SHUTDOWNS WITH LEOPARD WANT TO RESTORE OLD SYSTEM

SINCE DOWNLOADING SNOW LEOPARD PROGRAMS CLOSE UNEXPECTEDLY. THE AMOUNT OF TIME A PROGRAM REMAINS OPEN VARIES GREATLY. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN I AM NOT RUNNING OTHER PROGRAMS IN THE BACKGROUND. I HAVE SENT A COMPLAINT IN ALMOST EVERY TIME (DOZENS).
I DO HAVE A COMPLETE BACKUP ON EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE PRIOR TO LOADING LEOPARD. IS THERE A WAY I CAN RESTORE TO THE GOOD OL DAYS BEFORE LEOPARD FROM MY PREVIOUS BACKUPS?

I USE TIME MACHINE TO AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. I HAD A GENOUS BAR GUY TELL ME THAT IF I HAD MY HARD DRIVE BACKED UP WITH TIME MACHINE AND KNEW OF A SAVED DATE PRIOR TO INSTALLING SNOW LEOPARD THAT I COULD PROBABLY RESTORE MY COMPUTER BACK AND SHOULD RUN AS IT DID BEFORE.
HE ALSO SAID THAT "IF" THAT DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THEN I WOULD HAVE TO REFORMAT THE HARD DRIVE AND THEN RELOAD EVERYTHING.
I'M PRETTY DISGUSTED AT THIS POINT

    If your MacBook shipped with an install disc you'll have to use that. If it didn't you should be able to use Internet Recovery OS X: About OS X Recovery
    EXactly which macbook do you have?

  • I want to replace address book and keychain and safari with the info from my old system.

    In the old days of Leopard and Snow Leopard, replacing your address book with one from another computer or another user was quite easy. Likewise with Safari and Keychain, but now with Lion I can't see how to do it.

    Do you still have the old system running?
    Then you can export your old Address Book as archiv
         Address Book -> Export -> Address Book Archive
    Transfer this archive file to the new computer, delete all adresses in the address Book and import your archive.
    Your Safari Bookmarks can also be exported
         Safari -> File -> Export Bookmaks
    and reimported on the new System.

  • HT1414 i want to restore old version in my ipod touch currently ios6 i want to restore into ios5

    updated my ipod touch to ios6 now i am not able to run ios6 in my xcodeVersion 4.3.2 (4E2002), i want to restore my ipod touch to old version which i am using previously (ios5). please give me some suggestion to do this.

    Well, if you are using XCode then you are obviously a developer (or at least you should be...).  If you are a developer then you should already know that Apple does not support rolling back or 'downgrading" to a previous version of iOS.

  • I have a Seagate 3TB external hard drive and was using it with time machine on my old system with Snow Leopard and it was working smoothly. I have now upgraded to Mavericks and when I tried setting up time machine again, it did not work.

    The OS does not detect the drive when I start the system, but Disk Utility shows the disk as an external drive. I seem to be going around in circles. Please take a look at the following screen grabs for the errors I am getting.

    But When I verify The sub-partition in the Disk (disk4s2), it asks me to repair disk. When I try to repair disk, it gives me this error.

  • CSS runs at user log on with UAC, wants to restore keys, requires non-existant user as admin.

    I am not sure exactly when this happened, but I am pretty sure it happened after the last system update that I accepted from Lenovo.  Now, every time I log on to Vista (Ultimate, SP1) I get a UAC prompt, then when I accept, I end up with an OK dialog that says:
    The Client Security system keys need to be restored.  Only the Client Security administrator can perform this operation.  The following user must log onto this computer to continue: Robert-PC\Robert.
    Though I am "Robert", the X61T I am user has never had "Robert-PC" as a domain name or a computer name.  That looks like some Windows Vista default that I changed a year and a half ago when I installed the OS.
    I've tried running CSS (8.20.00023.00)  and successfully removed all settings.  I even told it to disable Password Recovery, Enhanced security, etc..  I even reset the TPM chip in the program and in BIOS.  When I reenabled after many reboots, I still get this message every time I log on.
    Any ideas how I can fix this annoyance?  I just want to discard the keys and start over, but I cannot figure out how.  I suspect even if I complete uninstall, the data will remain and show up again when I reinstall (though I haven't tried this, yet.)
    Help!

