How do i restore an old version of the mail program?

My MacBook is running 10.6. I just did a software update and now cannot open my mail program. How do I restore back to my old version

You don't.
Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
The solution has been to:
1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

How do I remove an old version of the Apple Software Updater from a Windows XP machine without a software disk?

How do I remove an old version of the Apple Software Updater program from a Windows XP SP3 machine
without an Apple Software disk? I keep getting a message saying that I need such a disk to uninstall
the old program so I can install Itunes software so I can download apps for my new Iphone 5S.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

Does it go through properly this time?

How do I restore an old version of a Numbers document?

I've made a bunch of updates to a Numbers spreadsheet, and realized that I had deleted several rows when I shouldn't have. Help. I need to restore an old version, but I don't see an option for that when I right-click on a document.

It seem to me that Apple forgot tracking, locking and versioning.

How Do I Get My Old Version Back "The Way It Was"

FF updated itself and was shocked at the absolutely awful, terrible, horrible changes that have been made. I learnt a lesson, dont ever tic auto update.
I want to go back to my Old Version, just the way it was. Tried a system restore and it made things worse, Ive lost all my bookmarks. How do I get back to my original configuration?
I posted another comment but the "Thought Police" are out in force, you mustn't be seen to be criticizing the, New, Shiny, better than ever, version. Which in my humble opinion goes against the principles that the "Old FireFox" was based on.
If there isnt a way to get the old firefox back, bookmarks and all, are there any other browsers (Non Mozilla, Google, Microsoft) out there that are worth changing to?

Pale Moon is firefox in a different set of cloths
If the old firefox is no longer supported or is totally insecure as you allege, I was looking for a recommendations for "New" browser which doesnt belong to the "Corporate Mainstream"
And as for the Thought Police just check home many post have been closed when they criticise the ChromeFox

How can I restore an older version (before the sync)?

I'm using Numbers on my iPad and my Macbook.
Yesterday I opened my Macbook and for some reason it opened the Numbers app but didn't sync.
I didn't really need to work on the file so I just left it open.
A few hours later I wanted to do some work on my iPad.
It prompted me with a "there's a newer version on your Macbook" and asked me if I want to sync to that version.
I actually forgot I didn't do any work on my computer and tapped on the sync button.
Now I lost all of the information since before the sync.
How can I restore the older version on the iPad - before the sync?

From your last backup.

What is the deal with the new Mavericks version of the Mail program..? I cannot simply double click in the address book to place names in the address line?

I can no longer simply double click on a name in the contacts list to place that name into an an email??
You now have to select a single name(or a group), and hit the "TO" button.
Have the engineers at Apple gone nuts?? They just made it more difficult to add names?? Are they going for a windows workability??
If anyone out there can tell me how to go back to this feature, please, please let me know..
Adding addresses is now not working very well....?? Please help!
Randy

OK, JUST TO CLARIFY: I OPEN MY MAIL PROGRAM. I then start a new letter. I then click on the little person icon button which opens up the address/contacts list. This action does not open up the address book as such.
I simply want to select various contacts from the list. But now I can no longer simply go down the list to double click on those contacts that I want to automatically drop into the TO field of my new message. It does not work any longer in Mavericks??
Now I have to click on each contact, and then go up, and click again on the TO button ....
Can Apple please stop making tasks more difficult?? The previous version worked great, and now it has been upgraded so that it doesn't work as simply as it did??
Frustrated.!!!

HT1414 How do you restore an old backup? The new one with the stuff I didn't need was backed up and overwrote my old one.

Pages wasn't working so someone told me to delete it and redownload it. Of course, our school told us not to use Cloud since there wasn't much space and now I lost most of my notes. I think I backed it up before I deleted it though but when I reconnected by iPad, it rebacked up everything and I don't know how to restore from previous backups. Help please!

You may not have any previous backups if iTunes overwrote the only backup that you have.
Launch iTunes on your computer (do not connect the iPad yet) and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. You can also see if you have multiple backups for the iPad in that window. If you do - Click OK and quit iTunes. If you don't have another backup, just turn on auto sync again. There is nothing that that you can do if you don't have another backup.
Assuming that you did have another backup - connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name under devices and select - Restore from Backup. If you have multiple backups, you can select the one that you want from the drop down menu in the pop up window.

How to identify a message as Spam in the mail program?

If ipad mail shows me a message that is clearly spam, what do I do? Does the ipad filter spam at all?

bobgoldstein wrote:
I see. But that implies that I need to use my ISP's web mail on Safari in order to check the spam folder for false positives.
Not necessarily.
My ISP uses SPAM Assassin and I get a single email every day identifying all SPAM.
I can then go and have it not marked as SAPM/whitelisted/redilvered.

I want to restore my old version of firefox and my security that was disabled as well as all my plugins, add ons, and so forth. How do I do that?

I want to restore my old version of firefox. I also want to restore my security that was disabled and all my plugin and add ons. How do I return to where I was?

The only fully supported and updated versions of Firefox are 3.6.22 and 6.0.2. All other versions contain security of stability errors that have not and will not be corrected.
'''''"...my security that was disabled..."'''''
Any toolbar that your security application installs into Firefox may have been disabled because the developer has not updated their toolbar.
*The functioning of your security application should not be affected, just the toolbar.
*You can try updating your security product as some security application developers have recently released updates of their products that are Firefox 6 compatible.
*You can visit and/or post on your security application developer's forum to see if they can make suggestions for you or let you know about their plans to update for Firefox 6 compatibility and to confirm that your security application is still fully functional, just the toolbar is disabled.
Firefox has a built-in function that provides one of the major functions of most security application toolbars. '''''Safe Browsing''''', the built-in Firefox component, will warn you when you try to go to a known Malware or Phishing site:

How do I restore an adjusted version from Time Machine?

