Reverting back to color from B&W. (Not as straightforward as it seems)

Reverting back to color from B&W. (Not as straightforward as it seems)
I made all my adjustments to the RAW color images, which took me quite some time. I converted them to B&W by using Sync Settings – Treatment (Grayscale); just wanted to see what they looked like in B&W. My plan was to undo the last move by hitting Apple Z (Command Z). I got distracted and had to leave. A few hours later I returned, closed LR down totally forgetting to undo the last move. I’ve tried to convert them back to color but the images don’t appear to look the like they did before; the white balance isn’t the same, neither is the exposure.
Is there anything I can do to get them back to pre grayscaling them?
Thank in advance.

Go into the develop panel on your image. On the left hand side in the panel there will be a history list. Simply click on the item right below "convert to grayscale" and you will be back straight to to where you where right before you converted to grayscale.

How do I revert back to Lion from Mavericks?

How do I revert back to Lion from Maverick? Maverick does not support our server.

If you do end up needing to go the erase and re-install route because you do not have current backup to restore from, ensure that you make a clone or Time Machine copy of your current setup before doing the erase and re-install of Lion as the erase process will delete all your data.

How can I Revert back to IOS7 from IOS8?

Hi Folks,
Is there a way that I can revert back to IOS7 from IOS8 after install on both iPhone and an IPad?
I did not back up either of these devices before doing the upgrade.
I know I should always back up before any updates, but I'm hoping the fact that I did not might be of help in my case.
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW: why do I want to do this? Ever since going to IOS8 my devices have become much slower to start up and also seem jerky during operation.
I have two iPhone 4S's and one iPad

Note that what Allan is suggesting is a way to resolve your issues. It will not downgrade your software version.

Problem with itunes after reverting back to mavericks from yosemite

I can't get iTunes to open my library after reverting back to Mavericks from the beta Yosemite. It says "iTunes cannot open this library because it was created with a newer version of iTunes." It then asks if I want to download the latest version and when I click download it takes me to the app store and says that I have the latest version. Which was downloaded when I was running Yosemite. I even downloaded the latest version from the website and it still won't open the library.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Bob

I don't know which actual versions you are seeing because I don't have Yosemite. You're not really supposed to discuss any issues related to beta test versions on the open forums. I believe there is an iTunes 12 out in beta which may have been what you were running. You don't say how you reverted to Mavericks.
The underlying issue is the file called "iTunes Library.itl" Once you open it with a newer version it can no longer be opened by an earlier version. However, when you do an upgrade it makes a copy of the older version and you can rename this to make a file which can be opened with the older iTunes. However, this will not reflect any changes made to your library. Any media added will still be present in the media folder but it will have to be added to the old library.

Beta software testers are advised not to run software on their main computers, and will usually be familiar with how to restore to older versions and the working of computers. The new public beta with Yosemite is a change in behavior for Apple but of course means a lot of people want to be a tester but don't really know what that means.

I lost my color, how do i revert back to color?

i lost my color, how do i revert back to color?

It's works for iPhoto 9.4.6.
It also works for the last current non-beta release 9.4.3 - but that is what I meant be "Short of modifying the iPhoto application itself." It is a neat trick and I posted a similar set of icons for aperture, but it is somewhat risky, IMHO.
Chipncut: You will need to modify the applications bundle, and do it again and again with every software update. I simply got tired of it, after doing it a few times.
And don't even think of trying it, before making sure your backup is in working condition.

How do I revert back to Leopard from Snow Leopard?

I've been searching for days on a way to do revert back to Leopard from Snow Leopard (install Leopard over Snow Leopard).
I recently upgraded to SL and have had enough problems with applications that at this point I want to just revert to Leopard and wait a few months until I permanently upgrade.
I tried placing the Leopard install disk in and got as far as rebooting. Once it rebooted to begin installation it did this weird grey screen and force me to restart manually - it continued this in a loop until I removed the disk; which allowed me to boot back up in SL.
Is there a way to do this other than doing a full uninstall wiping all my data? If that is the only option, is there a easy way to transfer my data (Time Machine maybe or something else?)

I would transfer my data manually to a partition on an external firewire drive. Then, I would clone my SL installation to another partition of the drive. Next, I'd start up to my SL installation DVD and use Disk Utility to erase my internal. Afterward, I'd quit Disk Utility and quit the installer. Then, I use my Leopard install disk to reinstall Leopard. Since you are having app problems, I reinstall my apps using, among other things, the app disk that probably came with Leopard. Copy your data back, and you are good to go.

Need help reverting back to SL from Lion. MacBook won't boot up!!!

