Roll back to Lion?

How can I roll back to Lion from Mountain Lion?  I recently upgraded, and lost functionallity for QB for Mac.

Sorry - QB is Quickbooks for Mac.  They indicate that QB2012 is supported for ML, but I am having portions of the program hang repeatedly following the OS upgrade.  I have a query to QB support also (in the hopes that they will come out with a fix), but they have historically been slow to respond. 
Thanks for the info. on CMD Opt R.  I will try that for accomplishing the roll back. 
As a stupid newby question - am I correct in assuming that rolling back will take me back to my prior, working state, with programs and data in tact, or will I have to reload everything?

  • Roll Back Mountain Lion

    Is it possible to roll back Mountain Lion, I am having real problems with this OS and it has virtually brought my 2008 iMac to stand still.  Subsequently loaded Adobe Elements 11 and it simply will not work wat all now.  Any assistance gratefully received!

    Then copy off whatever data you created post ML and erase the disk and restore from TM.

    Hi pitchfork,
    If you are currently backing up with Time Machine, you can revert to a previous version of the OS via the “Restore from a Time Machine Backup” option:

  • Unable to change permissions on Hard Disk Drives after rolling back OSX Lion to Snow Leopard

    Are you able to help me?
    I had several problems with permissions and a series of other serious issues after upgrading to Lion, so I did a clean re-install of Snow Leopard 6.4 (from disk), upgraded to 6.8 and still had permissions problems which I have made worse by doing what I thought made sense - giving my administration user access to all hard disks and time machine back-ups. I emphasise "hard disks" because I have an iMac 27" i7 and 250GB Flash Drive provided by Apple where I keep OSX and aplication files.  Thus the Flash Drive (FD) becomes the boot disk, not the Hard Drive.
    Changing preferences on the Apple HD (not FD) and the Time Machine Backup HD to my user name (with administration privaleges) has had the reverse effect of not giving me access to anything other than my OSX system volume on my 250GB Flash drive!  I can only see my files on the hard drives with the root user (which I have used for the first time ever to get that access).  But using the root user does NOT allow me to change permissions of either my Time Machine backup disk or the Hard drive on my iMac !  Why oh why??
    Googling for solutions suggested using iRepair to change permissions but that gives me a "boing" when I try with no effect - at least a "boing" is more feedback that the Apple Finder's response to my attempt to alter permissions in the "info" window!
    Oh! and of course I have unsuccessfuly tried the Disk Utility as well, which does come back with errors - that appear to be "safe to ignore" from Apple Support's website!
    I originally posted a slightly different message to this one to  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16955471#16955471 because it appeared to have similar issues. It appears as if my problem is unfortunately quite unique!

    So the background to this situation:
    1. The user had OS 10.6.8 installed on one volume, while his actual users home folders stored on a second volume, this is fine but can sometimes cause issues during/post upgrade to 10.7
    2. The user upgraded to 10.7 and while his home folders were still being accessed, he no longer had permission to change or modify them.
    3. The user downgraded to 10.6.4 again which broke the link for his users completely.
    4. In an attempt to change the permissions for his information he had the (common) mistake of changing the permissions of his root level of his drive, this did several things, in addition to negatively effecting his OS, it also locked the drive mount points in his (hidden) /Volumes/ folder.
    5. the steps taken to help rectify this issue:
    A. Open Terminal.
    B. TYPE:
    chmod -N /
    chmod 1775 /
    chown root:admin /
    C. Reboot computer
    D. Open Disk Utility.
    E. Repair permissions on the boot volume.
    F. Also the following commands were run on her second drive to allow him access to his stuff again:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg /path to drive/
    chmod -R 775 /path to drive/
    chmod -RN /path to drive/
    chown -R username:staff /path to drive/
    Once the permissions repair is complete the Users can be readded to the System Preferences>Accounts pane and the paths to home directories located in his second drive using the "Advanced Options..." section, but due to the time the permissions repair was going to take this step will be posted tomorrow.
    Also each user will require Terminal commands to make the permissions unique for each user: (this must be done PRIOR to the users being added in System Preferences>Accounts.
    chmod -N /
    chmod 1775 /
    chown root:admin /
    sudo chflags -R nouchg /path to home folder/
    sudo chmod -R 775 /path to home folder/
    sudo chmod -RN /path to home folder/
    sudo chown -R username:staff /path to home folder/

  • Why doesn't Migration Assistant recognize my backup disk after rolling back to Mountain Lion from Mavericks?

