I want to degrade to OSX 10.7 from Mavericks

I just yesterday updated my computer from OSX and I absolutely HATE it, I use wine bottler to run lots of important programs on my computer and I can't run any of them now. I do NOT have a backup from time machine.
Thank you!

Have you checked for an update for wine bottler so it is compatible with Mavericks?
If you do want to revert, better make a full and reliable backup as you will need to completely erase your drive in order to do what you want.

  • Revert back to osx mountain lion from mavericks?

    Since updating to osx mavericks I have encountered numerous issues with my multi display set up to the extent that I have decided to go back to mountain lion
    My question is how do I go about doing this as I have tried to go through the recovery but this only gives me the option to install mavericks
    I have daily back ups so data loss is not a threat and I understand that erasing the drive is the most likely option
    Any help  will be appreciated I need this fixed ASAP as I need the set up for audio & video editing work!!!

  • When I am re-installing the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older Mac I run into the window that says select the disk where you want to install Mac OSX but nothing is there to select

    I am trying to re-install the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older I mac with a new hard drive.  I run into the "select the disk "where you want to install Mac OSX but there is nothing in the window to select. Any advice?

    After you install a new hard drive, you need to boot to another drive to initialize it to MAC OS Extended (journaled) format and create the partition(s) on the drive. You do this using Disk Utility. Otherwise, the mac operating install process doesn't see a formatted disk to install to.

  • I want to update my OSX 10.6.8 to Yosemite.

    I want to update my OSX 10.6.8 to Yosemite. My MacBook 7.1 fits the requirements. But when I download 10.10.1, it says that 10.10 is required. Is there a way around this? I want all my MacBooks using 10.10.1 now. Thanks!

    Thanks, Ralph Landry11. That's what I get also. That's for the 10.10.1 upgrade.  See the version on the third line.
    That’s what you should download from the App Store.
    If you didn’t use the App Store, but instead used the Apple Downloads site, then you got the update, not the full installer.
    The full installer from the App Store will only be 10.10.1. The only version available in the App Store is the latest version.
    This is what you download:

  • I have a macbook 2.1 with osx10.6.8 and want to wipe it clean and migrate from my macbook pro with the same osx..is it possible to do?

    I have an older macbook 2.1 intel OSX 10.6.8 that I want to wipe clean and then migrate from my  macbbok pro with OSX10.6.8 to the older macbook, is it possible ,how would I do it..especially how do I wipe clean the older macbook?

    Connecting to a TV is no different than connecting to any other external display. It's possible that there's a problem with the mini dvi port on the macbook r that you have bad adapters. You might try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    Does the Macbook recognize that there's an external display connected when you look at the Display preference pane?

    HI ..
    The only way to reinstall OS X on a Mac already running v10.9 is to use OS X Recovery.
    Starrtup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and reinstall OS X.
    Please read >  OS X Recovery

  • HT4914 I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

    I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

    Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
    Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
    Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
    A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
    7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
    you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
    When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
    If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

  • Want to degrade project quality & force content to fit on a dual layer disk

    I have a project that is around 19 GB in size, according to my DVDSP 3 meter. I want to degrade the quality of the video and force it to fit on a dual layer disk. Is this possible? Or, should I send the project to Toast and compress it there, forcing it to fit?
    Here's a description of the project:
    I have 240 small 100 MB clips to compile on a dual layer DVD. (It is a teaching DVD).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Jake sorry did not see your post till just now...
    Hi Drew, not sure why you are saying use 1-Pass CBR and to drop the bitrate really low?
    In the past for very static things, such as text or what I though the poster was describing, I found that a CBR works better than a VBR. I am 99.99% sure that Perry was the one who mentioned that way back when and I tried it and it worked nicely, so have been running with it ever since. (Periodically I go back to run some more tests, and so far it has pretty much held true at least for me.)
    I think of it this way (and I know you know this stuff:), more from how my head wrapped around it, and was thinking of the more general DVD SP description of VBRs as mentioned below) - in general, if there are no changes between the frames, VBR is not going to allocate different rates since each from uses the same rate, 2 Pass primarily is looking for areas of motion. So for what I thought what was described, CBR would seem the way to go.
    Though of course if some sections have more color, etc, maybe it is worth it, for instance one segment has three big color circles on the white board vs just one circle.
    The DVD SP guide mentions it is looking for motion areas, though the Compressor guide indicates it is broader than that, so I guess I was thinking more of the motion search as oppossed to detailed areas since it seemed fairly static with not much detail - linear graphics and marks, and then followed through on time of encoding vs possible quality increase.
    And the budget idea is the way to go.
    Time to rewrap my head

  • Hey guys, Just want to know if i can jump from osx 10.5.8 straight to 10.6.4? Is there an update in between ? All i see available to purchase from apple is osx 10.6 (there is no third number)

