How to downgrade to Tiger

I have a G4 PowerBook which is upgraded to Leopard -> too slow.
I want to downgrade to Tiger.
I would do a full install:
Concern: how can I get all email messages back to mail in Tiger?

I have just gone through the same process - unhappy with Leo on my ageing iBook G4- and reverted to Tiger. I saved the 'Mail' folder from Leopard's ~/Library before downgrading. I have just tried substituting the Leo ~Library/Mail for Tiger's and some messages didn't get imported. I couldn't see any rhyme or reason for the discrepancies. Many of my pop messages were re-downloaded - but not all(?) - and my IMAP a/c didn't seem to import any messages. One pop a/c was completely empty. As I'd ascertained that I could afford to lose many of the messages before the downgrade and copied those that I couldn't into textedit files it wasn't particularly important to me whether or not it worked. I have now put back the Tiger ~Library/Mail folder. Some pop messages were re-downloaded & duplicated but nothing was lost in the trial.
Interestingly the 'Import Mailboxes' facility failed to find any importable messages in Leopard's Mail folder. Go figure.

How can I downgrade to Tiger after Leopard install on an iBook G4?

I am getting rid of my old iBook G4 and want to downgrade to Tiger for the new owner. I have no files that I need on the iBook so I just need help doing a clean restore and install of 10.4. The problem is, when I boot off the install disk, I get a kernal error which include the words "panic" and "hanging". It fails to let me boot off of my 10.4 install discs (which are the original ones that came with the machine, not a copy).

Use the one that came with the iBook. Does it have the Apple Hardware Test program on it? It might be a separate disk. If you have it, see if it'll boot the machine. If so, run the extended tests. One other thing you can try is reset the PRAM as detailed in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

How to downgrade from Adobe 1.4 to 1.3.1 on a Mac?

I upgraded to Adobe 1.4 on my Mac, running Tiger.
For various reasons, Adobe 1.4 is broken (see other threads).
How can I downgrade to 1.3.1? I have the DMG, but when I try to downgrade, Adobe Lightroom says "there is nothing to install".
And in the main menus, I do not see an option to uninstall.
I tried to rename the Lightroom.app folder, but no luck.
Can someone from Adobe at least post detailed instructions on how to downgrade, while we wait for the bugs to be fixed??
This is hardly what I expect from a professional-grade product.

> Be warned that if you "write metadata to file" when dealing with a RAW image you will change the modification date of the original RAW file. Ian has stated that this is a confirmed *bug*.
I can see that for many this is undesirable, and since it's an unintended behavior and a change from all previous versions, labeled a 'bug'.
Since I view editing a RAW file a modification, changing its modified date in the Finder is a plus, not a negative, and in my book, not a bug.
I must be missing something, but what as to this facet? Being on a Mac, and finding this not a problem, is there anything else seriously off with 1.4? (I am aware of the official recommendation, but I plan to stay with 1.4 as I keep in RAW till I am done editing, and then convert to DNG. I just won't convert to DNG with 1.4.)

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How to: Downgrade from OS 9.2.1 to OS 9.1 or Earlier

Been looking everywhere for an answer...
I have a PowerBook 2400c, won't boot into anything over OS 9.1. I have installed onto a hard drive OS 9.2.1 and now I have just learned it is not compatible with pre-G3 machines. I get an error message when trying to boot into OS 9.2.1 on the 2400c that the system is not supported, and it is overlayed the OS 9.2 Boot Window.
Since I only have a full, retail OS 9.2.1 install CD, and nothing earlier, I am looking for a way to downgrade it to OS 9.1. I tried to just install the 9.1 update overtop the 9.2.1 system, but it will only install it overtop OS 9.0-9.0.4.
By the way, and this is just for information, OS 9.2.1 is installed on a CF card. I boot my older machines with Systems installed on CF Cards: they are inserted into the PowerBooks via a PCMCIA/CF Card adapter. They all work great, and this is in no way a cause of the problem.
So does anyone know how to downgrade OS 9.2.1 - OS 9.1 when one only has (1) Full OS 9.2.1 retail install CD (2) OS 9.1 Update Installer???
Thanks.