    I found a simple fix for this problem. I located Computer\user entry in the registry and changed it to the Domain\Administrator and logged off and then back on. It prompted me for my password and continued to update successfully. The registry key is "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\TVT Common\Client Security Solution\AdminUser

  • Firefox was not working properly with facebook, so i restored my system to a previous version, after the restore, firefox is not working, i am trying to launch firefox but it is not opening, please help me...

    fire fox is not starting.

    Be careful with using system restore as it only restores some file, so you end up with a Firefox installation that has a mixture of old and new files.
    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Recovery restores old system version

    I have a new laptop and want to use Setup Assistent to migrate from my old, However, here's the issue:
    - Old laptop has latest Mavericks, 10.9.5
    - New one came with 10.9.4
    So Setup Assistent refuses to work since it needs the new one to be updated to 10.9.5, However, if I continue with the setup and then upgrades to 10.9.5, I'll only be able to run Migration Assistent which is not as good (being a developer I have lots of odds and ends setup, like web server config, user accounts settings, etc, that I want to migrate smoothly).
    No worries, I thought, and booted into Recovery partition instead, erased the standard partition, and then selected to install Mavericks fresh -> Mavericks was downloaded over the internet. But here's the strange thing: The downloaded version is also 10.9.4. I tried it again, making really sure the standard default partition was completely erased, but same result.
    So it seems to me as if there is something wrong here with the version served by Apple; as far as I know, you should always get the latest system version when installing a system using internet download.
    Any ideas?
    Right now I'm forcing Internet recovery mode, i.e. ignoring the recovery partition (which of course has version 10.9.4) and downloading the recovery system over internet as well. I'll then erase the whole drive, including recovery partition, and see if that would trig receiving 10.9.5 at once, instead of 10.9.4, but I suspect it won't help.

    This should allow you to update 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 and then use it.

  • Want to restore printing system from Time Machine backup

    I reset my printing system and am hoping I can restore all the printer settings I had from my time machine backups on my time capsule. I can't find instructions for doing so. Can anyone provide details?

    B-Met wrote:
    Thanks for the reply. I read somewhere else to look for com.apple.print as well, and to restore it, but I cannot find this file anywhere on the current hard drive or within Time Machine in any of the many backups. Is it a hidden file? If so, how can I find and view hidden files?
    They're not hidden files, but they are system files. You can include them in a Finder search, but you don't need to search for them: just navigate to them.
    To get to the contents of <your home folder>/Library/Preferences inside Time Machine:
    Open a Finder window, preferably in List mode (in the Menubar, select View then +As List+ ), select your home folder in the sidebar, then +Enter Time Machine.+
    Navigate to the backup you want, either by clicking in the "cascade" of Finder windows or the timeline on the right, One of the top-level folders in your home folder is Library. Click on the triangle in front of it, then do the same with the Preferences folder that's inside the Preferences folder.
    In there, look for the com.apple.printxxx files.
    Select the ones you want (so they're highlighted in blue), then click Restore at the bottom right.

  • HT5139 I want to restore the system but keep files intact, what's recommended?

    My computer started crashing out of the blue with the use of aperture, not sure if the library is too big to handle or what. Later I realized that it's not only crashing with aperture but with anything else that's not firefox.
    With the use of aperture the computer crashes into a white background with vertical lines and a scary noise. With other programs goes into a black mode where I cannot get my background or any image back. In all cases I have to restart.
    Because I have a laptop I don't like to have the time machine plugged in all the time so my latest back up is not current. That's why I'm afraid to restore the HD from the time machine, I feel I'm gonna loose all the new info if I restart from a time machine few months old.
    Any helpful advise will be super appreciated as I need to resolve this to be able to work!!
    Thanks a lot!

