HT5946 Is it possible to downgrade to an older version of Java?

Ever since I upgraded Java to version 1.6.0_65 (Update 17) it will not work. I am reluctant to upgrade my operating system (OS X 10.6.8) as everything else works fine. I have a not so new macbook pro (Intel core 2 duo) 2.53Ghz 32Bit (with 64 bit kernal). I can't find an older version of Java on the apple website (or anywhere else)
Thanks!

Ok. I have found that I can get this version of Java to work if I uncheck the box "Keep temporary files to ensure fast access" under Network in the Java Preferences. I don't really understand why but it works so I don't really care.

I accidentally deleted Garageband on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of Garageband is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD for my computer

I accidentally deleted GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?

If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
Is it possible to still get the older version?
Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.

Is it possible to downgrade to an older OS?

I have been looking to get a new blackberry, and I really like the specs and the camera for the Q10.
But I tried out the new Blackberry 10 OS at my cell phone carrier, and I really do not like the gesture-based interface.
I'm wondering if it is possible to buy a Q10 and then downgrade to an older OS - like maybe OS 7 or 6.
Please help,
-A dedicated Blackberry user
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, sorry. OS 10 is all that is available for the Q10. My guess is whoever showed you the gesturing at the store wasn't interested in selling you a Q10. Once you get used to it gesturing is very natural and I really like it on my Z10 and Q10 both.

Downgrading to an older version - will I lose my LIBRARY?

I know someone in another thread said that if you downgrade, you'll lose your playlists...but will you also lose your library and playcount too...?

Yeah, I lost all my playlists when I downgraded. I didn't know it was going to happen, so I didn't try to prepare for it. When I opened the older version after installing it I got an error message that said something like "iTunesLibrary.itl was created by a newer version of iTunes and cannot be accessed." Then when I clicked the error box iTunes would just close. So I had to go into the iTunes folder & delete that file before it would open, which means I deleted all my playlists and playcounts, etc. There is a previous itunes library file, but when I try to open it nothing happens, or if I try to import it in itunes it won't open.
When I was looking in iTunes help there's a section about 'saving playlists' - I guess you could try exporting them into a separate file and then reimporting them later, although who knows if that would work? Right now I'm trying to rebuild them from my ipod. Good luck.

I would like to downgrade to the older version of the Adobe Shape App Version 1.2.0. Can I please be provided with a link in order to download the older version?

I would like to be provided with a download for the older version of adobe shape 1.2.0 please!

If you've been backing up to your local iTunes library, check your APPS pane to see if you have an older version of Shape stored locally. If you do, you can delete Shape from your phone, connect your phone to your computer, and drag the older version from your iTunes library onto your device. That's what I did to go back to the older version, which produced shapes that work much better for my purposes.
Adobe, it seems like with the newest version of Shape, you made DRASTIC changes to the way the app processes images into shapes. Is there any way for us to opt for the older version of processing? Or to toggle between the two?

ITunes Library cannot be read after downgrading to an older version

I had iTunes 7.8 and everything worked perfect. I kept getting informed of an updated iTunes 8.2 so i upgraded. then whenever i would plug my iPod in it wouldnt recognize it and asked to erase all the songs off my iPod. Everytime, i clicked No. but one day, i kept my iPod plugged in for a long time and left the computer and when i came back all the songs had been erased from it. Then i plugged it in again and the new iTunes wouldnt even recognize my iPod or show it in on the left sided menu, BUT it was recognized by my laptop when i looked for it in Finder. So i called Apple and they told me to uninstall the new iTunes and download the one i had previously. I did so and now im back with 7.8. However, now when i try to open iTunes it immediately says "The File 'iTunes Library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". I know i have all the music files still on my computer under the iTunes folder. But, when i click on File under iTunes to try to import my library, nothing can be clicked. None of the drop down menus have options that are accessible. Can anybody please help?

I removed 8.1.1 and downloaded 8.0.1. Same problems with the library as the top of this thread. Here's my situation now:
If I install and launch 8.1.1, instant beachball, totally unresponsive to the mouse, nada. In other words, I can't get to preferences or try any of the other fixes suggested here and elsewhere in the ton of 8.1.1 complaints on the board. Only a force quit will get me out of there. So I can't even get the program running.
If I install and launch 8.0.1, after a few seconds I get an alert that iTunes can't read the library because it was created with a newer version. Click OK and it just aborts the launch. In other words, I also can't get into the iTunes window and try things.
So I'm screwed either way. My iPods still work, but iTunes is totally disabled. I could try renaming the most recent library and moving it to the other folder, but that would lose voice memo recordings that were uploaded to iTunes just prior to the corruption and after the 8.1.1 upgrade. It also obviously prevents me from adding to the library.

New version possibly did not completely uninstall older version?

On my computer (Running Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.12) I noticed in my add/remove programs, two instances of Firefox (the extra being for 3.6.3), so I switch from the limited user I run as generally to the administrator account to uninstall the old version, but I find that in the add/remove programs panel in the administrator account there is only one version listed and it's the older version (3.6.3). So I open up Firefox in the admin account to check the version, and find it's the new version that runs, but for some reason it does not show up in add/remove programs when using the admin account. I want to uninstall the old version but I am afraid that since it is the only version listed in the add/remove programs panel in the admin account that it will delete the new version too with all my bookmarks and add-ons and settings and whitelists. This fear is further noted when I try to uninstall the older version as a test and it prompts me to close the running instance of the newer version of Firefox.
What is happening here? Can I delete the old version without messing up the new one? Why can't the admin account's add/remove program panel see the new version, but the limited user's one can?

You most likely only have that old entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox left. It happens more often that the updater leaves old entries in the "CurrentVersion\Uninstall" registry key. If you are comfortable with editing the registry then you can remove that key or just change the name to the current version. Otherwise just leave it as is to avoid problems or uninstall and reinstall Firefox.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by an uninstall and reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Downgrade to an earlier version

I'm having trouble with the "bugs" in version six. The workarounds haven't solved them. Is it possible to downgrade to an earlier version such as 2 or 3?
A friend doing similar work has version 3 and doesn't have the issues I do.
Thanks.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm with you, Dale. iMovie 6.0 is the worst! I have wasted a lot for time trying to import photos, do voiceovers and even save. Cannot do voiceovers (click the red button and it takes 1-4 minutes to start recording), photos are fuzzy & Ken Burns effect does not work, and takes forever to save. Don't even think about emptying the trash! I learned iMovie 5.0 on my iMac G5 but iMovie 6.0 ***** on my dual 2.7 G5 wit h2 gigs of ram and lots of HD space. I may fire up the iMac just to do this one project, but I'd need to import 2 hours of clips again and add over 2000 photos to iPhoto 5.0. No happy solution...

Is it possible to bypass "Old Version of Java Requested" error message?

At my organization, we have a number of applications which request an older version of Java, but work just fine in the latest version of Java 7. This prompt coming up confuses our users, and I'd like to disable it administratively. Is this possible?

Did you try the Undo button at the top of the document? If you tried that and had no success, I'm afraid that the sheet is gone. There is no trash can from which you can remove files on the iPad.

Re: Downgrading Oct 16, 2012 2:57 PM (in response to nbabbit2013)
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

Is it possible to downgrade to 10.5.5 with the combo updater?

I'm one of the lucky people who no longer have firewire after the 10.5.6 update. I was wondering if it was possible to downgrade to 10.5.5 using the combo updater? There weren't any issues prior to the update and now I can't access my peripherals in OS X. I have boot camp installed and everything works in windows. Also, I've tested the drive on my PowerBook (which still runs Tiger) and everything works fine (DiskWarrior and Disk Utility don't detect any problems). I've re-applied 10.5.6 using the combo updater and I've reset the PRAM, to no avail. At this point I'm fairly certain it's a 10.5.6 issue. So, is it possible to downgrade to 10.5.5?

no. there are no downgrade options in OS X. 10.5.5 combo update will refuse to install if you try. if you don't have a 10.5.5 backup the only way to get back to 10.5.5 is to do an archive and install and then upgrade to 10.5.5 using 10.5.5 combo update.

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.
