How do I Uninstall 10.9.2 and get back 10.8.6 ?

I recently downloaded Maverick 10.9.2 I am having lots of problems. I tried to open a Numbers file ("Recipes Numerically") stored in my Desktop Documents folder.
Instead of the Numbers Icon near the top of the dock bouncing back and forth, a new Numbers Icon appears at the bottom of the dock and does the bouncey thing. It opens a page saying "Welcome to Numbers" and wants me to click "Continue" When I do it brings up another page. Then opens a blank numbers page titled "Recipes Numerically" with only one column. I now have lost that copious file that I've been updating for years.
PLEASE, can I get back to my old, familiar, friendly 10.8.6?

Thanks Tony & Peter,
Unfortunately, I do not have Wi-Fi, hence no Time Machine. I'm hooked to a DSL cable. Can I redo my operating system by restarting my
computer using the original Snow Leopard 10.6 Install DVD ? I do have Carbonite
and have many things backed up on that. I also have files backed up on SunDisk external memory cards.
Also I have a LOT of files generated by ClarisWorks 4.0 for Teachers that are residing on my old MAC Tower. I understand that ClarisWorks will only run on OS 9 Classic. Would I be able to use my OS 9
DVD to load it onto my present iMAC 20"/2.66/2GB/320/SD/MSE/KB that I purchased
on 05/09 ? If not, is there a program that will convert the ClarisWorks files
into Pages/Numbers Documents that will run on Snow Leopard ? I would like to
get rid of my old computer, but it's the only one that'll run OS 9 and open those
files.
Thanks again for all your help.

How do I uninstall 10.5.2 and get back to 10.5.1

the new update has destroyed my printing. Until Apple fixes the problem, I NEED my printer, so I'd like to delete the update. Of course I have the original disk... so how do a take out the new and return to the original Leopard.

Adding my experiences to the discussion... My sisters 1.83 iMac (Early 2006) had some crazy stuff going on after the update. I ran Disk Warrior from my MacBook Pro with the iMac as a target disk and DW told me that it could not rebuild the directory, mentioning media errors among the problems. I started to think that the HDD was the problem after Disk Utility failed to repair the disk until I booted from the Leopard DVD, and found that her 10.5.2 update coincidence with all of her problems (all Mail lost, black menu bars, a whole host of new apps in the Dock that weren't there before, and other unknown problems). However, I was unable to restore from the earlier TM backup (thankfully they bought an external at Xmas), because the HD couldn't be found, so I erased the HD and now I am reinstalling Leopard from the DVD and will restore the system from the last 10.5.1 TM backup. If there is anything that I could have done differently, let me know. I'll post an update once I get it all back up and running.

How do i uninstall lightroom 4.4 and get back to 4.3?

I certainly made a mistake trying 4.4. I did a few things in 4.4 am not sure where the problem started, but i made numerous changes in photoshop (always updating the metadata) and things seemed fine. Then i created a new file in photoshop and did an import, but since i had a flash drive plugged in, LR imported from that. Where those photos went in LR, I don't know. Was the catalog actually updated, I don't know. I removed the flash drive and synchronized folders. From that point on, i had problems with metadata. I have been very careful uploading and downloading the metadata properly when linking to photoshop and creating new files from an original opened from lightroom. However, now in LR, metadata seems to be a problem. My filter 'unsaved metadata' had 20-30 files, and i know they were ok. I saved them anyway (maybe not a good idea). Interesting thing, LR keeps showing those files with unsaved metadata, even after I save them. It's like LR 4.4 isn't saving metadata. I absolutely know there is a problem because of an original dng file that i didn't touch showed as unsaved metadata.
At this point, I'm going to have to revert to my last catalog backup prior to installing 4.4. Then i want to deinstall 4.4 and reinstall 4.3. I'm a bit unclear how to do this. I'll save my settings and previews and backup catalogs, but with all the downloading these days, I'm not sure I have LR dvds.

Findings to date: first, thanks to everyone for suggestions. I chose a less drastic approach than deinstall, and still have 4.4. Reviewing the responses, I suddenly remembered that I had a similar problem in 4.3, but only one time. And I confirmed this problem in 4.4. I can't give you a scenario for how it happened, or why it happens to some images and not others. It's not a security problem, though that was a good idea to check out. My solution in 4.3 was simply to delete the photos (didn't really need them)! What happens is that when I click on the down arrow on an image to write metadata to file, the down arrow does not go away, so it seems that the metadata is not updated. However, when I look at the properties in Windows Explore for that image, it shows the date updated as the date that I hit the arrow, so the metadata, I believe, IS being updated. If this is true, then it is simply some error in 4.4 (and existed in 4.3) as to how LR updates its own arrow. Here's another interesting thing. I tried 'edit in photoshop' and making a change, just to see what happens. Well, that REALLY resulting in some strange behavior SOME TIMES, but not all times. Some times, when i made a slight change in PS, saved, and returned to LR, the active link between LR and PS served to update the metadata flag. However on some occasions a new image was created, and I did this a number of times. It would have a name something like the original image name with "_edit-1", _"edit-2", etc. Before I noticed what was going on, I just saw the unsaved metadata flag, and edited one of those copies in PS, and would come back to LR with another new image and an increased name, such as "_edit-4", etc.
So, rather than uninstalling, I carefully reviewed most of my images in the catalog to determine the extent of the damage, and these peculiarities affected far fewer images than I had thought. I updated the metadata when notified, and most of them worked.
However, I will say that I am quite certain that I had not changed some of these images in order to get that metadata out of sync indicator. A few of the images that showed the metadata out of sync were complete original dng images that I KNOW I did nothing to so I'm quite sure this was a mistake on LR's part, but I can't prove it because I know that other software affects metadata, including Bridge which I try to stay out of. These particular images, and they were few in number, simply would not update the tag when i clicked the indicator. Anyway, I suggest folks really check out the metadata functions, but like I said, I believe this problem exists in 4.3, also, but why only a small subset of images, I don't know.

