Is there a way to exit the Lion Installer back to 10.6.8?

Lion won't install (says the disc needs to be repaired). Is there a way to exit the installer and return to Snow Leopard?

strangest thing... i found my original leopard disc and restarted my macbook while pressing the option key.
i options on the HD, Lion USB Key, or Leopard on disc appeared.
i cliclked on leopard and the instal started to progress as normal. i read through all the on screen info. i was a little concerned about loosing everything on my HD, so stopped before doing the install and decided to restart.
again i held down the option key and just for the **** of it clicked on the Lion USB key.
what do u know, it installed!!!! the only issue was the time, the screen said 36 minutes, was over an hour.
but its all up and runniing and im happy again and no need to travel to the apple store!!!
hope this is somewhat helpful

recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

On my iPhone 4s, I sent a picture via email and asked to size it down. However, it seems now that the pic stored on my iphone is now forever the smaller size which is not suitable for printing. Is there any way to get the larger size back?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer

you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

Is there any way to decrease the time of backing up your iphone to icloud

Is there any way to decrease the back up to iCloud time for iPhone s-says backup will take 140 hours

How slow is your Internet connection? There's no way it should take that long if you have a reasonable connection.

Is there a way to get the old functionality back to contextual menus?

hi there, since my first post seems to be deleted, i try again.
in systems prior to 10.5, i could access a custom contextual item (including automator workflows) in the finder with a simple ctrl-click on a file and then select the item in in the pop-up menu.
now in 10.5 i ctrl-click on a file, then in the pop-up i have tio select "more" and then select the item i want.
this is very annoying if you use these items a lot.
is there a way around this ?

Non-Finder contextual menu's are in "More" for a reason. Go to any one of the Mac help sites/forums (including this one) and you'll see TONS of posts about the Finder SPOD'ing when the user control-clicks somewhere. The culprit is ALWAYS a poorly written third party contextual menu that the user has added to their system (often without their knowledge as a side effect of some app they installed). To alleviate this problem, Apple moved all non-Finder contextual menu's to "More".
While its not the best solution for those who use third party contextual menus all the time (the minority of users), it is the best solution for the majority of users who rarely use third party contextual menus.

Is there a way to download the entire installation file for Photoshop?

I'm planning on going away for a bit and the internet connection is terrible. It'd be fine for activating, but it'll take two ages and a half to download. I use an old datastick. I'm wondering if I could download it beforehand and put it on a key. I would need it for both the mac and windows.
Is there a way?

Go to: http://www.prodesigntools.com/ and search for the versions of the programs you need, then download the installers.
This would likely get you the original version of the software, not the most up-to-date versions with all the bug fixes and new camera support, of course.

Is there a way to move the tabs bar back where it was in the older version, meaning under the address bar?

When I downloaded Firefox 4 my tabs bar moved to the top and I hate it there. I like where it was in the previous version. Is there perchance a way to move it underneath the address bar again? Thanks in advance.

Right-click on a toolbar, then click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.

I don't like ff4 at all! is there any way to download the old ff back onto my computer?

Is there any way to get the firebug icon back into the "add-on" bar - it's really bothersome to activate it through the dropdowns?

not sure when this changed but the firbug icon used to be on the bottom of the window and how the only way to activate it is through the dropdowns. This is really cumbersome and I am not sure if I just missing something to make the icon show up in the add-on bar for easy/quick access?

You can activate the old icon by setting a preference in about:config or select curstomize and move the button from the top to the bottom. See [http://blog.getfirebug.com/2011/08/03/firebug-start-button/ firebug-start-button]

My entire bookmark bar is GONE and I cant even add new ones, this happened after I updated Firefox. Can I unupdate? Or is there a way to get the bookmarking function back?

I just updated to 3.6 and I cant go back a page either. It's like it cant remember ANYTHING! I really need help! I have a mac o sx. The space where the bookmarks used to be is still there but it's blank.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

HT4623 I down loaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2 but because of the streamlined look my wife can bearly see the letters and numbers on the key board because of an eyesight problem She had no problem with the old keyboard. Is there a way to make the letter

I downloaded ios 7 to my wifes ipad 2. The only problem was, with the new system the letters and numbers on the keyboard became so streamlined that my wife had trouble seeing them because of a eye problem. Is there a way to get the old keyboard back and if not how do you uninstall ios 7?

I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