    I rolled back my OS from Mavericks to Mountain Lion and now the Migration Assistant isn't finding my Time Machine backups.  Any idea why this is?

    One reason may be a different computer name.  Check System Preferences > Sharing and make sure your computer name has been the same through all your various OS X iterations.

  • How do I roll back to Snow Leopard 10.6 from os X lion?

    I need to roll back to 10.6.
    Scrolling up/down is opposite of what it used to be, at least in mail.
    4 fingers in Leopard would move to previous or next email now 4 or even 3 fingers just changes size of window and shows other windows.
    VMWare fusion doesn't work under Lion so I can't get to my Windows apps.
    The screen in iSilo doesn't scroll properly.
    My slideshow maker "FotoMagico" doesn't work at all.
    I really need to get back to 10.6 asap.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    you can change the gestures back in the system prefs if you prefer it the other way as I did.

  • Roll back from OS X Mavericks ( or any newer OS) to Mountain Lion on new MacPro

    I need to know if it is possible to back rev or roll back on the new MacPro or iMac?
    Working with video production applications (Avid) would like to get new hardware platform and that would require Montain Lion for the short term with the intention of moving back to Mavericks assuming that is also possible with the same licesense?
    Final question does anybody know if there are issues with Thunderbolt through this roll back process?

    If a Mac ships with a new OS shortly after its release, it is sometimes possible for it to boot with the previous OS; however, if the Mac has new hardware, it likely has a special build of the new OS to take advantage of the new hardware and it will not boot with the older OS.
    Sorry I cannot provide specifics. You'll have to find someone who has done it (or tried).

  • I like to roll back to my old OS mountain lion system from This latest Mavericks

    I have purchase a MACBOOK PRO in 2012 for my music station at home to use PROTOOLS 10.0.
    It was working fine until I inadvertantly updated to the latest OS of OS X Maverikcs
    Now I am in troulble using my PROTOOLS 10.0, I guess PROTOOLS not ready for this new OS X.
    How can I roll back to my old OS Mountain lion system?

    Restore from the backup you made before upgrading to Mavericks.
    If you didn't make a backup there's no way to just "roll back" - you'll need to reinstall Mountain Lion.

  • How do I roll back to 10.7.3?

    I've had multiple kernel panics since I updated to 10.7.4.  I visited the Genius Bar yesterday and follwed their advice to do a reinstall of Lion. It reinstalled 10.7.4 and I've continued to have kernel panics. From looking through discussions, it appears to be an unresolved issue with 10.7.4 and the concensus is to roll back to 10.7.3.  Can someone walk me through the process of doing so?
    I do back up to a Time Machine/Capsule, which I actually suspect as being part of the problem...it doesn't seem to be working well since I updated to 10.7.4. However, it reports a back up from yesterday which would be before the reinstall but would still be 10.7.4.  The strange thing is that is reports "none" for oldest backup and appears to do nothing when I click on 'enter time machine'.
    I'd appreciate any help. Thank you in advance!

    No, not on LIon it's not (that article is from Leopard).
    The problem starts with the fact that when you erase a disk, it's treated as a different one, even if it has the same name.  But effective with Snow Leopard, a full restore is supposed to leave a "trail" that the next backup can use to determine what happened, and only do an "incremental" backup of the changes.
    You may be able to force Time Machine to "associate" the restored disk with the old backups, per #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.  You'll need the procedure in the pink box there.

