Two coc villages in one game center account -- how do i get rid of the new one?

I badly need your help guys. Im frustrated already with this problem on my coc. Here is the situation. I already have a coc account on my iphone 4g, then i signed in my game center account on my aunt's ipad and downloaded coc, thinking it would automatically load my village and i could play on larger screen. But it did not happened, insted, it created a new village using my game center account. Now the problem is everytime I open my village on my iphone and the welcome note pops up, there follows the notification saying, "do you want to load chief $&@$&@'s village with town hall level $&@? Warning: progress in the current game will be lost."---- how do I get rid of the new village without losing the progress on my old village?

I do not want to half to install things into my PC that i do not trust! I just want this gone and like i said Firefox should of given us the choice to add this and not forced us, because if there is no actual way to remove it then il be forced to remove Firefox till they either remove it or allow us to remove it!

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

How do I get rid of the new itunes?

I have just downloaded the new itunes and it has already made my dislike for this player greater! I had originally arranged all my music into Albums, which is now art work rather than the choice of art work/List/or a mix; list is what I prefered and it takes about a week to scroll through.
So how do I get rid of this new one and go back to the old one!?

There's ways to do it without Time Machine. See below.
I gues they don't scrutinise their changes like they used to
It depends upon what you didn't like. Many of the changes were deliberate, even if we don't like them.
=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.
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
- If you encounter error -42408:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 > Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) - including specific error codes.
Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested). A variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

HT201365 How can I get rid of the new download ?

The new update is a disaster for me . How do I get rid of it ? The graphics have changed the quality of the colours so much that my colour blind partner cannot use my phone if he needs to. In an emergency this could be awful. We could use the old system without any trouble. Please sort this one out quickly APPLE !

Well, to start out with, you cannot downgrade. It is not supported by Apple. Next, if you want Apple to hear what you have to say, since they are not here, we are all users like you, go to the feedback page at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

How do I get rid of the new "Album by Artist" column in iTunes 10?

Just installed iTunes 10. It has added an obnoxious column, "album by artist" in my music listings that I want to delete. I went view>view options. The album artist box is not checked, so how do I get rid of this column?

Try clicking on the tab itself. Unless it's changed in version 10, that tab toggles from Album to Album by Artist to Album by Year. If you don't want the album column, go to view and turn it off.

Try to set the browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar pref to true on the about:config page.

If you want to have the window title bar visible then you can find that setting at the bottom of the customize window.

How do I get rid of a new tool bar that appeared after updating to 3.6.13?

The last time Firefox updated, a new toolbar appeared. I got rid of most of the buttons but there is still a search part I cannot get rid of. How can I make this go away???

There are also other things that need attention:

How do I get rid of the new toolbar that was added by versions 20 and 21?

I have tried both versions 20 and 21 and both have the bugs below so I ended up having to re-install version 19:
1.) Versions 20 and 21 add a new toolbar that has nothing but a "Firefox" button on it - and no way to get rid of this toolbar is provided. It wastes far too much space on my laptop's screen - that button should have been put on one of the other toolbars or simply made part of the icon set that users can use to customize their menubar or other toolbars.
2.) That new toolbar is not customizable. Hence, I don't have the option of recovering screen space by moving everything from my menubar onto the new toolbar then hiding the menubar.
3.) The back, forward, and stop|reload buttons on my menubar no longer work. Moving them back to the navigation toolbar and showing that toolbar does not solve the problem. Nor can I right-click on a web page and select those functions from the context menu: they are permanently disabled there too.
4.) I can no longer right click on the menubar or a toolbar and get a context menu from which you I can pick a "customize" option - I can't get a context menu AT ALL. In order to customize things for versions 20 or 21, I first have to reinstall version 19, do the customizations, then reinstall version 20 or 21.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How can i get rid of this new version of itunes?

my computer installed the new version of itunes on its own and i hate it i dont want it it's SO confusing and i want the old one back how can i do it?

You cannot go back, but by enabling the sidebar you can get back the easier interface.
the following pic is from my windows laptop, just look through your settings and one of them says show sidebar.

How do I get rid of the new "status bar" at the bottom of the page where the web address pops up?

On the left hand side of the page in the bottom corner, the web address pops up every time a new page is loading. What if I don't want that? How do I disable it?

miss.bev.brown, Right-click on a toolbar, then click on teh "Add-on bar" entry to de-select it.
If the add-on bar keeps coming back, you will have an add-on that is causing this. One that does this is the McAfee Site Advisor, disabling or uninstalling it stops that from happening.

How do I get rid of the new version that will not permit me to choose my search engine?

I just want my old version that functions properly back. I can no longer choose search engines. Can't search Amazon or Ebay. Don't want to install work arounds on my computer.

hello acronshaw, all your search providers will appear once you start typing a search term into the search bar...
this has been a change in the search bar in firefox 34 - the new behaviour will make it easier to set one single default search engine but to use different providers on a one-off basis. its workings are explained in [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]]