I use time machine.
How do I restore an adjusted version?
E.g. I take a 1000 pix, bring them into a project, spend a few days making adjustments.
Client cancels project.
I delete project.
Month later I figure out a new market for that project. (Yeah, I shouldn't have been so quick to delete...Work with me)
I can restore the masters from Time Machine. (I use referenced images)
How do I recover my adjustments, without overwriting my library? Groveling through the .aplibrary they are stored as xml files, but there is a chane of references and set of encoding that is not transparent.
At this point the ONLY way I can see is to:
* Rename my present library
* Restore the entire library, whcih if I have lots of images can take hours.
* Find the project.
* Export the project.
* Delete extra library.
* Rename my original library.
While this gets my adjustments back, it does NOT get them back in an editable form. they are now locked in.
Is there a way to export versions as version info? E.g. as an xml file that sits in the same directory as the master?
Spin the question differently. How can I send YOU a set of versions of a particular master, WITHOUT copying the data of the master for each version.
Say we have referenced files on a network server. I want to send you a version, but NOT the master.
E.g. I send you ONE master, and 6 versions of it. In YOUR version of aperture how can you load the 6 versions to continue tweeking them.

There is another, huge thread on TM backups on this forum and exactly this issue has come up. Sadly, no one has a perfect answer. I do not have a spare drive available to test this myself, but I would try something along these lines.
-- Ask TM to restore your full Library and the Masters, if Referenced. I believe that TM will give you the option to not overwriting your current Library, but be careful. However you do, stick this "Recovery Library" out somewhere. (Yes, this is gonna take some time, run it overnight.)
-- Open "Recovery" with Aperture and select the Project(s) that contain the images you want. Export these "Projects as New Library." (Don't export as either Versions or Masters.) I would select the box "Consolidate Masters" and I would probably discard the Previews. Stick this somewhere.
-- Now open "Original Library" and import the "Library" that you exported back into your Original Library as something like "Stupid Lost Project."
-- You should now have a Project full of adjusted, and adjustable images. (N.B. this is basically the technique I use with my laptop. I shoot, load into AP3 on the laptop, noodle, and then export/import into AP3 on the MacPro when I get home.)
-- Clean up. (Delete "Recovery", convert the recovered Project back to Referenced Masters, if you wish, etc.)
One good argument for never throwing those old USB drives away.
I have missed some of the details in the process, so be careful, but I believe that this will work until Apple lets us run Aperture inside Time Machine.
Best wishes.

FAQ: How do I restore a previous version of Photoshop Express?

How do I restore a previous version of Photoshop Express?
Case 1: You have updated Photoshop Express on your phone, but iTunes on your computer has the old version
1. First, go to iTunes on your computer. In the "Apps" section, look for the Photoshop Express icon.
2. Right click on the icon and go to "Get Info"
3. Ensure that the version number reflects 2.7.2, if not, then proceed to Case 2.
4. Next, delete Photoshop Express from your phone or tablet.
5. Connect your device, then in iTunes, go to the device>"Apps" page.
6. Scroll to find Photoshop Express and click "Install", then click sync.
7. If you have made previous in-app purchases, open Photoshop Express and go to settings>Restore Purchases and enter your iTunes credentials
Case 2: You have already updated Photoshop Express on your computer
When iTunes updates an app on your computer, it automatically moves the old version to the trash. To retrieve it and install on your device, follow these steps
1. Go to your trash and look for a file named something like "Photoshop Express 2.7.2.ipa" (depending on which version you had previously)
1A. If you have already emptied your trash you may be able to find this in a machine backup.
2. Move this file to your desktop to make it easy to find.
3. Go to iTunes, and in the Library section select "Apps".
4. Look for the Photoshop Express icon, right click and select "Delete".
5. Now, take the version you moved from the trash and drag it into iTunes.
6. Connect your device, then in iTunes, go to the device>"Apps" page.
7. Scroll to find Photoshop Express and click "Install", then click sync.
8. If you have made previous in-app purchases, open Photoshop Express and go to settings>Restore Purchases and enter your iTunes credentials

iTunes only keeps one normal backup per iOS device. As you've found out, its an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up or overwritten. You can view available backups under iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Any backups listed that are time/date stamped are backups from restore points. These backups are not overwritten. Do you maintain a backup of your computer data? If so, you might be able to retrieve a prior iPhone backup from your computer backup.

Can I restore an old version of iTunes?

I'm having trouble getting my MacBook Pro to recognise my iPod Classic - it connects via usb then says 'Ejecting - you may now disconnect'. I've tried the reset/restore approach and connecting in disk mode but the best I get is my iPod appearing as a device on my desktop but not in iTunes.
There are many similar problems that feature in the Support Communities but so far no answers. I wondered if it was a glitch in iTunes (12.1.2.27) and tried to restore an older version of the app, but Time Machine tells me that iTunes cannot be removed or modified as it is needed by the OSX. Is this the case? Can't I restore an old version?
Failing that, does anyone have any ideas how to overcome the problem? Most annoyingly, my wife's iPod Classic functions perfectly well on the same MacBook, even using the same usb lead!

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account and see what happens there. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