I am hoping someone can help with this issue. I am trying to revert back to Snow Leopard after upgrading to Lion on my MacBook, but it doesn't seem to be working. After upgrading to Lion, I found out the hard way that Quicken 2007 no longer works. Since I use this regularly, I need to at least export my data out of there to use in a Lion-friendly program. However, it seems the only way that I can do this is to down-grade back to Snow Leopard first. I have been using Time Machine for regular backups for over a year now, and my most recent backup was right before upgrading to Lion.
Here is what I have done so far:
- I booted up in Restore Mode and selected the backup on my Time Capsule that I wanted to restore from. I then selected my HD to restore to. The restore took a little over 2 hours, and it appeared to have been successful. However, upon restarting, it seems to lock up on the initial screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel.
- I then booted up with the Snow Leopard disc and tried reloading Snow Leopard, but it wouldn't let me erase the HD. I used the Disk Utility to check the HD, and it appears to be functional. For some reason, I am not able to eject the Snow Leopard disc.
- After rebooting in Restore Mode again (the Snow Leopard disc is still inserted), I again tried restoring from a backup on my Time Capsule. It again took a little over 2 hours, and appeared to be successful. However, after rebooting, it again locks up on the initial screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel.
This all took up about 7 hours of my time last night, and I finally gave up. I was able to power down my MacBook, but the Snow Leopard disc is still in it, since it would not eject.
Before upgrading to Lion, I downloaded and installed all available updates. The last Time Machine backup was done after these updates.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can successfully get Snow Leopard back on my MacBook?

OK, the install disc ejected this time. I was finally able to reload Snow Leopard successfully, however, it wouldn't let me restore from my latest TM backup. It gave me some sort of message about the case not being correct. (I guess I should have written down the exact message).
Anyway, I then rebooted in restore mode with the SL disc, and selected my last TM backup before the Lion install, and almost 3 hours later, it tells me that the system was successfully restored. It then told me I needed to restart the system, which I did. However, it still locks up on the screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel. Should I have removed the SL disc first before restarting?
Considering all of the above, it appears that there is nothing wrong with my HD, which leaves me wondering what the actual issue is?

IF you can erase, my preference at this point would to do a clean install from your SL Install disk and then in SetUp Assistant choose to migrate from your TM volume .
Maybe I should do this? How do I go about erasing my HD? When I did the install of SL, I noticed that I still had some of my old stuff (i.e. all of my iTunes music), so obviously, the HD was not erased before the install. Once I have erased the HD and done the clean install, how do I get to the SetUp Assistant to migrate from my TM volume? Will this restore everything back to the way it was before the upgrade to Lion?

How to revert back to Lion from Mt. Lion

I have a 2009 IMac. I have no problem upgrade from Lion to Mt. Lion. The only issue I have is the IMAC is very very warm, 55 degree on CPU and between 65 to 70 on GPU diod. I want to revert back to Lion which I paid and downloaded in 2011. The App store would not let me redownload again said that I have a newer system. Since I downloaded the Lion, I do not have any installation disk for Lion.

You need to first erase the hard drive:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
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 the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/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.

HT4718 Hi. Has anyone sucessfully reverted back to Lion from Mountain Lion? Was there anything i need to be aware of? Thanks

The only program i really use is M-Audio Torq Connectiv for djing. Now i've updated to mountain lion this software/hardware no longer works. M-audio arent updating this particular software so i need to revert back to lion....help!!

You can't use the Mountain Lion altered TimeMachine drive with a older operating system version, your files are trapped.
You first need to get back to Mountain Lion, and restore from TimeMachine so you have access to your files.
Next you dig through your files and get to portions that are neutral file formats, like .jpg, mp3, .gif, text, doc etc., and that will work across nearly all computers and operating system versions. You basically want to get your files/data out of proprietary 10.8 program only versions and into something you can manage importing into older versions of programs on the older operating system.
Once that is completed you want to copy all this to a external drive, if you work with Windows, take the new external drive to the oldest Windows machine and right click and format exFAT. If it's a XP machine, there is a free exFAT download from Microsoft to install and reboot first. This way you have the most compatible format for your files possible. The Mac formats exFAT incorrectly and will not work with PC's. If your never going to work with PC's you can format the drive GUID /OS X Extended Journaled in Apple's Disk Utlity. Don't format MBR/MSDOS as that has a 4GB file size limit. Don't format NTFS as Mac's can't write to that.
Once you have all your files off the machine and the external drive disconnected, your now ready to revert back to a older OS X version.
If you originally had Snow Leopard on the machine, then that's the disks you want, even if the machine came with 10.5 or earlier.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
Once that is installed, you Software Update fully to 10.6.8 where AppStore appears and you can reinstall 10.7, if it's not there or you upgraded directly to 10.8, then call Apple and order 10.7 and they will send it to you online.
Once your on 10.7 then install your apps and then access your basic files from the storage drive.
The 10.8 TimeMachine drive will somehow have to be erased so it can be setup to be used with 10.7 again, not sure how to go about this as I don't use it, it's terribly limiting for my needs.
If you used a bootable clone for backup of 10.8, you could have avoided all this mess because cloned drives are directly accessible to get at the files from nearly any operating system, unlike TimeMachine which is designed to trap and only move forward with OS X upgrades.