    Hey guys, Just want to know if i can jump from osx 10.5.8 straight to 10.6.4? Is there an update in between ? All i see available to purchase from apple is osx 10.6 (there is no third number) but yet i saw a guy online selling snow leopard 10.6.3 so it left me wondering if i would need to purchase two upgrades as oppose to one!
    Cheers

    Updates from 10.x.0 to 10.x.last are traditionally free, and are available via Software Update.
    The version upgrades from 10.x to 10.y will traditionally cost you some money.
    Make sure your Mac meets the requirements for 10.6 — if you're on PPC, you cannot upgrade to 10.6.  (For reference, here are the Lion 10.7 system requirements.  The 10.7 upgrade requires 10.6.6 or later, and can be purchased by calling Apple directly and acquiring a download code, if it doesn't show up in the Mac App Store for you automatically.  I don't think your hardware would be supported with 10.8, if you're presently running 10.5.)
    In any case, you can purchase an official Apple Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD disk for US$20.
    Back up your system before installing the new software.
    Once you install 10.6, you'll run software update and the 10.6.8 combo update will be downloaded and installed for you.  That's free.  10.6.8 allows you to use your trackpad, as well as access the Mac App Store and some other tools; it's the most recent version of 10.6.

  • I want to upgrade my OSX from OS X 7.5 to something more recent. What about Yosemite ? Or 10.8 ?

    I want to upgrade my Mac OS 10.7.5. But I see Yosemite has a very bad record from the forums I read? so what should I choose : Mas OS X 8.0 or a more recent version, and which version ?
    Thanks for your help.  Jehan

    Who do you suppose posts on forums about Yosemite? The majority that have no issues at all — or those that started with underconfigured, or failing hardware; that had deleted part of the operating system, or installed anti-virus/anti-malware/so-called cleaner applications, or upgraded the machine, but not their multiple obsolete third-party kernel drivers, or Power-PC applications? That's the short list.
    I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, and have had absolutely no issues.
    Providing your hardware meets the requirements, you can only upgrade from 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion (10.8.5), or Yosemite. Mavericks is no longer available. The system requirements are the same for Mountain Lion and Yosemite, per your Mac mini. Mountain Lion is availabe from the U.S. Apple Store, and Yosemite from the OS X App Store. Upgrade the mini to 8GB of memory. That is what I have in mine.

  • I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
    You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
    Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
    Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.

  • I'm now running OSX v. 10.6.8.  I purchased OSX Mountain Lion from the app store

    I'm now running OSX v. 10.6.8.  I purchased OSX Mountain Lion from the app store & after about 40 minutes of "downloading" (started 40 or so minutes ago) my iMac restarted & I signed in.  But OSX 10.6.8 is still there & the image of OSX Mountain Lion is in my dock with the caption "OSX Mountain Lion -- Paused" !!!  ...Now ANOTHER 20 minutes have passed & no change nor other prompts nor info have come up!!  WHAT'S GOING ON???  PLEASE HELP!!! ~~~THANK YOU!!!

    THANKS SO VERY MUCH, mende1, for so quickly responding to my plea for HELP!!
    I had never turned my iMac off so I still don't understand why the download paused, & when I looked in my Applications folder there was no Mountain Lion, but your words, "However, you can pause and resume the download as many times as you want"  encouraged me to look deeper & try harder!!  I clicked & double-clicked (& multi-clicked!) the Mtn Lion icon in my dock to no avail but finally, I clicked & HELD the click for about 7 seconds . . . . . . . & then a little pop-up came & asked me if I want to "Resume the download" or stop it!! So I slid the cursor over to "Resume..." & it's downloading again!! ~~I HOPE!!  I guess 4.4 GB of OS update will take more than a little time to get in there!
    ~~~Again, THANK YOU so MUCH & God less you with a WONDERFUL time with your studies & future dreams!!!

  • Problem installing OSX 10.4 from Firewire DVD drive

    Hi, I'd be very grateful if anyone can help... I've been trying to install OSX 10.4 from DVD loaded in an external Firewire Lacie DVD drive and haven't been successful yet. I have tried instructing startup from the DVD in System Preferences, holding Option on startup and selecting the DVD and also holding 't' on startup, which I was informed forced startup from an external Firewire device (this resulted in a large Firewire logo floating round the screen but after 10 minutes or so hadn't progressed into full startup). Having read some bits of info found on Apple support I can see there is some issue about installing OSX 10.4 from a DVD drive other than an internal Apple drive (although I can't see any explanation why). Could someone please let me know if there is another way of doing this? – I mainly want to get 10.4 installed because I want to get a new ipod which requires 10.4 rather than 10.3. Thanks very much, Sam

    Some external DVD drives support startup. Some do not.
    Holding down the T key at startup makes the Mac go into FireWire Target Disk Mode. It will not help you start up from the DVD drive.
    If you have another Mac with FireWire and a DVD drive, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode to mount your Mac's hard drive on the other Mac's desktop. Then, you can use that other Mac to startup from the DVD and run the installer, pointing to your Mac's hard drive for the installation.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    I don't know of any other way, if the external DVD drive does not support start up.
