How do you roll back from 10.6.8? Kernel Panic, etc.

Any way to roll back to 10.6.7?
A *LOT* of my files have disappeared!

If files are disappeared, and you don't have a backup, try one of the recovery tools on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html#RECOVER
And in the future never upgrade without a backup. The fact you are losing files suggests there is something else possibly damaged on your system.  What's hard to know is whether it is software or hardware.  One thing that causes files to disappear, is Spotlight's indexing not being complete.    If you are backed up, try rebuilding your Spotlight index and rebooting.  To rebuild the Spotlight index, drag your hard drive into the Privacy section of Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Privacy, and then select the minus sign below the privacy field to remove it.  Watch the Spotlight menu every several minutes to see if the indexing note is gone.  Once gone, reboot. Also if you are backed up, try repairing the directory*: http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
Either method is often faster than recovering your data.

  • How can I roll back from the latest update - hate it!

    I can't get the quick WYSIWYG bar to show up. I want my old version back. How can I roll back?

    I can't get the quick WYSIWYG bar to show up.
    Not sure what that means.   Can't you switch to Live View or Design View ? See screenshot.
    In Creative Cloud desktop app, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.

  • How do you roll BACK to iTunes 11 from 12.

    In a nut shell, version 12 of iTunes is a MESS. My Ipod HATES it as I can NOT delete nor add play lists and I've tried everything. 12 is a bug fest.
    I had no problems what so ever with version 11 and would LOVE TO roll it back. Anyone do it with success?
    If so please help the hundreds of us out in cyber space who would love to roll back too.
    Thank you.

    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

  • OS 4 disaster, how do you roll back to 3.13 (or whichever was the previous

    Hi all, first time poster.
    First of all with previous OS's not a problem, however this one is possibly not even worthy of OS 0.4 never mind 4. I've been following everyones guide on how ot cope with the poor battery life (which likes to drain completely over night, not good when I use it as an alarm. I've tried turning off notifications, push etc, tried and installed from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3398, let the battery charge fully deplete fully then charge fully. And I have restored the system settings twice. As such until Apple properly fix this issue I want/need (so I don't miss an alarm going off) To roll back to the previous OS. Does anyone have any advise or can you tell me how to rollback to the previous OS. Thank you.

    you can change the gestures back in the system prefs if you prefer it the other way as I did.

  • How do you roll back AME to a previous version?

    thanks

    You should talk to each other at Adobe because it's fustrating to loose so much time repeating the same thing over and over. Since 7.2.1, if I create a projet with 7.2.1, the only problem I will have with XMF files is that sometime several differents MXF files will appear as the same clip in Premiere Pro. So for exemple, I will have 1.MXF 2.MXF, 3.MXF, 4.MXF, that are all continious clips of the same video but in Premiere Pro 7.2.1, all those clips will be the same one with 1,2,3 and 4 in it... Hard to explain as English is not my first language.
    But, the real problem starts when I open a projet that has been created with a previous update of PPcc. In that case, half of the edited clips will display parts of the clip that are later or sooner in the full clip. But, if I roll back to 7.0.0 everything is back to normal. But, if I use 7.0.0 to open a 7.2.1 projets, my MFX files are hatched and not playable. But if I return in 7.2.1 to read a 7.2.1 projet, the files are unhatched and back to normal. To had some weirdness, since I'm not able to roll back AME even with costumer support, if I open a projet created with 7.0.0 and opened with 7.0.0, if I use the last version AME, it will export a mess-up video has I could see in my timeline if I was working with 7.2.1. But as 7.0.0 restore my timeline, I can see my perfect timeline in PP but I can only export it using the internal encoder since de last version of AME keeps the bug of 7.2.1.
    Everithing was fine in the last version (except the fact that now PP consider 2 different audio channels from the same camera as a stereo pair)
    So now I have 3 problem:
    I'm late on my schedule because of all this mess and slow costumer support that take control of my computer to try basics stuff and gives my bad advices
    I have to update and roll back Premiere Pro 3 to 4 times a day to work on all my projects
    I'm still not able to roll back AME even if I follow your indications so I have to export my video 1 by 1

  • How do I roll back from Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 to 2014.0.0?

