Want old operating system back
I have an iPad 2., which I have loved. Caused me to switch over to all Apple products. I foolishly updated to iOS 8.0.2, and have encountered constant frustrations ever since. I tried to go back to iOS 7, but it is no longer available. From what I understand, I can pay to get this. Very frustrated with Apple. Why should I have to pay to fix a problem they created? Thinking so switching back to Android if this is the post Steve Jobs way of doing business. Any ideas on how to go back to old operating system withou having to pay for it?
Whoever told you you needed to pay to go back is mistaken. There is no supported way to roll back iOS updates. There never has been even if you pay.
If you are having issues with iOS 8 what have you attempted to try to fix them?
Try these basic troubleshooting steps if you haven't already:
1. Reset the iPad. Hold down the home and power/sleep buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
If this does not solve the issues:
2. Reset Settings. Settings->General->Reset->Reset all Settings. The iPad Should reboot.
If this still does not fix the issues
3. Restore the iPad to Factory Condition. This should refresh the iOS installation and is known to clear out many bugs and glitches.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G. My son updated the software with Icloud. I do not like it, it drains my battery. How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud). Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well. It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.
Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
As for icloud, go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
As for battery drain...
Look through this...

Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh: turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
Also try a reboot: press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go. -

I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back
I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way. -
What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?
Make sure your apps are updated. You might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads - Updates = "On".
You cannot go back to an old operating system. -
i just had my old operating system reinstalled after a breakdown, and now i can't save pages documents. i don't know how to install word.
What was your old system?
What is your new System?
What version of Pages?
How did you install it?
I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

Hi,
Im a new Mac user. I currently just bought a new MacBook Pro. The first computer I got apparently had a problem with the flex, so I had to go change it for a new one. The first one had the latest operating system, the second one the store gave me didn't, yet it's still a brand new computer, so I don't see why I should have to pay for the new operating system, which should already come with my brand new computer. So I am trying to contact apple so they may give me permission to download it from the app store for free, due to this inconvenience and first bad experience. The vendor tells me that sometimes new computers may come with old operating systems because they're from an old batch of new computers. Oh and by the way, I'm from Honduras, and bought it at Jetstereo, in Tegucigalpa (the capital). This store is a licensed distributor.
Hope someone can help me,

Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?
Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.
System requirements are found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575

5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store. It does not have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it! Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc. This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest. I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences? Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't? Thanks.
There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
There is no difference other than a 40 min. download. -
I cannot get the operating system back on
after erasing everything off my macbook pro I cannot get the operating system back on. It says my machine cannot be verified.
can yout machine not be verified or can the software not be verified?
If it's the software, you'll need to download Lion again as your isntaller is likely corrupted.
If it is the former, I'm not sure.. sorry -
I have my complete computer using Lion backed up on the time machine. Then I installed Mountain lion. I do not like it at all. Is there a way I can remove ML and put my old Lion system back pin my computer?
If you have got a backup, press Command and R keys in boot and restore an old backup. You can install Snow Leopard and upgrade to Lion if you haven't got the backup

Since I downloaded the new iOS 7, my battery keeps loosing its charge. How do I go back to the previous iOS operating system?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

An upgrade was sent to my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone on 3/27/15 and it ruined my phone. I no longer have the ability to Wi-Fi. When I swipe the phone on there is a clicking sound and the scree goes directly to my keypad. I want the phone to go to my home screen like it did before. My apps that had a black background now have a white background which is impossible to see outdoors. I want the black background back for settings, clock, and calculator. Samsung tech support says this stuff is default with the new upgrade. How do I revert back to the version I had before without having to put the phone back to factory settings and lose all my pictures, memos and other files I have accumulated over the last year that I have had the phone. I am desparate. Please help me. Send an e-mail to (removed)

Apple Id's, Old Operating systems and an app that my partner can't live without
Hi,
I'll apologise in advance, I'm less than capable when it comes to technology but I'll explain my dilema to the best of my ability in the vain hope that one you guys or girls out there can come to my rescue.
•Bought my partner an iphone 3G second hand it was going cheap.
•'Assigned' it to one of my computers at work that had an unused itunes on it and created an apple id and password on it.
•Downloaded a few apps that I thought she may like.
•All fine.
Then.......
•Partner gets new laptop.
•Downloads itunes and creates second apple id for use with said iphone.
•Plugs in iphone, loses apps on it.
•Downloads favourite apps that she's just lost.
•Particular app that she wants and has become obsessed by which I wish I'd never introduced her to has been updated and now only works with ios 4.3.
So......
•I plug her phone back into the original computer with the first id which still has the app that works on 4.2.1 to reinstall it to her phone and for some bizarre reason I can't get it back onto her phone.
In short, I'm desperate for any help getting this app back onto her phone. Please someone help!
Thanks in advance,
BertI'm all cool with that, she's done that, its just that the app she's bought isn't compatable with her operating system. Is there any way I can get old of a legacy version, i've contacted the developer and unsurprisingly they didn't get back to me. Surely there must be a way to get the app that is compatable, that's on my works machine back onto her phone?
