Previous version of Director Movie - cannot be updated

I am upgrading my previous director movies and get an error "This Director movie was created with a much earlier version of Director. It cannot be updated".
I am using Director 12 and I think the .dir and .cst files were used pre Director 8.5. I know I should open them in 8.5 and convert and then maybe have to do this again in v12? But I do not have version 8.5. Does Adobe or can anyone offer the service of updating previous versions of my director movies? Any suggestions?
OSX Mavericks, Director 12
I have just tried to open my Director 11 but all I get is a white black screen.
kind regards
Tristan

Sorry for being a bit grumpy – I find the Director forum a bit hard to deal with, when people criticize D12.
Being able to produce iPad apps is a MIRACLE for me
But, I do understand where you’re coming from – RE: making iPad apps is NOT as easy as making Windows & Mac projectors.
How times have changed – you can’t even make a Windows / Mac projector without it coming up with so many warnings re: unsigned program / who made this? Ect… - which puts most people off.
(Rumour is that the next Apple OSX will only install apps from their app store. )
When I have more time, I’ll post some more of my ios / iPad demos.
I also understand the suicide comment (lol) – I’m working on a very expensive iPad app, which works great for about 20 minutes, then it bombs out.
If this helps >
If you make a D11.5 mac projector, and it asks for shockwave 11 to install – yet it’s not a shockwave file but a projector???
Try NOT inbedding the xtras into the projector – but have them in an ‘xtras’ folder outside of the file.
Just make sure you put all the xtras ‘you use’ in the folder!
This should fix this problem.
One of your xtras is not being inbedded? / is missing? – so director tries to find it by downloading shockwave – but when it tries, it downloads the latest shockwave 12 – when it really needs the older xtra from shockwave 11 to work.
resX could be replaced by…
if the runmode <> "Author" then
 the stageColor = the stageColor -- removes the white flash
 (the stage).rect = (the desktopRectList)[1]
 (the stage).drawRect = (the desktopRectList)[1] -- this makes the stage full screen!
end if
pom (print’o’matic) could be replaced by…
print() – move text & graphics to a flash object first!
Thanks.

My iphone 4s is no longer syncing with my computer. Why? My software on the computer IS the latest version. Iphone 4 cannot be updated due to lack of storage

My iphone 4s is no longer syncing with my computer. Why? My software on the computer IS the latest version. Iphone 4 cannot be updated due to lack of storage

What happens when you try to sync? Do you see any error messages? Which software on the computer are you referring to, iTunes? The latest iTunes is 11.1.3. If you cannot update the phone due to lack of storage, you will need to delete some content from the phone.

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

How can I revert to a previous version and stop firefox from automatically updating?

I'd like to have the ability to deny an update, some kind of dialogue box. It just went to 9.0.1 with no approval whatsoever.
The reason why is that FF main appeal is the range of extensions, having over half of them non-functional because developers can't keep up with frequent Firefox updates is frustrating beyond compare.

Hi PJ99,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]]. This will show you how to roll back to an older version.
If you want to turn off automatic updates, just take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Updating%20Firefox#w_how-do-i-configure-update-options this article]. That will prevent Firefox from updating automatically.
Hopefully this helps!

Previous version on disk for FinalCutStudio 2 update

We have two licenses of FinalCutStudio 1 installed in two PowerMac G5. One of those G5 is beginning to have problems and we are planning to substitute it.
I remember that the installation in the G5 was a nightmare because it required the previous version (4.5) on disk. And version 4.5 was also an upgrade that required version 3.0 on disk. And version 3.0, in turn, required the previous version. That first version was FinalCut pro 1.2, just for MacOS 9. Since you cannot boot a G5 in MacOS 9, you cannot install FinalCut 1.2 in that Mac.
After many hours of struggling with Apple, they sent us a disk with an installer of FinalCut pro 3 for MacOSX that didn't need the previous version on disk. But this disk is lost in action (in moving).
Now my question is:
If we buy the upgrade version of FinalCutStudio 2 for the new Mac, will it need the previous version on disk? Will we be in the same trouble again? The price difference between the upgrade version and the standard license is 800 euros. And those who sign are not akin to spend them.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot. This will help me to convince the bean counters that we are not a bunch of freaky big spenders.

I installed the 10.5 update on my Vista computer. Could not access itunes store. So I uploaded a previous version. Now I cannot access the itunes at all. I get this message:The file I tunes libray.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer

Help! I can't access anything. This all started because I was unable to get my ipod to play via USB in my vehicle.It reccognized it and saw the songs, but wouldn't play.

I have Logic Studio 9 with all the disks and serial number, I have registered my software about three years ago and I cannot find my orginal dongle version/disks/serial number .
How do I install Logic Studio 9 upgrade without them on my reformatted MAC. I don't really feel like paying out for the download version when I have all the software I need already. Can anyone at Apple help me, I need the spare money I have for Final Cut Pro.

With version 5.0.1 bookmarks are automatically updated when launching the application, which was not the case in the previous versions. Is it possible to avoid that ?

I prefered the previous versions when the bookmarks did not update automatically when launching Firefox

How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

While we always recommend using the latest version of Flash Player, sometimes problems are encountered in a new release that were not present in a previous release. If you are unable to work around these problems and they block functionality you rely on, rolling back to a previous version might be required until an update is made available. This FAQ will walk you through the steps required for reverting back to a previous version of Flash Player.
Please note that Google Chrome provides it's own version of Flash Player. For more details on this, along with instructions for using a version other than the default with Chrome, please see: Flash Player with Google Chrome.

