How do I go back to version 4? I can't print

I am pulling my hair out, I can not print in Firefox. Can print in any other program. Firefox tells me my printer is not activated. Never happened until I upgrades. Will never upgrade again if I can get bbavk to working My computer is a Dell studio. Printer is a canon MP830. I have had to go back to internet explorer to print things I needed. I have also copied some files to a word processor & then printed but all this is a LOT of unnecessary work.

Regarding the printer reset, you use the about:config preferences page to make that change. For future reference:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''printer''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''print.print_printer''' and choose Reset. You can reset your other printer settings as well, which may take many clicks.
Firefox 5 is a security (and features) update for Firefox 4. Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
One other thought: if you don't already have a print-to-PDF program, you may want to get one for those times where you have problems printing to a physical printer. Free ones include: [http://www.primopdf.com/index.aspx PrimoPDF], [http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp CutePDF Writer] (requires two downloads), and [http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator PDFCreator] (uncheck the bonus toolbar box during installation to avoid extra add-ons).

I recently had to install a new hard drive in my computer. This caused me to have to reload all content back to my iTunes and iPod. I have many apps on my iPod and i don't know how to transfer those back to my iTunes. Can anyone help?

Right clicking on your ipod in the device list an d choosing "transfer purchases" will copy apps and bought media from iTunes to your computer. Due to the new iTunes library on your new HD, iTunes will erase your ipod during the first sync. To save your data to the computer take a look at this article about saving data from your device to a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Basically it's backing up manually, transferring her purchases (apps and bought music), letting iTunes erase the ipod due to the new iTunes library, and restoring from the manual backup again, to get all the data and settings back.
Make sure your new computer account is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows. How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the power outage might have corrupted the partition for OS X. I would suggest booting from the Install DVD that came with your Mac while holding down the C key. Once you have selected the language start up Disk Utility from the pull down menu and repair the disk. Once you have done that then repair permissions also.

Have to reinstall Windows. Lightroom is an upgrade going back to version 2. Can I Install version 5 without having an older version installed?

Have to re-install windows. My version of Lightroom 5 is an upgrade going all the way back to version 2. Can I re-install version 5 without having an older version installed?

Can I re-install version 5 without having an older version installed?
Yes, definitely.
Installing older, unnecessary versions simply to install the version 5 upgrade would be a waste of everybody's time and your hard drive space.
Just download and install Lightroom 5.6
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
Enter your Lightroom 5 serial number then enter the serial number for the latest version of Lightroom that you own prior to that (e.g. Lightroom 4 or 3 or 2).

How Do I roll-back to Version 6.0.5?

iTunes 7 is despicable. It crashes on me every other minute, and has to go. I tried rolling back to Version 6.0.5, but now I get a message that reads:
The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
I've completely uninstalled the evil Vs. 7 and made sure all Apple updater files were removed too, so why are bits of it lurking in my pc stopping me from getting my music back?
This is a nightmare. 2nd total iPod nightmare. I'm very close to calling it quits with this junk.
Please help!!!

Excellent....I did a search for the file name and then opened containing folder and deleted it all.
Version 6.0.5 is working fine like it did before.
I cannot believe how bad Version 7 was on my PC.

The Google Toolbar doesn't work with Firefox 5 and all my bookmarks are saved in the toolbar. How do I go back to version 4?

Unfortunately any enhancements that you've made with FF5 don't outweigh the loss of my bookmarks in the Google Toolbar. How do I go back to FF4?

Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

How do I go back to version 3.6? I don't like this version.

I don't like several of the changes in version 4. I want to go back to the previous version I was using. How do I do that? Version 3.6 would be fine. I hope this can be done. I used to like Firefox and I really don't want to go back to Explorer, but I will if I can't get this resolved.

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
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.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

How do I go back to version 3.6.16?? I don't like version 4!!!

In version 4 I can't find the refresh button, the back button is missing and I can't find a way to add a new tab......I want to go back to the previous version on my desktop computer!!!!

