How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you may need from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • TS2951 I installed Maverick on my computer cause it kept asking as an update don't like it how can i go back of what I use to have

    I Installed Maverick on my computer cause it kept asking me as an update to the computer I dont like it and if i do something on my I Pad it happens on my computer to how can go back

    Hopefully you made a backup.
    This is what I had to do to rever to Snow Leopard from Mavericks:
    make an appointment with a genius at an Apple Store
    they had to do a deep wipe (not the exact correct term, but deep was part of it) of my iMac, then reinstall Snow Leopard over top of it.  We tried to restore from backup during the install process, and ended up in a total mess.  So we had to start over and do another deep wipe, then they reinstalled Snow Leopard for me.
    You need to bring some proof that you own Snow Leopard with you, then they will install it for free (and do it much faster than you can, because they install the latest version straight away

    All we can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • I READ A LOT OF BAD ABOUT THE NEW O.S. IF I DON'T LIKE IT HOW DO I GO BACK TO 10.8.5  I AM COMPETENT BUT NOT A SUPERGEEK OR EVEN A PRO SO K.I.S.S. WOULD BE GOOD

    Make a bootable backup of your current system before upgrading or make a new partition on your hard drive and install the new OS on the new volume. Now two more things for someone who believes they are competent:
    1. Don't believe everything you read on these forums. Only users with problems post here. Millions of other users don't post here because they manage not to have problems.
    2. Don't use all CAPS. That is considered shouting. Shouting is bad netiquette. Please use mixed case.

  • My Safari doesn't work properly after installing Lion.  Don't like it, how can I uninstall? (Cloud not worth it)?

    I upgraded ti Lion 10.7.2 for icloud but it's causing other problems with my mac.  My Safari doesn't work properly anymore.  Wishing I didn't upgrade, anyone know how to fix this or do i just have to uninstall?  Thanks,

    Wipe the drive clean and install Snow Leopard from your install disk.
    Might be less work fixing Safari. Try Resetting Safari.

  • How Can I Get Back To Tiger?

    I have installed Leopard onto my macbook and I've had many issues with it whereas with Tiger, I had practically never had one snag. Since I uprgraded to Leopard, my computer has:
    Frozen
    My keyboard has been unresponsive at times
    Internet loading has been slow
    I've had to restart for no reason and there has been a general lag in programs functioning correctly.
    What are my options to getting Tiger back on (free hopefully)?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If your hard drive has become overfull (over 85% full as has been arbitrarily found), the symptoms you are getting are not surprising. Simply clearing your hard drive of unessential files may get you backup up and running*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
    (corrected address in edit)
    If you can't boot that hard drive, and are using no third party peripherals, I suggest getting a Firewire external hard drive from http://www.macsales.com/ with its own source of power, and install Tiger on it. That way you can clean up the contents you don't need while booting off that drive. Since it is a MacBook, you'll need to use the original MacBook installer disks to install Tiger, if you didn't clone backup Tiger before you installed Leopard. If you lost the original MacBook installer disks, call AppleCare for replacement disks. The retail Tiger disks will not work on a MacBook.

  • Since upgrading to 8.0 I can no longer print from Mapquest Classic. I an from IE. How can I fix that? ALSO I don't like the new layout. How can I go back to my pervious version?

    Since upgrading to 8.0 I can no longer print from Mapquest Classic. It's not a Mapquest problem it's a Firefox problem as I am able to print using IE. I haven't encountered any other sites problems yet but I'm sure it's to come if I don't get this fixed. I need to be able to print. How can I fix this?
    I also do not like the new layout. How can I go back to my previous version?

    What precisely do you mean by deleting the podcast app from both the phone and Mac? I have deleted the podcast app from my phone but on my Mac in iTunes->iPhone->Apps it shows up albeit with a button labelled "Install". I've resynced 3 times and when I try to access my Podcast playlist in the Music app, I still get a message telling me that podcasts have moved to the Podcast app. I'm really sick of some of the changes Apple  has made to their software.

    having a query like that who has done the Transport? How can i trace who has done the transport (Import).

    1. Go to TMS and disply the appropriate queue.
    2. Select menu path: Goto>Import History.
    3. Select menu path: Edit> Dipaly More.
    4. This will give the the "User" column.
    But my problem is the transport has happened long back. is there any other way to find out old import request who has done the transport.
    Please someone help me out on this.

    Do this may it can help you.
    At the last step where you had given "diaplay more"
    do this inspite of that:
    Extras --> Personal Settings
    Check the option "Query Interval Time" and try again.
    Best of luck !!!

  • Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
    You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

  • My children just got iPods touch. I registered them on my account so they can have acces to my I tunes Acc. Now they have all my list of contacts receive my messages have my music my pics, things that they don't want. How can I fix this.

    My children just got iPods touch. I registered them on my account so they can have acces to my I tunes Acc. Now they have all my list of contacts receive my messages have my music my pics, also when they install an app like pandora they have all my stations, things that they don't want. How can I fix this.

    As for iMessage, you do  Settings -> Messages (scroll down) -> where it says iMessage, turn the switch to off.
    As for pictures, you do Settings -> iCloud -> Photo Stream -> My Photo Stream -> turn switch off.
    As for apps, you do Settings -> iTunes & App Stores (scroll down alot) -> Music, Apps, Books are all swtiched off.
    If you want to the delete the music, you go onto the music app and slide your finger from right to left on the song.

  • HT4623 one day before,i update my iphone5 system,but i really don't like the operation,i want change back to ios6.1.4,what can i do?

    one day before,i update my iphone5 system,but i really don't like the operation,i want change back to ios6.1.4,what can i do?

    OK, I downloaded the utility, but during the installation process I was advised to shut down Outlook, or restart it after installation. I immediately cancelled the installation. Obviously, this thing is going to muck about with Outlook. I don't want anything to be touching or looking at any of my installed program unless I tell it too AFTER I fully understand what it is doing and how to reverse the whole process in case it gets mucked up.
    I looked for a manual or some sort of documentation on the configuration utility, but there does not seem to be any.
    Anyone have a link to program documentation for
    iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6.2  for Windows?
    I find it incredilble that there does not seem to be a stand alone, plug the usb cable in, and make a back up (system image) of an iPhone. After all, the thing seems to be hand held computer. Why not have a simple back up utility? Even the newer phones only have, what, a few GB. Lots of images would fit on an outboard TB disk.
    Then if every thing gets FUBAR, simply restore the phone the the last working image.
    Does no one keep controled squential backups of iPhones and iPads like you should do with any other computer, workstation or laptop that is a serious business tool?
    iTunes for back-up. Does and business seriously do that?
    iCloud? I'd be fired if the boss caught me putting client contact information on 'the cloud' or anything outside my secured hard drives. (Unless we have a specific paid contract for services).
    My company does not even allow wifi in the office. Security begins with a hard wired connection.
    sigh....
