How can you go back to earlier version?

I've read interesting posts by people who went back to an earlier version of iTunes to get around the iTunes 6 problems. Can someone tell me how to do this? I tried to do a system restore and it doesn't work.

Hi Dr. Deb.
I followed Paul Haines instructions in this thread...
Gary Baker, "How to get rid of the iTunes V5 and revert to V4.9" #27, 12:45pm Oct 20, 2005 CDT
It worked for me. However, iTunes may leave a library.xml file in your "My Music" folder which I had to move manually as when I tried to launch Ver4.9 for the first time, it failed as it wouldn't recognise a later version's library.xml file.
iTunes then opened but with nothing in the library until I selected "Add Folder To Library" selected the folder where my music was and then I had it all back in the library.
Hope this helps?
Regards...

The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

Apple wisely leaves a copy of iMovie version 9 installed in the Application folder when you download version 10.

I can only use version 4.0 for my online college classes so how can I go back to using version 4.0?

I upgraded to version 5.0 but am unable to use because it is not supported with my online college platform. How can I go back to using version 4.0? If I do not find a solution I will have to find a new browser.

I had the same problem (issue with Google Apps and XUL runner etc) of needing to downgrade. To pull it off I went to the main Firefox download page (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/) and followed the link to OTHER SYSTEMS AND LANGUAGES which took me to a page that included a link on the right hand side to download Firefox 3.6.16.
(The stuff below pertains to Windows. If you are on a different OS your steps will vary)
To do the actual downgrade (and there may be some other steps that would be wise to take but this is what worked for me) I merely renamed "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" to "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox bad" (in case I want to try troubleshooting the issue later) and then ran the "Firefox Setup 3.6.16.exe" file that downloaded from that link. That solved my problem and I'm back and running 3.6.16.
In case you don't feel comfortable changing things in your Program Files directory you might try a different approach and try uninstalling via the Control Panel and Add and Remove Programs (or whatever it is called on the version of Windows you are on) and then running the installation file. I didn't go that route so I can't tell you how well that might work.

Previous versions of iTunes won't use the iTunes library (newer version) file
Fortunately, iTunes makes backup copies of its library,
So when you reinstall, you have to delete (or rename just in case) library file, you have to copy (and rename) one the backups (usually the most recent one) to take its place
the library file is called         >>         iTunes Library (extension itl)
and should be in the          >>          Desktop\Libraries\Music\iTunes\           folder
the backups should be in the    >>     Desktop\Libraries\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Library\        folder
that should make iTunes work, wiith most or all of your library intact

How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

I've noticed in AIR 2.7 for Android, that now the bottom icons in Android 3.0 Honeycomb are hidden (replaced by small dots) in AIR 2.7, whereas in AIR 2.6 they were always visible. That's cool. Since the bottom bar can never be hidden in Android 3, at least now those icons are less visible (unless you intentionally touch the bottom bar, then the icons show up for a few seconds).
BUT I also noticed in AIR 2.7 compiled apps, the native "Menu" icon is not visible anymore, even after touching the bottom bar. In AIR 2.6 you could see and press that button (which can be captured from AIR so you can show a custom settings menu or whatever).
So, quoting the subject --> How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

There is a work around and a reason for the menu issue. Honeycomb doesn't natively support a menu softkey, it is only to support old apps comiled in phone API levels. If you compile a Honeycomb app in 2.7 or 3.0, it is expected you manage the settings within the larger tablet UI framework. See below link for more info and work around.

HT201250 How can you just back up photos. 2000 of them

How can you just back up photos with Time Machine. 2000 of them

I am very computer illeriate so please dumb it down so I understand.
Hook up the Seagate drive (don't use their software) to the Mac and a TimeMachine window should appear, click yes and let it work for hours until completed. Hook up occassionally and it will backup your entire boot drive.
If you need to format the drive, open Disk Utiltiy in your Applications > Utilities folder, click on your new drive on the left and Partition, 1, Option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled as the format and click apply.
You should get another external drive, this will be your storage drive for a duplicate of all your photo's.
Connect it to the Mac, format it the same way as above, then you need to drag and drop your photo's to it.
If your photo's are in iPhoto, then inside your Pictures folder is a iPhoto Library, drag and drop it onto the icon of the external storage drive every time you want to make a backup.
The first time you drag and drop, it will copy it.
The next time you do it, it will ask if you want to replace the iPhoto Library with the new one.
If your sure you want to do this, then say YES.
If you want to make multiple dated backups of the iPhoto Library, double click on the external hard drive icon and it will open into a window.
Use the Finder > New Folder and you can click on the name and change the type to date, then drag the more recent copy of iPhoto Library to that folder.
This way you can have more than one copy of the iPhoto Library on the external storage drive at the same time as they are in folders. This way you can create a archive of dated photo's.
Good Luck, and take a class or have someone teach you about basic OS X user interface.

