Sony VAIO Duo 13 Rolled Back from Windows 10 to Windows 8.1 (Breaks Wireless Card)

I have the subject machine (model SVD1322BPXR) and the upgrade to Win 10 was fine except for the fact that it broke the Network Wireless Card - a Broadcom 802.11abgn Wireless SDIO Adapter. While it would make WiFi connections, the WiFi continually cycled between connected and "Limited Connectivity" approximately every 30 seconds and it didn't matter which WAP I connected to. Oddly enough, the Win 10 upgrade didn't break my Mobile Broadband Module and so it seamlessly switched to using my cellular service (T-Mobile) when the WiFi was Limited - nice except for the fact that I don't have unlimited data on that plan and I didn't notice the problem right away. I tired uninstalling/reinstalling the network adapter, switching to earlier version drivers, and disabling Defender/Firewall but it didn't repair the problem and so I'm back to Win 8.1; even that process broke as I had to refresh & reinstall hundreds of 8.1 updates. Since the 'Get Windows 10 app' said everything was good to go, I went through the upgrade process even though the Sony advised against it. I must learn to remember - never believe Microsoft and I'm rather unimpressed with the reduced touch funtionality that Windows 10 brings. Anybody else using a similar model and get it to work on Win 10?

Hi markbyrn,
Welcome to Sony Community!
'Get Windows 10 app' of Microsoft probably just checking the basic system requirements https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/Windows-10-specifications#sysreqs, regardless of the drivers and other software needed.
What we recommend is to wait for the updated drivers and software first. Please bookmark this page since Sony will update this once the drivers are uploaded: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/os10upgrade.pl

Windows 10 upgrade on sony vaio duo

I upgraded to windows 10 on my sony vaio duo SVD13215PXB.After installation on booting and entering password the vaio screen comes up and flashes continuously.What do I do now?

Hi Dragancic, Just right after upgrading to Windows 10, it automatically asked me to update some driver (some are "Update for Microsoft Windows KBxxxxxxxx", Windows Defender and other update which one of them is display driver), and I'm sure they are Windows 10 drivers because the update came from Setting -> Update & Security -> Windows Update. Without these updates, we can't change the screen brightness and the automatic screen brightness did not work, NFC doesn't work, and I guess other features come from Sony Vaio duo also do not work (I did not test them).I also sure that it was not come from Win7 vaio driver (my Vaio Duo 13 came with preinstalled Windows 8.0) I also asked to update the Vaio Care but not sure it successful, still struggling.

Can I roll back from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8?

I have a surface Pro that I use for testing. I installed the 8.1 update. Unfortunately I wasn't paying full attention when it came to the point of asking if I wanted to save my personal files or nothing. I didn't notice that there wasn't a choice to save"everything
(programs)."
There's still the folder Windows.old on the C: drive and I can see all of my Program files there. My original docs are fine. I can't seem to figure out how to roll back to the original Windows 8. I tried running the 8.1 installer and system restore
but no joy.
Any suggestions on how to get back to Windows 8 or to bring my programs back? It's not the end of the world but just a PIA to have to reinstall all of my apps on the Surface. Thanks.

Hi,
Please be aware that programs should be reinstalled from their installers. It will install the necessary runtime files to run properly on your operating system.
We can retrieve files from Windows.old folder:

If you would like to get back to Windows 8, we cannot uninstall or restore directly.
For preinstalled Windows 8, you can try to restore factory settings to get it back.
Hope these could be helpful.

How to get my camera roll back from iCloud?

