Is it possible to return to Mountain Lion once using Mavericks?

So I have recently updated to Mavericks on my MacBook Air, but everything has gone wrong!
I can no longer open Pages documents which I created with Pages 4.3, and when I transfer a file which I created using Page 5 to a friend, they can't open it with Pages 4.3, either!
I was wondering if there is anyway I can return to Mountain Lion after I have updated to Mavericks?
Any help is appreciated!

You can if you had a prior Time Machine backup:

That said, I'm unsure that reverting to Mountain Lion is necessary.  Your system should still have Pages 4.3 on it (in the "iWork '09" folder in /Applications) and you can still use that if you prefer it.  If you manually deleted it, then going back to Mountain Lion isn't going to give you Pages 4.3 I don't think.  You should still be able to run Pages 4.3 on Mavericks.
Also, to open a Pages 5.0-created document in Pages 4.3, you should be able to save it as such.  It's not the default format, but you can export to it.

    Is it possible to "clean Install" mountain lion over mavericks on a brand new mac mini

    Actually evrything I can find states that the last mini to run SL was 2010.
    It appears that the 2012 mini's shipped with Mountain Lion and later Mavericks. Link
    Also why would the OP need a bootable SL installation media when they want to install ML?

  • I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks?

    I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks? I am currently adding more ram so it will have 32gb of ram, i have 2 250gb HDD but adding a 250gb SSD , and have a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb that i will most likely upgrade to an ATi Radeon HD 5570 1gb.

    The SSD will boot fast, but the real change is launching 10 programs in 10 seconds and being able to use them. (20 seconds for a few big suites).
    I would not add or upgrade to 32GB RAM. You can get 8 x 2GB for $100 on Amazon.
    Those 250GB HDD are "old" and slow and overdue to be replaced, reformat and use t o backup the system.
    Samsung 250GB SSD is down to $150 or so on Amazon also.
    The 5770 is gone, hard to find, EOL and over charged for when you do find one.
    you could look into how to use a PC 6870 or others.
    Or, you could hold out and wait for a refresh of Mac-Mini which can be just as fast or faster and run Mavericks.

  • Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?

    Is it possible to downgrade to mountain lion with the help of a time machine backup after having updated to Mavericks?

    Just to be clear, if by downgrade you mean uninstall, then the answer is technically, no.
    You can't uninstall an OS. You can erase and re-install the old OS, but if you don't have a prior backup of your data, you'll lose it during the erase procedure.

  • I am running version 10.7.5 on my MacBook Pro. Can I upgrade irectly to Mavericks or do I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, then Mavericks

    I am running version 10.7.5 on my MacBook Pro. can I upgrade directly to Mavericks or do I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, then Mavericks?

    As long as your MacBook Pro is in the ML compatible list, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs it is compatible with Mavericks and you can go directly to Mavericks.

    How do i reinstall mountain Lion after installing maverick. Maverick  is not compatible with FileMaker 13 server. Maverick is now objecting to reinstalling Mountain Lion. Where do I go from here? Help?

    If you can download the ML installer you can make a bootable install media by using:
    http://liondiskmaker.com/
    If your Mini came with ML you can also boot to Internet Recovery
    OS X: About OS X Recovery
    and it will install ML. Make sure you boot to Internet Recovery and not the Recovery Partition. If to the partition you will only get Mavericks.

  • Why can a person buy and/or download Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion but not Mavericks???

    I am running OS X Lion on a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with 4GB of ram and a 160GB HDD. I was going to download Mavericks from the app store but waited to long. Now that Yosemite is out Mavericks has disappeared from the app store. WHY? A person can buy and/or download Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion but not Mavericks??? And the kicker is that it was FREE!!! I just wanted to load Mavericks on my MacBook Pro to see how it performs. If I could live with any slow downs or quirks, I'd leave it installed. If not, I'd roll my system back. Apple's policy of ramrodding unstable product down our throat is BS. I don't want to use Yosemite until it has become more stable!

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

    Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

    Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.
    Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Style Sheet:
    Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:
    Preview. Try Preview > Preferences > PDF > Smooth text and line art (uncheck)

    If my experience with a similarly aged computer is any indicator, you'll notice an immediately speed hit once you've upgraded to Mavericks. Each OS X update tends to be more memory hungry than the previous and my 2007 iMac wasn't happy with Lion until I upgraded the RAM and at that point Lion performance roughly matched Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion and then Mavericks shaved some speed off again. Mavericks on the 2007 iMac was okay for the most part but switching between applications was slow as was the fileselector.
    My 2009 MBP saw similar slowdowns with Lion but I was above to upgrade it to 8GB which made a big difference. (My iMac was limited to 6GB) but I still saw a significant speed hit with Mt Lion when I tried to run multiple memory intensive applications. Seeing how my wife's MacBook Air dealt with Mt Lion with only 4GB I decided to install an SSD in the MBP and wow what a difference. Tried it with the iMac using a FireWire800 enclosure and saw similar improvement.
    So to boil it down to one sentence, you are going to see a significant speed hit with only 4GB but if you can afford to upgrade your drive to an SSD you'll be amazed at how well that computer can run.

  • Is it possible to downgrade to Mountain Lion on the 2013 Mac Pros?

    Obviously came with Mavericks, but would like to know if it's possible to run 10.8.
    Thanks!

    While that is typically the case, I've noticed the new MacBook Air and Mac Mini will allow you to install Mountain Lion
    That is because both models were released before Mavericks was available. Mountain Lion is their original OS.
    The 2013 Mac Pro can not run anything lower than the custom build version of 10.9 it shipped with.
