Can I downgrade from iOS 8.1.2 to iOS 7.1.2

Are there any instructions on how to downgrade my iPhone 4S from iOS 8.1.2 to iOS 7.1.2. My iPhone feels a lot slower ever since I have upgraded to iOS 8. Upgrading it each time has improved a tiny bit but I would much prefer iOS 7.1.2. I have tried to search YouTube videos on how to do it but everytime I try, it comes up with, "This device isn't eligible for the requested build." Can somebody please help me?

Sorry, downgrading is not supported by Apple.
Set it up as new device instead:

    There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released.  Or were you simply trying to be funny? 
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • I am using Iphone 5 ,How can i downgrade from IOS 7.0 to IOS 6 ?

    I am using Iphone 5 ,How can i downgrade from iOS 7.0 to iOS 6 ?

    Go to the Apple store and buy a new phone, the iPhone 5 (not the 5S) and you will probably get a phone with the IOS 6 interface.
    But be aware that many apps will no longer be offering updates for the older IOS. You either have to move forward and stay in the past.
    IOS 7 is just a change in the look, the functionality is still there. OSes have to move on, change. Otherwise the vendor gets accused of staying in the past. I find no problem in the update except for the changes in the Calendar. I spent $5.00 and got another calendar that does more and works better. I also got a better Notes program for a few bucks. For less than the cost of a dinner meal I was able to improve my phone experience. Rather than complain, I adapted. Problem solved.

  • I use iphone 3GS, can I downgrade from iOS4.3?

    I use iphone 3GS, can I downgrade from iOS 4.3?

    Since the 3GS, any firmware you restore is checked with Apple's servers for approval. They generally stop approving installation of older firmware soon after releasing an update in order to help curb jailbreaking activities.
    In the past, although Apple does not officially support downgrading, it was often still possible with some workarounds, but following this change, it is usually impossible.

  • How can I downgrade from iTunes 10.5 to 10.4

    How can I downgrade from iTunes 10.5 to 10.4?

    Thanks for your support, but I changed the TimeZone (both PC and Iphone 3GS on Istanbul GMT+2) and the problem is still there. I updated also Itunes 10.5.1, same problem. I can't syncronize or update the IOS on the phone. I'm afraid I'll have to try the complete reset to factory of the Iphone (I'm afraid sync data on the iphone has been corrupted and Itunes can't sync).
    Any advice on how to save all my data, since backup function does not work because it needs the sync feature?
    thanks

  • How can I see from my contact who use iphone (ios 5) for contact with imessage?

    How can I see from my contact who use iphone (ios 5) for contact with imessage?

    Well, let take the personal service point of view : let say, I had two calendars on my iCloud account : one for work, one for my leisure activities.
    On my MacBook Pro that I use at home as well as at my office, I would want the two calendars to show and since I am alone in my office, I would want the alerts for both my work and my leisure activities to show (and make a sound at the same time).
    But on my iPad that I only use at home, I would only want my leisure activities alerts to show (and make a sound) and on my iPhone that I only use for work, I would only want my work alerts to show (and make a sound).
    That is a personal service that simply does not work.
    Why would Apple give us the opportunity to hide some calendars on certain devices but not allow us, on these same devices, to switch off the alerts linked to these calendars that we have chosen to hide ? Why having alerts of calendars that do not even show on these devices ?
    And I am an Apple fan since 1984, since the very first Mac. I still do believe Macs and Apple devices and/or software (iOS, OS X and others...) are much better and much more efficient than " Microsoft, Windows, Google and other Android devices and software.
    But that does not mean everything's perfect (and I find that quite normal).
    Nevertheless, in this case, letting alerts make a sound on a device where a specific calendar is not shown, that does not make any sense : when uncheking those calendars, the alerts linked to those calendars should be automatically switch off (but alerts should be able to work on the calendars that are shown.)

  • How can i downgrade from os x 10.9 to 10.7 without time machine

    can i downgrade from os x 10.9 dirrectly to 10.7?

