Is it possible to uninstall yosemite and reload maverick
is it possible to uninstall the operating system yosemite, and reinstall the maverick operating system
If you were wise you would consider other options just besides getting rid of Leopard and throwing it away. First, you could wait until Apple releases OS 10.5.1, then install and update to it. This might help take care of some problems. You could dual boot OS 10.4.10 and 10.5 as long as you have the OS 10.4 full install Disk and the OS 10.5 full install disk. I personally will wait until at least Christmas time before I install Leopard. New OS's are always full of bugs. On the Microsoft side, I've read where Windows Vista is still having major problems and is taking a long time to become widely used. These problems take time to fix. When Windows XP came out nobody would upgrade to it because of all it's bugs, now Windows XP is considered the standard on PCs. Mac OS 10.4 was also full of bugs at first, but now we talk about how rock solid it is. Simply give Apple time to fix these problems.

Can I uninstall Yosemite and reload my older operating system
can I uninstall Yosemite and reload my older operating system
I tried this method and erased my MC HD and restored my system, but the bad thing is once you install YOSEMITE it overrides your Recovery with yosemite and you lose Maverick. I called Apple support regarding this same issue. I have to take my Mac to apple to have it replaced with a new one that has maverick installed on it.
Yosemite is causing display glitches, wifi slow downs, dock disappears from one screen to the other or completely and cannot get it back. -

How can I uninstall yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programs
How can I uninstall Yosemite and reinstall Loin with out losing all my in formation and programsThis had been the worst os system apple has come out, too many errors
too many to list.
a few
Losing all mail. and watching them disappear in front of my eyes and could nothing about it
also when accessing cloud the screen just rolls in when accessing mail, like loading and loading and loading for 1 to 2 minuets.
I did not up grade my Mac Book Pro, and is working fine,
Just my iMac, its act kile avid card and it only happens access iCloud mail.
so I want to and need to go back to LoinYou can't unless you have a current backup of your old Lion system because the first thing you must do is erase the drive. It 's possible to use Target Disk Mode between your iMac and the MBP in order to clone the MBP to the iMac. However, that will still erase everything on the iMac's drive.
Or you could see about getting Yosemite to work correctly. If you have IMAP mail, then your mail should be intact.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
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.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite

because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Can I uninstall Yosemite and go back to my old OS?
Can I uninstall Yosemite and go back to my old OS?
It's not a simple uninstall. You'll need to erase the hard drive, install the old OS version, and then restore your data from a backup. It's a time consuming process and it's probably easier to try and troubleshoot whatever issues you're having with Yosemite.

I recently installed Yosemite from Mavericks. I find that Yosemite is slowing me down and causing havoc on my home web page. How do uninstall Yosemite and get back to Mavericks?

My two old white MacBooks run perfect with Snow leopard, but my 2011 17" i7 Macbook Pro is a dead slug with yosimite installed.
Tried the start with C held down, also with option held down. All it does is beeps at me three times, then again three times.....
I want to remove yosimite and install Snow leopard from dvd as yosimite runs worse than a Windows OS.
Can it be done, what do I need to do please?
Examples of faults, even with a 1tb solid state drive and 16 gig of ram, it is incredibly slow. Took four hours to install Logic 8 last night, I still have to reinstall logic 9 upgrade. On the White MacBooks I got both 8 and 9 installed in under an hour and a half all up.
Beeping on startup means failed RAM.
Slowness is usually caused by incompatible third-party system modifications. -

I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone. Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay. The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps. The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up. I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added. If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it. I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there. I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems. HELP.
You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day! -
I just upgraded My iMac (2009) to Yosemite. It is now crawling. I planning to do a fresh install of the operating system. This requires me to format the hard drive. I have already backed up my data. With regards CS 6 suite and Lightroom is the proper process to deactive the program and then reinstall it from my Adobe account? Any other input would be appreciated.
yes, deactivate before uninstalling.
to reinstall, you only need your serial numbers and the installation files.
the installation files:
Downloads available:
Suites and Programs: CC 2014 | CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4 | CS3
Acrobat: XI, X | 9,8 | 9 standard

Download and installation help for Adobe links
Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'. -
I have looked in the forums, and I found my "profile" folder, but the ini file and other things I was told to look for are not in it. I dont know whether deleting the whole folder and then reloading Firefox again will solve the problem and it will create a new profile or not. Can someone please help me with a step by step? Thanks!
you could try to delete/rename the whole ''C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\'' folder then. if this doesn't work, please right-click on the ''"%appdata%\Mozilla"'' folder, go to properties & make sure that any read-only protection for containing files and folders is turned off.

I had been using 3.something without any problems. After I downloaded 4.0 my troubles started. I would be reading the news in Yahoo and would click on the next page or news item and would get the message ' Oops, well this is embarassing'. Or when I would be looking for something, it would just lock up. When it would finally get to where I wanted to be, it was taking longer and longer to respond. Today, I can't even get it to open at all. Nothing else was altered or added or deleted that might affect FF.
Hope this helps.

The fact that I uninstalled Bridge and reloaded it has me concerned as to what to do next.?You need to force quit all other (real or fake) instances of the Application Manager. Instructions differ between Mac or Win.

My itunes is not showing my ipad as a device anymore, i uninstalled itunes and reloaded, the ipad showed up for awhile, as updates were happening, it then said the ipad was restarting and now it is not showing up again, any ideas?? I was trying to sync my calendar and contacts which worked perfectly last time. Now when I plug in the ipad it brings up adobe photoshop album start - photo downloader and looks like it is trying download photos as if it is only seeing the ipad as a camera. very frustrating!
Windows ONLY sees iPads and iPhones as a camera. This is nothing new or different.
When you open iTunes and connect the device, does iTunes detect the device?
Have you tried a different USB port? Restarting the computer? Restarting the device?
Frankly, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes is a bit of a drastic step as it was likely unnecessary.
