Reverting to earlier version of code base in CVS

We are currently using CVS as our version control with WSAD 5.0. Since putting in a release a couple of weeks ago, have had two occasions on which we needed to put in bug fixes. We were able to back track to the tagged version of the code, branch, apply the fixes and build the .jar files, but we have not been able to merge that code back into the Head.
What are the proper steps for going back to an earlier version of your code in the repository, applying a code change for a bug, and then merging it back into the Head of the branch?

Do you have any sticky tag? If you check out a branch, and then use the update command, it will be done into your branch.
To update (and then commit) to the Head, you have to remove the sticky tags with a cvs update -A [...].

Update 12.1.1.4 erased all my files (music, videos, playlists, everything). How do I revert to earlier version to get that back?

I opened iTunes tonight to import a CD and it asked me to update. Sure, fine, go ahead. Computer restarts after update and EVERYTHING is gone. I had 20+ videos, over 3k songs, all sorted into playlists, podcasts... it's all gone. How do I get that back? Can I uninstall the update and go back to the earlier version of iTunes? And when I plug in my iPad to sync, will it wipe everything off of there, as well??? I'm a fitness instructor, I have over a year's worth of playlists and routines that are now gone.

You're welcome . Note, though, that iTunes doesn't really keep "backup files" - it does replicate the library database (iTunes Library.itl) during the installation of an update if (and only if) that update makes a change to the database structure. The most recent of these was the transition from iTunes 11.4 to iTunes 12.0. On the basis that:
Computers tend to fail at the least convenient moment
Hard drives fail. Always. You just don't know when its going to happen
There is no process that can be 100% guaranteed not to mess with your data
creating and maintaining a backup of your iTunes library is just about essential. See tt2's notes on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for details of a suitable method. If you make frequent additions or changes to your library you should refresh the backup every couple of days - at a minimum I'd suggest once a week - and always make sure that the backup is up to date before installing a new version of iTunes. I actually use two backup strategies - one that runs automatically at 3am every Sunday morning, plus as-needed updates to a second external drive that I use to refresh two other systems that I run iTunes on.

Since installing Firefox 8 beta, can't move tabs around within the tab bar; can this be fixed without reverting to earlier version? Thank you.

Before moving to Firefox 8, I could drag and drop tabs within the tab bar to reorder them, which was very convenient. Since installing the first beta of Firefox 8, the tabs don't move. Should I revert to an earlier version of Firefox? If so, which one? Thank you for any help with may favorite browser. Tom

Tor Button addon was the cause in my case.

Saved file reverts to earlier version

I wonder if anyone has ideas about this problem...
Working all afternoon on a complicated file in Illustrator CS3, we saved regularly throughout the day. In the afternoon, the entire computer crashed- complete shut down. When we rebooted, we found none of the saves had "taken" and the file showed the previous day's work only. Any guesses what happened and how to prevent this?
Background info:
Using a Mac with OS10.5
The file is saved to a Windows XP Professional machine acting as a server
I think the machine crashed because the complexity of the file eventually took over all the iMac RAM. We have had some issues with permissions on the server, but it's hard to believe a save wouldn't actually "save" throughout the day.
I would appreciate any ideas anyone has.

Are you sure you saved to the right directory? Doesn't sound like it, so in effect you may still have the modified files somewhere, assuming you saved versions, and did not always just save "live" to the currently open file. If none of the file saves had gone through, AI would have thrown an error. At best, I could imagine the server's volume mapping being wrong or it constraining files to some vault/ special directory/ quarantine region, but that is just a far guess. It's more likely the actual docs have ended up in soem default system path on your local system...

Revert to earlier version of VI

I was having trouble with my development system running DS 2010 and LV 2010 so I copied my source directory (1.7 GB) to another computer running DS 2009 and LV 2009. I tried to mass compile but the destination systems still complains that the VIs were compiled with a later version.
Is there a way to set them back to 2009? All VIs were originally compiled with 2009 no mods to new features were made after the upgrade to 2010.
Thanks,
jvh
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Interesting. This design is so messy I hadn't considered that. The top level folder contains many files of many types including sequence files, ini files, etc. It also contains about 30 subdirectories each with their own lvlibs, Typedef subdirs, and more. The .lvproj file covers many VIs but leaves a lot out, over 1800 total. So I will probably let it run in background while I analyze new test reqs.
Thanks for the idea, I may use it yet.

Links that use Javascript don't work after I updated Java; can I revert to earlier version?

I use private messaging to communicate with my doctor. I've always clicked a link ("Private Messaging") which opened a Java (Javascript?) window that displayed my messages and allowed me to write a message. A couple of days ago a message popped up saying that an update was available. I installed the update, now that link won't work. It is very important that I be able to access those messages, making this problem urgent. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!
(I did the Java check recommended on the Mozilla website, and it shows that Java is working and up to date)

You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Firefox uses the about: protocol to access built-in about: pages that you can open via the location bar just like you open web pages.

