Uninstall Mavericks on my iMac 2007
Can I uninstall Mavericks upgrade? Due to I can no longer use iMovie without buying a new iMac. Which is not in my budget at this time. iMovie worked great before I upgraded to mavericks.
Boot from a Snow Leopard installer disc, erase the hard drive, then reinstall Snow Leopard.
Your profile shows you are using Mountain Lion, not Mavericks.

I just install maverick for my imac 2007, then I can't work with Safari and Mail,and the system now is very slow,I unplug all the external drivers ,but still slow
Mavericks requires 4GB memory. It would help to increase the memory to 4GB or 6 GB (otherworldcomputing.com), a 2 and 4 GB module. Look at crucial.com and otherworldcomputing.com for RAM prices and combinations that will work with your Mac.
Try booting into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair disk permissions and the disk. Reboot and see if there's any improvement.
Do you have any anti virus software installed? Have you used MacKeeper or CleanMyMac since upgading? Those are apps to avoid like the plague.

I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?
If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)

Imac 2007 and maverick will be compatible
With all the description of maverik, I have the impreion that my imac 2007 dual core will roon better, or this will only apply to i5 up cpu. Will I have full compatibiliy will the apps? thank!
OS X Mavericks has got the same requirements as Mountain Lion. Just open System Information or System Profiler app (in /Applications/Utilities) and check your model identifier. If it's iMac7,1 or a higher number, your computer is compatible.
We don't know anything more about OS X Mavericks, so you will have to wait until the final version is released to know if your computer will work properly. Note that this version includes a huge number of performance improvements and a better memory management, apart from OpenGL 4 compatibility and more. See > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview -
Imac 2007 maverick no airplay?
i have an iMac 2007 version and just installed Maverick.
Is it possible to use airplay to TV of the screen? if so how?
thx
WimAirPlay Mirroring needs a Mid 2011 or later iMac. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
To mirror your iMac's display to your Apple TV, you have to use an application like AirParrot or Beamer. They will work even if AirPlay Mirroring isn't compatible -
Want to upgrade from 10.6.8 to yosemite and I have a imac 2007, and enough disk space. but when trying to download, I get a "I can't" due to a list of possible issues, but how to isolate the problem?
Thanks,
josefromaptosCheck that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.
If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

Can I uninstall Maverick. Too slow
I have a new iMac which had Mountain Lion installed. Since updating to Maverick, its so slow. Can I uninstall Maverick back to Mountain Lion, and how please would I do this - step by step - appreciate your help.
You need a full TimeMachine backup:
See: OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
But it would probably better to find out what is causing the slowness.
Only, you would need to tell us more about your installition and what is not working properly. -
Hi,
I just bought a pre-owned imac 2007. The computer is rebooted/re-installed and I am now sitting with the welcome screen before me. Is there a way to pair the bluetooth keyboard and mouse at this stage or do I need a USD set to finalize the setup?
Thanks,

Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?
I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

Having downloaded Mavericks to my IMac two weeks ago, I now find Time Machine couldn't back up to the Time Machine HDD. I am using a WD 1TB External Hard drive. I understand that a number of people have lost data since installing Mavericks on their Western Digital external drives. Has anyone any futher info. Or is there a better way of backing up my computer. Thanks. Lee

I recently loaded OSX mavericks on my Imac. I now find I cannot open any Adobe products from CS5. The error message reads " to open Adobe illustrator CS5.app, you need to install a JAva SE 6 runtime. Would you like to check and install one? I try to install but get the error" download error". As far as i know I'm using Adobe Java 7. None of my CS5 suite works anymore............and i really dont want to upgrade to a monthly cloud service fee as i hate this policy with a passion.
This goes for Dreamweaver CC on Mavericks!!!!! THANK YOU!
I couldn't launch Dreamweaver CC. An error told me to install "java se 6 runtime". But when I clicked OK I got another error telling me there is a network problem! I found this forum post on CS6 products, so I tried the download link, installed java 6 and presto, it worked! Thanks! -
After installing Mavericks on an imac, Mail would not sync with my Google Apps email account. After I clicked on All Mail the program crashed and now it crashes every time I open Mail. Does anyone have an suggestions?
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I have given my iMac 2007 model running mountain lion OSX 10.8.3 to a friend and she doesn't have an external hard drive to back up would using iCloud be as good to back up files pictures etc and can I find them again if lost please.
These are the iCloud storage options: http://www.apple.com/icloud/includes/lightbox-storage.html
Also bear in mind that:
1. restoring data over icloud takes time
2. iCloud is not designed as a replacement to Time Machine. -

Hi bhcozzie,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can change the preferences for Mail in the Viewing tab to Use classic layout if that layout is more familiar to you.