I restored my iPhone and now I need to get my camera roll back from iCloud..please tell me how to do that..Thank you

That's true. You can only restore complete backups.
I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
- made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
- restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
- My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
- Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

Rolling back from OIM version 11g to 9.1.0.2

Experts,
OIM version upgrade from 9.1.0.2 to 11g(11.1.1.5) need to be rolled back due to some error.
Just wanted to know views of experts.
Following steps have been completed so far of the upgrade guide [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10129/upgrade_oim.htm].
•Task 1: Identify and Prepare Oracle Database for Oracle Identity Manager 11g (Optional)
•Task 2: Use the Repository Creation Utility to Create the Schema in the Database
•Task 3: Install Oracle Fusion Middleware
•Task 4: Use Upgrade Assistant to Upgrade the Oracle Identity Manager Schema
•Task 5: Create a WebLogic Domain for Oracle Identity Manager
•Task 6: Start the WebLogic Administration Server
•Task 7: Configure Oracle Identity Manager Server 11g
•Task 8: Configure Node Manager to Start Managed Servers
•Task 9: Start the SOA Managed Server
•Task 10: Start the Oracle Identity Manager Managed Server
•Task 11: Stop the Oracle Identity Manager Managed Server
Rollback strategy:-
1. Delete extra schemas(SOA MDC etc) created during Task2
2. Restoring the OIM DB schema (of version 9.1.0.2) from backup.
3. Updating back path and variables environment with old values
4. Starting the weblogic and OIM application from old Middleware_home and OIM_HOME.
Experts,
Above rollback strategy would be enough or should i take some other point in consideration.
If you can think of any other thing please share..
Thanks,
Manohar

Yes your strategies seems fine. for dropping schema you can RCU as well.
for restore, Drop all the entities manually from oim db schema So you don't have any grant issue while importing old 10g dump

Roll back from yosemite to mavericks without time machine

I am currently a user of Retina Macbook Pro late 2013, 13", i5 with 2.4 GHz, 8gb, 1600MHz DDR3.
I faced a huge problem after updating my mac from Mavericks 10.9.5 to Yosemite 10.10, this has caused my mac to running slow, but before updating it was so smooth and worked perfectly.
- Yosemite causes my mac to be so laggy when scrolling up and down. Sometimes, it crashes all of a sudden when you are just watching a video using Safari.
- Scrolling through PDF files is so laggy
- Minimizing Apps is not as smooth as before.
My Question :
- How to roll back to mavericks/ downgrade from yosemite to mavericks? provided that i didn't not have a time machine backup. And so far i could not find any installer for mavericks in app store.

No. You need to first erase the drive then install Mavericks. Try backing up your files (Home folder) somewhere. Boot from your Mavericks drive. From it use Disk Utility to erase your Yosemite drive. Clone the Mavericks drive to the drive you just erased. Now restore your data from the backup you made.
Of course if your Mavericks drive also has a current copy of your Home folder from the Yosemite computer, then all you need to do is boot from it, erase the Yosemite drive, clone the Mavericks drive and you're done.

How to roll back from Firefox 29?

Existing thread has been closed.
I want to say that I too hate version 29. If I wanted Chrome I'd just use Chrome. The whole reason I use Firefox is that I prefer its interface and operation. At least I used to.
It's no use you telling me or anyone else that 'it's not like chrome' or that I might just not like the 'appearance'. It is 'like' Chrome and I don't like the appearance. The problem is also the ergonomics - I find it much easier to use tabs at the bottom, MUCH easier to use 'back" and 'fwd' buttons where they used to be, much easier to use square tabs, much better to have a forward button that is always present (even if dimmed) than a tiny thing you have to aim for like an archer, and that is sometimes there and sometimes not. It's much more difficult to find the tiny refresh button located in a place that doesn't suit me - why not have all the commonly used controls over there on the left where they are all in the one place and your poor overworked brain doesn't have to think "Oh yes I'm looking for the 'x' button so I'll look in the place that logically makes sense in the 'x' area" -- which sounds good, but it actually much harder than "I want a control, I'll head up to the top left where the controls are ... ah there it is".
This new layout is a triumph of overthought and a basic lack of understanding of how 'normal, non-tech' people work.
The end result is ergonomically poor, no matter what the many studies and much research says.
And why the need to change in the first place? Many of us use FF because it was what it was, and we liked it. What's with the need to change for no reason? If it works, stick with it.
The whole thing looks like a poorly thought out response to 'we need to update because other browsers look cooler/sexier/more curvy/something than ours, so let's update'.
Someone at Mozilla needs to appreciate that change is irritating in itself, requires substantial input from the user, and therefore should ONLY be used when there is a compelling reason. Which there isn't.
Gah :(

I would not recommend downgrading Firefox. Unsupported versions are not secure. You increase risks to your System and Personal data by using insecure software. When security fixes are released and publicised that also publicises the potential exploits.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Try the new design, if it does not grow on you there are ways to make it more like the previous version.

