I do not have a backup from Mavericks, but Yosemite is causing too many problems. In LAYMAN'S terms, is there a way to get Mavericks back without losing all my files?

I updated to Yosemite while I was overseas and didn't have strong enough internet to do a Time Machine backup (it took hours to get Yosemite as it was and now I know that was dumb). Yosemite has made my older Mac almost un-usable. In LAYMAN'S terms, Is there a way I can go back to Mavericks or even an older system without losing my current files? I know nothing about computers and have not been able to find anyone in town that could help. Even the guy at the Genius Bar at Apple couldn't figure out how to help me. This whole Yosemite debacle has been the first time I've been disappointed in Apple. It has gotten me questioning whether I should go back to a PC.

This is the report. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Firefox 5 has caused so many problems, I want to uninstall and go back to a previous version. how?

firefox 5 has caused so many problems, I want to uninstall and go back to a previous version. the problem is that one of the issues 5.0 has caused is an error message when I click on "add or remove " on my control panel, so I can't remove Firefox 5. I have downloaded and run 3 supposedly good "fixers", but nothing has corrected my error issue. how can I uninstall 5.0 if I can't open the "add or remove" option? edit

Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all.

I have totally uninstalled Firefox--too many problems. Now I want to install a previous version, 9.0. The only versions I can find are 10.0--NO, NO, NO--and 3.6. WHERE DO I FIND VERS. 9.0??

Just give me an address for version 9.0--please!

Any extension that was properly updated for Firefox '''4.0''', shouldn't automatically be disabled in Firefox 10.0 for being "incompatible". I have never used CoolIris myself, when I tried it a few years ago it "sucked the life" out of my PC, so I can't comment specifically about that add-on. But I have 60 extensions installed and only one was disabled with the Firefox 10.0 update - an extension that was not correctly updated a year ago; it still works in Firefox but I have to play with it after every Firefox update to get the new version to accept it and use it.
Contact CoolIris support to find out what the problem is with their Firefox add-on, as to why they haven't updated it beyond Firefox 9.0 yet - http://www.cooliris.com/help/
This page - http://www.cooliris.com/help/desktop/?p=self_help - to me indicates that they may have a lot of fixing to so, it's not properly recognizing that Firefox 10.0 is out and a valid version - it says: Your current version: Firefox 10.0 
Most recent version available: Firefox 5.0 
Almost like that help page thinks Firefox 10.0 is being recognized as Firefox 1.0 instead. I seen a few other pages that have misread the Firefox 10.0 version number and mentioned an older version as being the "oldest compatible version".

My girlfriend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the Canada store and spend most of it with .02¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't.

My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*

You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music back into my laptop , how can I do that. Pl help

The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music etc back into my laptop , how can I do that. Also let me know how I can transfer the contacts into Windows contacts from I phone. Pl help

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

Installed windows 7 over windows 8. Now I want to recover back to windows 8.

Hello Everybody!
OK so here is my situation. I bought a Pavilion G7-2235DX with windows 8. I made one recovery disc becuase I was impatient and figured that my recovery partition would be enough.
I decided immediately to install windows 7, and I installed windows 7 and kept the GPT/GUID partition tables intact and left the recovery partition.
Now I want to go back to windows 8.
I hit F11 and entered the recovery program and selected the notebook harddrive as the recovery method. However this is when I get an Error that says no bootable disk and asks me to insert a boot disk and I cant continue.

Hi:
Normally the recovery partition won't work when you install a non HP-imaged OS on the C:\ drive.
I would imagine your only way out is to order recovery media for your notebook from HP.
Click on the link below and then click on the link labeled Order Recovery Media.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

My phone was working well. i installed some free games and after 2 days u guyz charged me $34 from my debit card. and now i can install any free apps, they keep asking to put my billing info for those. please this is urgent. i want my money back.

hello sir/madam
this is a very urgent and important question. i nedd your assinstance.
i have iphone 3g. i was working well. about 2 months earlier i bought an app of $2.99. after then every thing was okay. but last week i installed some free games and 2 days later itunes send me a reciept via email and you guyz charged me $34. now whenever i try to install free apps they want my billing info. please i need your help and want those money back.
$34 for free games , i will show u the reciept. if its not possible to get the money back i will forced to take proper action.
thank you sir /madam.

The games might be free but I think you've clicked In-App purchase which cost money. You are warned before you accept the In-App purchase. You not that young and you can read so take action if you must. It's your own fault and all purchases are final. Good luck.

If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then cancelled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do i go back and do that since now when i plug in my HD, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help?

