How to get rid of maverick and go back to lion

I installed maverick on a macbook pro that had lion. How I want to go back to lion. Any help would be appreciated.

Or.... if your Mac has the Internet Recovery feature, restart using the Command+Option+R keys until you see a spinning globe. This will boot to Apple's server and their Recovery HD. At the OS X Utilities menu check which OS you have available to reinstall. Assuming your Mac came pre-installed with Lion, you should see the ability to reinstall it.
Make a back up first.

  • I need to get rid of Maverick and go back to Snow leopard 10.6.8    What is the best way to do this

    I do not want to lose my 20,000 photos, so I need to delete Maverick ASAP.

    Thjis issue is now resolved.  I restarted,the Apple with the option key pressed, then choose my time machine back up disk to rebbot from, and then chosse the date i wanted to reboot from.  The HD was automatically erased, and the previous system and all of its files were installed.  It took almost 8 hours to complete the project, but at least I got all of my photos back.  Now I want my money back from Apple, the $15 I had to spend to get my Iphoto app to work on Maverick.
    Maverick has got some nice featuresw to it, but when I can not open my photos, 21,0 0 0  It just aint worth it to have the latest OS.
    Mavericvk is so sick. . .  Fix it Apples

  • How to get rid of 8 and go back to 7?

    Somebody in the windows forum asked this and I was wondering if time machine would do it for Mac?

    I have some bad news for you.
    If there is an actual RAID configuration present, then there is no turning back.
    Breaking a RAID set destroys data on the set and makes it unbootable. That is why you are seeing the BSOD. If you kep playing with it, eventually it won't even boot up in RAID.
    That means starting again from scratch with a new OS install.

  • I've got OSX/Genieo.A virus on my mac and don't know how to get rid of it and why I have it

    I've got OSX/Genieo.A virus on my mac and don't know how to get rid of it and w I have it

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You installed the "Genieo" malware. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the malware (as long as you never reinstall it.)
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.
    If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
    Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
    /Applications/Genieo.app
    /Applications/Reset Search.app
    /Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
    ~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this trojan. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the attacker sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run a fake "uninstaller." As he intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware, and is in fact malware itself.

  • How do I get rid of "INBOX" and go back to "GOOGLE"?

    I can't get rid of "INBOX" and go back to "GOOGLE" when I open Firefox. The posted solutions requires me to start by entering about:config in the location bar. I don't have the foggiest notion of what the Hell is a location bar and what the next step means: "in the filter at the top......". Don't have any idea how this got changed during the last day or so, but it is extremely irritating and THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO GET A REAL LIVE PERSON TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

    Also note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
    # Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
    # Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
    You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
    You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove all (older) version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and (re)install the latest Flash player.
    *(32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
    *(64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to <b>ask.com</b> and reset user set (bold) <b>ask.com</b> prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

    Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
    I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
    Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.

  • Will uninstalling Mavericks and reverting back to Lion restore iMovie to 9.0.0?

    I’m someone who regularly uses iMovie to edit videos for YouTube, and given that my iMovie 9.0.4 recently decided to go bonkers beyond repair, I can no longer use it, for it’s no longer on my Mac.
    In short, iMovie 10 is an utter disgrace, and I want iMovie 9 back. Now, in order for me to get iMovie 9 back, will uninstalling Mavericks and reverting back to Lion (a better OS in my opinion anyway) return iMovie to its former glory? My Mac didn’t come with a disc, so how would this work?
    Thanks for any help can may be provided!

    You should still have iMovie9 in a folder after Mavericks upgrade.  It did not delete it.  Check your applications.

  • How to GET RID of RAID and get back to IDE??

    Hi,
    I have a great Z800 Workstation with a 1.5TB HDD running Win7Pro-64. I've been using an 128GB SSD cache (Synapse/Dataplex) for about a year with no trouble, but stupidly thought that Intel's RST (Rapid Storage Technology) would do a better job, for writing in particular. So I installed RST... and run into touble.
    RST put the two disks into a RAID... but since the disks are not the same geometry, and I appear to have an old chipset, it never actually worked: RST was unable to create a cache (i.e. to accelerate the HDD with the SSD) and the SSD became useless, as its Dataplex conroller clashed with the RAID.
    In short, I would like to GET RID of the RAID (in view to replace the HDD by an SSD altogether)... but that appears to be impossible: I uninstalled RST and followed the "removdrv.txt" advice to switch (back) from RAID to IDE in the machine Setup... but Windows BSODs unless I keep RAID. Yes, I tried any and every "Repair" options Win7 could offer.
    So my question is: how can I get rid of the (fake/useless) RAID and get back to IDE?
    Many thanks for your advice!

    I have some bad news for you.
    If there is an actual RAID configuration present, then there is no turning back.
    Breaking a RAID set destroys data on the set and makes it unbootable. That is why you are seeing the BSOD. If you kep playing with it, eventually it won't even boot up in RAID.

  • How to get rid of Mackeeper and Mplayer X

    I have system 10.9.4 on my macbook pro - today both Mplayer X and Mackeeper together downloaded onto my computer by mistake. Now it's a nightmare, normal links clicked on take me to Mackeeper and ads fill up my screen so I can't see what is underneath the ads!
    Safara was effected too, in my preferences set up "open links and windows to top sites", it keeps changing and going back to homepage.
    How can I get rid of these? I deleted them both but it made no difference.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks, Martha

  • How to get rid of growl and what is it?

    How do I get rid of Growl?

    https://www.dropbox.com/help/48
    What is Growl? How does Dropbox use it?
    From Growl's website: "Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: It allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications." In other words, Growl lets Dropbox notify you of any Dropbox activity right on your desktop. If Dropbox detects Growl is installed on your Mac, it will use it to display all Dropbox notifications.
    Growl notifications appear at the top right corner of the screen. A Growl notification will appear whenever new changes are made to the contents of your Dropbox, such as a newly added file or a change to a shared folder.
    Note from David:
    Therefore, "growlhelperapp" is a support file of Growl, which is placed on your system if you use Dropbox — that is, if you have enabled the Dropbox App.
    Growl appeared on my system yesterday, after I subscribed to Dropbox and enabled the Dropbox app.
    Whe the Dropbox App is enabled, it adds GrowlHelperApp — among other places — in the Login Items in your Accounts. Accounts is found in your System Preferences.
    Also, since Growl serves as a notification function, it might be placed on your system by means other than Dropbox. That is, it might be placed on your system by any number of applications that use Growl for notification purposes. By "notification" I mean, for example, that Growl is the way in which Dropbox notifies me that someone has added something new to one of my Dropbox folders.
