How do I DUMP ios 8 and return to the previous version?

Installed ios 8 onto my iPhone, and it immediately became a near-useless brick. Everything is now very slow. Pictures don't display properly (hard to even find the right ones). It will no longer communicate with my desktop computer when I plug it in, and photos won't transfer... they"freeze" up until I go into task manager and tell it to shut everything down, then I delete those photos from the computer. None of this was a problem before installing ios *, it all began immediately upon installation of ios 8. How do I get rid of ios * and go back to the a version that actually works?

It is, and I did... although actually it is a 4S (slight error in typing on my part).  The "update" came automatically, and the red alert icon remained there constantly. So I finally clicked on the icon to "update" it. Bad choice!  In addition, the display on the phone often goes very dark now, without any warning or prompting, nor for any particular reason (that I can figure out).

  • I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work.  How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

    I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work.  How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

    I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)."  My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac?  Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

  • How do I de-install Firefox 4 and return to the previous version?

    Firefox 4 is incredibly slow. It is making it very difficult for me to work on the internet. I want to de-install it and return to the previous version, which was much faster. Please advise me about how to de-install Firefox 4. thank you, sj

    I decide to go through and thin out my add-ons anyway, but it definitely was an add-on that was causing the slow-down. Now it's blazing again.
    Add-ons I disabled (ie, one of these or combination of, is the bad guy):

  • How can I uninstall firefox 4 and return to the version prior?

    I would like to uninstall firefox 4 and return to the prior version. how can I do this?

    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.

  • Ever since the latest version of Mozilla updated, my computer has been moving ultra-slow, probably because my computer is so old and only has Windows 2000 on it - not even XP. I don't know how to uninstall this version and return to the previous one.ng

    The latest version of Mozilla is probably not compatible w/ my computer and operating system. The computer is 10yo, and the operating system is Windows 2000. How do I uninstall the new version and return to the old version?
    Thank you!

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • How can I return to the previous version?

    ''locking this thread which was started back in February about Firefox 26 / 27''
    Yesterday, while trying to get rid of the uninvited AVG elements in my Mozilla opening page I some how installed the latest version of Mozilla which I really dislike. Given this is on my wife's computer while she is away and she does not like changes to her computer I would really appreciate it being returned to the previous version.
    I also consider your instructions on how to do anything regarding setting up Mozilla as absolutely terribly written.

    Your current level 29 is TERRIBLE on my iMac and I want to go back a level, until you fix it!!!! Help?????!!!!!

  • Firefox 6 forces you to log into e-mail again & again, since you can't view an e-mail & simply close that tab.. I want to close the tab, not exit the function I am in. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

  • IMovie 10.0.1 can i return to the previous version ??

    Any chance i could return to the previous version, im having c8ck up after c8ck up with 10.0.1 !
    PLease help !

    Yes.  If you upgraded to Mavericks from an OS with iMovie 9, the application will still be in your applications folder in a subfolder imovie 9.0.9.  When you imported your projects and events into iMovie 10 it should have left your iMovie 9 Projects and Events folders intact so you can launch imovie 9 and carry on where you left off.

  • Can I return to the previous version...I do not like version 4.0

    Some emails have trouble loading and I have to click on the Try Again to get it load. This happens to frequently. Also I used to be able to right-click on a picture in an email and the pop-up menu would give me the option to Save As. Most of the time it does not include this. Also when a picture or graphic is blank, I used to be able to right-click and the pop-up menu would give the option to reload the picture. It does not have this option most of the time now.
    Version 4.0 is a very poor upgrade. Is there anyway to return to the previous version which worked fine.

    ozzieBo:
    If you truly wish to downgrade from Firefox 4.0, I will give you the Firefox 3.6 latest version.
    Here is the link:

    Although I strongly recommend you stay on Firefox 4.0 since it has the most recent security and stability updates.

  • How can I remove iTunes 11 and return to a functional version of iTunes?

    So I was really stupid and updated my perfectly operational version of iTunes to version 11.  After discovering that version 11 is almost totally non-functional (missing a number of useful functions that someone decided were too helpful I guess), I want to delete this horrid example of software non-functionality and return to the last functional version (iTunes 10).  Please tell me there's a way to remove this software wart and return to a functional iTunes.

    I found the following way to return to 10.7.  I moved the following directories and files to the desktop before I deleted iTunes 11:
    Album Artwork (folder)
    iTunes Media (folder)
    Previous iTunes Libraries (folder)
    The following file is found in the Previous iTunes Libraries:
    iTunes Library 2012-11-29.itl (the date on your file will vary depending on when you decided to add version 11)
    The following are files found in the iTunes directory
    iTunes Library Genus.itdb
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    Once you have copied these files to your desktop, you have to remove iTunes 11.  I used the uninstall option in CleanMyMac.
    I used this explanation to return to iTunes 10.7:
    Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20431349
    iTunes 10.7 for OS X  http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    You will have to rescue your old iTunes library from your Previous Libraries folder and rename it iTunes Library.itl because a newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/mesage/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash from previous iTunes library file.
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    Other issues:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20432309 - solution to mobile devices saying they need to be restored after downgrading
    Once you have reinstalled 10.7, put the files and folders you copied to the desktop back into iTunes overwriting the new files that were created during the install.  Restart iTunes and you should see iTunes start to reinstall all the missing files.  This doesn't seem to recreate the playlists but I can fix that problem myself.
    So far, it seems to be working.  YMMV and I'm not recommending you try this, I'm just saying that it's worked for me.

  • How do I return to the previous version of Java?

    After the latest Apple Update I have
    After the latest Apple-Update, I use Java 6 Update 24 for Mac OS X 10.6.
    If I try to upload the files in Safari and clicking the button for the upload, the window don't open to select the files.
    If I try the same with Firefox, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
    It is possible to get back to the previous version (perhaps Java 6 Update 22) and how?

    Same probs here! Cannot acces drop-down menus in ebay, it screwed up my email and I can't access links, other stuff too! I thought these guys were reputable? And they want to drop support for the older version? NOT REAL HELPFUL! PLUS, YOU HAVE TO JUMP THRU HOOPWS TO DOWNLOAD OLDER VERSION, INSTEAD of putting access to it on the SAME page as the groovy new FF 4! C'mon guys! Can't you see this thing is not READY yet???? -Al McD.

  • How do I downgrade from iTunes 9.2 to the previous version?

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 9.2, when I connect my iPod to my computer, my iPod mounts and is recognized by iTunes but it does not sync. It simply locks up iTunes. Based on what I've read in these forums, people are having lots of trouble with iTunes 9.2. So I would like to uninstall 9 and then go back and install the previous version. I'm worried about losing my library, settings, etc.
    Can someone tell me what procedure I should follow to get iTunes previous version back onto my computer? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.