  • Uninstall or rather, roll back from Maverick

    just installed Maverick but didn't think to check that the plug-ins that I use for work, are not ready to support so I've lost them... Question is, how do I roll back to Mountain Lion or earlier... Erasing the drive is not an option so please avoid suggesting this.
    Guessing it's time to go back to school again as this one caught me way off guard and feel a little bummed. Chances are that the plug-in that I need to continue working, will be available soon as the guys at Enfocus are pretty cool like that but still feel that an OS X should be beta'd to such providers so as to allow them to have an upgrade to their products in the wings... Would be a much better world in my opinion... First time this has happened  by the way and has left me answering the question as to what the **** is going on with Apple these days... Seems to me that it's only a matter of time before Apple become the thing that I hate most of all... The equivalent of a bad PC!
    Cheers in advance by the way.
    Brian (huhhuh77)

    Thanks Carolyn
    Looks like it's going to be a long winded affair and probably best left for the weekend. Still kicking myself for upgrading... Just love free stuff and hit the go button. My plug in provider won't have anything in the way of a compatible application until at least January so I'll have to take the plunge.
    Wish me luck!

  • Roll back to 10.7.4

    Is there a quick way to Roll back to 10.7.4?
    I just updated finally to 10.8.4, and most of my folders don't open? my names on folders (when open) the boxes are all blank? and im not mad keen on the Mac iMessages from 10.8 (one of the reasons I upgraded)

    You've got lots of problems not related to 10.8, but to "roll back," you would restore from your backup you made prior to installing Mountain Lion. If you didn't make a backup, then "rolling" wouldn't be the term I'd use.
    To try to solve your problems in 10.8, try booting into Safe Mode by holding down the shift key on restart. It will take a while to boot as it runs disk checks. You will see a progress bar while it boots, and then it will boot to the login screen where you will see Safe Boot in red.
    Log in and see if it works correctly, albeit slow. If it does, then some third party software is causing the problems you see (although I don't imagine you'd see problems going from 10.7 to 10.8).

  • My Ipod Classic (160G) no longer synchs completely with iTunes (93G).  Have reset and restored to no avail.  AM about to try roll back to a previous version of iTunes, which has been on auto update.

    My iPod Classic (160G) used to sync flawlessly with iTunes (93G).
    Recently, there seem to be fewer folders syncing.  In particular, it is not syncing more recent adds.  It also occassionally refuses to sync at least one mp3 downloaded from  Amazon.com, giving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50.
    I'm running iTunes version 10.7, and the software (2.04) on myiPod is current.
    I only use the iPod for music.  I have only one playlist.
    Reset and restore did not fix the problem; I'm considering rolling back to a previous version of iTunes.  Are there any other  ideas to consider? 
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    iTunes and its sync process with your iPod have been know to choke once the amount of data that needs to be transferred, replaced, or updated, reaches a certain size limit in GBs.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service installation rolls back

    Hey there,
    I've been having problems installing iTunes 9 or even 8 on my computer. While running the iTunes setup, part of the installation rolls back and when I launch iTunes after that, I get the message saying that
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    However, the installation doesn't work no matter how many times i reinstall it. I've fully uninstalled everything related to apple and used the microsoft's utility to check if they were properly uninstalled before reinstalling itunes, but I still got the same message.
    I found out that Apple Mobile Device Service was not installed and that was the problem. When i extracted AppleMobileDeviceService.msi from the iTunes installer and ran it, it rolled back too. So I used the /l*v command to create an installation log and this is the error.
    DIFXAPP: INFO: opening HKEY_USERS 'S-1-5-21-4128058654-1677487342-2165978628-1007\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\DIFxApp\Components\{9AA3828A-F852-11DB-8E29-6C6B55D89593}' (User's SID: 'S-1-5-21-4128058654-1677487342-2165978628-1007') ...