Move the card onto a system where it is usable, and then run the patched version of the 9.2.2 update on it. The Mac OS 9.1 updater can't downgrade a 9.2 or newer system; that capability requires a Mac OS 9.0 or 9.1 CD.

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

A handful of people scream about every update that is ever put out. It is the nature of technology and blame. Perhaps try addressing your issue instead of blaming yet another update. you would never had of installed 8.2 if you took these forums as any true representation of iOS users.

How to downgrade from windows 8.1 to windows 8

I have a HP Pavilion 15-E016TX Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win8/ 2GB Graph) that came with windows 8 single language.

I have a few doubts regarding this..
1. Wil this erase all my data from all the drives...I had a single drive when I brought it at first, I manually partitioned it..
OK. You did not provide that information before. So my previous post was a waste of time. You will need to purchase recovery media from HP. If you had recovery media available and selected factory image recover, it would delete and recreate partitions on the boot drive not the secondary hard disk.
Looking for recovery disks or usb recovery media?
2. What about reset or refreshing the pc. Will it help?
No. Reset or refresh will only refresh to the current Windows 8.1 operating system
3. Is it going to be windows 8 single language again.
It won't work if there is no recovery partition, so you don't have to worry about that
4. How can I stop the installation of windows 8.1 in future.
Modify the Windows update settings. See the following image

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to ios 7.1.2

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to ios 7.1.2

I think the best iOS version for iPad mini 1st gen was 7.1.2.
I use my iPad with music production software and still it was on 7.1.2 I got no problems, but now I'm in trouble using AudioBus for memory problems when I record to a DAW. Synth softwares are laggy, many crack here and there, like it has no more power to reproduce all the voices I need.
Really the only way is the jailbreak? 8.1.1 is not optimized for older devices: the update had to be not released through iTunes.
Bye.

How do I install Tiger on a Mini

I have a 2009 Mac Mini which came with Leopard, I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and am very unhappy with this OS. Can and if so how do I install Tiger?
I have tried inserting the Tiger install disc and everything freezes up!

Phooey! I was afraid of that.
I'm afraid my wife and I are getting old and set in our ways. The loss of the "Home" folder in he Dock, the new appearance of Safari and Google, and many of the "new" features expanded our learning curve beyond it's limits. My wife is legally blind and uses a 37" display with magnification and voice-over. Navigating a new screen has been very difficult. Besides, I can not find a feature in Leopard or Snow Leopard that makes a change worthwhile.
I may have to dig out her eMac!

Re: Using DVD drive in iMac G4 for iMac G3 in Target Disk Mode-->won't read DVD
Posted: 26-Oct-2006 4:37 PM in response to: AJ Nealey

I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."

Upgrade Safari 1.2 to 1.3.1 after downgrade from Tiger to Panther

I wished to restore performance to my G3 iBook by downgrading from Tiger to Panther, and have been successful with that and have restored all apps to Panther versions except for Safari. The downgrade (archive and install) left Safari 2.0 on my HD for some reason, which of course wouldn't launch under 10.3.9. I dragged Safari 2 to the trash, downloaded Safari 1.2 which installed fine. However when I try to upgrade now to 1.3.1, I am told by the installer that the software cannot be used with the disc volume (the system volume) I choose to install to.
(BTW, invoking Software Update says my software is all up to date, even though I'm only on Safari 1.2.)
I've seen the other threads which have suggested removing Safari pkg receipts from /library/receipts, but this hasn't helped me in this case; I can't find any thread that had a successful resolution yet. Anything else anyone can suggest? Many thanks.

Mark:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can try using Pacifist to extract Safari from your install disk and install it. You may then be able to upgrade it more easily, although I can't promise that for sure.
Unless you are absolutely wedded to Safari, I find Camino to be at least as good (I think better) as Safari, and looks almost identical, so that there should not be much of a learning curve. I also use Firefox and especially like it for the measure of security it provides.
Please do not hesitate to post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.
