Hello folks.
(only for newbies like me, if you are a OSX master please don't bother reading this, as you will probably pull your hair out)
This post was intended to help some of the more unexperienced folks like myself, i had troubles finding infomations about how to go back, and i was hoping this would make it easier for people in struggle.
I'm writing this thread due to i found many people struggling with the Yosemite beta like myself. It totally ruined my system, even the smallest task would take ages. I had a hard time figuring out how to manage back to OSX Mavericks without the backup. Thats why i would like to clairify how i did, with ALL data intact.
I'm normally really careful about installing beta softwares, and i made sure to backup to my harddrive before doing anything, but things messed up the other day, and i dropped my harddrive, it broke totally, together with all backups of my computer. Yosemite was really a pain in the neck, undownloadable apps, the slowness, a controversial design and a buggy safari, so after i started to look out for a solution and go back to Mavericks, and in fact its quit simple
How to:
On boot, you will wish to open the Internet Recovery by pressing CMD + Option key + R
You will now be taken through a little apple world loading the recovery.
After the loading is finished you might see a screen similar to ones who opens by using the CMD + R on boot.
Now you just go to the reinstall OSX. Make sure it says Mavericks/Lion/mountainLion or whatever your old system was.
And there you go, all data intact, with the old system before the install.
Have i forgotten something or would you like to add something, feel free.
Nice evening lads.
