I need to download 10.7.0 (10.7.2 max), where does Apple keep earlier versions of OS?

i foolishly updated my MacPro and laptop to 10.7.3, but then discovered that it messed up some of my Pro apps like Nikon Capture NX2, which is only supposed to work on 10.7.2
i have been trying to find anyway to go back, and was informed that i had to erase and start from the OS that came with my mac
so i went back to 10.6.4, and have now updated to 10.6.8
then went to the App Store in order to update to 10.7.0, which i had already bought
but the App Store only offers me 10.7.3, and no earlier versions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where can i get 10.7.0?
(i have the combo update which is available on the downloads of Apple website, but this is obviously no good without the base 10.7 already installed)
this appears to be a problem that Apple has created by not selling OS on discs anymore
HELP!!!!

since i am at present on 10.6.8 surely i can update to 10.7.0 and then to 10.7.2?
i had already worked out that i could not go backwards from 10.7.3 when i went into an Apple store yesterday, so i am trying to go forward, but it seems quite odd that i can not upgrade to 10.7.2 ONLY since some apps do not work with 10.7.3
and i DID HAVE a backup iof 10.7.2 when i backed up, but once i was on that there did not seem to be a problem, so i updated my backup to 10.7.3 - are you saying that the backup should always be an OS step behind the master? (in which case what about all the new work that one does in between backups, there would be no backups of that at all!)
I have always made a habit of keeping system updates on external drives, just for my own OCD ways. I downloaded Lion 10.7 and have also kept the updates since. I also have backups of the last few system updates, but do get rid of them after I realise the newer updated backups are all I require.
So where did I learn about backups and saving updates? By reading Apple Media and coming to the forum here and elsewhere and reading up on it. The serious Computer user should really make a concerted effort to protect their data and system set ups in the most secure way they can. An $80 1TB backup drive can be the difference between smooth transitions and reinstalls and problems as you are experiencing now.
Just some food for thought for the future. There is more often than not no second chances for system and drive crashes. Protect your data at all costs.
Good Luck

I need to download an Application from a Trusted source, but not an apple source.

I need to download an application from a trusted source, but not an apple source. Application is apparently downloads, but the computer will not open it. I have turned off my fire wall. I should press control and then the app which should be in the applications folder. It does not appear to be in that folder.

Is there any need to download and install LR5 CC if I already have LR5.2 full standalone version?

I have just purchased the Creative Cloud for photographers package, on offer @ $9.99 (£8.78) at the moment. I am an existing CS6 Premium customer which as you know includes Photoshop CS6 extended. I have downloaded and installed the CC versions of Photoshop and Bridge. On the face of it, LR5 and LR5 CC look to be exactly the same - I don't want to end up with duplicated LR catalogs, so I am hoping someone who is fully familiar with the CC ramifications can clarify this and hoipefully confirm that I don't need to install LR5 CC..
As an aside, I have had to re-download an updated version of onOne's Perfect Photosuite (7.5.1), as my existing copy of Perfect Photosuite 7.5 didn't appear in 'File > Automate in PS CC.

Thanks very much for your reply. I will certainly use LR6 CC when it comes out - I'm pleased it isn't necessary at the moment to run both at the same time. Enough on my plate getting Photoshop CC to replicate my PS CS6 with plug-ins set up, and then there's Behance to get to grips with too!
I'd like to say that I think the Photographer's package is a great deal - it's good to see Adobe listened to what a lot of photographers were asking for!

I need to download Quicktime 7.0.3 and iTunes 6, where are they?

I am having big problems with Quicktime 7.1.3 and I just want to go back to using 7.0.3 with iTunes 6. Can anybody tell me where to download these from on the Apple website, or anywhere else for that matter, I can't see them.
Annoyingly I can't find the installation disc that came with my ipod either.

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/
I believe it has the Quicktime 7.0.1 reinstaller link and the 7.1.2 update there.

Hi, can someone tell me what exactly is QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg? its an installer file i need for downloading the QuickTime Mpeg-2 Playback Component. Where exactly can I find this as well?

hi, can someone tell me what exactly is QuickTimeMpeg2.dmg? Its some kind of installer file for downloading QuickTime Mpeg-2 Playbaack Component but I don't know where exactly to find it or how to get it on my mac?

Hello,

If you want it on your Mac, not sure it works or not in your OS version.
Then double click on the DMG, that'll mount the disk image, in that you'l likely see an installer .pkg to double click on to install.

I have an older airport express and my computer states that the air port utility version does not support it. Do I need to download an update? My Imac is from SEP of last year, the version with the optical drive

I have an older airport express. My airport utilities states that it does not support this base station. I am try ing to use the airport express in conjunction with a base station to air play my itunes library in another room. I have mountain lion on my Imac (purchased new in SEP of last year. My Imac was the last issued with an internal dvd drive.

Unfortunately, Apple discontinued support of the older AirPort base stations with the introduction of Lion and Mountain Lion.
You might be able to use a somewhat complicated workaround.....not supported by Apple.....if you want to try to use the older AirPort Express.

How do I re-activate my AVC Security and SKYPE since they were disabled by downloading FIREFOX 4.0??? Caan I return to an earlier version that I had prvious to FIREFOX 4.0?

Pls advise how I can return to a previous version of FIREFOX so that my AVC security and SKYPE sites can be re-activated. Tx.