    2014.0.1 destroys my ability to upload large files to YouTube which I need to be able to do. The functionality was fine before the new .01 which went online Thursday 7/25.
    Tech Support advised me to uninstall then stop the re-install at 90%. All that did was cancel my re-install.
    I can't believe they broke the YouTube upload as regards large files (greater than 1 hour, it seems). Someone PLEASE try to get back and answer this. I'm dead in the water on an important project. Thanks...
    Jay

    No, YouTube doesn't reject it BUT it complains bitterly that the file is not a streaming file and then it won't process it properly. An example is here: Ridgewood, NJ GONDOLIERS Act 1, Connelly Theater May 18, 2014 - YouTube
    The video was uploaded using essentially the protocol but with the bit rate reduced to 8Mbps. 16 makes files of RIDICULOUS size (exactly DOUBLE) and contrary to the claims on the page describing the 2014.0.1 upgrade 8 Mbps is recommended unless you have an "enterprise-quality" connection.
    I used the word "protocol" to identify the preset where PPro/AME purports to export, say, "YouTube 1080p". My assumption out of the box was that the engineers knew what they were doing. I now believe they didn't test thoroughly before foisting this off on an unsuspecting public.
    Here's how I reached my conclusions. That GONDOLIERS (both acts) is a 2 hour 15 minute show. On July 4 I uploaded the full show to YouTube and one of the performers complained about the use of his name. We immediately pulled the video "private" and I agreed to wait a week or so and then re-upload. Note that the original uploaded fine and displays fine. The link I offered you goes to a video that I predict will never display at full resolution; at current time it is displaying at 360p although uploaded in a beautiful 1080p. I had originally uploaded the larger file at 16GB. YouTube complained that the format wasn't streaming, so I ran it through "MP4 FastStart" which usually cures that, but in this case it didn't. Further testing reveals that the MOOV Atom is going in the right place but I suspect it's not being written correctly on larger files, and that YouTube is having considerable trouble as a result. I then re-uploaded it to YouTube which complained, again, but ingested it...but it didn't create thumbnails (the black&white out-of-focus icon they display until processing is completed, was what came). After several hours (like Act 1 above) it hadn't gone above 360p. The original 8GB file created with 2014.0 I had to reset the MOOV Atom using MP4 FastStart but once I did that it worked perfectly.
    An early troubleshooting test when I realized there was a problem was to take a 1 1/2 minute excerpt which processed perfectly. No demand to use a streaming format; no problem processing or displaying. The problem comes with files of significant size; 2 hours 15, 1 hour 15. 52 minutes worked okay.
    This has NOT been a good weekend. As you read above I had managed to get the older versions of PPro and AME back on my machine. This causes other craziness (the YT full upload is going to take more than 15 hours; due to ANOTHER bug - I think squashed in the newer version - if the CC 2014 file has TITLES from the older CC version, it somehow interferes with processing. My fancy i7-4770K isn't breaking a sweat while this is happening. Usually I'm running at 99% CPU capacity and right now its about 18%. Normally if I see such a throttle-back I assume perhaps a cooling problem but I have none. It's just running beastly slow. I HATE having to work this way...and it doesn't help that it's on a weekend so I can't even get tech involved until Monday.

  • How can I roll back from 3.0 to 2.21 ???

    Since the update to 3.0, the app NetInfo doesn't work on my Iphone (company mobile) any more. I cannot sync with the Exchange server of my company any more. I wasn't allowed to do any changes or updates. So if I tell the IT-Service I will get into serious trouble.
    So please tell me how I can restore to the old firmware version (I trusted apple when I did the update, so please help me).
    Thank you.
    Eugenius

    I get disappointed when I see problems like this. I have updated two iPhone 3G and two iPod Touch without the slightest hint of a problem and I know many more who have had no issues too.
    What disappoints me is the immediate desire to return to a lesser past than to solve the problem and share the learning, nothing to do with whether X or Y was somehow falling-short.
    Perhaps the NetInfo app wasn't quite so 3.0 compatible as its developers thought? I've found about 15% of the ones that I've bought fall into THAT category! I've also found that there are developers with apps that will be ONLY 3.0+ compatible, so staying at 2.2.1 (or lower) would not be an option.
    Most problems CAN be solved - not least of all with Exchange by deleting the account on the iPhone and creating a new one (ideally AFTER a reset!).
    If you're encountering problems with your IT then you're probably not alone, so why not have a go at finding out?
    Whatever your final approach and outcome, Good Luck!

  • How to get my camera roll back from iCloud?

    I restored my iPhone and now I need to get my camera roll back from iCloud..please tell me how to do that..Thank you

    That's true. You can only restore complete backups.
    I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
    - made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
    - restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
    - My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
    - Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
    The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
    I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

  • How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

    how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
