Question. I am running 10.6.8. on my macbook and wrongly/inadvertently downloaded Lion Safari rather than an update to my trusty browser system. How do I uninstall Lion which seems to have overwritten. 'scrubbed' my faithful friend leaving me bereft - hence this plea sent via my Imac.
Try the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion community on how to uninstall Lion.

If you are unable or unwilling to update to Office 2008 or 2011, you can install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion and continue to use Office 2004 (and most other PowerPC applications) concurrently with Lion or Mt. Lion:

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.Go to the menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience. -
Hi,
I have a 5s iphone with 16 GB. My phone storage is basically always full, to the point where I can't take pictures or send them. I only have 10 songs, 912 pictures and 2 apps. I don't use email on my phone, so it seems I should have space to have more apps and take pictures, etc. I looked at my storage manager and just noticed that it says I have 5.6 GB of uninstalled apps. I can't delete the apps from the apps store on my phone, even though they're not on my phone and when I logged into my apps store on my laptop, it said there were no apps... How can I get my space back on my phone? Does anyone know of a way to delete the apps or what to do in this situation?
Thanks!Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?

If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

My mobile hotspot (Samsung Note II) no longer works since I upgraded to mountain lion (running on MacBook Pro) What happened and how do I get it back? "
Keep getting error message:
"Could not join “NAME-HOTSPOT”.
A connection timeout occurred"
Please someone help me with this - I do a lot of travelling and use my hotspot!
ThanksTake each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC). -
How do I get back my files and setting after re-installing Lion?
After I deleted the wrong file, I had to re-install Lion. After I went through the setup none of my file were on the desktop and the settings had all defaulted. After I looked under the User folder, I noticed there are 2 different users listed, ajoep3 and my_full_name.my_full_name contains all the files, and prseumably setting that I had before the re-install.
How do I get those back? It won't allow me sign in under any other login.I have a backup, through Time Machine, but I didn't use that. I had files that weren't backed up on Time Machine, so I re-installed Lion from the App store. I hoped it would just replace the system files I had deleted. It's hard to explain, but the user names, ajoep3 and my_full_name are tied together.
When I open the users folder it shows, ajoep with a house next to it, my_full_name and Shared. When I log in or out it only shows ajoep3. my_full_name isn't list in the system preferences>>users or any where else. -
i reformatted my mac pro from lion back to snow leopard how do i get my music back. i have it on my iphone and when i sync up i still do not have my music on my mac how do i transfer it back to my mac.
Wow, you didn't make a backup of your files first?
You shoudl have come here first for help before doing that.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
All I can say is make sure you have the same account name on the computer like before, even if you have to create a new user under System Preferences>accounts, then log into your itunes account with that and try to reverse sync from the iPhone like you would normally.
Apple doesn't expect one to go backwards, so they are not all that friendly, you may have to ask around on MacRumors for third party software that can reverse sync from iOS devices.
Good luck -
I was using open office spreadsheet today and inadvertantly clicked on a menu item that caused the Apple toolbar to disappear when I am in open office. How do I get it back at the top of my screen? I am currently using OS 10 Lion.
Click on the Menu bar and go to View . Or, hover over where the Menu bar shiuld be and click on it when it appears. Try quitting and relaunching Finder.

How to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard???
How do I get rid of Lion and go back to Snow Leopard PERMANENTLY?
I am not techno.
I need simple instructions with plain descriptions. I do not have any discs. The iMac came with Snow Leopard and I loaded NOTHING.
I should never have bought Lion. It is awful.
Please someone tell me how to get Lion off my computer and go back to Snow Leopard.Can I use time machine to restart the machine before the fateful day when I bought and installed Lion?
Yes, if you have a pre-Lion backup, but you need an installation disc.
Is there anything else I can do? more RAM?
I don't know how much RAM you have. It must be at least 2 GB, or Lion wouldn't have installed. If that's all you have, you might get better performance by adding more. But from your description, I doubt that your problem is due entirely, if at all, to a lack of RAM. If you want to troubleshoot the problem, it will take some patience and effort, and you'll need to be in a calm frame of mind. -

How do i uninstall lightroom 4.4 and get back to 4.3?
I certainly made a mistake trying 4.4. I did a few things in 4.4 am not sure where the problem started, but i made numerous changes in photoshop (always updating the metadata) and things seemed fine. Then i created a new file in photoshop and did an import, but since i had a flash drive plugged in, LR imported from that. Where those photos went in LR, I don't know. Was the catalog actually updated, I don't know. I removed the flash drive and synchronized folders. From that point on, i had problems with metadata. I have been very careful uploading and downloading the metadata properly when linking to photoshop and creating new files from an original opened from lightroom. However, now in LR, metadata seems to be a problem. My filter 'unsaved metadata' had 20-30 files, and i know they were ok. I saved them anyway (maybe not a good idea). Interesting thing, LR keeps showing those files with unsaved metadata, even after I save them. It's like LR 4.4 isn't saving metadata. I absolutely know there is a problem because of an original dng file that i didn't touch showed as unsaved metadata.
At this point, I'm going to have to revert to my last catalog backup prior to installing 4.4. Then i want to deinstall 4.4 and reinstall 4.3. I'm a bit unclear how to do this. I'll save my settings and previews and backup catalogs, but with all the downloading these days, I'm not sure I have LR dvds.Findings to date: first, thanks to everyone for suggestions. I chose a less drastic approach than deinstall, and still have 4.4. Reviewing the responses, I suddenly remembered that I had a similar problem in 4.3, but only one time. And I confirmed this problem in 4.4. I can't give you a scenario for how it happened, or why it happens to some images and not others. It's not a security problem, though that was a good idea to check out. My solution in 4.3 was simply to delete the photos (didn't really need them)! What happens is that when I click on the down arrow on an image to write metadata to file, the down arrow does not go away, so it seems that the metadata is not updated. However, when I look at the properties in Windows Explore for that image, it shows the date updated as the date that I hit the arrow, so the metadata, I believe, IS being updated. If this is true, then it is simply some error in 4.4 (and existed in 4.3) as to how LR updates its own arrow. Here's another interesting thing. I tried 'edit in photoshop' and making a change, just to see what happens. Well, that REALLY resulting in some strange behavior SOME TIMES, but not all times. Some times, when i made a slight change in PS, saved, and returned to LR, the active link between LR and PS served to update the metadata flag. However on some occasions a new image was created, and I did this a number of times. It would have a name something like the original image name with "_edit-1", _"edit-2", etc. Before I noticed what was going on, I just saw the unsaved metadata flag, and edited one of those copies in PS, and would come back to LR with another new image and an increased name, such as "_edit-4", etc.
So, rather than uninstalling, I carefully reviewed most of my images in the catalog to determine the extent of the damage, and these peculiarities affected far fewer images than I had thought. I updated the metadata when notified, and most of them worked.
However, I will say that I am quite certain that I had not changed some of these images in order to get that metadata out of sync indicator. A few of the images that showed the metadata out of sync were complete original dng images that I KNOW I did nothing to so I'm quite sure this was a mistake on LR's part, but I can't prove it because I know that other software affects metadata, including Bridge which I try to stay out of. These particular images, and they were few in number, simply would not update the tag when i clicked the indicator. Anyway, I suggest folks really check out the metadata functions, but like I said, I believe this problem exists in 4.3, also, but why only a small subset of images, I don't know. -