In some cases, the incompatibility is due to the new HTML5 parser in Firefox 4. You could disable that and test whether the bank site works again.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).
Then reload the bank page and see whether it works.
And if you need it, here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

I have to use a recovery disk to fix my computer. Where does FF keep the login and passwords I use on a daily basis. I want to download and save them for reinstallation?

I am about to use a recovery disk to reset my computer to it's original factory settings and operating system. I want to download and save all of my Firefox bookmarks, website logins & passwords for the websites.
How can I do this and where is all the above located on my computer. I would like to copy them and then reinstall after the recovery disk operation is completed.

Firefox needs 32-bit plugins, so you'll need to install 32-bit Java for Firefox.
No, you can't change Firefox from 32-bt to 64-bit. There is a Nightly 64-bit version (alpha) of Firefox, but it is used only to test for regressions until development is resumed.

Need to locate my story files from a recovered HD. Where does Story keep my data locally?

I was working locally on an OSX machine and the OS corrupted the drive.
I was able to restore all my applications, and it looks like much of my data.
I am not sure if the OS is still intact on the drive, and I am not going to test that at this time. I need to secure my data first.
I need to do something very simple: find the work I was during with Story on this machine.
I mounted this drive on another OSX machine with Story, and opened my original install of Story (from the mounted, recovered HD) and instead of loading the work I had done on the recovered HD, it opened the work I was doing on the master system.
Where is my work? How can I access it?
Thank you for your time.

Rohit,
Thanks for the hands on user support.
I solved the problem the day after I posted this, but I thought I would update you.
I had to end up manually restoring the file structure of my HD and repairing the permissions so I could boot it up in environment that Story could recognize as the User that authored the files.
It turns out that doing that was far easier (it wasn't easy) than performing the most basic function of file managment with story: locating saved a work file.
I understand that story is designed to innovate the way scripts are socially available to collaborators, but it just seems backwards to not have basic functions like locale save instances.
I just sold my screenplay (awesome!) but sadly I will not be using story any further.
basic things like this simply arent possible with it: i shouldnt have to email a folder to a technician to extract work I did.
thanks for your time, though. take care.

I need to submit a 300 dpi image under 3 megabytes where does it tell me the megabyte size of the image

I need to adjust an image in photoshop that is 300 dpi and under 3 megabytes. Where in the image size window are the megabytes listed. What is the abbreviation for megabytes?

Tim,
In simple terms, the bootldr file is the helper file to load the IOS.
The BOOTLDR environment variable specifies the Flash file system and filename that contains the boot loader image required to load system software.
The variable defines the primary Cisco IOS image that will load the final image from another source.
we need to set the BOOTLDR environment variable to specify the Flash device and filename of the boot loader image.
For Old version of IOS, there is a requirement of boot loader image to boot up the IOS image.
But for the latest version of IOS, no need for boot loader image.
Below are few things happen when the device boots:-
1. The router initially boots into ROMMON (this is your bootstrap code, which you can see in the show version command).
2. Then the router loads into the bootloader code (this is the bootloadr code, which you see in show version). This bootloader code is just an intermediate step between the ROMMON mode and the IOS mode.
3. The router then boots into the IOS mode from the bootloadr mode.
So if you do not mention the bootloadr specifically by giving the "boot bootloadr" command, the router will assume the bootloadr to be in bootflash of the device and try to boot it from there. If you mention the "boot bootloadr flash:...." command, then the router will look for the bootloadr in the flash (instead of the bootflash). Thats the only difference.
However, in both cases, if you have a valid IOS to boot into, then the router will come up without a problem, irrespective of the fact whether bootloadr image is in bootflash or flash.

[SOLVED] where does pacman keep downloaded packages?

Stupid question, I know - but I seem to be having a tough time finding the docs or config that describes where pacman stores the downloaded packages during upgrades and installs.

Right on, thanks guys. I had even looked in /etc/pacman.conf and somehow still missed it... sheesh.

Where does apple tv download tv shows

if i purchase and download a tv show episonde on Apple TV, does it automatically download to my iTune account or to the Cloud?

I'm not saying I wouldn't download the content but it would be nice to be able to choose when to download it. I know you can pause all downloads then just redo each one, but if I recall this only works as long as iTunes is open. Once you close it, it will default to downloading all remaining content unless it's paused again. And again. And again. Not an issue if just buying one movie or a season pass at the start of a season and you just get an episode a week, but if buying an old season downloading 24 episodes at once is just madness - depending on your ISP of course.
I think a perfect solution would be that once you purchase in iTunes no download starts immediately. Just like buying on the ATV. You can then go to the purchased section in iTunes whenever you want to and download 'all' or one by one. Like you though I am starting to consider the pros and cons of not downloading (unless bought in iTunes when not downloading isn't an option) when weighed against the cost of repurchasing or losing the programme if it's removed from the store at some point.
This backup stuff though really gets me down sometimes. We're supposed to have the copy on our local disk, a backup on another local disk, a backup off-site and a backup in the cloud. With the cost of all that backup media I may as well just buy Blu-Ray/DVD boxsets!!
Just scanning the last sentence of your 2nd paragraph it brings to mind something that's bugged me for a while with iTunes. If you buy something from iTunes then have some sort of storage failure, if Apple have stopped selling it for some reason then you're out of luck, it's gone. I also use Audible, and even if a title is removed from sale you can still redownload your purchase at any time. I've done it actually. I wish Apple could have got those sort of sales rights for content.
Ah well, we can dream.
