IDVD 08 is a bummer. How do I return to an older version?

I had iLife 04 on my Mac for ages, but I just bought and installed iLife 08.
Mistake!
IDVD 08 will not open any of my old iDVD projects; it just sits there with the beachball spinning or doing nothing at all. All the old projects now have the blue and white iDVD 08 icon, but they don't open. Likewise "Open Previous Project" doesn't work.
So, I attempted to recreate some of my old projects in iDVD 08 by dumping the Quicktime movies that were originally used to create the old iDVD 4 projects (QuickTime movies that were exported from Final Cut Express), but I can't seem to drag and drop them into iDVD's background like I could with iDVD 4. When I drag the icon of the QT movie over into iDVD's window, the + sign does not appear, indicating that it's ready to drop, and when I let go of the mouse button, the QT movie's icon returns to the folder where the file resides.
Most of the time, when trying to open or create any project, iDVD just sits there with its beachball spinning, or does nothing at all, so that I have to force-quit it (and then I trash the .plist).
This version of iDVD seems like a real bummer. I can't get it to do anything.
How do I return to iDVD 4? Can I Trash iDVD 08 and then reinstall iDVD 04 from the iLife 04 DVD?

Very rarely do I recommend reverting to an older version of iLife once the current version is already installed. But in your own situation, perhaps this is best ..... given the fact apple's iLife'08 isn't intended for a G4. You need a G5 or better for iMovie apparently within iLife 08. iDVD's system requirements call for at least a G4 733. But I haven't seen anyone post on this iDVD forum who has the latest version of iDVD successfully running on a G4.
Use the following app at your own risk to remove iDVD:

  • My bank website doesn't support Firefox 4. How can I return to the older version of Firefox?

    I called my bank and they said that I need to use an older version. How do I do this?

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
    An alternative approach is to keep Firefox 4 and install the portable version of Firefox 3.6 on your hard drive. The portable version will be totally independent of the main version and can be used when you want to access the bank site. You can get it from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

  • My Yahoo toolbar is gone requiring me to press the back button thru all of the pages I've viewed to get back to my homepage. AND more importantly I can no longer use Kodak Gallery. How do I return to an older version of Firefox?

    The recent version of Firefox apparently does not support/permit me to see/use the Yahoo toolbar. Therefore, I have to manually page back thru all of the yahoo pages I've visited to get back to the main page.
    Also the recent version of Firefox apparently is not compatible with Kodak Gallery's functions; therefore use of my many photo albums stored online is no longer available.
    Apparently I need to go back to an older version of Firefox or use another browser.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? Thank You, Carol Roberts

    I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? If there is no way to do this, then I will have to use internet explorer so I hope you can help me with this. Thank You, Carol Roberts

    Until Evernote updates their add-on to mark it compatible with Firefox 6, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to try re-enabling it yourself.
    You can also downgrade to a previous version of Firefox from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this archive], but please be warned that some old versions of Firefox have known security bugs that are fixed in later versions.

  • I can't open 3 documents because trial upgrade to version 5 of pages happened. I don't want to pay $20 to get upgrade. How do I open docs in older version. They were created in older version.

    I can't open 3 documents because trial upgrade to version 5 of pages happened. I don't want to pay $20 to get upgrade. I don't recall fine print stating money would be needed. How do I open docs in older version? They were created in older version.

    Hi MBilyeu,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use these steps to open your Pages documents with the previous version:
    Permanently change the document’s app
    Select the document and choose File > Get Info.
    In the Info window, click the triangle next to “Open with” to expand the section.
    Choose an app from the pop-up menu, or choose Other to locate a different app.
    If you want to use that app to open all documents of the same type as the current document and created by the same app, click Change All.
    Temporarily change the document’s app
    You can open a document in a different app without changing the app that normally opens it. Use either of these methods:
    Control-click the document, choose Open With, and then choose the app you want to use.
    Drag the document to the app’s icon in the Dock or in the Finder.
    From:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Choose an app to open a document

  • How can I return to the previous version?

    ''locking this thread which was started back in February about Firefox 26 / 27''
    Yesterday, while trying to get rid of the uninvited AVG elements in my Mozilla opening page I some how installed the latest version of Mozilla which I really dislike. Given this is on my wife's computer while she is away and she does not like changes to her computer I would really appreciate it being returned to the previous version.
    I also consider your instructions on how to do anything regarding setting up Mozilla as absolutely terribly written.

    Your current level 29 is TERRIBLE on my iMac and I want to go back a level, until you fix it!!!! Help?????!!!!!

  • How can I return to a previous version of firefox?

