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 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.

HT201364 I recently installed Yosemite from Mavericks. I find that Yosemite is slowing me down and causing havoc on my home web page. How do uninstall Yosemite and get back to Mavericks?

My two old white MacBooks run perfect with Snow leopard, but my 2011 17" i7 Macbook Pro is a dead slug with yosimite installed.
Tried the start with C held down, also with option held down. All it does is beeps at me three times, then again three times.....
I want to remove yosimite and install Snow leopard from dvd as yosimite runs worse than a Windows OS.
Can it be done, what do I need to do please?
Examples of faults, even with a 1tb solid state drive and 16 gig of ram, it is incredibly slow. Took four hours to install Logic 8 last night, I still have to reinstall logic 9 upgrade. On the White MacBooks I got both 8 and 9 installed in under an hour and a half all up.
Beeping on startup means failed RAM.
Slowness is usually caused by incompatible third-party system modifications.

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.

Switch back from Mavericks to Mountain Lion

I have tried to switch back from Mavericks to Mountain Lion, due to the battery drain problem, following the steps included in the tutorial https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6162
The problem is that when I format the HD and I click on 'Install' it appears a big screen which says 'Install Mavericks". I want to install Mountain Lion (that I have in the pendrive), or at least Lion, but I am unable to do that, there is no option to choose any other operating system. Is there a way to rollback to any previous system?
If not, would it be possible to extract the HD from the computer, format it completely (including the recovery partition) in another computer, install it again in the original computer and perform a clean install from my pendrive?
I have no external drive with Time Machine or similar.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have got a Time Machine backup created in OS X Mountain Lion, connect the external drive with the backup, hold the Option key while your computer is starting and choose the external drive. Then, select the option to restore the Time Machine backup and follow the steps. Note that your hard drive will be erased.
If your Mac came with Lion or Mountain Lion, you can use Internet Recovery by holding down Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting up. Use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive and reinstall OS X or restore the backup

Uninstall Xcode 5.0.1 from mavericks

please I'd like to know how to uninstall Xcode 5.0.1 from mavericks and only keep the Command Line Developer Tools. Thanks

PS. It turns out that the command line shims point to Xcode if Xcode is installed, or point to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools if it is not.
So, my questions are:
(1) Is there any file which belongs Xcode and it's not under /Applications/Xcode.app ? If not, I just need to trash the app.
(2) If one only uses command line tools, is there any advantage to keep Xcode installed?
Thanks again for all the help.

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 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.

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

What format do I use for mailboxes for saving prior to reverting back from Mavericks to Snow Leopard?

After three weeks and spending hundreds of dollars on Apple-certified techs, I have to revert from Mavericks back to Snow Leopard due to unbearable issues. I've got the instructions on the process, but don't know exactly what format to use to export mailboxes and contacts for Snow Leopard to be able to recognize them. Can I use Mavericks export OR do I need to use a dmlx to mbox converter program?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
LeslieT

When you have added all the list or numbered items you want, then press return to get an empty list item, and then return again to exit list format to regular paragraph style.

Can I roll back to Mavericks 10.9.1 or 10.9?

Hi,
I installed the latest version of Mavericks and it broke some stuff (instruments) which I cannot afford to have broken. Is there a way to roll back to my previous release? Am currently on 10.9.2 and want to go to 10.9.1 or 10.9.
Regards,
Mark

Just erase the hard drive and reinstall the backup you made before you chose to install. That will of course leave you open to the security breech that 10.9.2 patched.
Cheers
Pete

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.

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.

Uninstall or rather, roll back from Maverick