How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the passoword?, How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the password?

Help! My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it. How can she get back into it. Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way. Thanks!

Hey KimmyP123,
Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS1717 i updated itunes and now i cant find half my music- how can i return to the earlier version

i updated my Itunes to the newest version- now it cant find half my music and my computer is reall acting wonky since i installed. how can i uninstall to the previous version?

iTunes has no serial number.
If iTunes says it can't find the files, it means it can't read them from where they should be.
iTunes doesn't store the music actually within itself, it just keeps the location of the song, and then reads it from there. E.g. Song is in 'My Music', add it too iTunes. When iTunes plays the song, it's playing it from 'My Music', not from a full song file in the iTunes library.
So, do you have your music files stored on the actual hard-drive of your computer, or on an external hard drive? If external hard drive, are you getting this error both when it's connected, AND when it's disconnected, or only when it's disconnected?

How can I go back to the version before Firefox 4?

I use a program called RoboForm2Go which stores user names and passwords. I have installed them on a flash drive. I can't use that program with the new FF4, doesn't give me a toolbar for that program. It worked fine when I had the previous version of Firefox and would like to go back to that version.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

How can I revert to an earlier version of Thunderbird? 31.1.2 is giving me bugs.

Thunderbird has been working great for me for years. I'm on a Windows 7 desktop computer.
The new version 31.1.2 got auto-installed yesterday, and now I have the popup window to "Add Security Exception" happening all the time, even with different mail servers (Yahoo and Google). I can't believe that both Yahoo and Google simultaneously had their certificates go out of date. So I think the problem is in Thunderbird.
I've submitted a bug report on Bugzilla, but for now I'd just like to revert back to version 31.1.1 (or whatever preceded 31.1.2). How can I do this?

Well, reverting to 31.1.1 did not fix the problem.
''Did you bother to check why you'd get the exception prompt? There must a reason for it, and I don't think it's due to a bug.''
How would I check?
''So I think the problem is in Thunderbird.''
''What makes you believe that? This forum would be swamped with complaints if that was a general problem. The problem is much more likely on your end. ''
Since the update was very new - and I had done nothing to my knowledge that should have caused the problem, I thought that many people would be seeing the problem.
''I doubt this will fix your problem. Please state what error message you get for the Google and Yahoo certs.''
You were right. I have attached a screen shot of the error message. It's the same for both Yahoo and Google.
I don't get any other message, but Thunderbird has become EXTREMELY slow at downloading new messages.

How can I go back to previous version of firefox cause 4 sucks and I am going to have to go back to internet explorer?

This version is horrible, and I want to downgrade back to previous version if I can't then I am going back to internet explorer, the search engine is an aberration...just trying to perform a search for hotmail sign in page and had to click on have a dozen responses before I find the one I want where before was right there at the top. If I cannot go back to a previous version, just tell me so I can start using internet explorer, it is horrible as well but at least search engine was not as frustrating to use!!!!

How can I access and download earlier versions of Adobe Reader to put on my older model iPod Touch?

We have model PC086LL iPod Touched from roughly 2008 for our school that are rarely used anymore because we've updated to iPads. But, I want to be able to use some of the iPod Touches to store files to access remotely in emergencies. Unfortunately I cannot access earlier versions of the Adobe Reader app that are compatible with this version iPod. How do I get access to those earlier versions?

SGMS Knight,
Based on the model number that you provided, your device is an iPod Touch 2nd generation.
According to the following Wikipedia page, the highest supported operating system for the iPod Touch 2nd generation is iOS 4.2.1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices#iPod_Touch
Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.0.1 is compatible with iOS 5. However, the App Store does not have the earlier version of Adobe Reader that is compatible with iOS 4.
As a user, you can download and install Adobe Reader for iOS only from the App Store.
You may be able to find other free PDF viewers that are compatible with iOS 4 in the App Store.
Good luck.

How can I get back an older version of a document in Pages from the icloud

In Pages I thought I could edit down and rename a document and it would keep the original intact - how can I get the original back?

If you resaved the file and changed its name it is wherever you saved it to.
If you changed the name of the open file then that is your only copy.
You can go back to previous versions by various methods. In Pages 5 it is:
Menu > File > Revert
