Just want to go back to Mavericks, no old files needed
I upgraded to Yosemite, wish I hadn't. I mostly use this machine as a music server, can I just get back to a Mavericks machine, I don't care about data that's on there now. If need be I will transfer the music from my other machine, if I have to (although I wouldn't mind if only the music survived the downgrade)

As I said, I don't have discrete backups of this machine,
Sorry. I missed this.....
are you saying there are inherent backups created when doing the Yosemite upgrade ?
No.
See this -> How can I uninstall OS X Yosemite and return to OS X Mavericks?

Lost phone by transit...I just want my phone back
Ok so my iphone 5s which was in top condition because i went out and bought an otter box. So over time i released i started having problems with my speakers. For example: if i put my phone on my speaker the person on the other side could not hear me. So i checked my warranty and since i got the phone in January its still covered. The phone is an gold edition iphone 5s. I called apple and they sent me a box where i could place my phone in and ship it back to apple. Now i have done this many times before with my other iphones because for some reason i always get broken iphones without softwares. So i get the box on 09/13/2014 and on Tuesday night which goes to Wednesday mail time 9/17/2014 my phone is in the mail place waiting to be shipped. Now i go online 9/21/201 and see that for the service request is still on step 1. Now as i noted i have done this plenty of times before with apple and i have gotten a replacement/returned phone within three days. So since it hasnt moved from step one i was worried and contacted apple. They have no information on my phone or where it might be at all. Fedex has no idea where my phone might be. My apartment has had no returned products back to my place. So i contact apple again and apparently their customer service has no online chat you have to call. Thing is i dont have a phone and cant borrow one. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET MY PHONE BACK, MY LITTLE MIND TOLD ME NOT TO SEND IT IN BUT I DID ANYWAY AND NOW IM STUCK WITHOUT A PHONE AND APPLE DOESNT CARE. I WILL NEVER EVER SEND MY PHONE TO EVER GET REPAIRED IF I GET THIS ONE BACK. I PULLED ALL A.S IN SCHOOL SO THAT I COULD BUY MYSELF THIS GIFT AND NOW ITS GONE.
I WILL TAKE IT BACK UNPAIRED AND WILL EVEN PAY FOR THE FREAKING SHIPPING, I JUST WANT MY PHONE BACK
P.S. IVE TALKED WITH ONLINE SUPPORT AND THEY KEEP SAYING IS THAT THEIR NOT QUALIFIED FOR MY TYPE OF PROBLEM AND KEEP TRANSFERRING ME TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 10MINUTE WAITS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THEN THEY KEEP SAYING THEY ARE TRULY SORRY BUT DONT DO A SINGLE THING. ALL THEY SAY IS THAT ITS LOST IN TRANSIT.
DO YOU THINK THERES ANY CHANCE I CAN GET MY PHONE BACK????I would assume you copied the tracking number on the package? If so, simply go to Fedex (or whatever carrier it was) and check that tracking number and/or call them to ask what happened to it. And/or you do have the record of Apple sending you an email about the matter?
If Fedex (or Apple) has no record and you do not have any proof that you shipped it, I don't believe that anyone can do anything. Not sure if your home insurance would cover this - probably not, but it's worth a phone call. -
I have Os Lion on my mac book pro, im not a fan of this because i cant run many games, i have the disk for snow leopard my machine came with but i get a error saying "unable to unmount disc" when i try erase my hard drive i just want OS SL back any help?
many thanks Carl.You must boot from another drive in order to erase the system drive.
Try starting up with Snow Leopard DVD inserted and C depress. That should get you booted from the DVD. Then start Disk Utitlity from DVD and erase the disk then you should be able to install Snow Leopard.
Remember that everything will be removed from the disk when you erase it and install Snow Leopard so backup first.

