2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

After recently downgrading back to iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone 5, I am trying to get back my apps but every time I go into the App Store it only shows the option "Open" for the apps that I had previously. The apps don't appear in my home screen. HELP

After recently downgrading from iOS 7 back to iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone whenever I go into the App Store to redownload my apps it only gives me the option "open" but I don't have the apps, therefore I don't HAve the app to open. Please help

How can u downgrade. Apple doesn't allow that. Unless your iPhone 5 is jail broken. iOS 7 isn't even out yet. There Is no way u can get iOS 7 unless it was beta. And if so beta is having some issues.

Since upgrading to IOS 8.1.2, I cannot send/receive emails from either of my Apple or Verizon email accounts. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to go back to IOS 8.1.1?

Since upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 on my iPad3, I cannot send/receive emails from either of my Apple or Verizon email accounts. I confirmed that my internet connection is working. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to go back to IOS 8.1.1?

Will Genius Bar be able to reset my ipad 2 back to ios 4 from 5.1.1 update?

Hi,
I just updated my ipad 2 last week to ios 5.1.1 from the original firmware on my ipad 2. Now having wifi connection that is intermittent. I am able to connect to my wifi and it shows a strong signal, but will stall every few min or in apps that require internet (Netflix, Facetime, etc.)
My wifi was great before the update. Is there anyway to go back to ios 4. I am not very handy with computers (I am a grandmother) but is there an easy way to go back to ios 4 or will the apple store be able to do it for me. I tried resetting my ipad, but it justs erases all my data and still leaves me with ios 5.1.1
I have been googling this issue and am just finding out now that this update to 5.1.1 was a bad idea. I saw on the other forums some of the suggestions about turning off and on router and resetting network settings on ipad. I have done all this and its still not working the way it did before the update. I am just realizing that this issue has been going on for other people for the past two months. If it helps, I am using an Actiontec router (verizon fios) with an N repeater with WPA security.
If anyone has any suggestions or links, i would be very grateful
Thanks

You cannot go back to an earlier version of iOS.
If you are having Wi-Fi problems I suggest going to some location that offered free Wi-Fi. Your library or a Starbucks perhaps. Does your iPad connect there and work well?
If your iPad works well there you can eliminate the iPad and it's iOS as the cause of your problem.
If your iPad still acts up when connecting to the other Wi-Fi sources I'd suggest a visit to an Apple store to help discover the problem. Be sure to make an appointment prior to going to the Apple store.

How can I go back to iOS 6, iOS 7 is buggy and just looks dreadful?

After using iOS7 since Tuesday, it is becoming ever clearer just how awful this update is. Beyond the icons which seem to include a colour pallette of 16 million different shades - and use all of them - iOS 7 seems to have included some changes which defy all logic altogether e.g. the volume icon which appears when you're watching videos was always transparent and unobtrusive, now it's opaque and blocks out a good share of the screen - WHY, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
As I say, how can upgrade back to iOS 6?

Apple does not support downgrading! Sorry!

I downloaded ios5.1.1 to my phone, but i dont like the new software. The face detection used in the camera jut isnt for me. So, i would like to know if there was a way to undo the update and go back to ios 5.0.1. My iphone is not jailbroken or unlocked.

Try a different camera app. Camera Plus is a good one and there are many others.

Want To Switch Back From iOS 7 to iOS 6

So, I just updated my iOS software yesterday on my iPad 2 to the latest version, iOS 7, from the previous iOS 6. There are four or five decent new features, but FAR too many that I don't like about it...
To name a few:
- in iOS 7, the user-photos screen saver that you could turn on from the "lock screen" is now gone. With iOS 7, you have to go into your photos to turn it on.... I can't stand that. I wish Apple would put it back to turning on the photo screen saver from the iPad's lock screen.
- iOS 7 now forces my photos into a grouping organization (date and location) that I don't like. The photo backgrounds all now have a white background, which is a real strain on my eyes. Why can't users choose their own iOS color schemes without polarizing photos?
- the new iOS 7 color scheme is way too bright. Especially in Photos, Notes and in Contacts. This can't be adjusted to a darker color without inverting the colors (which also polarizes/inverts the color in any photos). I also don't like the colored app "bar" at the bottom of the home screen's page(s). Why they don't make it black, or better yet, transparent?
- you cannot pinch to re-size or adjust the size of a user-chosen photo wallpaper in iOS 7 to fit your home screen the way that you could in iOS 6. In iOS 7; it will only self-adjust and save to a size that is far bigger than your home screen, and therefore completely off-center.
- as with iOS 6, almost half of my music playlists in iTunes won't copy over to iCloud/iTunes Match: I would have to recreate the playlists from scratch in iTunes Match, which- with the enormous size of my music library (300 gigs), could take hours. I'm pretty attached to the playlists that I spent a great deal of time creating. I keep getting an error in iTunes/iCloud that there are media types "other than" Mp3's in my playlists, which I know for a fact isn't true. My iTunes playlists all have only Mp3 files. Actually, the same problem occurred in iOS 6.
- there are now more privacy settings to adjust with iOS 7, to protect your privacy from ads or user-specific ads. There is nothing that I hate more than to pay money & have to defend my basic right to not be bothered with ads/sharing of my personal info. Why this is a recurring problem with technology companies, I have no idea. Like the rest of us, I want the choice to completely to maintain my privacy. If I want to look at ads, I'll turn on the TV or open any magazine.
- in iOS 7, it is now much harder to "swipe" get to the "search screen" to keyword search for documents & emails, etc.
I'll submit this as feedback to Apple, but I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears and I'll be permanently stuck with the current changes in iOS 7, or that the next iOS update won't be much of an improvement.
My question is- if the last time that I backed up my iPad a week ago, I had iOS 6 installed in iTunes (and haven't updated on my desktop yet to iOS 7), can't I do a complete restore of my iPad and then do a backup and revert to iOS 6? I don't care what data is lost over the last week, I just want to go back to iOS 6.
I really don't like the new iOS 7 version and want to revert back to "6", but I just read that this isn't possible anymore after the beta period is over. Is this true?
Regretting my decision to update. Could someone please tell me how or if I can revert back to iOS 6 (from my iOS 6 backup on my PC desktop)??? Sorry for the rant. Thanks.

