How to convert back to v10.7 Lion

I am using 10.8.2 Moutian Lion
but i would like to convert back to v10.7
Reason for this is my sims 3 does not play well as all on the new update
I would like to have Moutain Liom on macintosh HD (350GB)
then 10.7 on Macintosh HD 2 (Mounted Patition) (Second Volume 150GB)
or if anyone knows a way i can play my sims without crashing help

Hold down the Command+Option+r key at startup, hold those key down until you see a Spinning Globe in the center of the screen (If you let them up before you see the globe the computer will either boot normally or to the built in Recovery HD partition). That will boot the computer from the Online Internet Recovery system where you can Re-Install Lion 10.7.5 on your other partition. When the computer boots from the Internet select Reinstall Mac OS X, and underneath that is should say "Reinstall Lion OS X on your Mac" or something similar. Click on that and click the Continue button. When it starts POINT i the install to the second partition on your drive (that is if you have already created it).
It is best to have the system WIRED, Ethernet cable, to your router as WiFi will work but any WiFi drop outs will cancel the download and install.
Good Luck and Best Wishes.
P.S.
I to have gone back to Lion but stilll have Mt Lion and Snow Leopard installed on separate partitions. IMHO Lion just runs better then Mt Lion. Mt Lion is just to iOSish for me.

How to go back to os x lion from mountain lion

os x mountain lion made my macbook pro very slow since i downloaded, how do i go back to os x lion, it is not showing in my purchases. my macbook used to be a pleasure to use before that! :-(

Did your machine come with Lion originally?
If so, you can do it - if not, you can't without a full backup. NOTE: Backup all your files first as you will need to fully erase your drive.
You can use internet recovery (Command + Option + R during restart) to access Apple's servers. Once connected, go to Disk Utility to erase your drive and it will then automatically reinstall the original OS.

How to convert an int number to a byte array, and how to convert back?

Hello, everybody,
Just as the topic, if I have an int number(which should have 32-bit, or 4-byte), how can I convert it into a byte array. And also, how to convert it back.
Thank you in advance!

Alternatively you can use ByteBuffers to do this work for you
// to a Byte Array
int originalInt =...;
ByteBuffer myBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(4);
myBuffer.putInt( originalInt );
byte myArray[] = myBuffer.array();
// and back to an int
ByteBuffer myOtherBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(myArray);
int finalInt = myOtherBuffer.getInt();

How to convert back from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1 encoding?

hi,
I have a bunch of XML files which were wrongly encoded, and we lost all our accent characters.
ie: é become Ã©
so how can I recover my XML files using powershell?
so I want to change all the UTF8 ecoded characters back to the original ISO accent character
Ã© -> é
I try this:
1")
$utf8 = [System.text.Encoding]::UTF8
$utfBytes = $utf8.GetBytes("Ã©")
$isoBytes = [System.text.Encoding]::Convert($utf8, $iso, $utfBytes)
$iso.GetString($isoBytes)
but doesnt works.
so is there a way to do this in powershell?
I have to scan hundreds of files...
thanks.

You can't. UTF-8 strips all of the information from the characters so you cannot know which characters are which. If you know which characters you need to fix (requires knowing the spelling of the words) you could possible develop an matrix of
replacements. There is no simple one line method.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to convert back to regular plan?

I am on a shared plan. I started the edge plan in December so I could get a new phone and the other line is not on the edge plan. How can I convert my phone back to the regular plan and not be on the edge plan anymore?

Sives, we love the Edge program and want you to as well! Why do you want to stop it? Maybe we can find a good solution for you. After the 14 day worry free timeframe is over the Edge plan cannot be canceled.

How to Convert back to CS5.5 after cancellation of Creative Cloud CS6

I have subscribed to cloud for use and trial, however I am purchasing CS5.5 since I found it so great, but still can't afford the cs6. My question is about the documents i made in premiere pro cs6, and the ones that were converted to CS6 from my earlier version previously used (CS4). How do I get those back to former versions so I can edit and use them again after cancelation of creative cloud cs6?
I have a whole lot of Premiere Pro and Aftereffect docs that I edited and hence were converted during use of the CS6 Cloud, but now I NEED them back to either CS5.5 (which I am purchasing today), or at the very least my CS4.

It's a circular thing: You need AE CS6 to save back to CS5.5, so unless you stil lhave a working CS6 version, there's no way to convert. Premiere Projects are generally not backward compatible, but I could be wrong. I don't use Premiere that often and may be missing something...

How to Convert Crystal Enterprise v10.0 Business Views to BOE XI?

