I'm fed up with Leopard. How can I downgrade to Tiger?

E.g. with Mail.app a.o.?
Thank you very much
Peter

Like a previous post said, what issues are you having with what hardware etc..
I have only just upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5 and then 10.5.1, then the security upgrades etc.
I was expecting a nightmare, but only had one issue, Main menu stopped working properly. We are on a .1 release, there will be issues, but they probably won't affect many people.
Do you use Quicksilver or other tools that tie in closely to the OS?
Did you do an Upgrade or an archive and install?
What widgets are you having issues with, were they written by Apple or a third party?
I work mainly with PC's, and I know of far more issues with Vista, still!
You try telling a customer that they need to wipe and reinstall their 2 month old Vista install, all because they installed an XP printer driver that keeps crashing their print spooler.
How about the 2 hour reinstall with all the work involved in getting their data back to where it should be.
Do a clone of your drive, remove any dubious third party software, Archive and reinstall and try again.
10.4 was very stable, but then again it was on it's 11th update.

How can I downgrade to Tiger after Leopard install on an iBook G4?

I am getting rid of my old iBook G4 and want to downgrade to Tiger for the new owner. I have no files that I need on the iBook so I just need help doing a clean restore and install of 10.4. The problem is, when I boot off the install disk, I get a kernal error which include the words "panic" and "hanging". It fails to let me boot off of my 10.4 install discs (which are the original ones that came with the machine, not a copy).

Use the one that came with the iBook. Does it have the Apple Hardware Test program on it? It might be a separate disk. If you have it, see if it'll boot the machine. If so, run the extended tests. One other thing you can try is reset the PRAM as detailed in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

How to revert your Mac to Snow Leopard

How can I Downgrade to Snow Leopard and keeping all 3rd party apps?

New to MacBookPro and really happy. With Lion...not so much. I want to downgrade to SL, however, apparently I must reformat the hard drive. Here´s the real question: If I have a backup of my entire HD with the user, docs and all the apps I have installed (on Lion), once I downgrade to Snow Leopard, can I just move all my apps from the back up disk I have made of my Lion-Running hard drive? In other words, How can I downgrade without having to reinstall every single third party app I have?

First, how new is this Mac? A Mac as a rule cannot boot to an older operating system version than that with which it was originally supplied. In other words, if this is a new MBP that came with Lion then you probably cannot get it to boot to SL.
Some applications (and I take it you do mean full "applications" rather than "apps" which are mobile device programs -- it helps to be clear o terminology) can just be dragged from place to place. Others, notably Adobe and Office, install things all over the place and unless you are good at finding hidden files with obscure names in 10 different places you will just have to re-install them.

HT1604 i erased my hfs+ with ubuntu, how can I format it back to hfs+ please help

i erased my hfs+ with ubuntu, how can I format it back to hfs+ because ubuntu rejects the cd or usb formatted to mac os extended journaled and i am in a stalemate position. What can i do?

You're running Ubuntu, and that operating system generally doesn't utilize HFS+.
That you're then asking this question implies you were intending to not do that, or that you were intending to run multiple operating systems within one GPT-partitioned disk.
I'm going to guess you wanted multiple operating systems.
If you had intended to partition your disk and to use various file systems within the partitioning, then the command(s) that were used to partition or repartition your disk were not what was probably intended. (And this presumes that the two systems share compatible boot paths; that's possible with a system that can coexist within Apple's Boot Camp or Ubuntu or another operating system booted as a guest within one of the add-on OS X virtual machine products. I don't know for certain that Ubuntu can coexist.)
To get OS X back onto this same volume, you'll need to figure out if you have a GPT and then what's in your GPT, and whether there's a partition large enough for OS X to exist, or whether you can repartition your GPT disk to allow OS X to be reinstalled or reloaded into the partition. Or you'll need to wipe the whole disk, and replace its contents with a freshly-partitioned disk, and then load a copy of OS X that's been recovered from backup or freshly installed from distribution. Or you'll need to provide another disk, and then partition and load an operating system (either Ubuntu or OS X) onto that as appropriate.
The tools for doing the repartitioning within Ubuntu are best discussed with folks more familiar with that operating system; I'm not sufficiently conversant to suggest tools for that. I'd suggest a forum specific to Ubuntu for that. The tools used to repartition the disks on OS X generally involve the Disk Utility tool, whether booted from DVD (Snow Leopard), from the USB key disk (Lion), from an external OS X disk, or potentially using Target Disk Mode from another OS X system. And the OS X tools for repartitioning are destructive; they generally don't save what's in the existing partitions, if you need to make an existing partition smaller.
The usual sequence (and the one that's easiest to describe) to establish the environment starts by wiping the whole disk, and establishing GPT partitions of the appropirate sizes using Disk Utility or its Ubuntu GPT-aware analog, and then loading the target operating systems into each. Alternatively, you can read the Boot Campe documentation, or review the documentation with the particular virtual machine product that you're going to choose and use on OS X for details of how to manage its guest operating systems.
Without some idea of your end-goal here (and where you're stuck in the current environment), it's hard to provide more specific suggestions.

i have a htc wildfire, and if i try to install firefox from android market place it says that my device is not compatible with firefox. how can i install it ?

According to a random website... the HTC Wildfire S uses a Qualcomm MSM7225 processor. This processor unfortunately does not support the full ARM version 7 instruction set, so Firefox cannot run on it.

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.

What version of iTunes are you running on your computer? You need to update to the current version.

You are going to need to go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve your iCloud/Apple ID. Once you know your ID, you can log onto Apple - My Apple ID and click on Reset Password to answer the Security Questions you will need to answer. If you don't remember the answers, you will have to contact Apple Support to have them reset: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