    You should start a new topic thread, so as to get more exposure
    to your question; this is suggested due to the status of where you
    posted your item (now answered) will see fewer people with any
    answer; mostly those seeking answers like their own question.
    If your MacBook Pro shipped with a system later than the
    DVD version OS X 10.6 you have, the disc would not work.
    However, if the DVD you have is the Original OS X version
    the MacBook Pro came with, you could use it in much the
    same way as it worked before installing Mavericks 10.9.x
    By 'reverting' to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 you will essentially lose all
    of the content on the hard disk drive. I am not certain if you could
    even import anything from a 'time machine' device that had been
    created under the newer Mavericks 10.9 system. Since you have
    to boot the computer with the install DVD for 10.6, and erase the
    hard disk drive, reformat it to GUID and HFS+ (whatever default
    for Snow Leopard) and that would remove the Recovery partition
    on the computer's hard disk drive, and any other partitions.
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD into the optical drive, and restart
    while holding the C key down, until the Installer disc is running
    the computer; this would be rather slow, as it reads from the DVD
    in order to build the Installer desktop, and access files to attempt
    an installation. It may also be testing the hard disk drive, etc.
    Once the computer is booted from the SL 10.6 install DVD, you
    can look into the Utilities menu (in top of screen, like in Finder
    desktop) to choose Disk Utility from the drop-down menu, and
    once you launch Disk Utility, note there are sections within it
    to choose from. You can choose Secure Erase (single pass) if
    you want to have the utility overwrite zeros on the entire HDD.
    This a bit longer then a basic erase & install. It wipes everything.
    If not, choose to erase all Partitions and be sure it does this.
    Afterward you would need to be sure it reformats the hard drive
    with a correct partition map & file type. GUID & HFS+ journaled.
    The tools are in the Disk Utilty that you run prior to the Installer
    itself, as there are options in the menu just like Finder desktop.
    Once the hard drive is erased, partition mapped, & reformatted,
    it should be easy to put an all-new system 10.6 on the hard drive.
    (That is, if the OS X DVD you have is a retail version, and if your
    computer shipped with a system older than the one on that DVD.)
    Should you choose to, an idea some suggest prior to upgrade
    and also prior to downgrade, is to make a full clone of the system
    that is running the computer on an externally enclosed hard disk
    drive (see carbon copy cloner, or superduper, clone utilities) so
    as to have a complete running system that can boot the Mac...
    If you had one of these prior to upgrading to Mavericks, it would
    be able to run your computer without re-installing. You could just
    use the clone utility, again, to clone it back to the wiped Mac HD.
    Or run Snow Leopard from the external, at a slightly slower rate
    given the USB 2.0/3.0 to an external is slower than bus speed.
    Not sure if this helps. However you may benefit from more
    exposure to your question in a new topic thread, and that
    could be in Snow Leopard, Mavericks, or this ASC section.
    There are advantages to posting in an OS X named topic
    since people with all kinds of supported Mac would see it.
    Hopefully you can revert, and also have some kind of a way
    to make a backup of any works you may need a copy of.
    The applications in Snow Leopard, older than Mavericks,
    may not like to handle files made with newer software.
    Though there is a cost to set up the ability to make and use
    full bootable system clones, the external drive, time, learning
    and testing the idea to see if you can master it before erasure,
    the results are worth the effort; since you then have a backup.
    A full backup, and it is a manual effort to make this kind, unlike
    the 'time machine' bits and pieces, this can bring back the Mac;
    if used with a time machine backup, too, could be opportune.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I downgrade from 11.0 and re-install 10.7

    How can I downgrade from 11.0 and re-install 10.7

    First, reconsider your decision. 11.x isn't quite as user-friendly as 10.x, but it has pretty much the same functions are before (albeit in different places). Give it a few more days, and you might grow to like it. Future releases will only get better.

  • Can a downgrade from os x mavericks 9.1?

    Hi, been using mavericks for a few months and but am slowly getting dissapointed and frustrated with how slow it is.
    I have a imac i7 with 12gb of ram and a good graphics card but nearly all my software runs too slow. It is difficult to enjoy my time on the desktop.
    My question is can i downgrade from mavericks and install Lion or something? Seriously my G4 was faster!

    Use the backup you made before you chose to upgdade and follow here

    although you really should troubleshoot your Mac as there is something wrong with it.All our Macs are absolutely flying under Mavericks.
    But your choice.
    Good Luck

  • Can I downgrade from pre-installed Lion to Snow Lepoard on Late 2011 MBP i7 2.4?

    I've purchased a MacBook Pro Quad-Core i7 2.4 with pre-installed Lion (no installation DVD's included), but, unfortunately, found out that a big number of audio software doesn't run natively and malfunctions with this version of OS, meanwhile they worked flawlessly on my previous MacBook using Snow Leopard.
    The question is: can I downgrade from pre-installed Lion to Snow Lepoard on Late 2011 MBP i7 2.4?

    Thanks a lot for your reply. I ran into those numerous techy ways of downgrading, but I've found none addressing my particular model (I think I read something about 15", while mine is 17" and sometime it does make difference - because Apple love to keep secrets about what's inside). Since i've got zellions of audio plugins install, I'm trying to make sure that messing around with systems will lead to some fruitful result. So the new question: is there a way to make sure (I haven't found any tech spec threads naming the borderline between a "working variant" and "no-use-trying" variant) - is that just a matter of chance and doing it at one own risk, or is there still a way to make surefire decision?

  • How can you downgrade from ios 7.1.2 to 6.1.3

    hello everyone can you please help me i need to downgrade from ios 7.1.2 to ios6.1.3 because my ipad dosent work realy well with it can you plese help me  

    Downgrading isn't possible. iTunes won't install iOS versions older than the latest compatible release, and if one's somehow installed anyway, Apple's servers won't activate the device afterwards.

  • Can you downgrade from iOS 8.2 to 8.1.3?

    Is it possible to downgrade from iOS 8.2 to 8.1.3 on iPhone 6? If so, how? After updating both my iPhone and iPad with iOS 8.2, I experienced several issues. The Bluetooth on my phobe is no longer workIng properly and will not sync with my car or any other Bluetooth device. The battery life for both devices has been reduced significantly. Also the update has caused glitches in several of my apps as welL. I don't plan on getting an Apple watch, so I don't need 8.2.

    No, downgrading iOS levels is not supported.