Hi,
It took a long time, but my company FINALLY upgraded from Crystal Enterpise and Crystal Reports v10.0. We just purchased BusinessObjects Edge XI and Crystal Reports 2011. I went to the training class a few months ago, but due to the delay in our actually getting the applications, I feel as though I've forgotten most of what I was taught!
With the old version, we built all our reports off Business Views (using Business View Manager - which was an add-on component of Crystal Enterprise) that are sourced from an Oracle database. I have over 420 report files that are built against these business views.
I have tried to open a report in Crystal Reports 2011, and I'm prompted to log in to BusinessObjects Enterprise to load the business view. When I enter the credentials for the NEW system that I just installed (a brand new install on a new server), I get an error "Access Denied: You cannot log into an older version of the CMS." So obviously the stored business views that are trying to load have the old system information associated with them. Understandable.
I cannot find Business View Manager in the new BOE XI. Is it an add-on? Where can I get it? Can I even convert my old business views? If not, am I going to have to rebuild all my data sources?
I don't know what a "Universe" is - and I've never used them - but is that similar to a Business View?
The problem I get is that if I try to associate a new data source (I tried direct Oracle connection), all the fields in my report disappear when the old (unloadable) business view is removed. Essentially this would require me to rebuild all my reports!
I'm not sure what to do here. I have 420+ reports to convert so we can load them on this new server, and I have only about 2 weeks to do it. If I have to rebuild them all, there is no way I can complete this in time for our cutover.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! (I'm new to this "forum" thing, too - so if I'm not doing this right or if there is some other place I should be putting this, please let me know)
Thanks,
Amber Smith

Hi Amber,
Thank you for the reply.
Well if you can logon to Business Objects Server then you can see the Business View Manager from Start menu-> All Programs-> Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1-> Business View Manager
or else you can look for business view manager executable file in c:\program files\business objects\business objects enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CrystalBVM.exe
When you open Crystal reports, there is an option to change the datasource of an existing report to any other datasource. The only condition that should be met is that the structure of new datasource should be similar to the existing one.
I have not changed the business view datasource to universe, but i will try it and let you know.
Thanks,
Kuldeep G

Lion is a bit of a memory hog - kernel_task will use quite a bit and Safari is known to use more; you can't do anything about the system, but changing to Firefox may help a little. The best way to deal with it is to increase your RAM; the required minimum is just that: the minimum. My Macbook would keep crashing and beachballing until I upped the RAM to 4 GB. RAM is inexpensive right now - check out OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial.com; both reputable RAM vendors with lifetime warranties. You won't regret it.
As for iDVD - I purchased the retail iLife 11 disk because of iDVD (because I use that a lot) - it's available at online resellers, the Apple Store, and ebay.

A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
(If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

MacBook pro does not start. How can I back to Mac OS X Lion?

I have a MacBook Pro. On my MacBook i made three partition, then I installed window 8. After that I started windos and try to delete third partition by Administrator tool from windows operating system. After that my MacBook does not start. How can I back to Mac OS X Lion?
After that I again install windows 8 from a DVD. Windows start well, but I can not start Mac OS system, may be it was 10.6. Sever times I tried to install OS X Lion 10.7 thought DVD, I could not. On MacBook I have a lot of important data.
What can I do. I want to a complete suggestion. Please help me to solve the problem.
My MacBook Pro model no. A1286.

You installed Windows improperly the result of which was to wipe out the bootloader for OS X. You can give this a try:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the OS X disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
If you are still unable to boot from the OS X volume then you will need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard 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 Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
This will destroy the Windows bootloader so you cannot boot into Windows. The solution is to remove all the partitions on the drive except the OS X partition, then expand the OS X partition to take up the entire drive.
Use Boot Camp Assistant in the Utilities folder to create a Windows partition on which you can install Windows. You cannot have any other partitions on the drive besides these two.
Now given all the above you may be able to install a third-party bootloader that would work with the setup you now have: Boot Runner 1.4.

How to go back to Mountain lion os x 10.8 again from mavericks.?

How to go back to Mountain lion os x 10.8 again from mavericks.?

You can reinstall your system from a backup (Time Machine or "clone") or erase it completely and reinstall Mountain Lion.
OS X Mountain Lion: Erase and reinstall OS X
If your Mac shipped with Mountain Lion already installed, you can reinstall it. Otherwise, you can only reinstall Mountain Lion if you purchased it from the App Store.
You may be better off describing the problems you're experiencing, so that they can be fixed. The vast majority of Mavericks complaints are due to outdated or poorly written software or similarly incompatible system modifications, and some simple troubleshooting may reveal the cause.

How can I order OS X v10.7 Lion for two computers? One Macbook and one Imac.

How can I order OS X v10.7 Lion for both my MacBookPro and my Imac?

Install 10.6.8 on one computer to access the App Store, purchase, and download Lion. You can install on all the computers you own. Although you can re-download Lion after you purchase it, you may prefer the following:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

How to convert surround back to stereo?

I've got into a problem with surround sound. One track from the loops library is in surround format and this seems to make it impossible to insert mastering fx in the normal way on the Out 1&2 tracks? (The insert slots have simply disappeared.)
Can anyone enlighten? How does a surround sound get converted back to normal stereo, and how do i go about restoring the insert slots to the out 1&2?
Thankz ahead,

How Do You Remove A Program In OS X v10.7 Lion

How do I remove a program in OS X v10.7 Lion? I tried to click the X on the top left corner of the icon but there was no X. The program came with something to uninstall it. I also tried that and reset my computer but that did not work.

If it is in /Applications just select it and ⌘-Delete.If that doesn't work, try AppCleaner or AppZapper.
EDIT: If you mean only the alias in the Dock remains just drag it off the Dock and "poof" it.
