You can't. Once you upgrade there is no facility for downgrading.

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:
iMac7,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:
2 GHz
Number Of Processors:
1
Total Number Of Cores:
2
L2 Cache:
4 MB
Memory:
2 GB
Bus Speed:
800 MHzMost of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

HT4847 I don't have Lion of working IOS 5 and want to downgrade my storage how do I do it
I don't have Lion of working IOS 5 and want to downgrade my storage how do I do it?
You can only do this on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac or an iOS5.6 device. If you don't have these how did you manage to add storage in the first place? If you are a MobileMe migratee you would have been given an additional 20GB as a concession but this expires on 30 September and will simply be removed if you don't pay to upgrade it, so you need do nothing if this is the additional storage you are concerned about.
If you did somehow manage to purchase extra storage and now wish to downgrade it you will need to contact Support.
You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade within 15 days of buying:
Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare. julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'. If you are unable to access the required setting you will again have to contact Support. -

I want to downgrade from Mavericks to Snow Leopard. How can I do this?
I want to downgrade my 2009 IMac from Mavericks to Snow Leopard. Please explain how I do this.
Insert the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, restart the computer with the C key held down, and install Snow Leopard onto a blank volume. If needed, use the Disk Utility to erase or repartition the internal drive.

If you are talking about re-activating a phone you already have on the line with the iPhone, yes you can do that. There are no fees to switch from phone to phone. -
I want to downgrade from mac os x marvels to snow leopard
Like marvics is cool, but I would like to downgrade back from marvics to snow lepoard.
Its telling me that my original install disk is not compatible help pls
Technical information/errors:
You can't use this version of the applicaiton "Install mac os X" with this version of os X.
You have install mac os X 23.1.1.
And then it talks about how it cannot be used because its a power pc application.
the computer originally came with Snow lepoardClean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Removed from Lightroom; Now, want to delete from Disk - how to identify?
Here's what I did:
- I removed a bunch of images from Lightroom, without Deleting from Disk.
- Now, I want to remove those images from the Disk, the ones I deleted from the catalog
Is there any good, quick way to delete the "un-cataloged" images out of the hard drive folder, leaving the folder containing only the images still in LR? Perhaps, to move the images still in LR to another folder, then clean out the folder of what's left?
Also, am I missing something obvious about this process? I *usually* just flag images for deletion, but this time, without thinking, I actually deletedthem...but from the catalog only. Whoops.
LR 3.4
Windows 7
Thanks folks -

A clever way someone else suggested recently:
Synchronise the folder - all the deleted photos will be reimported, and will be added to the "Previous Import" collection
Select all the photos in the "Previous Import" collection and delete them
Marc
Yes, if there are a lot of images, that is obviously quicker.

Downgrade from os8 to os7 on ipad2
Another ipad2 user. OS8.02. Would love to downgrade back to 7. Can this be done in any way? Many thanks.
Hi,
Yes, this can be done. However, the process is not recommended. Apple does not offer a way to downgrade.
Therefore, in order to downgrade you would have to jailbreak your phone and in doing so, void your warranty.
