Again I just want install my old software.... is this possible.
thank you for your help.

Yes it's possible.
It will run a much slower speed, but yes it is possible.
I tested my FCP non UB on my MacBook before I crossgraded and the performance was much slower than the updated UB version.
It will run smoothly enough to edit.

  • I in stalled Keynote 5.2 on MacBook Pro but it won't read older Keynote 2.0 files. Is this expected, meaning I have to use old software only to present these files?

    I do not know, but it sure is expected- macs never back-compatible.

  • Can I use windows software in macbook air?

    Not directly no, .... you can use parallels or bootcamp to create a partition, and install Win7 or Win8 then load the program on same.

  • Can I use UK software on a US Macbook Pro?

    Since iDVD is gone, I figured I would just buy an old version of iLife on eBay. (I already tried out the alternatives in the App Store and they all suck.) I found a seller from the UK, but I want to make sure I'll be able to use the software on my US Macbook. Should there be any problems?
    Thanks!

    There aren't any problems specifically associated with doing that.

    Hello farahani hairon nizar,
    If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Need to revert to my old OS on iPad. Cannot. Tried using old backup but this Trojan horse type software has corrupted my ability to do so. Tried emailing but it bounced back unacknowledged. I was sent notice that I can't get support. Christmas 2012 gift.

    New OS causing major problems. Forced to purge data and wipe iPad. Now my computer has changed. My software has changed on iPad. Tried using old backup from earlier date but Trojan horse software created by Apple has decided to stay.
    Have 16gig. IPad 2 bought December 2012 for Christmas but according to Apple I am out of Apple care and would need to pay for support. When has 1 year apple care become 9 months?
    Wasted an entire day trying to purge my older computer which is linked to this iPad. I reset my iPod and ended up deleting and wiping clean but it's not factory but the aggressive 7.2 which returned. I want my old OS back. Their software has destroyed my ability to use my iPad for the purposes I intended it for.
    I don't do social media other than Pinterest and I want the fluffy stuff gone. They need to forget trying to get me into the clouds and fix this iPad so I can use it for real world applications.
    You can only keep resetting so often. There has been hardware issues almost since purchase because it crashed several times even before updated fiasco.
    Help please.

    Ralph9430, thanks for responding but the fact that they don't support AppleCare on a unit less than a year old despite being an older version is wrong.
    It suppose to be from date of purchase so their not taking responsibility for the maiming of people's computers and their subsequent arrogance in not removing it is going to their undoing.
    We have purchased iPhones, Mac Pro, iPad, iPod touches in the nano, shuffle and touch versions in the past as well as the more solid 80gig version. I
    I am still using 3G model phone and I can no longer find apps to use with it because Apple feels I don't deserve new apps. 
    My children are using iPhone 4 and my daughter was seeking to upgrade to the newest model when it becomes available. They are social, I am not and I deserve the software I paid for. It should always be an option.
    I can tell you that this particular oversight is causing me to look elsewhere for future purchases and  I will not be recommending Apple to others as I have in the past.

  • Am getting message that scanner is not compatible with my macbook and to use twain software. Any suggestions?

    Need help with downloading driver for scanner . Have HP M1005 MFP. Am getting message to use twain software. Any suggestions?

    Your  HP M1005 MFP all in one is too old and unsupported for 10.8.5
    HP's site says that OS X 10.3 and 10.4 are supported. It does not, repeat, does NOT mention 10.5 much less newer.
    Also there is no patch support for same on the last resort:
    http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-HEWLETT-PACKARD
    Nothing on earth is as aggravating as twain drivers for scanners.  Ive installed every make and model on PC and Mac, and theyre all  hair-pulling-worthy.

  • If I update from OS X 4.1 to OS X 6.8 will I be able to run software I was using on my defunct MacBook Pro running OS X 8?

    If I update from OS X 4.1 to OS X 6.8 will I be able to run various software I was using on my defunct MacBook Pro running OS X 8?

    It depends on whether or not the program supports 10.6.8. Some commercial software may need to be reinstalled from the original media/downloads.

  • Can I use a software of Adobe for creating CD covers having installed Adobe CS5 on my MacBook Pro?

    Can I use a software of Adobe for creating CD covers having installed Adobe CS5 on my MacBook Pro?

    If I go to a copy shop to print the covers (double-sided for a slim case of DVD) it would make sense to have two covers on one page in A4 and they should be on the right place so that the two backsides of the covers are at the back of the front of the covers printing the page in A4 double sided.
    Is this possible to do that if I choose the right size of the covers and save the picture (in jpeg or better as pdf file)?

    For large amounts of text Photoshop is not the best choice.
    But you can certainly create Type Layers – select the Type Tool (T) and create Point Text by clicking onto the Canvas or Paragraph Text by click-dragging on the Canvas.

  • Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

    Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate? 

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Read the system requirements for the programs you listed. Match them against the specifications of the machine you propose to buy. The more RAM the better, your hard drive size requirements and video card specicications may require the upgraded, not base, model or may eliminate the MBA as a platform.

    Hello there! I have a 2nd generation Ipod and right now I cannot use a lot of app because of its old software. Is there a way to solve it?

    Only by purchasing a newer model iPod.
    To more easily find compatible apps for your 2G
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
