I have just updated the software on my pad to ios7. Big mistake. It is ugly and unpleasant to use. Also, on safari there are icons which I have no wish to use, but can't get rid of. Can I revert to the previous operating system?
I have just updated the operating system on my ipad2 to iso7. Big mistake. It is ugly and unpleasant to use, and the Safari element comes loaded with icons I will not be using, but can't seem to get rid of. Does anybody know how to change the operating system back to the previous one?
Thanks.
Firstly, the icons when you load safari are your bookmarks in the favourite section. To remove them you can simply either delete them or move them to another bookmark folder. To access your bookmarks tap the blue book in the top right corner and then go through to bookmarks and select and edit from there, goodluck :)

How can I revert to a previous operating system on my Ipad

Have you checked to see if they have updated their app or are planning to do so?

I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.
I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff. -
IOS 8.3 uses too much battery power. Can I remove it and go back to the previous operating system?
Downgrading is not supported.
As a test, restore as a new phone, not from a backup, and see if the battery life is better. You can restore from a backup after your test. -

I have just downloaded the latest operating system onto my 4S. I now can't get notifications on Whatsapp or Viber. Message says to connect to itunes but I can't seem to make it work. Any suggestions?
You need iTunes version 11 for iOS 7.
iTunes version 11 requires OS X 10.6.8 or later...
Click on the Apple icon.. Top left in Finder...

How do I get rid of Maverick on my computer and revert to the previous operating system? This update has nearly ruined my iMac destroying its speed, efficiency and flexibility.
If restoring to the previous state from backup isn't an option (hopefully it is), it may be easier to try to resolve what is causing problems. It's possible that some incompatible software you have installed is messing with the smooth running of your Mac.
Can you describe more fully what problems you are experiencing? You could also run EtreCheck and post the contents of its report here - it may reveal the cause as there is some software 'out there' that is known to create problems: http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck -
Is Lion going to be offered on a disk similar to the previous operating systems where you can get a family pack? of like 5 instals?
You don't even need the family pack anymore! Just use the same Apple ID to connect to the App Store on each computer and upgrade... pay for it once and you can use it multiple times. According to the Lion page on www.apple.com, this is intended, and...
According to the App Store OS X Lion 10.7 License Agreement Section 2 Paragraph B:
B. License from Mac App Store. If you obtained a license for the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http://apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) ("Usage Rules"), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:
( i ) to download, install, use and run for personal non-commercial use one (1) copy of the Apple Softward directly on EACH Apple-branded computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopard or OS X Snow Leopard Server ("Mac Computer") that you own or control;
et al.
This means that you can buy OS X Lion with your Apple ID, and any Mac you own (or have control over) that is legally defined by the license agreement can be connected by the same Apple ID and upgraded.

I cannot get the wifi feature on my iphone to switch on. I have just uploaded the latest Operating system but nothing has changed. I have reset, again no change. Any ideas?
If you have an iTunes backup that includes the photos you may be able to extract them from the backup using a 3rd party utility such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

I just downloaded the latest operating system to my IPad and now cannot access Angry Birds Friends from Facebook. Any solutions?
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Will reinstalling Lion via the Lion recovery partition cause you to loose all of your applications, documents, etc or does it just replace the Lion operating system and leave everything else untouched?
The latter. I cant tell you how many times I've reinstalled lion! all your apps will be fine!
Things that will change are system graphics if you altered them with something like candybar or did it manually.
Having said that, you should always backup your stuff with time machine incase something does happen.
This is a very important step which will insure the safety of your files while doing things like updating or installing the OS.
Please exercise caution when doing things with a Hard Drive. -
I own an iPhone 4S and have installed ios8. Subsequently none of my apps will work. How do I uninstall and go back to the previous operating system?
Good luck at the Genius bar.
I have figured out that if I do a hard restart of the phone the apps will work for a time, but then they begin to all freeze up again after a short time.
This may be a problem of not enough free storage. Have you checked the storage used by your apps?
Go to Settings > General > Usage -
Yosemite looks like a downgrade, flat, childish and no more ability to make the view of anything personal. How do I go back to the previous operating system?
Erase your hard drive using Disk Utility from the Recovery HD, then restore your old system from your backups.

I just downloaded the new operating syaytem and all my apps are STUCK in the app store . I can open them in the app store but can NOT creat icons with them only open them
If they are in your iTunes library, sync them back to your phone. If not, restore your iCloud backup. If you don't have one, you'll have to redownload them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 (however this will not restore your app data).

My Mac OS X 10.9.2 is unable to read any disc since I updated the operating system to Marverick a few months back. How can i resolve this problem because I need to retrieve very important information on my discs. Help! Thank you... paul
Paul,
Your problem has nothign to do with your installation of Mavericks. I assume you are referring to your SuperDrive not being able to read any discs, is that correct? If so then please advise what troubleshooting steps you have taken?