    At this moment I'm running Firefox 35.0.1, and I think I wish to return to whatever was the previous version. I think Firefox updated to this version several weeks ago, and since then strange things are happening.
    First of all, I don not like the "manage search engine" set-up. It's different than the one I had a few weeks ago. Now there's nothing at all wrong with this new incarnation, I just don't like the drop down box, etc, (very small issue).
    My real concern is, when I'm on a web page, (pick one), any web page, I'll begin hearing audio from some ad. I frantically search the page to see where I can stop the audio, never finding any option. I'll minimize my window, to see if something is behind that window, which I can shut off, but to no avail. This has happened 3 times in the last 48 hours.
    Not earth shattering issues, I realize.
    But the question would be, is there an easy way that one could return to the version prior to 35.0.1, without damaging anything, (I'm not extremely tech savy).
    Thanks in advance, etc.
    greg

    Changing versions often does not cure problems, but it does increase risks.
    * ( Do Not ) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    The search options will not be changed by downgrading, but there is a method of changing that without downgrading.
    * See Ed's [/questions/1044599#answer-685295]
    I am not sure the changes in Firefox 35.0.1 would cause your audio issues
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0.1/releasenotes/
    The first step in troubleshooting that may be to identify the tab or page involved, then try Firefox with only the newtab page and the problem page open.
    IIRC Firefox is intended to continue streaming audio even if a tab does not have focus. That enables users to stream audio in the background whilst browsing. What you hear may be intended behaviour.

  • How do I return to the previous version of Java?

    After the latest Apple Update I have
    After the latest Apple-Update, I use Java 6 Update 24 for Mac OS X 10.6.
    If I try to upload the files in Safari and clicking the button for the upload, the window don't open to select the files.
    If I try the same with Firefox, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
    It is possible to get back to the previous version (perhaps Java 6 Update 22) and how?

    Same probs here! Cannot acces drop-down menus in ebay, it screwed up my email and I can't access links, other stuff too! I thought these guys were reputable? And they want to drop support for the older version? NOT REAL HELPFUL! PLUS, YOU HAVE TO JUMP THRU HOOPWS TO DOWNLOAD OLDER VERSION, INSTEAD of putting access to it on the SAME page as the groovy new FF 4! C'mon guys! Can't you see this thing is not READY yet???? -Al McD.

  • TS1717 i updated itunes and now i cant find half my music- how can i return to the earlier version

    i updated my Itunes to the newest version- now it cant find half my music and my computer is reall acting wonky since i installed. how can i uninstall to the previous version?

    iTunes has no serial number.
    If iTunes says it can't find the files, it means it can't read them from where they should be.
    iTunes doesn't store the music actually within itself, it just keeps the location of the song, and then reads it from there. E.g. Song is in 'My Music', add it too iTunes. When iTunes plays the song, it's playing it from 'My Music', not from a full song file in the iTunes library.
    So, do you have your music files stored on the actual hard-drive of your computer, or on an external hard drive? If external hard drive, are you getting this error both when it's connected, AND when it's disconnected, or only when it's disconnected?

  • I need a prior version of firefox...version 1.5 because my payroll department software is not compatible with firefox 6.0... how do I get the other - older - version ??

    my payroll department uses eSAP payroll program. It is NOT compatible with your new version...6.0. I need your older version 1.5 so i can access my payroll records. I am currently being forced to use Internet Explorer and I absolutely HATE that software.
    please help !!! How do I get the older version? Version 1.5 - thank you.

    I would hope the problem is that Firefox 5 is not compatible with some of McAfee's additional add-ons. It will be rather worrying if it has a problem with the McAfee security programs themselves. Please state exactly which software and version you are having problems with.
    There are known issues with McAfee's Site Advisor [/questions/839953#answer-205178] but it is hoped McAfee will solve that in a few weeks.

  • How do I get back my older version of Firefox? The new version sux.

    I loved the older version of Firefox. I also had a Yahoo toolbar, a MyYearbook tool bar and a Stumble Upon extension. When I "upgraded" to the new 4.0 Beta version, all of those disappeared.
    I got a notice that said the new version of Firefox is not compatible.
    If it's not compatible, then I don't want it, but I seem to be stuck with it. How do I get my older version back again??

    If you resaved the file and changed its name it is wherever you saved it to.
    If you changed the name of the open file then that is your only copy.
    You can go back to previous versions by various methods. In Pages 5 it is:
    Menu > File > Revert

  • How to load an applet with older version of JRE?

    Hi All,
    I'm writing an applet which should read the username from the user's system using System.getProperty("user.name") method. I've JRE 1.4.2 in my browser, and it's throwing a AccessControlException whenever the applet is trying to read the "user.name" system property. So, I want to load this particular applet with an older version of JRE, say JRE 1.3. I've tried various approaches like,
    <jsp:plugin type="applet" code="LoginApplet.class" archive="login.jar"
         jreversion="1.3"     iepluginurl="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0">
    </jsp:plugin>
    and also tried OBJECT tag,
    <OBJECT
    classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0013-0000-0000-ABCDEFFEDCBA" codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/jinstall-13-win32.cab#Version=1,3,0,0"
         width="200" height="200" align="baseline" >
    <PARAM NAME="code" VALUE="LoginApplet.class">
    <PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="login.jar">
    <PARAM NAME="type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.3">
    <PARAM NAME="scriptable" VALUE="true">
    No Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition v 1.3 support for APPLET!!
    </OBJECT>
    I've not tried the simple APPLET tag because we can't specify a java plugin using the APPLET tag.
    In both the above methods, I'm still getting AccessControlException. In Java console, I'm seeing Java Plugin as 1.4.2.
    Can someone tell me is it possible to read the "user.name" system property from user's machine using Applets? If yes, how?
    Thanks,
    Tarun.

    Applets are prevented from doing certain things - reading data is one - to maximize security. You can either add permissions to the computer that the applet is running on, or you can sign the applet.