    There aren't any viruses. I suggest you go the next step. Backup, erase drive, reinstall:
    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:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. 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.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall 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.

  • Restoring my System with Time Machine to a new HD without the Snow Leopard DVD

    Hi there,
    I changed my HD in my MacBook Pro to a bigger one and then wanted to Restore the System via Time Machine onto that new HD. Sadly I dont have the Snow Leopard DVD that was coming with the MacBook. Though I have another Snow Leopard DVD, that I purchased earlier for my older Mac. Now the Problem:
    When I try to Boot the Macbook Pro from the older Snow Leopard DVD it always freezes and says: "You have to restart your Macbook. Press the power button until it switches off and then press the button again". But iwill not boot from the DVD.
    Is there another possibility to Restore my System from my Time Machine Backup to the new HD?
    Kind Regards

    You can't use a machine specific OS X install disk with another model of Mac.
    It has to do with hardware drivers being on one disk and not applicable to another machine, why you get the kernel panic.
    Is there another possibility to Restore my System from my Time Machine Backup to the new HD?
    No. You need the OS X install disk.
    Choices depending on what your machine is:
    1: If your machine with the missing OS X install disk originally came with 10.6.3 or later, call Apple for machine specific replacement disks, there will be a fee of course. That's the only ones that will work.
    2: If your machine originally came with 10.6.2 or earlier, you can choose to buy the 10.6.3 retail disk from Apple online, however it contains no free iLife. It comes faster.
    3: If your machine originally came with 10.0 - 10.6.2, and you want the free iLife, then order the machine specific versions from Apple, however it might take longer.
    4: If your machine originally came with 10.5, and your now on 10.6.x via the 10.6.3 retail disk, you can extract the free iLife from the 10.5 disks using Pacifist from CharlesSoft if you don't want to buy iLife.
    You will need this disk regardless in case you need to #18 Reinstall Just OS X or #20 Erase and Install OS X or perform #4-#6 repair proceedures:
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Is there another possibility...
    Yes, once you have gotten a new OS X install disk, consider making bootable clones.
    It's software that can clone your entire OS X drive/partition (no Bootcamp or Filevaulted) to another external drive and you can easily hold the option key to boot from it.

  • Want to restore using Time Machine but lost OS X Install discs

    Hi, I have a black MacBook and have been backing up to a Time Capsule I have. I want to restore my system to how it was a few days back, because of a problem with the lastest iLife updates, but I've lost the CDs that came with my MacBook. I tried the Install CDs from my iMac, but it doesn't seem to like those. Any suggestions what I should do, or is it not possible Thanks.

    The only time I've had to resort to this was for a used computer I bought which was well out of warranty so I don't know. What I do know is that you will need to get your MacBook booted with Leopard so you can perform the restore. I intended coming back here because as I answered another post I realized your Blackbook might have been shipped with Tiger.
    If your Macbook shipped with Leopard you need the restore disk. If it shipped with Tiger you'll need to get a Leopard disk and that, I think you'll have no choice but pay full price for. If that's the case, since you are still under warranty, especially if you anticipate upgrading to Snow Leopard, you might head for the Apple genius who might reinstall Leopard for you. It would be worth checking into.

  • Source system restore - Source system does not exist

    Hello friends,
    We have a problem. Now we have a new test system QA2. From BW system source system connection was configured for older test source system QA1.
    We needed to route this source system to new system. I tried with changing RFC of QA1 to QA2 details.
    Now, when i check RSA1 source system Check for QA1, i get this error :

    I can see this source system in RSA1 in BW. However, in WE21 port is not available now.
    Please suggest.
    I do not have to lose transfer rules/PSA tables..etc.
    thanks
