How to uninstall maverick

how do i uninstall mavericks on G5

Totally agree. I work around the clock and had a PhD review and (as a full time worker) film footage to finish for the weekend i.e. 48 hours after the 'Update' landed.
Update appears, let it run in the background, no clue that necessary programs will cease working, bibliographies and references with crash and disappear, iMovie UI will change so dramatically you won't know what you're doing until you've had time to re-learn it.
Absolute car crash. As for all the 'just rewind' well may some of us don't expect our update to basically wipe out perfectly happy OS and accumalited programs, jobs in progress WITHOUT A BIG FAT WARNING SCREEN and neither do we have time or energy for uninstalling updates.
Come one Apple, are you for real? You are rapidly losing shed loads of punters to Microsoft. Yup, thats how bad things are getting out here.

How to uninstall maverick back to mountain lion?

I have instaled maverick but have found that it does not support some programs so wish to revert back to mountin lion. Is this possible and if it is can you give me a very basic explenation of how to do so.
Many thanks

Another option too for those (kind of like me) who never did the time machine.
I just restored my computer back to Mountain Lion, and she's working perfect again, as I knew she would. E-mail popping into mailbox instantly as it should and did before the update, printer working fast as it was before update, no more freezing or glitches of any kind thankfully and finally. Here is the link that is through the Apple site to direct you on how to put your system back and get rid of Maverick's, that is assuming that is what you would like to do and also includes link for those wanting to try fixing the issue if that is your preference (most of this info is for those with mountain lion and some with the previousverisoin of OS X lion).
If you want to keep Maverick's here is a good post on the apple discussion board to help you out:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6161
If you just want to totally get rid of it and put back what you had before, this is the short version of how to do so:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
NOTE: This particular link has a lot of info on what to do for different situations, it is a bit lengthy, yet still very helpful.

OS X: About OS X Recovery (also from apple support directly and includes some instructions just the same as previous links above):

Just in case you aren't sure what it will all look like as you are doing things, this is a link to show you a few pics of what you will see as you as you are going through the process, it can be helpful for those who aren't sure what they are doing or how to do things at all:

I hope this helps someone, it was amazing for me and my system is working perfect again like it was, battery life is way better went from like 3 hours to like 5 (not on full charge by the way, after it sat for a while doing the online update which took a while so that's saying something alone, huge improvement). I plan to wait a while before attempting to reinstall Maverick's, long enough for them to fix the bugs.

I can't uninstall Maverick no one has posted a step by step

Because the Step by Step depends on what you will install in place of Mavericks.
Basically:
Boot from the install media for your prior version.
Re-partition the hard drive.

How do I uninstall Mavericks Server?

Okay, I wasn't really using my MacBook Pro as a server in the past, but it appears that Apple has added a "helpful" feature to Mavericks Server where, according to "pmset -g", Server is perpetually preventing the computer from sleeping: "sleep prevented by com.apple serve"
I'm not really using Server on my Mac anymore, so how do I uninstall it under Mavericks? I've searched Apple Support and the rest of the web, and can see plenty of advice out there for Lion and Mountain Lion, but none for Mavericks yet, so I'm wondering if someone has already done this...

I was talking about uninstalling Mavericks Server, not Mavericks. The server is just one app that happens to install a number of other services. But anyway, here's my advice:
If you have a computer that Apple launched on or after Mavericks launched, then you cannot uninstall Mavericks.
If you have an older computer, then the best way to get the old OS back is to restore a backup from before you installed Mavericks. Lacking that, if you made an install DVD of the old OS before running the installer (which is always a good idea), then you can boot that DVD, wipe your drive, and install the older OS. You will lose all your data by wiping the drive, so make a backup of important data first.
If you don't have a backup, or you don't have an older OS install DVD, then consider this to be a learning experience. If Mavericks broke your app, then you'll have to wait for a newer version to come along.

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back. I retired from graphics a few years back but still have old clients I do work for and maintain files for. Would not have upgraded if I had known of the incompatability.

You did not due any due dilligence to investigate if your legacy apps would run, you should upgrade your apps. However if you feel you have to downgrade back to SL then click

This is infuriating. I replied yes to an inocuous request if I wanted to upgrade to Mavericks OSX on my MacBook Pro. I said yes and now MS Word 2011 gets stuck in start up.
MS Word 2011 is compatible with Mavericks. This isn't an issue of either Mavericks or MS Word being bad or buggy software. Something is wrong with your system, and there's no way to identify what that might be based on such sparse information. Could be some other bad third-party software, could be a corrupt system, could be a corrupt Word install, could be the initial stages of some kind of hardware failure. Could be something else entirely.
If you need help, you'll want to start your own topic and clearly explain the problem. Avoid the negativity and blaming Mavericks for no good reason, as you have already seen a sample of how those kinds of posts are typically received here.