1. Follow the steps in the "How do I do a clean install of Flash Player" FAQ, but stop at the end before installing the most recent version
2. Install the latest Flash Player ESR release.
The Flash Player ESR release provides a player with all known security patches applied.
If downloading from the Flash Player archives, please note that you will be downloading a .zip file that will contain installers for all operating systems.
Unzip the archive and navigate into the appropriate folder (you can safely ignore the folder that ends with "_debug").
Run the appropriate installer for your operating system and browser.
If installing for Internet Explorer, run the installer with "winax" in the file name.
For Windows, running the executable that ends with .exe is recommended.
When presented with the dialog that allows you to select your update method, select "Notify me to install updates".

Hey Chris, thanks for all the keeping up with us and stuff. I have an issue and i'm not sure if this was already discussed (if so sorry). Windows 8 IE 10 I'm getting an error tying to downgrade my customers to the beta. The message i'm getting is
The installation encountered errors:
Your Microsoft Explorer browser includes the latest version on the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows Update will inform you when new versions of Flash Player are available.
I have done my research and I cannot find how to fix this issue. I have ran the uninstaller multiple times and restarted blah blah all the goodies. It will not let me install the beta.
Please help..... any idea how to get beta running on hundreds of my customers machines?
The beta work's great it seems like and I wouldn't mind installing the beta on all their machines till the final release (which seems like a few weeks away)
Thanks again, Tim

How do I revert my iTunes library to previous version?

I have had horrible experience with my B/W 40GB clickwheel -- using with Windows XP. Several crashes and each time takes 20+ hours of trying various fixes to get it back up and working. This time I can't get it to restore, no matter what I try. (Only thing that I haven't tried is taking it to a Mac to restore. BTW, if I take it into a Circuit City, do you think they'll let me use the Mac on their floor to restore my iPod? I don't live near an Apple store and don't know anyone who owns one.)
Anyway, I'd like to revert to a previous version of both iTunes and iPod Updater, 6.0.5 and 2006.06.28, respectively, in hopes that that will put me back in business. But I have been unsuccessful because iTunes tells me it can't read my library because it was "created in a later version of iTunes", i.e. 7.0.1 or 7.0.2. Can I revert my library? Do I need to reinstall iTunes 7.0.2 and do something?
How can so many of us be having such horrible problems with iTunes 7.0.x (and Windows in general?) and still no fixes?? If this thing hadn't been such an expensive gadget, I would have chucked it out the window a long time ago and gotten some sleep.
Thanks for any help you can provide!!!

First, go through this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
Restart the computer when you're done.
When you get the system configuration message, click OK, and cancel the utility when it opens.
Open My Computer
Click Tools > Folder Options
Click the view tab
Towards the bottom, select the option to "show hidden files and folders"
Click "apply" and "ok"
Open:
C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Local Settings
Right click on the temp folder and click delete
Empty the recycle bin
Restart the computer
Now, go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Uninstall anything that says iPod for Windows
Uninstall anything that says iTunes
Then, open C:\Program Files
Delete the iTunes folder (if it's there)
Open the iPod folder
Delete the bin folder (if it's there)
Now, go to My Music and double-click the iTunes folder. There is a data file that is simply labelled "iTunes Library." Delete it.
Go here to download and install iTunes 6.0.5
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
Go here to download and install the corresponding iPod Updater
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060628forwindows.html
When it's done installing it should ask you to restart your computer. Go ahead and do so. Then, try to open iTunes and let it put your library back together. When it has done this, exit iTunes and go back into your system configuration utility. (Click Start > Run and type MSCONFIG) On the general tab, choose the option for "normal startup" and click "apply" and "close" and restart the computer again. This has your Windows running normally. You should be OK from here on out.

One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time.

Firefox update 10 won't open and the previous version 3.6 won't load any pages. I have done everything this site said to do. HELP?

The last version of Firefox that I had was the one before 3.6. I stopped upgrading due to it always messing up and not working right for me... whether it be due to vista, or just errors on your part. My husband decided to upgrade firefox to the newest one two days ago because the version I had was just "too slow!" Ever since he did that, I cannot get firefox to open. No matter how many times I uninstall it and delete everything mozilla on my computer then reinstall after restarting my computer, it just refuses to open. Every time i try it says that firefox has stopped working. It cant even check for solutions. I then try to click on the icon and I get something that says: firefox.exe - Bad Image C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc80.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_none_d09154e044272b9a\MSVCP80.dll is either not designed to run n windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
I have tried installing it over and over again several times, same message shows up. So i had clicked on the link to go download the previous version of firefox... what sucks is that the only version on the site is 3.6.27. I have never upgraded to this. So the second i installed that version, i now am able to open up firefox... BUT it is unable to connect. I have internet... a pretty bad ass connection. So my internet is not the problem. I then looked up how to fix that issue and did all 5 things listed under the Firefox cant load pages but other browsers can link. Still nada! I am now stuck using IE and going insane. I am on the verge of throwing my laptop out of the damn window because I have to wait 3 hours for google to load. Nothing is working for me... and it would be appreciated for something more. If i can get help with a ton of details on what to do or how to fix this issue... either version... i would greatly appreciate it. I am going nuts having to put up with IE because my husband decided to update Firefox to a version that sucks with vista!

Here is the system requirements page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older has the latest 3.6.x version, and http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ is another option.

I cannot get a pdf link to display correctly with version 4.0.1. How can I go bak to previous version? This appears to be a browser problem that does not occur for IE9.

When I click on a link to a pdf file (in an email message) using Windows Live Mail, Firefox 4.0.1 opens it as a shortcut and treats it as a pdf app. I can read the pdf file, but cannot save or print it. This is not the case if I use IE9. There never was a problem using the previous version of Firefox. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

See ''tmaca's'' post, 3rd one up from the bottom. He seems to think you can update it manually: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/822003#answer-184670
Officially though, we're still at this stage: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808 Norton product compatibility with Firefox Updates]
If you want to revert to the previous secure version, do the following. 
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