'''One of the developers recently posted this explanation'''
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/1079955 MikeDeboer] said
Each setting you see in a computer program you use requires work; when a developer wants to build something new or improve something, he or she has to go through each related (hidden) setting and test if it still works like before and do that on each platform Firefox runs on. That's Apple's Mac OSX, various flavours of Linux and various flavours of Windows, including Windows XP. This costs time, lots of it, and that amount grows exponentially with each setting that's added. This comes on top of our work to continuously fix, improve and innovate Firefox. That's why we also removed the tabs.onTop preference. Awesome community members, who were unhappy about that change, created the Classic Theme Restorer add-on. They deserve our collective hugs.

Are you having any particular problem ? We may be able to suggest a workaround.
'''Have your say. Note Firefox 29 is to some extent work in progress.'''
People helping here are mainly volunteers and users of Firefox like you and I. If you feel strongly about the new changes I would suggest you make a short comment and provide feedback on https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for the people who decided on the changes to actually see it.
Personally one of my major gripes is that the upgrade happens without prior warning of major changes, and then we are left in a changed Firefox trying to find out what works still. Sure the new features can best be demonstrated from the new version, but some prior warning with a chance to read up about the changes would surely help.

How can I roll back from the latest update - hate it!

I can't get the quick WYSIWYG bar to show up. I want my old version back. How can I roll back?

I can't get the quick WYSIWYG bar to show up.
Not sure what that means. Can't you switch to Live View or Design View ? See screenshot.
In Creative Cloud desktop app, select Filters & Versions > Previous Version.

How do you roll back from 10.6.8? Kernel Panic, etc.

Any way to roll back to 10.6.7?
A *LOT* of my files have disappeared!

If files are disappeared, and you don't have a backup, try one of the recovery tools on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html#RECOVER
And in the future never upgrade without a backup. The fact you are losing files suggests there is something else possibly damaged on your system. What's hard to know is whether it is software or hardware. One thing that causes files to disappear, is Spotlight's indexing not being complete. If you are backed up, try rebuilding your Spotlight index and rebooting. To rebuild the Spotlight index, drag your hard drive into the Privacy section of Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Privacy, and then select the minus sign below the privacy field to remove it. Watch the Spotlight menu every several minutes to see if the indexing note is gone. Once gone, reboot. Also if you are backed up, try repairing the directory*: http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
Either method is often faster than recovering your data.

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!
Brian

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).

Can't Roll back Internet Explorer on Windows 8.1?

We have had a few users download and install the Window 8.1 OS. Apparently this version forces Internet Explorer 11. Unfortunately IE 11 is having some compatibility issues that aren't resolved
when using compatibility mode. Is there really not a way to use a different version of IE on Windows 8.1?

Thanks Mark,
We are running into problems accessing the Citrix Access Gateway 9.3 with IE 11 on Windows 8.1, running into the same problem you listed, the site loads but the login boxes aren't displayed. We are also receiving an error on our SharePoint site when using
IE11 as well (Attached). It appears however it's not specific to the version of CAG:
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=339091&tstart=0
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=338862
The problem with CV is it only goes to the domain level, we have several sub domains we don't want presenting in compatibility view. This was mitigated in the past, with rolling users to a previous version of IE, until we could upgrade our internal
sites.
Thanks,
Mike T.

How do I roll back from Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 to 2014.0.0?

