Is editing a previous version possible?

I have read through the Developer Reference (9.0.1) section on Versioning but I couldn't find the answer to this question. Is it possible to edit a previous version of a public object? I understand I can have the Family ID reference a previous version. I would like to be able to go back and edit a previous version and then save this (with out creating a new version). My guess, from what I've infered, is that this isn't possible. If it isn't possible, I'm curious why not. It seems like there could be a switch to turn on or off the ability to edit previous versions. Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction to find some documentation on this? Thanks.

Alexandre,
Thanks for your reply. I agree with you. Branching would be the best way to achieve what I want. Unfortunetly, iFS does not support multiple branches right now so I can not do what you suggest. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this. I've seen indications in older documentation that multiple branching was supported but in the latest documentation it looks like Oracle is saying that it isn't supported. Here's a posting from Alison Stokes of Oracle:
"Author : Alison Stokes Type : N/A Date : Aug 9, 2001 20:49 PT Although Oracle iFS provides an object model flexible enough to support more advanced versioning applications, the methods required to create secondary VersionSeries in a Family are not published or supported in the current release of Oracle 9iFS.
Your feedback on the importance of supporting this capability is greatly appreciated."
Since branching is not supported I'm trying to figure out a work around. Oracle iFS does not use 'diffing'. So instead of version 2 of a document only containing the differences from version 1, in iFS, version 2 is actually a full copy. This is why I think that it should be possible to update a previous version without creating a new version (even though this isn't standard behavior).
I'll describe my problem and maybe someone can suggest a solution. At a certain point in time we have the need to cut a realease (v1) of a document and then start working on a new release (v2). The old release must be frozen so we can go back to it and 'print' out additional copies. To freeze the old release, my idea was to just change the pointer to the physical object id of the document rather than pointing to the family id. Work on the next release would continue on in subsequent versions. The problem arises when someone finds a typo or some problem in the frozen v1 release. We need a way to be able to go back and edit this old release. I've over simplified our situation. A frozen release is not just made up of 1 public object. It could contain 100 objects, with references to each other (we are using iFS together with Epic XML editor and a iFS adapter). The only thing I can think to do is to physically copy the 100 objects making up the document so that we would now have 100 new family objects. This seems wasteful since we may only need to edit one or two of these 100 objects.
Thanks for any help.

Nick,
AFAIK, there is no possibility to update public object without creating a new version. If you need it, than it's wrong design, or it is not versioning, strictly speaking.
I would consider another approach: branching. You can have version 1, than version 2 and so on. Instead of changing version 1 later, you may use vesion one as a base document and create versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3....

Is it possible to install previous TRIAL versions of previous versions of Adobe Creative Cloud Software?

Look, I'm just testing the trial versions right now. Don't try to troubleshoot something that I don't ask; this is what I'm looking to accomplish:
Is it possible to install a trial version of any of the Adobe Creative Cloud software in a previous version? By that, I am referring to the following:
I want to install a trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014; NOT Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.1. If you notice, I want to reinstall a trial version of the previous release. Don't ask why, you'll just laugh for my stupid reason, but I'm merely wondering if it is possible. Creative Cloud now only offers trials of the newest versions, and I want to install trails of previous versions for my own, personal reasons. Is this possible to do with creative cloud, or must I do it some other way?
Is it also possible to obtain the physical installation files so that I won't have to always go through creative cloud to download them again (and then I can just set it up without being connected to the internet)?

In the new version of Thunderbird it seems impossible to set that attachments are shown as"Read only". It was possible in previous versions. Can anybody help?

In previous version of Thunderbird it was possible to set that incoming attachments are shown as "Read only". The solution was to set browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit as TRUE. In the latest version, no matter how I set this value,. the attachments ARE NOT shown as Read Only. As I need my attachments to be shown as Read Only, I had to restore older versions of Thunderbird. Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this in the new version of Thunderbird ?

I don't see a solution on these links. I am not a computer expert, but it was easy to fix in previous versions of Thunderbird. I can't do it now with the latest version, on either Windows 7 or 8.

In previous version F6 can Edit url but new version can't it have new hot key or remove it?

in previous version F6 can Edit url but new version can't it have new hot key or remove it??