If i selected to "Create a new backup" and then canceled that option but want to go back and select "Inherit backup history"; how do I go back and do that since now when I plug in my external hard drive, that option doesn't appear anymore?? Any Help? I bought a MacBook Air, but decided to return it for the newest model, and I wanted to back it up so that I can then back it up on my new MacBook Air. I didn't understand the option to Inherit or start a new back up, and therefore selected the option to create a new backup. I believe I should have selected to Inherit backup history so that when i back it up on the new MackBook Air, it appears the same as the one I'm returning.... Is there anyway that i can re-select the option to Inherit backup history for time machine?

Thanks for sharing this link.
I've posted a question here https://discussions.apple.com/message/22049103#22049103 describing my situation. Are you able to suggest me the right option?

Lost phone by transit...I just want my phone back

Ok so my iphone 5s which was in top condition because i went out and bought an otter box. So over time i released i started having problems with my speakers. For example: if i put my phone on my speaker the person on the other side could not hear me. So i checked my warranty and since i got the phone in January its still covered. The phone is an gold edition iphone 5s. I called apple and they sent me a box where i could place my phone in and ship it back to apple. Now i have done this many times before with my other iphones because for some reason i always get broken iphones without softwares. So i get the box on 09/13/2014 and on Tuesday night which goes to Wednesday mail time 9/17/2014 my phone is in the mail place waiting to be shipped. Now i go online 9/21/201 and see that for the service request is still on step 1. Now as i noted i have done this plenty of times before with apple and i have gotten a replacement/returned phone within three days. So since it hasnt moved from step one i was worried and contacted apple. They have no information on my phone or where it might be at all. Fedex has no idea where my phone might be. My apartment has had no returned products back to my place. So i contact apple again and apparently their customer service has no online chat you have to call. Thing is i dont have a phone and cant borrow one. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET MY PHONE BACK, MY LITTLE MIND TOLD ME NOT TO SEND IT IN BUT I DID ANYWAY AND NOW IM STUCK WITHOUT A PHONE AND APPLE DOESNT CARE. I WILL NEVER EVER SEND MY PHONE TO EVER GET REPAIRED IF I GET THIS ONE BACK. I PULLED ALL A.S IN SCHOOL SO THAT I COULD BUY MYSELF THIS GIFT AND NOW ITS GONE.
I WILL TAKE IT BACK UNPAIRED AND WILL EVEN PAY FOR THE FREAKING SHIPPING, I JUST WANT MY PHONE BACK
P.S. IVE TALKED WITH ONLINE SUPPORT AND THEY KEEP SAYING IS THAT THEIR NOT QUALIFIED FOR MY TYPE OF PROBLEM AND KEEP TRANSFERRING ME TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 10MINUTE WAITS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THEN THEY KEEP SAYING THEY ARE TRULY SORRY BUT DONT DO A SINGLE THING. ALL THEY SAY IS THAT ITS LOST IN TRANSIT.
DO YOU THINK THERES ANY CHANCE I CAN GET MY PHONE BACK????

I would assume you copied the tracking number on the package? If so, simply go to Fedex (or whatever carrier it was) and check that tracking number and/or call them to ask what happened to it. And/or you do have the record of Apple sending you an email about the matter?
If Fedex (or Apple) has no record and you do not have any proof that you shipped it, I don't believe that anyone can do anything. Not sure if your home insurance would cover this - probably not, but it's worth a phone call.

I wanted to do un up-date on my iPhone 4s, but it said an error occurred and it said i have to restore it and lose all my data. I just want my phone back, no up-date, with all my pictures. Please, can i do this??

I do not want to restore my phone!

If by 'un up-date' you mean you want to go back to a previous version you can't as its not supported by Apple.
As for the error message what did it say?
If you didn't make a backup before doing whatever it is you are trying to do then your photos are likely lost.

When I log off of Firefox, do something else, and then want to get back on Firefox it says that it is already running and have to close the old Firefox out. How do I do it? Now, I'm restarting the computer. Is there an easier way? Thanks Steve

I x off Firefox and work on MS Pub or Word, perhaps my email. If, for some reason I want to go back on Firefox, a box comes up and says it's already running - to close it and restart Firefox. I can't find where to close it? If I could re-open it, that would be fine, but to close it - there are no tabs, icons etc. So, I simply restart the whole computer and begin again. That's a long way round the barn!
Steve

Check the task manager (ctrl + shift + esc) and look for firefox.exe in the processes tab. If it's running, close it.

I want to go back to 10.6, 10.7 causing too many problems