*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How can i revert back to an earlier version of Firefox? I have had nothing but slow, slow loading eversince I upgraded to4.01.1. I hate this version of Firefox. I hate the toolbar, it's a horrible colour and I can hardly read it.

Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.

Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again!

Can I revert back to earlier version???

I did the January '08 update (1.1.3) and now I am having all sorts of problems. For starters, I have lost Wi-fi and Blue-tooth (greyed out and unaccessible) and I am sure I will find other things wrong after reading some of the forum posts in here. Rather than doing resets, etc. is there a way to revert back to the earlier version I had before the update?
Thanks,
JD

Hey All,
I did all as instructed in the articles each of you sent to me. I greatly appreciate your taking time to help out. While all other aspects of the phone continued working fine the bluetooth and Wi-fi were still greyed out and unavailable. After talking with Apple tech support (phone was less than 30 days old) they sent me to the nearest Apple store and the phone was replaced with a new (not refurbished) phone without any hassles or debates. I don't know if this is the common experience but I was quite happy with how they treated me. Despite the inconvenience of time lost due to this issue they did respond well and I am still happy with my iphone.
Thanks again for all your help, you're all great!

How do I turn off automatic save? Or How do I revert to an earlier version of my file?

I just installed Lion. I use numbers, and I wish to revert to an earlier saved version of my numbers file, as I lost data (blank sheet this morning) last night. I did not close the file overnight, but did this morning in an effort to open an earlier version of the file. How do I open an earlier version of my numbers file? Can I do this only if I make continual "running" backups of the file, or is there a way that Lion saves an earlier version a la Time Machine. Thanks much. Vince

How can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes?

I installed the newest version and it took EVERYTHING off my hard drive. A lot of it is crap I don't want on there. Can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes that only has whats on my Ipod? I tried system restore and had no luck. Thanks

A couple of posts of mine that may help you;

If your disk was wiped, presumable you will not need to worry about the library as a new blank library will be created.

Get reports content of earlier versions through ABAP code.

Hi All,
I want to get contents of report in an internal table for earlier versions.
Do we have any standard table/FM to get the report's content in our program?
To be more specific I want to know how much line of code added/modified in each versions.
Thanks.
Regards,
PK

hi pranshu,
I find your requirement very different.
i have few doubts, when u mean contents u mean lines of code or the output records of the report.
if u mean lines of code modified u want to know, u have version management where u can find the changed lines of code,since the inception of the program.
regards,

Problems with reverting to an earlier version

The update with Flash Player was causing problems, so I uninstalled Flash Player 11 and then installed Flash Player 10. But I now have Flash Player 10 Plugin and FlashPlayer 11 Active X on my computer. I am not sure how this happened, but is this OK or is this going to cause me more problems?
Have now just checked again in Control and it also says I now have Adobe 11 plug in. So I guess I am back to where I started.
I saw my original question but could not find out how to attach this question to it. Sorry.

Dear Pat,
Thank you. I have received the exact same reply from Amreso.
I thank you both for your replies. If the problem occurs again, I shall follow your advice.
I just need to pluck up the courage. I get so nervous with the computer when it plays up.
Regards
Anthony

all is as is.. bios is back to v3.10 and everything is working as it should.. my question is though; I'm pretty new to bios flashing especially reverting them... ar ethere any side effects to flashing your bios to a new one.. then reflashing it down to an earlier version?? sorta like updating to a new video card driver but it STUCKs so you go back to a previous driver.. no problems there but is that the same with your system bios??
thx in advance for answers/help

ahhh learned something new about that concerning raid arrays and bios set ups if thats pretty much the types of issues i'm fine.. cause the only thing I did involving hardware / driver changes was accidently reinstall my NIC card drivers LOL kool thanks for your help and information...

How can I revert to an earlier version of Thunderbird? 31.1.2 is giving me bugs.

Thunderbird has been working great for me for years. I'm on a Windows 7 desktop computer.
The new version 31.1.2 got auto-installed yesterday, and now I have the popup window to "Add Security Exception" happening all the time, even with different mail servers (Yahoo and Google). I can't believe that both Yahoo and Google simultaneously had their certificates go out of date. So I think the problem is in Thunderbird.
I've submitted a bug report on Bugzilla, but for now I'd just like to revert back to version 31.1.1 (or whatever preceded 31.1.2). How can I do this?

Well, reverting to 31.1.1 did not fix the problem.
''Did you bother to check why you'd get the exception prompt? There must a reason for it, and I don't think it's due to a bug.''
How would I check?
''So I think the problem is in Thunderbird.''
''What makes you believe that? This forum would be swamped with complaints if that was a general problem. The problem is much more likely on your end. ''
Since the update was very new - and I had done nothing to my knowledge that should have caused the problem, I thought that many people would be seeing the problem.
''I doubt this will fix your problem. Please state what error message you get for the Google and Yahoo certs.''
You were right. I have attached a screen shot of the error message. It's the same for both Yahoo and Google.
I don't get any other message, but Thunderbird has become EXTREMELY slow at downloading new messages.