All of a sudden, keeps reverting back to Edge from my Wifi connection

My iphone connected to my home's wifi router no problem until yesterday. Now, I will manually have to select 'linksys' in the Wifi settings. It will work as long as I use it, but if I leave the phone dormant for a few minutes it reverts back to Edge.
Yesterday, I was driving along a road and it asked me to join a linksys network I was passing. I told it not to. Does it have that network confused with mine? If so, what can I do to reset it and make sure it automatically joins mine from now on?

It shouldn't be required to manually select a wireless network that you were successfully connected to previously unless something has changed with that wireless network.
Try a general iPhone reset first - press and hold the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the white Apple logo and then release. This can take up to 10 seconds so ignore the slide to turn off prompt during this time.
If no change and there are no problems with your router - I would try resetting the router and modem to confirm.
Shut down/turn off all computers and devices connected to your wireless network including the iPhone. Turn off or unplug your router and then turn off or unplug the modem. Wait a few minutes and then reverse the process. Turn on the modem and wait until the modem is completely reset. Turn on the router and wait until the router is completely reset with the modem and then turn on your iPhone and computer or computers connected to this network.
No change after doing so, you can try forgetting the network settings on the iPhone.
Settings > WiFi. Select your wireless network - blue button with right facing > and select Forget this Network.
Then connect again entering your wireless network password.
FYI - it is a good idea and recommended by security experts to change the default name of the wireless network from "linksys" to the name of choice.

Reverting back to Leopard from Snow Leopard.

I am very disappointed, upset and tired of finding problems with Snow Leopard after installing it on my Mac Pro Quad Xeon and will NOT install it on my 17" MacBook Pro. These are just some of the things screwed up since updating to Snow Leopard:
ADDRESS BOOK - lost phone numbers.
MAIL - Signatures have changed fonts. Copy and paste doesn't work in Signatures. Unread messages are not displayed in bold as checked. Changed shortcut to delete items in Trash.
FINDER - ScreenGrabs show drop-shadows of dialog boxes as black.
iCAL- can't edit title of events!
SYSTEM PREFERENCES - Security doesn't Load and crashes when I click on it a second time.
CALCULATOR 4.2 - Does not work!!!!! Says that version in incompatible!! WHY DIDN'T IT GET UPDATED!!!!
PRINTING - Can not print anything.
Can I revert back to Mac OS X 10.5, plain ole regular Leopard?

You cannot an install any system earlier than the system your Mac shipped with. If that was 10.6, fine.
But the problem isn't SL millions are using it with no issues at all. In other words, your problems are not SL related.
What often happens is there is some minor corruption that goes unnoticed until an upgrade and the upgrade exacerbates it.
Take the time to do some troubleshooting...
Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Let us know.

Backed up photos from iPhone 4S not showing on iCloud or iPhone 5S

Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
I recently got an iPhone 5S and most of my photos aren't appearing. I can't see them on iCloud.com, either.
My old iPhone 4S has always been set to back up to iCloud (photos included) and did so for the final time the night before I started using my 5S.
When I set up my 5S, it immediately showed all the data from my 4S (notes, reminders, etc.) EXCEPT most of my photos. It shows photos from 16 April 2014 onwards, but nothing before that. My iPhone 4S has photos right back to August 2013 which should be on iCloud.
In 'Settings > iCloud, 'Photos' is set to 'on'. The storage and backup information says 6.4GB of my backup is camera roll. So why has my complete camera roll failed to appear on my 5S?
Also, when I login to iCloud on the web, photos are not shown at all - so I have no reassurance they're backed up (despite paying for extra storage). Why is this? I have a total of 15GB iCloud storage and only 8.3GB is currently used.
Very confused - please help!

Reverting back to 08 from 09?

I have iwork o9 on my new laptop and just loaded into an oder white non Intel iMac. Now I realize it is not quite workable on that specific machine and iPhoto is sluggish and crashes. My fault for not looking at the box. I didn't realize the processor is slightly below par I need to revert back to 08. How can this be done.
Thank you

Hi Maslov,
I'm assuming two things. You want to convert your Pages '09 to Pages '08 and that you want to again use Pages '08.
With a document Pages '09 do a File > Save As, at the bottom of that screen you'll see a check box Save copy as: click that box choose iWork 08
If you want to use iWork '08 then with a licensed copy just install it. You can open your saved Pages '09 as Pages '08 documents.
Hope that helps you.
Cordially,
RicD