Restore ipad back to ios 5.1.1

I accidentally installed ios 6 on my ipad 2. it has the A-5 Chip. I am curious how i can restore it back to ios 5.1.1. Wondering if there is a possibility. Everything i have seen has said something about jailbreaking. Which is not something i am interested in doing. Thanks for the help

Unless you want to jail break it. which is against the rules to speak about here, not to mention taht doing that will void any remainder of your warranty and potentially brick your device.
The answer is that downgrading isn't supported. If you want advice beyond that, then you need to look elsewhere than Apple's official forum.

TS1398 My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?

i Was considerinf buying a macbook pro, but am reconsidering spending such an amount of money on a company that can screw up such a basic function. I mean you can have your iOS 8 back if this is what it means, I don't want to use your health Kit app.

You cannot 'roll back' your iOS. That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
It's not the iOS. It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue. But it's not the iOS. If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
Troubleshoot your issue.

Is there any way of going back to ios 6? 7 too slow on 4

I downloaded ios 7 for my iPhone 4 yesterday and it's basically ruined my phone, the speed and performance of the phone is ridiculously slow, I find myself typing without knowing what I'm typing until it finally catches up... Is there any way of me going back to ios 6? Or just speeding up 7 on my phone? If there's no way then I don't know why Apple have made ios 7 compatible with iPhone 4's.
Any help will do! Thanks.

Try turning Background App Refresh off. Mine iPhone 4 immediately picked up speed when I turned that off. It's not as quick as 6.1.3 but very close and definitely usable.
iOS 4 turned my iPhone 3 into a brick and it took me quite a while debugging this iPhone 4 after installing iOS 6. Keep searching the discussion groups for possible answers. You might install an app like System Activity Monitor which will show you if one application or process is hogging processor time and thus slowing down the phone. You might have to google the process to find which app it is associated with, but this will give you a clue. There is an answer. You can't downgrade--at least not that I'm aware of--so keep working on finding the answer.

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

A handful of people scream about every update that is ever put out. It is the nature of technology and blame. Perhaps try addressing your issue instead of blaming yet another update. you would never had of installed 8.2 if you took these forums as any true representation of iOS users.

HT5634 iMac (Late 2006 20") with IOS Lion installed Windows 8 via BootCamp4, Then Upgrade to 8.1 Pro. Worked with warning message until today. How do I get out of Windows 8.1 to get back to IOS Lion.

Until today I was able to ignore the compatability issues warning (I know bad idea to ignore warnings) and move between IOS Lion and Windows 8.1 Pro partitions on my 20" iMac (Late 2006) with Intel processor. After restarting Windows and spending 1/2 hour waiting for it to update (after installing Office 365) Window works fine, but when I activiate BootCamp (from Windows) nothing happens. It opens and gives me the warning with the option to run the program anyway (like always) but it the program never starts. It stays in Windows. How do I get back to IOS 7 Lion so I can upgrade BootCamp 4 to BootCamp 5 which I just saw today as the solution...?

Power off your computer. Power up your computer, during power up press and hold the option key. When the boot manager appears select OSx.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported at all.

How to make IOS 7 readable? Or how to go back to IOS 6?

I know there are tons of improvements in IOS 7, but the user interface isn't one of them. I can't read light blue against a lime green background, and I can't read white, spindly letters against a white background either. I've been tested: my color vision is normal.
I don't care for the artless flat icons, but I could put up with them if I could see them.
Is there a way to get some contrast into the UI? It looks like invisible ink right before it dries.
If there is no way to get contrast into IOS 7's UI, then I want to know how to go back to IOS 6. I really don't want to go back to IOS 6, but if I can't see the UI, I can't benefit from the features.

That is not accurate. If you have iOS 7, and restore from an iOS 6 backup, it will restore your content but the OS will not be downgraded.