F6 focuses the first selectable element.<br />
If "Tabs on Top" is selected then the active tab is selectable, so the location bar is not selected.<br />
Press F6 to set focus on the Tab bar and press the Tab key until the location bar gets focus.
To get the 3.6 behavior uncheck "Firefox button > options > [] Tabs on Top" or use Alt + D or Ctrl + L

IPhoto turned most of my edited photos into black files without any previous versions

I discovered the issue when I tried to edit some photos and the edit screen only displayed noise. After trying the steps recommended here and rebuilding my library most of my edited photos were black... I tried to return them to their previous versions but there aren't any.
When I create a new library and import a single photo and then try to edit it the iPhoto edit screen still either displays an image with noise or a black one.
I really like iPhoto and hope this issue can be fixed!
I'm using iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3

This is really a puzzlement. The last test I can think of is it could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to test that premise:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot.
Also do you have access to another Mac that you can test editing some of the photos you're having problems with here?
Here's another test: reformat the card in the camera or use another card, take some photos, import and edit. This could tell if there's a problem with the file itself due to a corrupted card format.

I have Firefox 5 now, in the admin section of my web site when I edit a change in the data it does not make the change on my data file. There was no problem in my previous version.

How can I return to a previous version that did not have problem? On Safari on my lap top Mac, I do not have this problem. We tried this on another Windows computer with a 3.5 or 3.6 Firefox version and there was no problem.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. Note: this is likely to log you out, so finish up whatever you are working on first.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
Some sites appear to be incompatible with Firefox 5. The difficulty is tracking down the problem. To see whether it is caused by the new stricter HTML parser in Firefox 4+, you can turn that off. Please save any unfinished work first.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).
Then return to the problem page, reload and try again. Does that make any difference?
Here's the process to roll back if needed:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?

Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?
To build a playlist, I would open a newly created one in a separate window, then in the main widow I would roam through the full music collection adding songs to the playlist - by simple drag and drop - as I find them. But this doesn't work when I have to jump between full list view and playlist view in the same window - that kind of confuses the process. I need to be able to see the playlist I am building while I roam through the main list, using two windows to see both lists of songs at the same time. Is this no longer possible in iTunes 11?
Using iMac 10.7.5

Apple never officially comments on these posts, true, and I have no idea if they pay much attention to this very helpful user to user forum set-up here, but they do let you provide feedback at-( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ )-for any product concerns you may have, though they don't respond there either, which I think is understandable. I think they do consider feedback while developing updates and I expect they try to incorporate feedback concerns as they create updates and revisions. But it is probably exceedingly difficult to include all feedback concerns or please everyone all the time.
A long time ago I was complaining to them about how the full music library view would jump to show next song playing every time a new song started and that would take my view away from wherever I had scrolled to while the last song was playing. That was annoying and they eventually fixed that issue in iTunes 11.
I have sent apple my feedback concerns (more than once) about how it really helps to open separate windows to do playist creations and edit, revise, and manage playlists - and how that split window method is not easy to use (linked to in a previous post I made on this thread). The more people they get feedback from asking to be able to open multiple iTunes windows, then the more likely they will bring that feature back. So don't forget to provide feedback (go to feedback link provided herein).
Hopefully it won't take them years to return the multiple window capability in a future update.

Save as previous version causes events to disappear in event structure

I am using 2009 and I am trying to save a VI as previous version...saved it in 8.6, 8.5,8.2 and 8.0.
I mass compiled the Main VI in 8.6 and tried to open it. I get about 30 errors one for each event case and the event structure has no events added.
"Event Data Node:Contains unwired or bad terminal"
I am attaching a zip file containing my 8.6 source code which I down converted from LabVIEW 2009. I am trying to open it in 8.6
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hey Brian,
This was reported to R&D (# 194525) for further investigation. A possible workaround for this issue is to save the VI to LabVIEW 8.6 and then save it to the various versions you wish to save the VI to. Also, another workaround is to manually re-enter the event specifiers to your cases.
When I saved the VI from LabVIEW 2009 to 8.2, the only thing that seemed to be out of place was the event specifiers. You can re-configure these by right-clicking on the event structure and selecting "Edit Events Handled by This Case...". Also, when I first saved the VI to LabVIEW 8.6 and then to LabVIEW 8.2, everything seemed to be in order.
Thanks for your feedback. Let me know if I can clarify any of my proposed workarounds.
Hope this helps.