How can I uninstall Pages 5.2 and go back to Pages 4.3?

I am very frustrated using Pages 5.2. It is not as easy to use as 5.2 and causes me all sorts of problems - especially when highlighting text. How can I uninstall Pages 5.2 and go back to Pages 4.3 which was much easier to use?

Thanks. The new version of Pages and iMovie are useless to me. I need to delete the new version of Pages so my functional documents won't keep trying to "upgrade" to pages 5.2. It annoys me to no end. I hope they smarten up soon.
It seems that Apple is trying to turn its computer applications into iphone apps. They are eliminating essential features and functions that don't work on a 600 dollar pocket watch. It appears to be part of a misguided attempt to have universal cross-platform compatibility. Or they just want to get out of the computer business. I suspect that accountants are having too much influence on business models. There is a place for accountants. But giving too much control to bean counters can eliminate quality and cripple innovation, leading to the ultimate downfall of the corporation.

Hi,
Can you please expand on your issue? As far as I can see all the previous functions of 11 are in 12 albeit shown differently. Using get info to edit date is still possible, again it looks and feels different.

HT201364 how do I uninstall OS X Mavericks and revert back to OS mountain lion?

how do I uninstall OS X Mavericks and revert back to OS mountain lion?

You can't uninstall an OS X version. You would have to erase the drive and reinstall a prior OS version. That's why you should never upgrade without having a backup.
However, just about any router in the world should work with Mavericks, without the need of any DVD supplied software.

How to call plsql procedure or function and getting back the string?

Hi Everyone,
i am using Jdev 11.1.1.5.0.
i have a requirement to call plsql procedure or function from my backing bean java file and get back the returned value from the procedure or function.
what piece of simple code i need to write in my backing bean?
please suggest.
Thanks.

As always you write the method to call he pl/sql in the application module, expose this method to the client (so you see it in the datacontroll) then create a operation binding to the method and call this operation from the bean. The result you get by operation.getResult();
You should never call pl/sql from the bean directly!
The doc shows how to call the procedure from an application module: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/b31974/bcadvgen.htm#sm0297

How do I uninstall Firefox 6.0 and go back to Firefox 5.x. I am a teacher and several secondary programs won't run with 6.0 and I do not want to upgrade them-too many downstream problems.

The most recent update was apparently on 8/18/11 and 8/20. Message comes up to upgrade Java, Real Time Player, and two other programs. I have not been able to use Real Time Player for about a month and it used to work well in the old version of Firefox. By the way, everything works fine in Internet Explorer (which I really don't want to use).

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

When I installed Firefox 4, I somehow also received the Yahoo toolbar. How do I uninstall the Yahoo toolbar and get the Firefox toolbar instead?

I installed Firefox 4 approximately 2-3 weeks ago.

Additional information:
I ran across this same problem once before when I upgrade to Firefox 3.x with one of the add-ons, but I can't remember how I was able to resolve it, if I ever did. The Firefox programmers should put in the option that when an upgrade to Firefox fines an incompatible add-on that it can be either updated to one that is compatible or it can be removed before the Firefox upgrade proceeds. I consider this to be a serious bug in Firefox.

I installed the 5.0 update and now I can't reinstall my SEOBook toolbar that I depend on for work! How do I uninstall Firefox 5.0 and go back to an earlier version of Firefox so I can reinstall the SEOBook toolbar? Thank you!

thank you!

'''If you are having a specific issue with Firefox 5, please post the details, and someone on this support forum will try to help you.'''
With Mozilla's accelerated release plan, the "plan" is for 5.0 to replace 4.0.1, with no further support for 4.0.* versions.
*This will also be the case with versions 6 and 7, currently scheduled for release later this year.
*As new versions are released, support for the prior version will be dropped.
*The only exception, as of right now, is that version 3.6.x will continue to be supported for 3-4 months, as of this posting.
No significant user-interface changes occurred between Firefox 4 and Firefox 5.
95% of the Add-ons hosted at the official Add-ons website are compatible with Firefox 5.0 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/compatibility/report.
For extensions that are hosted elsewhere, you can try using this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ - to force "incompatible" extensions to be enabled in 5.0 and see for yourself if they work. Then there's a "compatibility" button in the Add-ons Manager tab to report if each extension is working properly or to tell the developer of each extension what problems you're having.

How do I uninstall Firefox 3.6 and get Firefox 1.0?

I have a program that I use for my Hospice Reports that will not work with Firefox 3.6. In the instructions for the mumms software, it says to install firefox 1.0.

Are you talking about the google start page that is the default home page for FireFox? See attached. Its not ''interfering'' with google...if you want to, make google.com your home page.

How do I close a web site and get back to the home page?

When I click the close button on a web page I end up at the desktop with no visible means of using other sites. When I click on the fire fox logo again I am told that I am already connected. When I use the back button instead of the close button to get to the home page and then shutdown my computer to start over I get the oops page asking if I want to restore web pages that I thought were closed.

Make sure that you type in the location bar and not in the Google search bar.
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button