only have 5c in my US account and want to change back to Australia, but my account needs to be 0. Anyway around this? I have no US credit card.
Ah. I understand now. I suspect it is the technical problem that the money keeps the account alive.
Go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - and click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store. Explain to them and see if they will help you raise a new account.
Remember, your account and means of payment must relate to the country you permanently reside in. -

i lost everything on my iphone, how do i get just my apps back. i don't care about my pics or info i just want my itunes store safari and all the other ios stuff. what do i do?
Was your iPhone hacked or jailbroken?
Which version of Cydia appears on your iPhone?
What is the exact wording of the error message? -
I have never been so upset with an application! I swore by Firefox before but now I might just go back to Safari. I'm not willing to ge into the innards of 2 computers to try and fix things. I just want to revert to the last 3 series Firefox I had before downloading Firefox 4.
Please help!
Marc-AndréSnow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc. -
I don't want to use it as a wireless network as I have the modem supplied by Optium. I want it to back up my computers.
Plug it into the main modem which must also be a router.
Put the TC in bridge mode..
Then go to the wireless page and either turn it off.. but I recommend roaming.. as the TC is much faster on the 5ghz band and backups can drag down wireless performance of the whole network.
Roaming setup thusly. ...just give the TC the same wireless name= SSID as the main router.. same security.. WPA2 AES= WPA2 Personal and the same security password.. and then the computer will simply pick the best wireless to connect to.. without creating a second wireless network.. although it is not really such an issue to do so. -
I do not want to restore my phone!
If by 'un up-date' you mean you want to go back to a previous version you can't as its not supported by Apple.
As for the error message what did it say?
If you didn't make a backup before doing whatever it is you are trying to do then your photos are likely lost. -
I had completed a back up from my old 3G phone onto itunes to then restore the info on my new 4S, however as i attempted to restore the previous back up onto the new phone it asked for a passWORD (not passcode), but it doesn't accept the password i use with Apple ID to log on, so when would i have set this password? When i first ever set up my phone on itunes? wouldn't it be the same as my Apple ID password?
Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I have a new computer , want to install CS5 and deactivate from old. Problem is my CS5 is an upgrade and needs a older version of Elements which I no longer have. Any suggestions?
you don't need the previous version that was upgraded. you just need the serial number of the previous version.
but, if you want the previous version:

I just want to go back to how it /used/ to work
Itunes 7 has been a total bust.
I've lost tv shows that I downloaded when the machine locked up on the 'processing file' stage (that took emails to allow me to enable again). It's taking forever to download 30min shows that used to download quicker than it'd take to watch the previous show (Daily Show and Colbert report) I've got crackly sound, jerky video, all on a machine that used to play the downloads fine.
I use Itunes for the TVshows moreso than the music, but until they get this truly terrible version of Itunes working, I'll e investigating if I can stop the purchase of season passes until it works.
I bought them knowing I can download and play them fine. Mid-season pass, the video's are doubled in size and causeing me problems to the level that I don't think it's worth me using this anymore.
If there was an option on the size of download, then that might be viable. If I could restrict the amount of downloads at one time, that perhaps could help. If it just worked the same way that it used to, then I'd be perfectly happy (as the new front end looks pretty enough, it's the back end of actually PLAYING the content that's broken).
But as it is, I'm having a VERY BAD experience with this Itunes7.
How defeat could be snatched from the jaws of victory like this is beyond belief.
For the reference, there's nothing else running on the machine, it's uptodate with drivers/patches/antivirus disabled. Maybe it's the processor being 1.5Ghz, but my point is that all the downloads USED to work perfectly fine, but now I have no choice and they've broken something that worked. I didn't ask for doubling of sizes and more hardware requirements. (though trying it on another, much faster machine (duo2 2ghz, 2gb ram, still exhibits troublesome behaviour.
So, I've read that there IS a workaround to get back to the old version, but I'm aghast that we need to do fairly techy things just to make our content play. What happened to Apple? Just works? Not even close.

(yes, I'm very, very annoyed by this whole incident)I think my confusion was seeing multiple Old Firefox Data folders within the same folder. You could try this:
Open your ''current'' Firefox profile folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
In the address bar of that window, click '''Profiles''' to move up a level to its parent folder. You should see your current profile folder there, and possibly others.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
Copy your ''old'' profile folder from your Old Firefox Data folder (possibly the one that ends with .default?) into the normal Profiles folder alongside your current profile.
Click in the address bar of the window showing your Profiles folder, and copy the path.
Start up Firefox's Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
(Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog. )
Click the Create Profile button, then when you get the option to choose a folder, open that up, paste the Profiles folder location, and select the folder you copied in. After finishing creating your "new" profile, start Firefox in that profile.
Is your old profile restored as you remember it?
Sometimes all this moving around of files can create issues, and if you were having problems before due to your reset, they will be back, but I think this is the fastest way to return to what you had before.
