How do you uninstall a software update?

Recently installed the new Xerox software update that was released on May 2, 2013. Apparently this update does not work for some Xerox models and causes the user to no longer be able to print to Xerox. Is there anyway to UNinstall a software update?

No. The only way to remove a software update is to restore the backup taken prior to the update.

Can you uninstall a software update?

Hi,
Is it possible to "uninstall" a software update from Apple? I am trying to test an idea that my wireless connection was stronger before I downloaded and installed the most reason Airport update. I am using one of the new iMacs. If need be, would erasing the hard drive work?

Downgrading can be done using Archive and Install:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

How do you delete a software update?

After you download a software update, how do you delete it?

I don't believe you need more than 500Mb of free space if you perform the update through itunes. As all operations are done on the computer, and then the files are simply replaced with the newer versions.
As to your other questions:

You don't. As long as you don't install it it will be there. Once installation is complete, the system will delete it from the device.
Tormund0123 wrote:
Once you press the "Download and Install" button, what happens next? Does it do the former first, the latter first, or both?
Obviously it can't install if it hasn't Downloaded first. So if you still have the "Download and Install" option as opposed to the "Install Now" option it will first download and then install.
Tormund0123 wrote:
If you try to download iOS 7 by syncing tyour device to iTunes, what happens if you press "Download only?" Will the software download AND install, or just download only?
If you are using Itunes and choose to only Download, then it will simply download the update package and store it on your computer. When you are ready to install it you can then press the install button.

I recently updated MS Office 2011 on the iMac at church and now PowerPoint stops paging forward after about 10 minutes in a slideshow. Any suggestions? How do I uninstall the update?

This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office in any way. I suggest you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

How do I uninstall a software update of iPhoto 9.3.1 on OS 10.6.8?

I had a internal HD crash, so Apple replaced with a new one. I installed OS 10.6 from my install disks.
I installed the Applications from my original disks and did the Software Updates.
I went to Apple site to find out more about what iPhoto version to use, and i downloaded what I thought was
correct Update. By mistake I started downloading the iPhoto 9.3.1 pkg. file which is still in my downloads folder.
Now my iPhoto Library Manager shows one of my iPhoto Library's is version 9.3.2. This consequently gives an error message when I try to Launch iPhoto v.9.2.3 from there in which to open this Library.
I am using iPhoto Library Manager and Iphoto 9.2.3 to fix two huge libraries that were conceived before the HD crash and from an older mac mini G4 using Leopard 10.5.8. I have them on external HDs.
Thank you in advance.
I am happy to answer more in depth questions if I have not been clear.

Thank you! I have contacted the Mac App staff and I am hoping to hear back from them soon.

How do you automatically run software update using ARD?

Is there a way to automate running software update and downloading all updates using ARD? My current option is to log into each machine and do it manually. (I am also using a OSX server 10.6 if that helps.)
Thanks

Use the the Send UNIX Command option. There's a template in the Miscellaneous section to have the workstations download and install updates; run it as the root user in the Send Command as field so you don't have to worry about a user being logged into each workstation. You can set the command as a task to run on a schedule if you wish.
Since each workstation will download each update, it's most efficient if you can run a Software Update Server and point your workstations to that instead of directly to Apple. Then you don't have multiple downloads taking up your Internet bandwidth. If you have on a few workstations and/or a really big pipe to the Internet, that may not be a concern for you.
Regards.

TA24326 How do you repair Apple Software Update in Windows 7?

When I open iTunes it says a new version (10.6.3) is available, and I click on "download" but nothing happens. I then go to Apple Software Update and no updates are found.

After a month of waiting & having same problem as you, today when I turned on my computer an Apple Software Update appeared right on my desktop telling me to download the new update. I did & it downloaded just fine. I assume it should be coming to your computer soon also.
Yeah ... it's a bit "patchy" though, Sassy. It can come right for some people and yet not for others ... and there's been a few reports in some of the bigger threads of it coming right for some folks and then going silly again (for the same folks).
A good rule of thumb with this one is that if you do get a "window" where ASU seems to work fine, get as many updates done as you can (just in case the window closes again).

HT4623 how do you do a software update for iphone 4s when it says the update requires 2.5 gb of available storage?

how to update iphone 4s when it says needs 2.5 gb of available storage?

Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much space is available on your phone (listed at the very top). The pop-up might be telling you that you don't have enough space on your phone to perform the backup, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud acount to store the backup.

How do you download ios software update without itunes?

The iTunes I use to update my iPod Touch is on a Windows 7 desktop computer. I tried to download the latest update but the internet is to slow to complete it. I was wondering if I could take my notebook and download the update on it while connected to a faster internet connection and transfer it to the iTunes on my Windows 7. Where can I download it and how can I put it on my other computer?

You can download music on the iphone ONLY from the itunes store.

How can I uninstall a software update?

I recently installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 12". There was something in the description of the update about security and having to approve each use of Java apps.
Now I have a problem with printing pdfs I get in emails. Nothing comes up to show a way to enable the piece that this update has diabled.
I want to go back to where I was 3 days ago.

If you have configured Time Machine to backup your your drive, you are going to have to do a restore to a time prior to the update.
If you didn't configure Time Machine, you are out of luck.

How do you UNinstall system software?

Am new to MacOsX, generally well pleased with it. However, when caught out by the default Panther->Tiger upgrade installing loads of irrelevant languages (which took ages), I can find no way of UNinstalling them. Nor, indeed, any generic way on UNinstalling MacOsX s/w, unless a particular program specifically provides that option for itself.
Can this be true? Or have I missed something. (I have tried a search).

<< When you originally installed Mac OS X, there was a customize button to install or not install those languages >>
Yes, I discovered too late... Being a MaxOsX newbie, I did not feel inclined to 'customise' the upgrade; clearly one should. I expected a list of what would be installed.
<<monolingual>>
Thanks to all those who suggested & commented on this; will give it a try.

<< I assume you are talking about 'Applications', or 'Programs' in Windows speak? >>
Yes; but I am not a Windoze man (though know of it): more Unix/Linux pkgs.
<< If they do not have a specific uninstaller then generally you are safe just dragging them to the trash and emptying it. >>
I had thought of that, except that (Unix background) I know that applications typically put things in everyone's home directory, and possibly other places like /etc. You need a rigorous un-install for all that. And it does not resolve the excess language issue...
<< Don't trash anything that the OS has put in the 'Utilities' folder in Applications >>
Would not fream of doing so. Am thinking more in terms of applications added that one subsequently wants to remove, not original install s/w.
Once again, thanks to all.
