How do I revert OS X back to a time before the last update on 28th June?
Hi.
Last Tuesday, 28th June, I authorised Mac Update to update two things. One was something to do with my Epson printer, and the other was some sort of security update for Mac OS X itself. The update, presumably the latter part, invoked a requirement to restart my Mac.
Since then things have not been good.
I have noticed that the fans in my MacBook Pro are on more or less continuously, even when it is asleep. Prior to last Tuesday they hardly ever ran, even when I was using it. (According to iStat my CPU is currently 76 degrees C, and both fans are running at about 6000 rpm.)
When I try to quit Safari it doesn't quit straight away as it used to. Instead I get the spinning ball for a while and then, after it quits I get a 'Safari quit unexpectedly' report, even though it was I who initiated the quitting...
Several apps have been acting oddly too, such as MS Word taking ages to launch.
So I want to revert my MacBook Pro to how it was prior to this last update. I have Time Machine enabled, but I can't work out how to get the actual OS back to a state it was on a date prior to 28th June. The OS isn't in the Apps folder, and I can't work out where it might be.
Can someone please point me in the right direction, or is this something that Time Machine cannot do?
Your slow down issues sound like it's internet related.

How do I go back to the version before the last update?
Having issues with Chrome, and I work from my computer, how do I go back to before this update?????
Restore from the backup you made prior to the last update. Or, stop using Chrome.

Before the latest update to iTunes, everything was listed by artist. All albums by the same artist were listed together. Now they are all separated by the name of the album instead of the artist. How do I return to the other format?
Are you viewing it in Artist view or Album view? In Album view, it should still list albums by artist name, then album name. If you're in Album view, you might be looking for Artist view.

How do I unmerge my husband's phone from mine since the last update?
My husband and I use my iCloud account on our iPhones, but since the last update the messages are merged. How do I unmerge them? I am now getting copied on the texts getting sent to his phone and if I text him it shows up on my phone.
To fix this go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on all of your devices (the easiest solution); or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your phones, on the other one tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so both phones are using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services. -
When I was browsing on Safari on my iPhone, I accidentally got an advertisement where you could not close it out unless you clicked on its pop-up screen. So I clicked yes (Looking back, I should've turned off my iPhone then immediately closed out the ad before it could load), then I closed out immediately. But then things went haywire as the Siri automatically went off without me pressing for it, then the music on the iPod part of my iPhone played randomly and got crazy. So I tried resetting the entire settings and restored at a previous point, but I want to be 100% sure the virus is completely gone. I fear it may have infected the iCloud storage and if I cannot completely wipe out the virus without removing any data that was stored prior to the incident, I want to be able to know how to restore from an older session before the incident happened.
Can you please help me?If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps. -
How do I get my apps back on my iphone after the new update.
I can't get my apps from Itunes back on my phone. How do I get them back?
No I do not have multiple pages. There are only two pages, and the second one only has two icons on it. My apps are only in the store, and I want them on the home screen.

How can I get data that was on my phone before the last sync?
I backed up my iPhone in September. I stupidly restored it last week without first backing up everything I had up to this point, and lost all the data in between that was on it. Is there any way to get that data back?
The first thing that happens when you sync, is an automatic backup. This backup overwrote the one you intended to restore from.

Sorry, but the new interface sucks and very uncomfortable to work with.
+100500
Please Please Please STOP THIS MADNESS!!!
I'm sick of this fuss with new versions that totally break all my interface!
I realize that you guys want to play and be creative, but STOP DOING THAT AT MY EXPENSE!!!
Let users use their old interface, instead of WITHOUT ANY PERMISSION BREAK IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
You are totally wrong if you think that a pile of large shit is better than well-structured hierarchical interface. It's better in some respect, may be, but mostly for disorganized people.
What organized people should do? Jump on the trees like you guys?
First - Windows, with that dumb Vista for dumb blondes, now you.
Stop. Before it's too late...
OPERA DIDN'T LISTEN TO MY WORDS. WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
I don't want to live in the world where only stupid spying Chrome exists.
(BTW, it's very bad for you that you without warning send information of user browsing by default, but that's another question. I understand that we love money from Google, FBI, CIA, NSA or whatever from. But, because you spy on me at MY expense, why don't you send me my share?)
Until you stop making FF dumber, I'm going to boycotte new versions. -
Plugin Container causes lag, how do I shut it off? It worked before the last update.
Games worked fine, as did anything else I did. Then the new update came, and the game goes at 1/3 speed, + the rest of firefox is slower, even when the game isn't running and hasn't been opened since the last restart.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Firefox last updatedI can't believe i am doing this, but i am UNINSTALLING FIREFOX. sorry, but i care more about my movies than my browser.
firefox, you can fix your issues or you can GIT OUT. -
imessage only displays the phone number instead of the name after the last update. any idea how to fix it? All messages had the names displaying correctly before the last update.
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Language & Region
From the Region menu in the window, select one of the preset regions. If one is already selected, choose a different one, then change it back. Close the preference pane and test. -

Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?
That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
or <br />
right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />
