I do update at Maverick, I want to do downgrade at Mountain Lion. How can I do that?

Hi I have a problem! I have a MBP 15 mid 2013, i7, 2.6 GHz and I do update at Maverick, I want to do downgrade at Mountain Lion because i think my mbp moves more slowly. How can I do that?

Not that easily. There is a very helpful user tip by ds store to assist you if you wish to do so:

    Thinking of upgrading to Yosemite -  but want to be able to downgrade to mountain lion - How?
    Hi all.
    I am wondering if I upgrade to Yosemite is there a way that I will be able to downgrade / revert back to mountain lion if I find out that too many of my most essential applications  are no longer working?
    I have read there have been compatibility issues  between some of my most necessary / favourite applications I use in mountain lion and Mavericks,  which is why I never upgraded to Mavericks.
    However , I am noticing in the app store there are a lot of apps I am interested in which I no longer able to purchase / download because they require Yosemite, and mountain lion is out-dated.
    However, if I upgrade my OS, I am afraid of incompatibility with the most important apps in my workflow though.
    Thanks.

    Hi Arthur thank you very much for your response.
    Sorry for my late reply.
    My following question is summed up in the last sentence of this post.
    [is only one time machine backup possible per external backup hard drive? Or can I make separate Time Machine backups for separate purposes?]
    I went ahead and installed Yosemite.
    There are some things I like about Yosemite and I might trial it for a little bit longer,
    but after a couple of days of trials and trying out, I've decided that I think I generally prefer mountain lion better,
    and I will reinstall it , and get a disk image of Yosemite and run that as a Virtual Machine when I need it.
    [^ This is what I should have done in the first place.]
    Before I installed Yosemite I [stupidly] used Time machine to back up only my application folders / application support / general system files,
    [I used system preferences to exclude everything else in the TM backup] so that I would not have to reinstall my applications / essential system structures.
    I did not back up the rest of my files and folders / whole machine though.
    I should have done this.
    I just didn't want to wait for about 800 gb of data to transfer [impatient].
    [in retrospect I should have run Yosemite through a virtual machine within Mountain Lion to see if I liked it before installing it completely].
    With Yosemite installed would I be able to make a SEPARATE time machine backup of all my files / documents / media folders in Time Machine on Yosemite, and use this to re-install these on Mountain lion if I downgrade ?
    Or is only one time machine backup possible per external backup hard drive ?
    Thanks.

    my iphone5s head phones got mixed up with my room mates headphones and i really want to know witch one is mine how can i know that please help !

    I doubt there is you dropped it and broken the screen
    try holding the top button and the round button at bottom of screen
    hold both until maybe an Apple logo appears if nothing after 20 secs
    the iPad is toast
    It can be exchanged at an apple store for around $249 to $219 depending on model
    Apple do not do repairs
    I would own up now before it gets more complicated

  • I want my macbook pro in factory settings, how can i do that?

    I want my macbook pro in factory settings, how can i do that?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    For earlier versions of OS X:
    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • HT1338 I just installed OSX snow leapord and just want to be able to use icloud.  I up--graded my old macbook to 2 gigs and still can't get it to download icloud .  would go to osx mountain lion but can't do that either.  What do I have to do???

    I want to use icloud to sync w/my new apple tv.  bought osx snow leopard and installed it plus upgraded to 2 gigs memory for my
    old (2007) macbook.  still won't work. I need to get to at least osx 10.7.4 or to osx mountain lion.  Tried everything and can't get there.
    I'm not a computer whiz...quite a novice.  so, if you can help; please speak in layman language....ha   Thanks

    iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    I think what this chap wants is to remove the DP version of Facebook Integration. I also have Facebook Integration installed (it's a DP4 version). I would also want to know how on earth do I remove it, because there's no uninstaller package for it.
    You'll likely need to read up on forums hosted by the developer which provided your preview copy of OSX.  There are very few here using DP versions of OSX.
    You may need to wait until FB integration is officially released.

    One song at a time.  Open the Wish List, and click on the price for the song.
    (Older versions of iTunes had a Buy All button to allow purchasing the whole list at once, but that feature is no longer there.)

  • I converted a 6 page document to a PDF file but I want to only send page 1.  How can I do that?

    I downloaded a document from a website into a PDF file.  It was a 6 page document, but I want to only send page 1 of the document.  I don't know how or if it can be done.

    Larry,
        There is more ways than one to do that. I've been extracting a lot of pages lately so that is why I gave you that method. Also, you need to have Acrobat pro to extract pages this way.
        But here is another method which should do the same thing hopefully.
        Follow the same instructions as the last post I gave you. Get the navigation index up that shows all the 6 pages. Right click on the page that you want to extract. Then click Print. You will then get a Print Box with options. At the top there should be a box that says printer. Use the down arrow on the right side of that box to scroll down to the option that says PDF. Then click the print button that will probably be at the bottom right. This will not print the page. It will extract the document and put it on the screen. Then do file save as and name the document something and put in in a place you will find it and then send it by email.

  • I have OS X, vers. 10.6.8.  I want to use the icloud, but I don't want to get Mountain Lion.  Can Ido this?

    I have OSX, vers. 10.5.8.  I want to use the Cloud, but I don't want Mountain Lion.  Can I do that?

    You cannot access iCloud with 10.6.8. If your computer supports it you could upgrade to Lion - you can obtain it by ringing the online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page. The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    If you don't want Mountain Lion you probably won't want Lion either (of the two Mountain Lion is probably preferable) but it's either that, or stick with 10.6.8 and no iCloud.

    Hi galleryskins,
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Zoom content on the screen
    Zoom with a mouse or trackpad
    To zoom in and out, hold down the modifier key you specified while you perform the scroll gesture.
    For example, if you have a trackpad and used the default settings, zoom in by holding down the Control (^) key while you drag two fingers up on the trackpad. Zoom out by holding down the Control key while you drag two fingers down on the trackpad.
    If you chose Picture-in-picture zooming, a window appears near the mouse cursor with the magnified image. If you chose Fullscreen zooming, the entire screen displays the magnified image.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • I want to transfer a video from my PC to my iPad. How can I do that?

    I own an iPad 3 and a Windows PC. I have a video on my PC that i want to transfer to my iPad. How can I do that? From iTunes, I know.. but where in iTunes?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
