How do I revert to OS 10.6.8 from OS 10.8.3

I thought that upgrading to the latest version of OS would be an advantage.  I did it for no other reason than to be up to date, and besides, I liked the Launchpad feature. 
DON"T DO IT!
I found that instead of giving me more features, the upgrade was like going from Classic OS9 to OS10.X.  All my favorite programmes either will not run or they have lost important features that I was using every day! Problems like:
1. Luxor will not run at all. This is the only game I've ever played on the Mac.
2. Password (A program containing all my passwords) will not run.  (I'm hooped without it!)
3. Preview has lost the Linking feature from the Annotate toolbar. 
4. What else is Apple NOT telling us about?
If I had thought that any of these programs would not work, I would have left well enough alone at system 10.6.8!  Thanks for shafting me, Apple, with a bunch of bugs in the software.  If these aren't bugs, then I definitly want back to 10.6.8.  HOW DO I DO THAT from time machine?

It's been widely known for several years now that OS versions above 10.6 do not support PPC apps.
This will depend of course on having a TM backup from before you did the upgrade. If you've been using the computer for a while since the upgrade, it may have been deleted.

  • How can I revert back to version 5.1 from 6.1. Bluetooth support told me that version 6.1 is not supported. I highly doubt it. My voice recognition reconizes " Call my wife command".

    I just bought a new car. Hyundia Hybrid. My bluetooth is not Reconizing my command to call a contact. I've been back to the dealer and no luck. When speaking to Bluetooth support directly he doesn't see Version 6.1. and suggested going back to Version 5.1 which is documented to be compatable with my Iphone 4s.

  • HT5278 how can i revert to IOS 5.1.1 from IOS 6

    Hi
    I have been sort of an apple product faithful since the introduction of iPhone 2.
    Every gadget I had is mostly apple, I always have faith in Apple in delivering the best user experience (though not the best hardware most of the time), was even waiting to buy iPhone 5 (black and white) and the iPad mini (if its launching)
    Since the introduction of IOS 6, i am very disappointed and my faith in them took a nose-dive:(
    I can understand maps will take time to improve, but removing a feature like YouTube which has part of IOS since its introduction is another. If Apple wants to remove such a core feature, they can at least inform customers before they update or offer a solution to revert back within a reasonable time frame.
    Regards

  • How to Uninstall(Revert) SAPGUI 7.10 patches alone from a PC

    Hello All,
    I am having SAPGUI 7.10 client and now I have installed the GUI patch level 11 in my PC. Since I am facing some issues, I would like to revert this patch alone to GUI 10 instead of completely reinstalling the SAPGUI application.
    Kindly let me know the steps to remove a SAP GUI patch alone from the PC.
    Thanks
    Sarin.

    Hello Sarin,
    it's not possible to remove just the patch, as patching the SAPGUI brings newer versions of existing files and older version are not stored somewhere.
    So if you really want to go back to Patch 10 from 11 you have to uninstall SAPGUI and make a new installation of Patch 10.
    But: What issues do you face with patch 11? Maybe they are fixed in Patch 12?
    Kind regards,
    Martin

  • How can I revert Firefox back to previous settings from 10 days ago?

    The page is no longer showing some boxes on a webpage, like login boxes on some sites, drop down menus on others, nor the bar at the bottom that used to show weather, NoScripts status, etc. I do not know what I changed (or IF I changed anything) to get this result, but I have to use IE now to view many sites because I don't have complete functionality now. I just want to know if I can go back to a point, say 10 days ago, when it was working correctly.

    You seem to have hidden the Add-ons toolbar: View > Toolbars > [X] Add-on Bar
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

  • How do I revert back to OS Mountain Lion from Yosemite

    My MAC Runs like a Dog and takes ages to boot up after upgrading to Yosemite. Is there a procedure to follow that allows me to go back to an earlier operating system ?

    Hey Gary!
    Officially, downgrading your system to any previous version isn't supported by Apple.
    There are other third party sites that offer suggestions to downgrade, which some for example are:
    - http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/22/downgrade-os-x-yosemite-to-mavericks/
    - http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/10/20/ipad-air-2-release-date-info/
    - https://bgr.com/2014/10/23/yosemite-to-mavericks-downgrade/
    With downgrading, make sure to backup all of your information! If you do not like those options, you can always Google search "Downgrading from Yosemite to Mavericks" or something along those lines for more options.

  • Firefox 31.6.0ESR updated to Firefox 37.0.1 -- How do I Revert?

    My hard drive crashed and was replaced by a repairman who moved all the files but somehow 'updated' my Firefox 31.6.0esr to Firefox 37.0.1 (the About Firefox window shows 37 but the Update History shows last update as ESR ?!?).
    This PC needs to be on the ESR channel.
    How do I revert/convert/whatever back to ESR without losing the settings/add-ons/etc. for all the users?
    FYI: This 'update' has broken a bunch of stuff:
    * The Search Bar is now invisible. Already tried removing, re-adding, setting size, etc.
    * Loading each page initiates an error message about a 'getter' and spawns new windows.
    ALSO: I tried to attach an image of the issues and it kept hanging, even after creating a smaller version.
    Since I can't attach the screenshots, please view them from my website:

    First, use the refresh Firefox feature to create a backup of your user profile.
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Next, [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ download Firefox ESR]. Then uninstall Firefox and install Firefox ESR.
    Last, follow the instructions in this article to restore your backed up profile: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles|Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

  • 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

    click the blue download button...

  • How do I revert to iTunes 11.0 or earlier?

    iTunes used to work well with my iPad1, iPhone5, and two iPod5's.  I would periodically synch them in order to create a backup, or transfer any new apps.  Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.4.62, iTunes will no longer recognize any Apple device.  Windows 8.1 recognizes them just fine, I can easily transfer pictures and videos as I always have just by right-clicking on the device in Explorer, and choosing Import Pictures and Videos.  When I run iTunes diagnostics, it fails the Device Connectivity tests, and comes up with a red dot telling me I have nothing connected.  This happens with all devices.  I have tried different cords (I have 3 lightning, and 2 30-pin), but all are the same.  Windows no problem, iTunes no dice.
    I found an Apple technote (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US), however I have followed the suggestions and thus far it remains the same.  My local security software has not changed recently, nor do I have any other phones.  After playing around with this for a number of days, I am convinced that the latest version of iTunes is at fault.  I don't remember this happening with iTunes 11.0, so how do I revert to that version?  Or barring that, how do I go back to a version 10.x?
    Thanks.

    I have tried to restore the individual files of iTunes 11.4 from time machine with no success. On an apple support call they mentioned to do a full system restore from the time machine backup thru the OS X Utilities. Unfortunately for me I hadn't done a recent backup before accidentally updating to iTunes 12.0.1.
    If I restore all the individual locations of the iTunes files I either get the spinning pinwheel of death or an error that a required component is not installed.
    The answer from apple support was learn to like iTunes 12 otherwise we can't help you.
    There are several ways to remove iTunes 12 through certain software or by stoping the background process related to iTunes..
    Here is a link to another discussion related to the topic.

  • 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)
