Apply”.
Note: Removing the AirPort interface resets your preferred AirPort networks. You will need to add preferred networks again.
*Reset Network/Airport Settings*
1. Go to Macintosh HD --> Library --> Preferences --> SystemConfiguration Folder
Drag the following files to the desktop:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.network.identification.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
Restart your Mac.
Go System Preferences --> Network.
From the “Location” menu select “Edit Locations”.
Click the “+” button and name it “Home” or “My Network”.
Click “Done”.
Highlight “Airport” on the left, and verify that your network appears beside “Network Name”.
Click “Apply”.
Click “Advanced…”.
Click the “Airport” tab, and add your network to the “Preferred Networks”list.
Click “OK” and then click “Apply” once more.
Now see if your connectivity issues are resolved. Later you can Trash the .plist files you dragged to the Desktop.
*Archive & Install*
As a last resort, an Archive & Install using your Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) installation DVD will usually resolve this issue. Then use Software Update to bring your system up to date. It appears that reapplying the recent updates in this condition, does not cause the problems to return.
Let us know if any of the above suggestions helped to resolve your connectivity issues.
Cheers!

On my new 15" MacBook Pro (June 2011) using Calendar I click the corner arrow to enlarge the screen. Now it is MORE than full size. No arrow visible to return to small size. Menu bar can't be grabbed. I sweep and get back to desktop. No small screen?

I installed Lion on my newish 15" MacBook Pro. When using Calendar I click the corner arrow to enlarge the screen. Now ithe calendar is MORE than full size, no arrow visible to return to small size. The Menu bar doesn't respond. when I try grabbing it to move the whole screen sideways. When I sweep I get back to desktop. I can sweep back to the calendar, but can't make it small again. Menubar options include changing font size, but nothing about reverting to smaller window size. Any suggestions?

How do you uninstall Quicktime 7.1.3 and get back to 7.1.2

As many of you seem to be experiencing, Quicktime 7.1.3 is causing iPhoto 6 to crash when pictures edited in Photoshop are opened in iPhoto.
I want to get back to Quicktime 7.1.2 so that I can use iPhoto properly.

Hi there,
The only way to go back in time is to use your install disk and run an archive and install... but then you will need to upgrade again incrementally
I would try posting your question either in the G5 forum or the quicktime forum here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=122
