[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1631110, member: 131855"] What problems are you experiencing? I ask because it looks like [URL="http://www.computerworld.com/article/2491102/mac-os-x/os-x-snow-leopard-desertion-rate-accelerates-after-patches-stop.html"]Apple may not be updating the security features in Snow Leopard[/URL] Having said that here is what I would do if I were going backward: 1. Backup anything important. Going backward is going to require formatting your hard drive, 2.Think for a moment and make sure the software you need still runs on Snow Leopard. If you've updated some of it recently the current versions may not work with the older OS. 3. Boot from the SL DVD format the drive and reinstall the SL.Make sure the drive is formatted with the GUID partition format. 4, Run Software Update to get SL to 10.6.8. 5. Reinstall software as needed. You can use a Time Machine backup if it has Snow Leopard compatible versions of the software. [/QUOTE]
