How do i revert back to a OS X 10.5 without losing third party applications

Hi,
i have recently installed my HP printer CD software, after i did this it started to cause problems with some programmes, so i uninstalled it.
However since doing this i have lost the relevant printer driver (however have now managed to print but do not have most of the functions e.g. print quality levels etc) and now want to revert my system back to a state when it was working fine. i have time machine and leopard cd and go through the process as described on the apple website however i have not done the restore from time machine back ups as i'm not sure if i will lose my third party applications (some of which i dont have the cd's for as they came pre-installed). can anyone help, will i lose my third party applications?

Have you been using Spotlight to backup?
Your system installation disks let you restore the system from the Spotlight backup, if you backed up your entire system with Spotlight.

How do I revert back to Snow Leopard from OS Lion without losing files etc

I need to revert back as my work VPN cannot operate with the java cocoa version that is part of safari due to the OS Lion upgrade I performed. I have done a ton of work on my system in the last week and don't want to lose any of it - and no I didn't use time machine. HOw much am I going to lose when I uninstall Lion and then reinstall Leopard?
Thank so much for your help,
cmw

First, do a full backup of your current system.
Reformat your hard drive's main partition that you want to revert to Snow Leopard from Lion. This will delete EVERYTHING on the partition, which is why you need to do the backup first.
Reinstall Snow Leopard from the installer media you own.
Download then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Updater.
Run Software Update repeatedly until there are no updates left to install.
Reinstall all your third-party applications.
Connect the backup you made of the Lion system and copy over your data. You should only have to copy over the files you know about within your own user account folder.
If you do this right, you'll have everything back in Snow Leopard with no loss. If you do it wrong, well, that's another reason we made a backup all the way back in the beginning of this process - you can always start over.

How to customise the URL on endsession button and point it to a third-party Application?

Hello ,
I have a scenario where i want to redirect to a third-party application instead of OPA summary screen on hitting the close-->end session button.
How to customize the URL behind the end session button to point to the third-party URL?
Thanks,
Charu

You can use velocity templates and javascript to achieve what you need.
Update confirm_end_session_screen.vm to
1. dynamically call the end session URL using ajax(?) to actually close the active OPA session
2. redirect user to the third-party application when the OPA session is closed

How can I revert back to my old version of itunes without deleting my data?

Ever sence I upgrated to the 10.6.7.1, I can't go into the store! I literally tried everything. So only choice is to delete the new itunes and revert back to the 10.4 version. But I don't want to risk getting all my music,movies,pictures,tv shows, pretty much everything get deleted off my ipod. I heard about backing up my files. Someone, anybody, PLEASE help, I'm this close to smashing my computer to pieces if I don't get an answer or a solution.

To clarify things, if you have LifeCycleManager also called LCM and use versioning, you can revert changes.
Howver, if you edit a report in a higher patch level then go back to a previous patch level you may face unexpected behavior like sudden crash, document corruption that in the worst cases manifests after a long time.
Therefore the best practices are to use LCM and/or perform systematic backups plus exceptional backups when major changes occur.

Revert from Mountain Lion to 10.6.2 without losing files and applications?

I upgraded from 10.6.2 to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) on my iMac, but now I cannot use most of my software, nor my scanner (even with Image Capture) because they're mostly PowerPC based. I cannot afford to replace everything at this point. Can I revert to 10.6.2 without losing files and apps? How can I do it easily? And how can I save the Mountain Lion OS I downloaded so I can load it in the future without paying again?

If you have a backup, either via Time Machine or a cloning program, you can keep everything including the Mountain Lion installer. You shouldn't have to pay for the installer again because it is tied to the Apple ID you used to purchase it. Cloning programs and two backups are better and safer than one.
Clone - Carbon Copy Cloner
Clone – Data Backup
Clone – Deja Vu
Clone - SuperDuper
Clone Software – 6 Applications Tested

How do I revert back to the old operating system? The new upgrade that came out totally disabled my WiFi and the default backgrounds changed to white instead of bla k.

An upgrade was sent to my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone on 3/27/15 and it ruined my phone. I no longer have the ability to Wi-Fi. When I swipe the phone on there is a clicking sound and the scree goes directly to my keypad. I want the phone to go to my home screen like it did before. My apps that had a black background now have a white background which is impossible to see outdoors. I want the black background back for settings, clock, and calculator. Samsung tech support says this stuff is default with the new upgrade. How do I revert back to the version I had before without having to put the phone back to factory settings and lose all my pictures, memos and other files I have accumulated over the last year that I have had the phone. I am desparate. Please help me. Send an e-mail to (removed)

You cannot revert back without voiding warranty and we cannot discuss the methods to do so.

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:

How do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.
I want to get rid of itunes 11, anyhelp out there

I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking. How do I revert back to an older version?

I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking. Another reason I loved using this computer was autofill, now that does not work the same either, I have to respond twice to get my info to fill in. I fill out many forms in a day and this change has been so bad that I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to use instead. I hope apple fixes these issues but until then how do I revert back to an older version of Safari?

Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure all three boxes are selected.
Now navigate to a site, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
Try logging into a site again.

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download). To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu. Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

I was able to switch out my HD to a previous drive with Snow Leopoard and FCPX 10.0.2. Final Cut Pro is working again like magic! I don't think it has anything to do with Lion. I already miss some of it's features. I am once again scrolling backwards. Within 5 minutes of using FCP 10.0.2 I already notice huge improvements of speed and lack of beach ball. I can honestly say that 10.0.3 is a completely unsuable application unless you have the patience to wait 15-30 seconds between the pushing of any button on the keyboard or the slightest movement of the mouse, well trackpad. Either way FCPX 10.0.3 is a dissappointment on so many levels. I am even giving up my solid state drive to revert back to the awesomeness of FCP 10.0.2.
Really looking forward to the improvements on FCPX but feel that Apple should be releasing the software as Beta and offering it free for those who want to help develop and make it better.

I've upgraded to the most recent version of FF. Streaming/page loading is worse than ever. I have done all that's recommended to fix it. When will FF come up with a fix? And how do I revert back to a version that actually works? Please help. Thanks

How do I revert back to a version that works?

Hi,
your aspx menus are probably using document cookies to store static information. (f12>Console tab, document.cookie )
ensure that client machines are accepting your company's default GPO settings.
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab,
click "Reset all zones to default"
Content tab, click the "Default" button.
Open a change request with your site developers to feature test for noscript and cookie support in their client side code.
File>Properties to determine which IE Security zone a site is opening in.
Regards.
