  • How to restore a previous version of Media Encoder?

    Hello

    I'm under Premiere Pro version 2015.2 (and the equivalent hearing version). I am in the middle of a project and do not want to update to 2015.3 to avoid any unexpected problems that everything worked without problems.

    I then updated After Effects 2015.3, but this has also updated Media Encoder at the same version and so creation and Media Encoder no longer communicate (I can't export first to Media Encoder now, versions get out of sync).

    So I uninstalled both After Effects and Media Encoder. Please can someone TELL HOW CAN I INSTALL THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS of AFTER EFFECTS and MEDIA ENCODER (2015.2)?

    Any help much appreciated. I'm now stuck with no Media Encoder and cannot export in Premier Pro

    Duncan

    It has figured out now - there was a "view previous versions" button in one of the drop-down lists in the office application that I had not seen before.

    Export from Premiere Pro via Media Encoder works again for me, now that I have 2015,2 versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects and Media Encoder installed.

  • How to restore a previous version of Safari?

    I have an old iMac with the Lion, 10.7.5 operating system. It uses Safari version 6.1.6. I recently downloaded a new version of Safari, but now I get a message that my operating system is too old to deal with. The operating system upgrade is not an option because of the age of the Mac. So I would go back to the previous Safari, the 6.1.6 but cannot find a way to do it. I tried to use time Machine, but it doesn't allow me to restore because of this new impractical version of Safari. Does anyone have any advice on how I can go back to my old version of Safari?

    To reinstall Safari, you'll need to reinstall Lion.  They get together in the package, so an update means that you update the other.  If you want to revert to an earlier version of Safari, you need to reinstall the operating system version of the Safari CAME with.

    You need to reinstall the correct version of Vista Home Premium.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How to restore a previous state of windows?

    I have Windows 7, 64-bit, and yesterday, I followed the instructions to calibrate the screen in the control panel-> display-> screen calibrate. Since I did, one of my programs have behaved unfortunately unusual. I found someone else who had the same problem, which was solved by an update of the graphics driver, but however much time I install any graphical driver, the problem persists.

    How to cancel the calibration of the screen?

    Thank you for contributing. However, when I followed the instructions of system restore, I became quite skeptical as calibration seems to be no part of something in there.

    However, on another forum, someone told me that it is possible to cancel calibration, I did, and that solved the problem!

    Solution:

    1 Panel of-->--> Advanced color management-> stand out the parameter "use windows display calibration.

    2. always in the Advanced tab, press system to change standards, select the display device and remove all visible profiles that are attached to it.

  • Back to the previous version of Windows.

    When I install Windows Tech Preview, it will erase Windows 8 or keep it in the disk hard where I want to install Windows 8 of my hard drive.

    If you install Windows 8 a upgrade, you can use the restore feature.

    How to recover / restore your previous version of Windows by using the restore feature

    Points to remember:

    Given that Microsoft made available the first version of the preliminary version of Windows 10 in early October 2014, there was a misunderstanding that this is not a product you use to replace a facility for production of Windows such as Windows 8 or 7 or Vista. On the other hand, if you test it on one machine, the best recommendation is to create a partition or have a spare ready hard drive where you can install it. Windows 10 in its current state of the pre-release will expire, and at the same time, it's unfinished work. So if you need to evaluate it, the best way is by installing it next to your commercial installation of Windows.

    Benefits

    The benefits of testing 10 Windows on a physical partition or hard disk compared to a Virtual Machine include full access to the material, which includes memory, graphics and input/output of the local disk performance can take full advantage of all the features of the operating system that are not accessible in a virtual environment. The biggest advantage is, you do not lose your production facility in Windows and you can restart it at any time.

    Points to consider before:

    Backup your current Windows installation. Because you're going to make changes on your computer, you should always back up before doing so. It is strongly recommended! See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

  • Restore a previous version of Camera RAW

    I'm having trouble finding information on how to restore a previous version of Camera RAW. After you have uninstalled PS and Bridge, The Creative Cloud App shows still Camera RAW CC as installed and 'updated '; the uninstall option is grayed out. I don't see Camera RAW in my applications folder so I don't know if it is still on my machine.

    Also, if I install PS/bridge CC 2015 16.0/6.0 will I have the same version of Camera Raw or he will force me to use 9.6.1?

    Changes made to the most recent version removed some features of the save options that I used regularly - size the picture and save the preset. Why in the world were these deleted options! This version also has frequently freezes when you select an additional file naming attribute requires a force which results in losing all the adjustments made nearby.

    Any help would be appreciated.