Thanks for the NON-help!! The link that was presented showed 3.6.16 for only foreign languages. Regarding non-support for 3.6.16, I suggest to the developers of FireFox that they quit mucking around with it and leave items in the same place as they were in 3.6.16. I don't have time to be researching new methods of doing this and finding out how to make things worked as they did before. I was perfectly happy with 3.6.16. If you insist on NOT make version 4 more friendly then I will have to go to Netscape.....don't want to because AOL owns it but will go there if your firefox is not fixed. And yes right now it is BROKEN....I couldn't find the refresh button, I couldn't find how to add another tab and just didn't like the look of it because of the placement of stuff. You folks broke it....I ain't using it broken!!!!

I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 7.0, can I print my album in New Zealand or Australia?

I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 8.0 which is iphoto 09 can I print my album in New Zealand?

Yes -- http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing
but to upgrade you will need to purchase an iLife DVD from ebay or Amazon or other source - older versions of iPhoto are not available from the App Store - either iLife '09 or '11 will work on 10.6.8
beware that sometimes books (albums are logical organzational elements in iPhoto) sometimes will change with upgrades so you may need to make some changes after upgrading - be sure to carefully preview prior to ordering the book

How to create a back-up version of your helpsystem

My institution is going through a conversion of our core systems in September of this year and I need to develop a process for updating the 700 helpfiles I have within my helpsystem. Is there a way to create a mirror image of my helpsystem so that I can work con-currently on both helpsystems? This way when it comes time for conversion in September, I can simply publish the mirror image copy that has been updated with the correct procedures and the old version would no longer be live.
I am currently using RH7 but we are in the process of being updated to RH9 but I am not there yet. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Hello again
Personally, I dislike just double-clicking the XPJ to open things up. It may work fine on your system and if it does, I'd say go for it. But I'm notorious for installing many different versions of RoboHelp and other apps on the same system. So I have avoided working that way to open projects because I want to easily control what version of RoboHelp opens when I open a project. My way of working involves first opening RoboHelp (the version I want to use for the session) then opening the project.
Can't help you there with adding the project back to source control. I'm aware of Source Control. I know how it's supposed to work in theory. But I've never used it with RoboHelp. At least not in the recent methods where it's all integrated and RoboHelp operates on your behalf by checking things in and out and all that rot. Personally, I've always avoided integrating because it adds a new level of complexity to the mix. This thread is an excellent example of just one of the many reasons.
Certainly I think I'd try by reversing the steps. And as with anything where you are modifying files, I cannot stress this enough. backups Backups BACKUPS!!!!!
Cheers and best of luck to you... Rick

How do I get back to version pre 10.1

I am in a horrible mess with 10.1. How can I revert to the previous version please?

Do you have a copy of the previous version of the software? Did you save your events and projects when you updated them? If yes, you can go back to 10.0.x.

How do I go back to version 6?

Can someone take me step by step on how to go back to a version 6 of iTunes without losing any songs or my playlists? I know where to get version 6 but just trying to reinstall that fails because iTunes says I have a later version already installed. I stupidly upgraded to 7.02.16 and when playing a playlist for example I get a lot of skipping when one song ends and another starts. Thanks.

If you have successfully uninstalled 7 and installed 6, you will find a backup copy of your version 6 library in the Previous iTunes Libraires folder. The one you want should be dated the same as the date you first intalled 7. Of course you will have lost anything you did to the library since then.
Just copy this file into your iTunes folder and rename it after backing up the other library files somewhere else.
I had to reauthorise my computer after doing this, so it as well to check purchased music plays before plugging your iPod.

Where is the EXACT version number shown? Where is the menu link to the Help file? Why is there no scroll bar? The new iTunes is terrible in more ways than I can list... how do I switch back to version 10?

The newest iTunes version has no Help option. Why? And, no ability to find out the version number.
The new iTunes, when in album view in Windows 7, has NO SCROLLBARS, so it is impossible to scroll the albums. Why?
Answer these questions, as I am an AAPL shareholder and I am NOT happy with these and other changes you've made to iTunes.

The newest iTunes version has no Help option. Why? And, no ability to find out the version number.
You may need to bring up your Menu Bar to see the Help menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Once you've got your Help menu showing, go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen, as per the previous versions.

How do I go back to version 5, your version 6 says my web protection cant be used AFTER it updates not before and I want to go back to version 5

I dont want version 6, I had version 5 happily running and it said I had to update, I have removed firefox for the time being, If I cant have version 5 again working, I will use another browser

Which security program are you using?
Have you checked for updates for that program?
Norton has a patch for Firefox 6.
