Thanks for your response Damien. I need both open layers and OSM to work. The OSM plugin has just been updated and I upgraded it. I'm not sure from your response if you have both of these plugins working on 2.4 and what OS you are using.
I should have added that I already followed the instructions posted earlier this month on this list by John Harrop. I continue to get errors when using the open layers/OSM plug-in. It may be because we are using different operating systems (he's on a Mac and I'm on a PC). If anyone is interested in what happened I'll attempt to recreate what I did here. When I was using OSM/Open Layers before in QGIS 2.2 I used the tutorial posted here: http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/downloading_osm_data.html. I was able to follow it perfectly and download data for the area I was interested in (Toronto, Ontario, Canada), a database was created and I was then able to query SpatialLite for specific points/tags for a project I'm working on with my local OSM community. The files I saved in QGIS 2.2 will not work in 2.4. When I opened the 2.2 version .qgs file in 2.4 I got an error message stating that if I saved this project in the new version all functionality may be lost. I tried it anyway and sure enough it no longer worked. When I attempted to re-create this process in 2.4 using the instructions posted here by John I was able to load Open Street Map as the basemap I could not download the data. I tried loading it from the canvas (link to screen dump with error): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10032664/error%20map%20canvas.png and loading it from the map layer (link to screen dump with error): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10032664/error%20from%20layer.png If you look in the bottom left corner of the "Download Open Street Data" dialogue boxes in both screen dumps you will see that they have "0.0 MB" already hard coded. I could not remove or adjust this number. I didn't attempt the manual entry because this same issue regarding the 0.0 MB appeared again with this option checked off. As I can't get the data downloaded I cannot move forward with downloading the tags I'm interested in. Any help on either further troubleshooting the open layers/OSM issue or my original question about reverted to version 2.2 is appreciated. Thanks.

Just upgrade the plugin (plugins\manage and install plugins\ select open layers plugin then upgrade. The layers move to the WEB menu from the PLUGINS menu across the top, but other than that they are identical, and I think there are improvements in how the open layers plugin works as well - seems to be more stable. I cant tell which OSM plugin you need but I guess they will have been upgraded too. cheers From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Laura O'Grady Sent: Tuesday, 19 August 2014 6:21 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Qgis-user] Reverting to version 2.2 from 2.4 Hi all, I'm using a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I downloaded the installer (osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe) in the fall of 2013 when I purchased, "Learning QGIS 2.0" book in the fall of 2013. I only recently installed it and was slightly surprised to see version 2.2 install instead of 2.0. I assumed this would not be an issue for the tutorials I was going to use to teach myself the program. I was following one particular QGIS tutorial online through Canvas when I was required to install a package in order to complete the task. As a result QGIS upgraded to version 2.4, which broke some plug-ins (specifically open layers, OSM) that I was using. I would like to know what is the best method to complete the following tasks: (1). Remove version 2.4 and ensure there are no hooks remaining on my computer (2). Re-install version 2.2 (I'm assuming it would be download it from here: http://qgis.org/downloads/ , specifically the file QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.2.0-1-Setup-x86_64.exe, dated February 26, 2014) (3). Ensure that adding packages in the future doesn't automatically upgrade my version to 2.2 to 2.X. I can understand the generic installer I was using a few months ago to install what I thought was 2.0 actually installed 2.2 but I think I should have been asked/warned about the version change from 2.2 to 2.4. Thanks. Laura
