How does one revert to Mountain Lion from Mavericks?

I got a new iMac a week and a half ago. It was running Mtn Lion, with i73.5, 8gb ram. I upped the memory to 16gb and installed Mavericks.
Now I have some issues that others are experiencing with Photoshop: some keyboard shortcuts not working, strange cursor behavior. There are some other things, just within my computer's behavior, that I'm not sure aren't related to Mavericks, as well, but since I've never worked on a Mac before last week, I just don't know.
The problems seem to be fixed, as reported by others over in Adobe forums, by reverting to Mountain Lion, and waiting for bug fixes in Mavericks.
I am new to the Mac world so I'd appreciate some detailed advice on the best way to do that.
Thanks for your help.

You should be calling AppleCare regarding problems with a new Mac. Telephone support is free for the first 90 days of ownership.
Various Adobe apps have had problems with Mavericks. Apple can't fix Adobe's problems. Consult Adobe for support options.

  • How does one update to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard?

    My friend has Snow Leopard and wants to up date to Mountain Lion, how is it possible for her?

    See Here  >  Upgrade to Mountain Lion
    Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
    By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade...
    You will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
    Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

  • How do I revert back to Lion from Mavericks?

    How do I revert back to Lion from Maverick? Maverick does not support our server.

    If you do end up needing to go the erase and re-install route because you do not have current backup to restore from, ensure that you make a clone or Time Machine copy of your current setup before doing the erase and re-install of Lion  as the erase process will delete all your data.

  • Can I use time machine to revert to Mountain Lion from Maverick?

    In spite of everyone saying how great Maverick is, I have poblems with slow operation, hard to use mail addresses, problems with iPhoto, etc. So I want to go back to Mountain Lion. Can I use Time Machine to restore back before Maverick was installed?

    Only if you have a full backup of Mountain Lion on your Time Machine backup drive. Then you can boot to the Recovery HD that is on the Time Machine backup drive, erase your drive, then do a full Mountain Lion restore. But if you have already used Time Machine to backup your Mountain Lion system, then this won't work. You will need to erase the drive and reinstall Mountain Lion separately. Then you can restore your Home folder from the Time Machine backup.
    Or you can avoid all the above by trying to fix the problems with your Mavericks system. You will need to upgrade iPhoto.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.3 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Update (Combo).

    How to keep finder in mountain lion from opening at startup.?

    Now you got me thinking....
    One can set things up so Finder can be quit like any other application.  In Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 1
    Then relaunch the Finder.
    I guess it might be possible to make a an Applescript or Automator application which runs at start up and quits the Finder.

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How do I upgrade to Mountain lion from 10.5.8?

    So it seems as though this is going to be a major hassle. My java has corrupted and the only way to get it to work again is to upgrade my system.
    (I know that this is the only way because I have tried everything imaginable and after trying everything imaginable, I went to the apple store and the rep told me the only way to fix the problem is to upgrade my OS because apple no longer offers patches for 10.5.) BTW, 10.5.8 does not have the App store.. which seems to be where I am running into all of my problems.
    Since I have to upgrade my system, I want to go ahead and upgrade it to the most recent OS (which is mountain lion). It seems like the only way to do this is to buy snow leapord (which is no longer offered by apple) and then to purchase mountain lion from the app store. So now my problem is where to buy snow leapord? Well it seems like amazon and a number of other non apple retailers offer it for $100+ which is absolutely rediculous for an OS that used to cost $19.99 when it came out.
    So I guess my real question is, can I buy the mountain lion OS on a usb flash drive and just bypass having to buy snow leapord? I know its not out on the flash drive yet, but will it eventually come out on the flash drive? If not, can I just buy lion on the USB and bypass having to buy snow leapord? Or has apple found a way to make me spend unnecessary money on a system that I will not use because I am just going to buy their more recent system?
    I appreciate any and all help as I am seemingly at an impass (unless I want to spend in excess of $130 just to get a $30 OS).

    Those are all questions for Apple to answer and I'm sorry do not have anything to do with Pages.
    There are several alternatives. Apple did have Lion on a USB flash drive, you could try installing that then using the M.A.S. to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    When you install Lion/Mountain Lion btw, make sure you back up the installer to use directly in the future. There are several guides how to do that online.
