How to keep an earlier version of AW in case update causes problems?

I have several ideas on how to make this update less of a problem just in case I can't access older docs. Is any of these solutions workable?
Is it possible to burn a useable CD of my current AW 6 folder in case the update to 6.2.9 doesn't work - or doesn't open older documents that my current version does open?
Could I then run AW directly from this CD to access the older docs if they can't be opened from the update? (even though a newer version -6.2.9 - of AW would be installed in X?)
OR can I reinstall AW 6 (into my OS 9 startup disk) from my original AW install disk to access the older versions?
OR yet another idea, could I duplicate my current AW 6 folder and leave one AW 6 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and move another to Applications folder in X. Then, I could do the update app in the X folder and test if the old documents still open. Then I can just delete the duplicated folder which I left in OS 9. OR will having 2 AW 6 folders cause confusion when I do the update? I assume the single user legal issue is OK with 2 AW folders on my computer for a few hours.
Thanks for your input,
Mrs H

SUCCESS! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! (please keep reading there is a question at the end)
AW 6.2.9 is now on my G4.
Because of the way the Apple consultant at the Apple store set up our HDs when he installed Tiger for us, we had 2 copies already of AW 6.1. (We work from 3 external LaCie HDs)
I only updated the 6.1 that lives in Tiger. I left the other as is at 6.1 since I know it will open the older docs that I have and need there in OS 9. And it had a translator bundled in (by Dataviz if I recall) for other formats - I'm not sure if this nice feature still exists in the update.
The installer said it would install 6.2.8 (??) in OS 9 and 6.2.9 in OS X. But because I chose the AW 6 folder that lives in the X HD for the install, it only could access that and left the other alone.
MY NEW QUESTION:
The font list is quite short. I really don't use a lot of fonts, but do favour Verdana which is not in the list. Any clues on this?
Thank you all again so much for your help with this problem,

How can I keep the earlier versions without having Firefox automatically upgraded?

The earlier versions of Firefox operate normally burt as soon as you upgraded Firefox to recent upgrades such as versiion 7.01,I started to get a messae that says "this is so embarassing. Firefox will have to close." Also, Firefox wants to send the error report to Microsoft. I would prefer to keep the earlier versions of Firefox because these versions did not encounter this problem.
the earlier versioins of''' I know several of my friends that have this same problem and they have switched to Microsoft's Internet Explorer. I, too, have done the same but I prefer Firefox and would like to find a solution to this problem.

Perfect - easy. Thanks very much

How do you install earlier versions of Firefox, specifically 1.5 or 2.0?

I need Firefox 1.5 or 2.0 because it is the only version compatible with what I need but it will only let me install the latest version. How do I install earlier versions?

On A Mac you can only install one Firefox version at the time.
So if you really need an older version then try the portable version:

How can get an earlier version of my LDM ???

Hi,
we come to one issue:
say we modify LDM at Nov 1th, and modify LDM at Nov 2th,but after commit what we did at Nov1th,and Nov 2th, we find there are 'mistakes' in Nov 2th,
how can we get an earlier version of LDM?(in our case, we want revert to version Nov 1th).
we use SDDM Version 3.1.1.703,and we share the project under subversion managed.
more questions:
(under subversion managed SDDM projet)
1.what is best praise of backup in case we do something wrong and want rollback whole change to previous version?
2.how to do that ,is there any document guide ?(I searched this forum, seems not find similar topic)
Thanks,
Jinbo

Thanks Philip,
now we can see the old reversion.
but new issue comes.
say two users:user1 & user2 are working on the LDM, and remote directory called LDM_remoate
at Nov 2th,
user1 have a latest local working copy under his machine directory LDM_local_user1
user2 have a latest local working copy under his machine directory LDM_local_user2
At Nov3th,
user2 found some mistakes when user1 checked in at Nov 1th,so user2 want to get a earlier version say Nov 1 th,
according to your guide, user2 get the design reversion number Nov 1th, and re check out at new working copy(Nov 1th) under new local directory:LDM_local_user2_new
when user2 open LDM_local_user2_new, it indeed come back to version Nov 1th,
but in the incoming change window, it still show many incoming changes,
how to make the remote LDM_remote to become like LDM_local_user2_new? so that user1 only need check incoming change from LDM_remote as usual to make at local copy
LDM_local_user1 also reverted to version Nov 1th?
hope I make it clear to you.
thanks,
Jinbo

How do i download earlier versions itunes

how do I download an earlier version iTunes

Presuming that by Pretoria you mean South Africa, you will need to import CDs into iTunes or purchase music from some other source, if any exist in SA. Apple has not at this been able to offer music for sale in your country. You can find a list of what content is available to you in the iTunes Store on this web page:

How do I retrieve earlier versions of a photo project that was changed as I was setting up front cover

As I was playing around on the front cover of an album re background colour etc I somehow changed the # of photos on the whole album( per page ) and now can't retrieve the earlier version of the album. The software has chosen several photos from each page and decided that it would be 4 / page .... hoping to be able to retrieve earlier version and rework it ???

