Is it possible to go back to Mavericks OS X from Mavericks OS X Server?

hello.
is it possible to go back to Mavericks OS X from Mavericks OS X Server?
cannot find any info about uninstall of Server App
thanx

Launch the Server application. In the menubar, click on Help -> Removing Server.
As a courtesy, here is what Help -> Removing Server says:
"Uninstall the Server app from your Mac by dragging it to the Trash, your Mac is reset to a client user system. However, File Sharing and Open Directory services, and their data, remain on your Mac, but only as local client services. You manage file sharing data in Sharing preferences and Open Directory data in Users & Groups preferences in System Preferences."

How to revert back to 10.6.8 from mavericks

How to revert back to 10.6.8 from mavericks, a lot of programs i need to use are unsupported by the new update. what can i do to revert my imac back to the previous OSX

Why not simply udate your apps, it will be much easier in the long run if you do. However if you want to revert back to 10.6.8, then simply use your SL discs to reformat your HD, then update to 10.6.8 and then use Migration Assistant to migrate your apps and other data from your TM or bootable backup clone to your HD.
Going forward it's much wiser to do you due diligence before updating. You have old apps that are probably PPC based, Apple supported those until Lion was released 2 years ago. The longer you wait to update those apps the more painful upgrading will be in the future.

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!!!

Is it possible to get back to the Try block from a Catch block?

I would like to perform validations on a config file. To do so, I have a method which will throw a MissingConfigException or an InvalidConfigException if something is missing or if something doesn't match a regex pattern. Although I have to do that with many different configs and I would like to go through all of them so that my error message will report all missing / incorrect configs at once instead of 1 at a time. Thus, I wanted to know if there would be any way I could do something like:
try {
     config.validate("ServerPort","\\d+");
     config.validate("MaxClients","\\d+");
} catch(MissingConfigException e) {
} catch(InvalidConfigException e) {
and have the catch block executed before going through the try block from where the exception was thrown.
Thanks in advance!

No, you can't jump back into the try. You can put your try/catch inside a loop though, so that if one fails, it will loop around and start a new try for the next one. Define a class that holds all the data you need to pass to validate, and make an array or List of those objects. Change or add a validate signature that takes this object, or just extract the strings from each one when you call validate.
ThingToValidate[] val = new ThingToValidate[] { new ThingToValidate("ServerPort", "\\d+"),
    new ThingToValidate("MaxClients", "\\d+"),
for (int ix = 0; ix < val.length; ix++) {
    try {
        config.validate(val[ix]);
        // OR
        config.validate(val[ix].getThingy, val[ix].getOtherThingy[]);
    catch (....) {
        // logger.warn("failed...");

Back to 10.8.4 from mavericks 10.9.3/ WIFI Issues

I was originally operating on Lion 10.8.4
Apple Compressor stopped letting me submit files for compression, the button was grayed out. After some research it seemed the most likely cause was that Apple Qmaster, Compressor and Quicktime may be operating on diiferent versions, causing the problem. The advice was to update the software to ensure they were all operating off the same version.
I went to update the whole system and a kernal panic occured. After updating to 10.8.5 the wifi stopped working. Sometimes it worked for a few minutes upon turning the computer on, but soon drops. I tried resetting the PRAM.
Upon advice I updated to Mavericks. The problem remains.
I am using a 13 inch Macbook Pro/ Mid 2012.
Any advice welcome!

Is it possible to get back all my icloud photos from different phones?

My phone recently started not being able to back up due to icloud being full. Is there a way i can get all my photos back? I've had several phones but on the same account. thanks

All of the files that you were working on and managing in Lightroom were not actually "in" Lightroom. Your files are stored in folders on your computer. Lightroom simply points to those files and displays them. Reinstalling Lightroom would not have any impact on your image files unless the hard drive(s) were reformatted in the process. Lightroom uses a catalog which is a database to keep track of where your images are located. It also stores all of the adjustments made to your images. If you backed up that catalog before reinstalling your software, and if you still have all of your images, then you should be able to open that catalog that you used previously and have all of your work still in place. If you don't have the catalog then I'm afraid you will just have to start over. Whether or not you still have your image files isn't clear.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard. Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

Is it possible to revert back from Maverick to previous software?

Maverick is causing many issues on my system. Is it possible to revert back?

Yes. Erase your drive and reinstall Snow Leopard 10.6.8. You may then check your Purchases page in the App Store for your prior OS X version you want, download and install it.
Clean 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.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then do the following:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I forgot to save a file in Numbers. Is there any way I can possibly get it back?

Do a search in Finder for Untitled.Numbers. If you find such a file, or some variation, try to open it and see what's there. That's if you never saved.
Mavericks is pretty good about autosaving, so you chances are not too bad. In the future though, never write a thing in a new document until you give it a name and a place.

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight,Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight, Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.

Switch back from Mavericks to Mountain Lion

I have tried to switch back from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, due to the battery drain problem, following the steps included in the tutorial https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6162
The problem is that when I format the HD and I click on 'Install' it appears a big screen which says 'Install Mavericks". I want to install Mountain Lion (that I have in the pendrive), or at least Lion, but I am unable to do that, there is no option to choose any other operating system. Is there a way to rollback to any previous system?
If not, would it be possible to extract the HD from the computer, format it completely (including the recovery partition) in another computer, install it again in the original computer and perform a clean install from my pendrive?
I have no external drive with Time Machine or similar.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have got a Time Machine backup created in OS X Mountain Lion, connect the external drive with the backup, hold the Option key while your computer is starting and choose the external drive. Then, select the option to restore the Time Machine backup and follow the steps. Note that your hard drive will be erased.
If your Mac came with Lion or Mountain Lion, you can use Internet Recovery by holding down Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting up. Use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive and reinstall OS X or restore the backup

Reverting back to Mountain Lion from Mavericks via Time Machine?

Hi all
I'm wondering if anybody has successfully downgraded from Mavericks back to Mountain Lion. I am fed up with all the bugs with Mavericks...I should never have upgraded. However, I did make a system backup via Time Machine before upgrading. I'm not sure if it is possible to go back, though. Has anyone successfully done it via Time Machine? I'm also having trouble getting to the restore menu - I have a PC keyboard (which works fine for the Mac), but it doesn't do anything when I hit Command (well, the PC equivalent) + R or Option when I restart. The only thing that seems to work is Command+Option+R, which takes me to the Internet recovery, though I'm not sure if I can go back to my old system via Time Machine on that. Anyway, would appreciate any thoughts on this.

Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. OS X Internet Recovery, which you were able to invoke with your non-Apple keyboard, will work just as well.
Once the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Restore from Time Machine Backup.
Select the TM backup of your Mountain Lion system prior to upgrading - their backup dates and OS X versions will appear, so you will be looking for the most recent backup of your system when it was running OS X version 10.8.5.
When it completes, your Mac will restart and your previous system state will have been restored. After that, uninstall any third party software and system modifications incompatible with Mavericks before contemplating an upgrade.

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?
