Revert to previous version of Excel
I accidentally deleted three columns on my Excel 2011 spreadsheet. I don't have TimeMachine installed. I was wondering if there's a way to access previous versions of this sheet. I have saved it multiple times before deleting the columns.
The normal way to access previous versions of documents is to use Time Machine. As you're not doing that, then there is nothing to be done.
If you don't have a backup, you can expect to lose files. Files without a backup are waiting to be lost. If you value your documents, then you need to back them up.
Get an external drive, plug it in, and turn on Time Machine.

Firefox 4 overwrote previous version in Applications folder, now will not run on my system. HTF do I revert to previous version?
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -
Reverting to previous version of Numbers
Is there a way to revert to previous version of NUMBERS? I am using MAVERICK and I want to go back.
You can have the iWork '09 apps be the default but still have the new apps installed. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This will also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

Hate Safari 4. How can I revert to previous version?
I can't count the ways that Safari 4 is a pain. I'll just go with Firefox if I can't revert to previous version. Any directions to get me back to the older version?
Thanks!Couldn't agree more.
As only having my macbook for less than a month starting with Safari 3, everything was a dream. Now since the update with Safari 4, i'm doing everything but enjoying my new macbook, trying to figure out why my gmail doesn't work, looking everywhere trying to figure out how to uninstall this CRAP FING BROWSER!
Thanks for already wasting 2 days of my time with this crap. I wanna smash my new macbook against the freaking wall.
As a newbie, it takes along time to figure anything out on a new system.
IM ****** RIGHT OFF!
Cant wait for GOOGLE CHROME. Downloading firefox now and starting over.
Thanks a lot for good for nothing piece of crap browser. -
I wish to revert to previous version of Firefox. Version 5.0 is not compatible with Google Toolbar
I upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and now have no Google Toolbar. I'm not sure what else is disabled as incompatible, but I want to revert to my previous version. How can I do this without losing my settings and plugins? I could not find version 4.0.1 on Mozilla's website. Only version 5.0 appears to be available.
Firefox version 4 (4.0, 4.0.1) is no longer supported.
'''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.
*Enable Google Toolbar in Firefox 5<br>http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/06/enable-google-toolbar-in-firefox-5.html
*the-edmeister posted a brief evaluation of the situation<br>https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/841736
In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see
* "'''Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars'''" <br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars
If this solves your problem then mark as solved, if there is an aspect that is not covered directly or through searching extensions on that page, or other searching that you can try, please indicate what is not covered and describe what it does and we will try to help you with a Firefox solution. Don't expect to see anything that is an exact replacement of a Google Toolbar feature. Likewise if you have additional solutions not covered others would likely want to hear about them. -
Just updated iBooks app on my iPad 4 to ver 3.1. Upon launching iBooks 3.1 briefly saw my PDF books on my Collections bookshelves then they suddenly disappeared! (Purchased Books are still present)
How do I recover all my PDF titles in my Collections?
Can one revert to the previous version of iBooks?
How can one do a selective restore from iTunes backup of iPad on PC? (Don't have iBooks running on Mac/PC)You've tried tapping on the Collections button at the top of the bookshelf to see if they are in a different collection ? If not then do you have a copy of them in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library (though PDFs aren't iTunes purchases, if you've done 'transfer purchases' whilst they were on the iPad then they should have copied over) ?
ibooks and PDFs aren't included in a device's backup, so if they aren't in your computer's iTunes library and/or you don't have your own backup copy of them then they won't be on your computer (for info there isn't an iBooks app/program for a Mac or PC). -
Can I uninstall Safari 4.0.3 and revert to previous version?
Apple updated my Safari yesterday and now my bank website says it's an unsupported browser (it was fine with 4.0.2). Also, since the update, Glims has stopped working for search engine functions.
Is there a way to revert to the previous version of Safari (I don't use Time Machine)?
Thanks.Welcome to the forums!
In future please start your own thread - it can be confusing to deal with more than one problem in the same thread!
Those who for some reason do not want to continue using the fastest, safest version of Safari (4.0.3) and want to revert back to an older version, can do so by performing an archive and install:
How to Archive & Install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
But there may be another way, BUT this is for TIGER users only:
Download Safari 3.2.3 from Apple's Download page. http://support.apple.com/downloads/Safari3_2_3_forTiger
Quit Safari.
Delete Safari
Delete the receipts file at /Library/Receipts/Safari4.0Tiger.pkg
Empty Trash
Mount the Safari 3.2.3 dmg file and install it.
Restart your Mac
Repair permissions
All should be good with Safari 3.2.3.
I am unable to verify whether this works. Try it and post back with results! -
Revert to previous version after update
How do I revert iTunes to a previous version after an update; I don't like the fact that they changed it to strictly a player-only and one cannot access things like the Radio stations, etc. any more.
I'm looking for a way to go back as well. With each new rev, iTunes becomes ever more nebulous.
I still burn CDs...but the new version makes this difficult.
In past versions of iTunes, the total time of a playlist was shown in the Status Bar and could be toggled from a rounded total (e.g."1.2 Hours") to an exact total (e.g. "1:20:23")
In 'the new itunes', the total time length of playlists seems permanently fixed ion the broad value only. (e.g. 1.2 hours).
This is terribly inconvenient if one is going to be burning a Playlist to a CD or DVD-A. Where 79 minutes would fit on a CD, 81 minutes will not.....yet 'the new itunes' will show both only as "1.2 Hours". Very inconvenient if one is now to be forced to manually add track times together in order to decide if a playlist will fit or not.
How do I get 'the new itunes' to show me a more useful total? Or has Apple now decided that we aren't going to burn CDs any longer? (Surely, by now you can figure out on your own what my opinion of that might be.) -
Revert to previous version of CS6 not happy with 12.1
How can I revert back to the previous version of Dreamweaver? CS6 12.1 is not what I need
Uninstall Dreamweaver. You can then open the Adobe Application Manager to reinstall Dreamweaver. By default, it should install the original version. However, you need to be careful when the Application Manager advises you subsequently that updates are available, because you'll overwrite the original CS6 if you automatically accept all updates without first checking what they are.
I suggest that you submit a report through the form at http://adobe.ly/DWBug explaining (politely) why you're uninstalling the Creative Cloud update. I think that sort of feedback will be useful to the engineering and product team. Alternatively, you can summarize your dissatisfaction here, and I'll pass the details on. -
Version 4.0.1 - can i revert to previous version?
hi just wondering if its possible to revert back to my previous version? any ideas? thanks for looking! (MY Phone is 3gs)
yes there is a way. i figured it out a few days ago. first download the firmware 4.0 from a site. then go into itunes with your phone plugged in AND ON (do NOT put in recovery mode).. hit shift, update. find the 4.0 firmware you just downloaded. it will take a minute but you will downgrade right back down to 4.0. when it completes, a screen should pop up saying there is a new update available (4.0.1) & asking if you want to update. CLICK CANCEL. then you're done! if you want to make sure it worked, go to your phone--go to settings-about-software. it should say 4.0. hope i helped