How to downgrade to earlier version of Quicktime?

I've been having trouble with awful stuttering in iMovie 4. In another thread ("video stutter in very simple video project") it was suggested that iMovie4 does not run with QuickTime 7 (although they were bundled in my new OSX) and to downgrade to QuickTime 6. Having tried all other recommendations to no avail, I want to try the downgrade. Does anyone know how to do this? Or have any other information on this problem?
Sherry
iMac G3, 400 MHz, 576mb Ram, 80GB HD Mac OS X (10.3.9) Mac OS 9.2

t was suggested that iMovie4 does not run with QuickTime 7 (although they were bundled in my new OSX) ...G3, 400 MHz, 576mb Ram, 80GB HD Mac OS X (10.3.9)
afaik, it is recommended to use
10.3.x + QT 6.x + iM≤5
or....
10.4.x + QT 7.x + iM 6
plus, read the "recommended" hardware specs to run all the new, shiny software components.. I would NOT install 10.4/QT7 on an "antiqué" G3/400 ... I too own an old iBook G3/400.. with 10.3/QT6 and iM4...- works like charm, no need to upgrade ...
Golden Rule No. 11:
Never Change A Running System
.. and as Sue said: no way to downgrade from QT 7.02 .. only "escape" would be a clean reinstall from original, "old" installer disks ...
stuttering could have many other reasons ...
* your Macs 80GB could be crowded/full ... you should allways keep 10 - 15GB free while working with video...
* and, iM Grandmaster Karl Petersen made some observations, concerning "too many audio edits" in iMprojects.., long but helpful read here:

Hi Maheedhar,
You need to use function module POPUP_GET_VALUES.
If you want see sampl eprogram for this check the program RSSPO410.
Execute this program and input Example2 = X in the selection screen.
Code from the above Program:
DATA: BEGIN OF FIELDS OCCURS 1.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE SVAL.
DATA: END OF FIELDS,
      RETURNCODE(1)       TYPE C,
      POPUP_TITLE(30)     TYPE C.
POPUP_TITLE       = 'Nachrichten anzeigen'(200).
CLEAR FIELDS.
FIELDS-TABNAME    = 'T100'.
FIELDS-FIELDNAME = 'ARBGB'.
FIELDS-FIELDTEXT = 'Arbeitsgebiet'(202). "Text nicht aus DTEL
APPEND FIELDS.
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_GET_VALUES'
       EXPORTING POPUP_TITLE     = POPUP_TITLE
       IMPORTING RETURNCODE      = RETURNCODE
       TABLES    FIELDS          = FIELDS.
IF RETURNCODE = 'A'.
    If Cancel is clicked
ELSE.
    If OK is clicked.
    Table FIELDS congtains the input data.

How to keep the previous versions of my iWork files after moving them?

I have several iWork files which were stored in the iCloud. Today I was trying to move them into my USB drive. But after I moved them, I found that all the previous versions of these files were gone. If I moved them from iCloud to my Mac, those previous versions stayed there, but they would be gone if I moved the files into the USB drive.
Is there any way that I can keep the files' previous versions after moving to a USB drive? My USB drive is in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
Thank you!

I am sorry that I didn't make my point clear enough. By "previous versions" I mean "File > Revert To > Browse All Versions". If I moved my files to a thumb drive then it will become empty, I am wondering is there any way to prevent it from being erased. Thank you!

Well sorry about the duplicate posts, I got no idea which Community I should post in and I wish as many people can see my question as possible.
And you didn't solve my problem at all. I want my files ON the thumb drive but STILL have those previous versions. Thanks.

I don't like 7.0.2 and want to keep the earlier version

I don't like 7.0.2 and want the older version. I can easily burn cd's, the older version has a huge icon that is not confusing. However, I can't use the store without the newer version what can I do? Should I just sart using another friendlier mp3 service?
