i updated my computer to the OS X Mavericks, but how do i delete this upgrade?

The only way to go backwards is to erase your hard drive and reinstall the OS that you want to go back to.  The easiest way to do this would be to restore from a back-up that you, hopefully, made before the upgrade.  Don't have a back-up?  Then back up your files, first, so you can migrate them back once you've reinstalled the OS.

    You are logging in iCloud for the first time. In this case, first you need to log in iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
    If you have not got a device to set iCloud up, you cannot use it. You can only use iCloud on your PC if you have got an Apple device

    I have two computers (1 PC and 1 iMac) and one iphone, the PC and the iphone are synchronized but I cannot copy or sync the contents to the iMac. How can I copy the contents? Can I connect the PC to the iMac so that I can use the PC as a hard-disk? Will that affect the system to work smoothly?
    Thanks

  • I'm unable to update iPhoto and iMovie since I downloaded Maverick. How can I solve this?

    I have been trying to download iMovie (currently 10.0.4) and iPhoto (currently 9.5.1) but the Apple Store never lets me do so. I am currently outside the U.S., where I purchased my laptop and I wonder how can I solve this. Thanks in advance for any help!
    Here are the error messages:
    I don't have any other Apple ID.
    This laptop only has one user, and the software was included in the original purchase (so, no refund possible).
    I tried many times.

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
              Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

  • Every time I update firefox for Win7, the taskbar icon disappears. How can I stop this from happening?

    The question pretty much says it all. For the record, no desktop icon is installed either.

    Most running programs have an icon on the taskbar, and Firefox is no exception. So in order to pin Firefox to the taskbar manually, first you have to launch Firefox from the Start Menu.
    You can also open Windows Explorer and navigate to the installation folder, then right-click ''firefox.exe'' and choose "Pin to taskbar".
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    I don't know why you lose your pinned icon when updating. But I do know that Firefox pins itself to the taskbar when installing, provided you've accepted to make it your default browser. If you get rid of the automatically created shortcut and create one manually, I'm hoping that one won't be affected.

  • If you right-click an image you can select to "Block Images" from the site, but how do you reverse this choice?

    If you right-click an image on a web page you can select to
    "Block Images from [the url of the site]".
    This works well, particularly to make the page printer-friendly, but how do you reverse this choice to see the images again?

    You can see all permissions for the current page in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
    If it is from a different domain then use this:
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it.  When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

    I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it.  When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1"  When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list.  If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application".  I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store.  Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store.  Please try again".  Just want to know how do to fix.

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • I updated my computer to the mavericks and now my iPhoto won't work

    I updated my computer to the mavericks and now my iPhoto won't work. And when I go to update iphoto, it says it cant be downloaded onto my computer.

    Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

  • I want to update my computer to the newest software version

    I want to update my computer to the newest software version I have 10.6.8 but I am not sure if all of my files will delete. What will happen if I update?

    With any update/upgrade you should always do a back up first.
    If you have files that have been done on a Clssic Mac platform, they need Rosetta to run, this only runs on SL.
    So consider that, also some older versions of iWork...have some issues as well.
    But your machine should be able to run Mavs.
    Here are the system Specs:

    I have upgraded my computer to program the MAC OS X but would like to remove this update and revert to the old one. Is this possible and how do I proceed?

    Not easily, unless you backed up your data.
    Did you?  If not, let that be a lesson to never install anything without a backup:

  • I had Partitioned my Macintosh HD, so now it has two, Macintosh HD and Macinyosh HD 2, but the question is, my computer has an minor update OS X 10.8.2 to 10.8.3, i wan to move all the files as BACKUP to the Macintosh HD 2, but how? Thanks.

    I had Partitioned my Macintosh HD, so now it has two, Macintosh HD and Macinyosh HD 2, but the question is, my computer has an minor update OS X 10.8.2 to 10.8.3, i wan to move all the files as BACKUP to the Macintosh HD 2, but how? Thanks.

    As long as the Macintosh HD 2 partition is just the same size as Macintosh HD to avoid problems in the future, then you can clone one to the other using Carbon Copy Cloner, then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions on both and if you need too you can hold the option key down while booting and select the #2 partition to boot from.
    However you need to set CCC to maintain a pure clone, or else by default it will save the changes between clone updates and overfill your #2 partition.
    Also the #2 is merely a bootable backup alternative and for retrieving the rarely occuring deleted files, don't use #2 for storage or anything you want to save pernamently.
    In addition you also need external clones and backups, as the machine may fail or get lost etc.,
    Most commonly used backup methods

    I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

    The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
    I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.