2014.0.1 destroys my ability to upload large files to YouTube which I need to be able to do. The functionality was fine before the new .01 which went online Thursday 7/25.
Tech Support advised me to uninstall then stop the re-install at 90%. All that did was cancel my re-install.
I can't believe they broke the YouTube upload as regards large files (greater than 1 hour, it seems). Someone PLEASE try to get back and answer this. I'm dead in the water on an important project. Thanks...
Jay

No, YouTube doesn't reject it BUT it complains bitterly that the file is not a streaming file and then it won't process it properly. An example is here: Ridgewood, NJ GONDOLIERS Act 1, Connelly Theater May 18, 2014 - YouTube
The video was uploaded using essentially the protocol but with the bit rate reduced to 8Mbps. 16 makes files of RIDICULOUS size (exactly DOUBLE) and contrary to the claims on the page describing the 2014.0.1 upgrade 8 Mbps is recommended unless you have an "enterprise-quality" connection.
I used the word "protocol" to identify the preset where PPro/AME purports to export, say, "YouTube 1080p". My assumption out of the box was that the engineers knew what they were doing. I now believe they didn't test thoroughly before foisting this off on an unsuspecting public.
Here's how I reached my conclusions. That GONDOLIERS (both acts) is a 2 hour 15 minute show. On July 4 I uploaded the full show to YouTube and one of the performers complained about the use of his name. We immediately pulled the video "private" and I agreed to wait a week or so and then re-upload. Note that the original uploaded fine and displays fine. The link I offered you goes to a video that I predict will never display at full resolution; at current time it is displaying at 360p although uploaded in a beautiful 1080p. I had originally uploaded the larger file at 16GB. YouTube complained that the format wasn't streaming, so I ran it through "MP4 FastStart" which usually cures that, but in this case it didn't. Further testing reveals that the MOOV Atom is going in the right place but I suspect it's not being written correctly on larger files, and that YouTube is having considerable trouble as a result. I then re-uploaded it to YouTube which complained, again, but ingested it...but it didn't create thumbnails (the black&white out-of-focus icon they display until processing is completed, was what came). After several hours (like Act 1 above) it hadn't gone above 360p. The original 8GB file created with 2014.0 I had to reset the MOOV Atom using MP4 FastStart but once I did that it worked perfectly.
An early troubleshooting test when I realized there was a problem was to take a 1 1/2 minute excerpt which processed perfectly. No demand to use a streaming format; no problem processing or displaying. The problem comes with files of significant size; 2 hours 15, 1 hour 15. 52 minutes worked okay.
This has NOT been a good weekend. As you read above I had managed to get the older versions of PPro and AME back on my machine. This causes other craziness (the YT full upload is going to take more than 15 hours; due to ANOTHER bug - I think squashed in the newer version - if the CC 2014 file has TITLES from the older CC version, it somehow interferes with processing. My fancy i7-4770K isn't breaking a sweat while this is happening. Usually I'm running at 99% CPU capacity and right now its about 18%. Normally if I see such a throttle-back I assume perhaps a cooling problem but I have none. It's just running beastly slow. I HATE having to work this way...and it doesn't help that it's on a weekend so I can't even get tech involved until Monday.

Possible Bug: Rolling Back from Flex3 to Flex2

My Beta expired for Flex3. I was unaware that Flex 2 users
could use a serial to extend their beta. Instead I disabled the
Flex 3 plugin and reinstalled Flex 2. After the change eclipse
essentially broke down. I had a number of errors, I wish I had
recorded them, that I assumed may have been related to another
plugin. After hours of working on this I decided to scrap my
existing eclipse install and start from scratch.
After reinstalling everything worked fine, until I installed
Flex 2. It complained that my serial number was not valid and my
trial was expired. I continued to receive errors in Eclipse. After
reinstalling the Flex 3 trial, this time using my Flex 2 serial,
everything is back to normal.
If I have the time I will try to duplicate this behavior.
Unfortunately I am a few hours behind schedule :)

I realized "result" is now being replaced by "lastResult".
But changing "UserService.getUsers.result" to
"UserService.getUsers.lastResult" didn't help.
I've tried web services that returns string or an array of
strings. Neither worked(Both worked with beta1). Must the web
service return a DOM object?