Using Time Machine to revert to previous version of iTunes
Hi everyone,
as many of you will know, iTunes 10.4 is very buggy (I and from what i've read, quite a few others are having problems with adding new songs to the library, in other words, they keep being deleted or disappearing.)
What I want to know is, is reverting to a previous version of iTunes simply a case of going back to an older version with Time Machine, clicking on the iTunes icon in Finder > Applications and then letting the OS do the rest, or should I first delete my existing Library and then do the Restore?
Any tips gratefully accepted.thebestofjillhives wrote:
I use a Imac desktop and online time machine backup with Mozy for my work. If I purchase a snow leopard laptop, would I be able to access the time machine backup files with it?
yes. you could access them in browse mode. control-click on TM in the dock and select "browse other TM disks". this will let you browse backups of another computer and restore what you want where you want to.
Could I clone the whole computer if I wanted?
TM does have a full system restore function but it should not be used on different model computers as it will result on a nonbootable or malfunctioning system. but you can use Migration Assistant on the original computer setup to migrate your data from the old computer to the new one.
I'm looking for a system where my computers could be portable workstations. Any ideas?
Time machine is a completely wrong tool for this. it's for backup, not syncing.
you can use some sync tools to sync some specific data folder (NOT the whole computer). the easiest is a cloud syncing solution like DropBox. or you can use and external drive with a folder syncing tool like Chronosync. -
Excel 2013 crashes when trying to open existing worksheets from previous versions of Excel
Hello
I have windows 8 and Excel 2013 on my system. I need to access previously created worksheets (in older versions of Excel), however, when I attempt to open them the Excel crashes.
The is not what I expected from getting the latest version. I telephoned Microsoft who advised that there was a compatabilty problem with no work around at this stage.
I found that the only way round it was to use an (download free) alternative non-Microsoft program
http://www.openoffice.org/ and copy into the 2013 Excel as a new worksheet. A little disappointing after purchasing the Excel .
Have I got this wrong or is there a Microsoft solution to this issue???Hi,
Try the following steps:
Open Excel 2013, and go to
File –> Options –> Trust Center.
Under
Trust Center settings, select Protected View and
uncheck all options under it.
Restart the Excel 2013 to check the issue.

How can I revert to previous version of iTunes
How do I revert to a previous version of iTunes. Just loaded the new one and I don't want to have to learn the software all over again. From what I see so far I hate it.
Also, if I can do that without destroying my library and files, it would be great!!

7.1 update drains battery on iPhone 4, can I revert to previous version?
Ever since I updated to IOS 7.1 (I can't find the version number on the iPhone itself) like many users, my battery no longer lasts 3 days, but drains at about 3%/minute, even with all the apps and location services switched off. Can I revert to the previous version please? And, if so, how? Thank you for allowing me to use the phone without switching the entire phone off 99% of the time! Thank you for any assistance that you can give me on this very frustrating problem, over which Apple is sure to lose customers!

Had to revert to previous version of Flash to regain HD in video.
I dual boot Xp and Win 7. Win 7 is fine but after updating to flash version 10.2.153.1 in Xp the high definition videos became unwatchable (herkyjerky). I reinstalled everything...drivers etc., even reinstalling XP but it was useless. As a last resort I decided to reinstall the previous version of Flash Player...or the one that I could find and it was version 10.1.102.64. Suddenly it all runs like a dream again. I realize my video cards are aging...I have 2 Asus 8800 512 gts's in sli, but they should be more than enough to play internet video easily. My cpu is an Amd dual 6400+ 3.2 ghz and that shouldn't be a problem. There is a definite problem with this version of Flash Player. I'm just glad I finally figured it out...Thanks
