Restoring to earlier version Lion

I want to restore back to OS X 10.7.5. I'm running ML 10.8.4 but Pro Tools HDX doesn't like that version of OS X.
I have the backup on another drive but I can't get the system to recognize it to restore it.
How do I do this?

Update iPhoto through the Mac App Store or download the update files on Apple's support page and your library should be fine. It happened to me as well.

IPad frozen after attempting to restore earlier version

My iPad is frozen after I tried to restore an earlier version - 20 Dec 2012 - via my laptop. I have used the on/off and centre control together to try and re-boot, but the apple returns and no further action occurs. Connecting it to iTunes via the laptop does not work as it appears the laptop does not read that the iPad is connected. Any suggestions?

Are you using iTunes to restore it? Were you getting error messages? If so, what were they?

TS3999 How can I restore an earlier iCal version from iCloud?

The FAFSA website only recognizes Firefox 4.0 or earlier versions. How can I get a compatible Firefox version so I can access the FAFSA site properly?

Is there a way to use or restore an earlier version of firefox so I can complete the FAFSA form that is mandatory for me to complete?

The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer versions. That is their choice.
*fafsa browser requirements: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fotw1112/help/beforebrowser_req.htm
'''''NOTE:''''' Support for the Firefox 3.6.x versions will be ending soon, possibly in April. Downgrading to Firefox 3.6.x at this point may be unwise to access just that one site.
You can install '''Firefox Portable''' version to use only on that site and use your installed current Firefox version for everything else. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but is based on Firefox released versions) and is not supported on this site -- has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your currently installed Firefox version settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.

The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1. I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success. Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

How do I restore from an earlier version?

I recently purchased a new iPad and in transferring data, one of my games did not load properly. I was told to restore through iTunes to an earlier version of the game, but I'm not sure of the best way to do so.

(total 5 backups records)
I want to restore backup for iPhone 4 which I done on 20/07/2014 3:00 PM. After this backup I update my iPhone from iOS 6 to iOS 7.1.2 using itunes. Unfortunately error occured during update, the iPhone reset itself and I was following the instruction to setup iPhone for few times and keep stuck at the last step. The 4 backup records shown above are the consequence of repeating setup and sync automatically (all are empty phone backup after reset).
This is the most painful iOS update for me I lost all my data in just one click.
Besides the 4 backup records listed there, I am hoping there is other ways to look for backup. Is there any?

I want to restore Firefox to an earlier version so I can use my YouTube Video Uploader - Is this possible?

You should not be updating software if extensions are not going to work any more, without giving warning! Please restore the older version so I can use the video down-loader that I rely on. I don't like the newer versions anyway.

Yeah, 1-Click has more or less been abandoned, it hasn't been working for I think a year now. You can try "Good Old YouTube Downloader" or "Grabstream" which work in much the same way, and which are both intended to be replacements for 1-Click. And they're both compatible with FF5.

Is there a way to restore the earlier color-coding format?

If there is a workaround to restore the earlier color-tag format, I would love to know it.
In the alternative, I've submitted the following to Apple and wanted to share it with the community also, in case there is no workaround and others would like to add their voice in addressing the issue:
The new single-dot color coding of tags in Mavericks doesn't work for me AT ALL.
I have been relying on Apple's full-width color coding for quite some time because it could help me easily discern—at a glance—different file versions, project statuses, and other workflow particulars—without having to read the filenames' text. In other words, it's been a convenient right-brain workflow.
The key here, of course, is the idea of "easily" and "at a glance." The new Mavericks color coding both extends and confounds my workflow—I now must do an additional visual search of any given list of files, especially because my filenames are often long (informational) and their middle section (in the column view) is likely truncated to conform to Apple's default narrow column formatting.
The purpose and point of color coding is to reduce time and complexity and aid organization. However, the Mavericks version now requires (1) doing a visual scan of an entire column of filenames, instead of a visual "grab" of whole bands of color without any need to read the filenames, (2) locating the color dots at the ends of those column lines and making sure they correlate with the proper text (left-brain/right-brain work instead of just staying right-brain), (3) making a color comparison of extremely small fields of color (tiny dots instead of full-wide bands), and (4) implementing a visual/mental check step to ascertain that that a particular color dot is the correct one. Because of the added confusion of having to do "manual" left-to-right visual placement, it becomes necessary to add the step of expanding the filenames (column widths) to get certainty.
I'm guessing that at this early point in the Mavericks proliferation you'll likely want to dig your heels in to defend and preserve all the involved and extensive work you did to produce the update, but I strongly urge you to revisit the particular design decision mentioned here. It makes it tougher for us out here using the program, and it works against your PR efforts: I'm now less likely to trust your design decisions and will be much less likely to implement future updates or champion them.
If I could uninstall Mavericks and get my previous version back, just for this one item alone, I would. It's been a mainstay feature for me, and one of the things I've lauded to non-Mac users to encourage them to venture Apple.

Downgrade Mavericks to Your Previous System
For Lion or Mountain Lion
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.
Boot to a Mountain Lion Installer app or USB flash drive installer:
   Partition and Format the hard drive
      1. Select the target volume you wish to use.
      2. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menubar.
      3. In Disk Utility select the target volume from the left side list. Click on the
          Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. Set the Partition Scheme to one
          (1) from the drop down menu. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended,
          Journaled. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
          Quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Quit the Main Menu to return to
          the installer.
Install Lion/Mountain Lion: Select install Lion or Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. .
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
For Snow Leopard or Earlier
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.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may 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/Mountain Lion files.

How can I get an earlier version of iphoto?

I accidentally deleted iphoto from my mac, and need to reinstall an earlier version then the one currently offered at the App Store that requires me to upgrade to Maverick. Any suggestions? I have a macbook Pro, that I purchased after 2011 and so the software was automatically loaded on my computer when I got it. I do not have the original CDs.

the choices are to
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
Or
Purchase an iLife DVD for the version you need - eBay and Amazon are potential sources (going to #2 for the future)

A DNG File Processed by an Earlier Version of ACR--How to Re-Process in ACR 8.4

I have thousands of DNG files processed by the ACR versions that came with CS4 and CS5. I was hoping to re-process some of them with the later ACR versions that came with CS6. But when I open a previously edited DNG file in ACR 8.4, it seems to revert to the earlier version in which the file was originally edited/processed. I made a duplicate of a file and reverted it to Default--sort of like restoring its virginity--but ACR 8.4 was not fooled; it still opened the earlier version. What to do???????

The earlier version of ACR was using a previous Process Version.
If you want the newer adjustment sliders, set your Process Version to 2012 on the Camera Calibration tab.

Using Windows 7 tried to upgrade to Firefox v4.0. Computer must be restarted to complete the upgrade. Done that 6 times. Same result. Can't even uninstall Firefox to reinstall. What to do? Wish I had stuck to earlier version.

The icon on the taskbar is not the usual Firefox one. It is like an installation one. In short, I cannot open Firefox (I am having to use Internet Explorer to gain access to the Internet), I cannot get it to install properly and I am unable to uninstall it to start again with an earlier version. Every time that I attempt to open Firefox, I get the following message: "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade [v4.0] of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I have tried that half a dozen times with the same result. I have also used system restore to get back to an earlier status. that, too failed to resolve the Firefox problem.

It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
:File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.
