Need help downgrading

Hey there,
I need some help downgrading my BB Curve 8530 to the last version that had keyboard lock. I've tried following JSanders' instructions that he posted in the keyboard lock thread but it isn't working.
[quote]
To downgrade to an earlier OS follow here:
1. Delete the newer OS from your PC by going to Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs.
2. Then download and install the older version of the OS.
5.0.0.509 for the 8520 model
5.0.0.459 for the 8530 model
3. Install the older OS to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
[/quote]
I just have some questions on the instructions. This is how I understand it:
1. I should uninstall BB desktop manager 5.01
2. Download 5.0.0.459
3. Do I completely install the old BB desktop manager, or just let it extract?
4. Done that
5. Loader.exe doesn't do anything. It just says "No Actions are required" and "Your device's software has been updated successfully"
But it still has the same version installed on the BB. What do I do?
Thanks!

No. You can leave DTM in place.

Assuming that is the version that matches your model number and has the lock function working the way you desire, then yes.

Since you won't have uninstalled it, this step is moot.

Since you never installed the device OS package (you only said that you downloaded it), you are likely still getting the prior installed OS package. Install the new (old, actually) OS package and then do these.

HT4847 I need help downgrading my iCloud plan to a 5GB free plan

I have tried to downgrade myiCloud storage to the 5GB free plan but its been unsuccesfull, can someone help me PLEASE

Because Apple requires one in your account unless you initially setup the account without a credit card.
You ca create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

Need help downgrading os on iphone 4

I have an old iphone4 from Japan, that I surrendered sim card to SoftBank Phone company... that now I have been using strictly as a wifi phone, camera, mp3 player, etc.. I recently upgraded the os to os6, not sure why, but now because I dont' have a sim card for it, I can't complete the upgrade.. what can I do?

thanks for the link and help so far... I am still without a solution unfortunately. As I mentioned in my original post, my service provider in Japan, SoftBank, took the original sim card when I cancelled my contract with them. I could try asking them to give me a new one, but really have doubts about it. I also tried to finish the upgrade with my sister's sim card from her active iphone, but that didn't work . I have no idea where to look for an unactivated Iphone4 sim card, but that seems like what I have to have in order to finish the upgrade.. another option/message I recieved during the upgrade was to have the phone unlocked in order to proceed.. is that even possible in it's current state? Thanks again, Mike

Need help downgrading bios on MSI 7025 Neo2 Plat.

I have recently upgraded my bios from 1.5 to to the latest 1B version. While there are no problems in particular, it seems to have slowed down my computer in a few programs.
I have tried flashing the bios back 1.5 (and 1.8) but Windows XP now refuses to load on either versions, giving a variety of errors from corrupt system drivers to a bad BIOS... Strangely, all is fine when I upgraded back to the 1B version - does this mean I will have to reinstall Windows from scratch to use an older bios again, or is there another way around it?
Thanks!

I had similar issues with 1B and I went back to 1.5 as well. I didn't have any poblems using Syars guide... Here is the link to the winflash guide that I used:

Need help with Mountain Lion downgrade to Snow Leopard

Recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, my daily applications do not work and i am losing patience, I need help downgrading to snow leopard, i have the snow leopard CDS that came with my mac
***detailed instructions help***
my mac specs
macbook pro 13" early 2011
My time machine
i have a backup with mountain lion, and i also have a backup from snow leopard,(my goal is to restore my latest backup from mountain lion to snow leopard)
i have backed up my files using time machine AND justcloud
My question is how, i do not want to lose any data, also is there any thing i need to be aware during this process

Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Need help in the process of trying to downgrade back to iPhoto '09...

I want to see all the exif info for my photos as I am getting into DSLR photography. This is one of the reasons I am trying to downgrade back to iPhoto '09 from '11 amongst other reasons; one being I just preferred it (and I have been using '11 since January and still want to downgrade). Anyway, this is what I have done so far:
Reinstalled iPhoto '09 from an old time machine backup in December '13 from before I upgraded late December. Then with the help of a youtube video I found I created a new iPhoto Library for '09 and was in the process of importing all my pics when 3/4 of the way through, my hard drive reached capacity and the importing quit. When I go into iPhoto '09 now, there are no pics. So I spent yesterday buying a large external hard drive and the past 18 or so hours formatting it for mac and moving files so now I have a bit more room on my internal 1tb hard drive.
So I am guessing I should next go to the newly created iPhoto library on my internal hard drive and delete all (not to mention this will free up more room on it). Then what I want to do is create a new library for iPhoto '09 on my new 3TB external hard drive and then import all the pics there. Can I create the iPhoto Library on an external drive?
If I am able to do the above and import all my pics and iPhoto '09 seems to be working properly, can I then go in and delete the iPhoto '11 app without causing problems? Am I right to believe that all my pictures, even the ones I imported to iPhoto '11 directly from a mail attachment, will not be deleted if I delete the iPhoto '11 app?
I don't want to find myself with 2 iPhoto programs, neither of which function. Thanks in advance!

You need the version of iPhoto that you wan tot use installed and then follow the IPLM directions

Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto
If you have a library from a newer version of iPhoto that you simply want "downgrade" to an older version of iPhoto, the easiest way to do that is with the "Rebuild Library" command. You will want to be running iPhoto Library Manager on the machine that has the older version of iPhoto you want to convert the library to. This will create a new library and import the entire contents of the original library into the new one using the older version of iPhoto. As with any rebuild, there are some items that will not be included (most notably, hidden photos, books, calendars, and slideshows), but if you have none of these items or don't mind losing them in the downgrading process, then this is a decent option for converting a library to an older version.

I urgently need to downgrade from Acrobat Pro DC to XI. Help?

I teach the creation of accessible PDF documents and have a new computer. I installed various applications onto it including some Adobe products.
The course currently teaches how to use Acrobat Pro XI. This will change with the release of DC but not immediately. I have a class tomorrow and need to have Acrobat XI installed. How can I downgrade ASAP?
Gerry

Hi Phil,
The licence of Acrobat DC will not work with Acrobat XI, even its not possible to downdrade the licence from Adobe Acrobat DC Pro to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro if its not a volume licence.
Option to downgrade the licence is only available for Enterprise customers i.e with volume licences, and for that you need to contact our tech support, go to Contact Customer Care page and then click the "Still need help? Contact us" button to initiate a call or chat.

Aadesh

Please Help! Need to downgrade yosemite

Hi All,
I am in need of some urgent help!
Without thinking (I know a silly mistake) I installed Yosemite OSX on my macbook pro last night.
Needless to say it has screwed my workflow massively, most of my plugins which I use in Logic x and Logic 9 are not yet compatible and I need to downgrade back to mavericks.
After researching a bit online etc it seems that I should have, in hindsight installed Yosemite onto a partition rather than over-writing my mavericks OSX, however I didn't!
Is there anyway that I can downgrade to mavericks keeping my applications and data as they were before I installed Yosemite?
I would hugley appreciate any help whatsoever so that I can get back on track
Thanks,
Dan

Hi there DJB,
Try the following link…
here: How to revert OS X back from Mavericks
It is written for Mavericks, but the same process applies. It is sooo much easier to revert to Mavericks or Mountain Lion if you have a time machine backup. You should always do a backup of your system before any major changes such an upgrading your OS.
Let us know if you are successful,
Cheers,