    I have recently been fighting my system to get itunes to recognise my iphone and i ran into a similar problem.
    I couldnt uninstall the old version of apple mobile device support, and installing the new itunes over the top did not seem to help either.
    But i found a work around.
    Try opening the itunes.exe install package with winrar. (www.winrar.com, its a free program) and then extracting only the applemobiledevicesupport.exe file.
    Reboot your system, run that file and then reboot again.
    It should work.
    If it doesnt, then good luck to you :P

  • Data Services job rolling back Inserts but not Deletes or Updates

    I have a fairly simple CDC job that I'm trying to put together. My source table has a record type code of "I" for Inserts, "D" for deletes, "UB" for Update Before and "UP" for Update After. I use a Map_CDC_Operation transform to update the destination table based on those codes.
    I am not using the Transaction Control feature (because it just throws an error when I use it)
    My issue is as follows.
    Let's say I have a set of 10,000 Insert records in my source table. Record number 4000 happens to be a duplicate of record number 1. The job will process the records in order starting with record 1 and begin happily inserting records into the destination table. Once it gets to record 4000 however it runs into a duplicate key issue and then my try/catch block catches the error and the dataflow will exit. All records that were inserted prior to the error will be rolled back in the destination.
    But the same is not true for updates or deletes. If I have 10000 deletes and 1 insert in the middle that happens to be an insert of a duplicate key, any deletes processed before the insert will not be rolled back. This is also the case for updates.
    And again, I am not using Transaction Control, so I'm not sure why the Inserts are being rolled back, but more curiously Updates and Deletes are not being rolled back. I'm not sure why there isn't a consistent result regardless of type of operation. Does anyone know what's going on here or  what I'm doing wrong/what my misconception may be?
    Environment information: both source and destination are SQL Server 2008 databases and the Data Services version we use is 14.1.1.460.
    If you require more information, please let me know.

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks for your reply. Here are all the options on my source table:
    My Rows per commit on the table is 10,000.
    Delete data table before loading is not checked.
    Column comparison - Compare by name
    Number of loaders - 1
    Use overflow file - No
    Use input keys - Yes
    Update key columns - No
    Auto correct load - No
    Include in transaction - No
    The rest were set to Not Applicable.
    How can I see the size of the commits for each opcode? If they are in fact different from my Rows per commit (10,000) that may solve my issue.
    I'm new to Data Services so I'm not sure how I would implement my own transaction control logic using a control column and script. Is there a guide somewhere I can follow?
    I can also try using the Auto correct load feature.  I'm guessing "upsert" was a typo for insert? Where is that option?
    Thank you very much!

  • Rolling back of Quick Pay Pre-payment and Quick Pay in case of void cheque

    Hi All
    I am facing an issue if you can help me out of if
    Here is a scenario
    a payroll manager runs the following processes.
    1. Payroll run
    2. Pre-Payments
    3. Payroll Archiver
    4. Payment Output file
    After running all these process payroll manager finds that he also has to make an adhoc payment on account of car loan of AED 150,000.
    So he runs following processes
    1. Quick pay for Car loan
    2. Quick pay pre-payments (payment made through check)
    3. payroll archiver
    4. Cheque Writer.
    Now due to some technical fault, alignment on printing of cheque becomes disturbed there for cheque misprinted.
    Payroll manager runs Void Cheque process to cancel the cheque.
    After all these processes which has run successfully, order comes from upper management to rollback quickpay for adhoc payment of loan.
    Now question is how it can be achieved.
    I tried different things as follows
    On Assignment Process results screen i queried the assignment which all the processes in descending order.
    I tried to start roll back from cheque writer but system didn't allowed to do this because of check Void process.
    I tried to start rollback from Magnetic report, system allowed to roll it back.
    Then i tried to rollback Quick-pay prepayment, system did not allow me be do it. There fore i couldn't run rollback for Quick-pay.
    There is an another thing i tried.
    On "Assignment Process Result" screen i queried assignment. Then i delete the first entry of Void cheque by using delete option from menu bar on top and saved the record. then i delete cheque writer entry and saved the record. Then i run rollback for quick pay pre-payments and ran it successfully and then lastly i ran rollback for quick pay run.
    One thing cautioned me that if I delete the void cheque entry then its history may be lost or have lost and on the other hand with out deleting void cheque i cannot proceed to rollback quick pay.
    Kindly tell me the best way to run rollback for quick pay in this situation.
    Regards
    Majid

    Bt do not provide broadband only so you need existing account holder to add broadband to phone account and then you can pay back the account holder - probably not what you want
    the 12 months advance applies to the line rental not the broadband - as I said BT do not sell broadband only you buy a package which includes phone
