Can I install ios5?

Can I reinstall ios5? The maps on ios6 is rubbish and I would rather have the old software. I've never before been disappointed with a software upgrade until. This is very disappointing. Apple maps needs a lot of work before it can be considered an upgrade on google maps

Yes, I myself have done it.
It's tricky and seems to be easier on Mac than PC.

  • Can I install ios5 from a computer other than my primary computer?

    I have downloaded the Lion update in the office and would like to install ios5 on my iphone and ipad before going home, which is where my "primary" computer is, i.e., the one I use to sync.  Can I install ios5 from any computer or does it have to be the one I have always used for syncing?

    You can but if your office computer does not have your backups and iTunes Library from your home computer then the device contents will be wiped. I'd wait until you got home.

  • I can't install iOS5 on my iPad 2, error 1611.

    Hi!
    I've upgraded my iTunes to 10.5 and downloaded iOS5 for my iPad2. When I hit upgrade, it backsup and starts the process. I tells be its preparing for restore, when the ipad starts to show the apple logo, then swich to the docking cable and itunes logo, this happens 2-3 times. After this I get an error saying 1611.
    I try to hit restore on the iPad, but it wont let me do it. I have to connect it to another mac to do it.
    I have done this 10 times atleast since yesterday. But still no success in getting iOS5.
    What can i do to fix this restore issue and how do i eventually get iOS5?
    Thanks for the help

    Yes, I did check it out, I even called apple support. They said that if I managed to restore from another Mac, they it wouldn't be a hardware issue with the iPad.. Not sure what is what or if its the Mac or the iPad. They just told me to wait a day and try again. I tried it today, same issue :(
    I even tried to update manually with the ipsw file.. But when i do that i get a 3002.

  • I can't install iOS5 because the backup suddenly interrupts when I'm transferring my apps.

    The backup starts normally, synchronizes the iPhone and then it tries to transfer an app (the name is Lucky Cat), it reaches immediately 1/4 of the loading bar, remains still for two second and then disappears, simply returns the apple without reaching the end of the loading bar. If I try to update it, it tells me that my purchases have not been transferred. The backup results done anyway, and in my app list on the Mac there's Lucky Cat.
    There has been a period when I used another email to buy apps, because I've deleted my first email. I've already tried to log in on the iTunes store with both the emails, and it continues to behave like that.
    What can I do? Can I just update it without the risk of losing anything?

    Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    Now, uninstall Bonjour from Control Panel.

  • Can't install iOS5 on 3GS

    Anyone else having issues downloading iOS5?
    When I hit update in iTunes 10.5 I get an error saying "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone... An unknown error occured (-23).
    Any ideas what this means?

    The problem we had was our Internet Proxy at work was blocking itunes from accessing the Internet.
    Go to Internet Explorer
    Click on Tools and then Internet Options
    Click on The Connections Tab
    Click The LAN Settings button
    Uncheck "Automatically Detect Settings" and Click OK.
    Close Internet Explorer and Close iTunes
    Open iTunes and try downloading iOS5 again.

  • Just installed iOS5 and iCloud on iPod Touch, and in Settings, I can't get the on/off switch to stay on for Automatic Downloads.

    I just installed iOS5 and iCloud on 4th gen iPod Touch. All is well EXCEPT that I can't get the on/off switch in "Settings" to stay on for automatic downloads of music and apps. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing some previous set-up step?
    Thanks for your help.

    to enable icloud you tap "settings" -> "icloud". Make sure you sign in with a valid iCloud Apple-ID. Then you can turn on the various features that are part of iCloud.
    Video or Music Syncing is not a feature of it.  Instead you use itunes in the cloud which let's you re-download purchases. This however depends if the service is available in your country.
    Worldwide only purchased books and apps are supported for free-of-charge-redownload on your devices.

  • Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

    Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

    You can't, it was built-in to iOS and is not in the store. Google are supposed to be working on app version of maps, and in the meantime you could try accessing it via Safari : http://maps.google.com

  • HT4623 I am using iphone GS3 and jailbreak the iOS using 5.0.1 can I download and install iOS5.1.1

    I am using iphone GS3 and jailbreak the iOS using 5.0.1 can I download and install iOS5.1.1

    Per Terms of Use to which you agreed when you joined this
    forum, discussion of jailbroken iPhones is prohibited. You will
    get no help here.
    Be advised the jailbreak made unknown alterations to the iPhone
    which will prevent future upgrades, open up the OS to malware,
    and may result in it becoming useless - a brick, if you will.

  • Can I get iOS5 back, after installing iOS6? I hate Apple map.

    Is there anyway I can re-download iOS5, after having already downloaded iOS6? The map really really *****.

    I made this same post and it was deleted by the moderators.
    Despite the fact that half the user base is complaining, Apple is trying to hide its head in the sand on this one.
    Better find some independent forums since Apple has decide in favor of censorship over customer satisfaction.
    I am very disappointed with this company that I used to think was very good.

  • How do I retrieve my music and apps after installing iOS5 on my ipod touch?

    After 'backing up' my ipod, I was prompted to install iOS5 onto my ipod. I then proceeded to install. I knew iit would take some time to install new OS, so I let it be. After about an hour or so I came back to check on my ipod, low and behold, it had none of my music and apps. I still don't understand what my feelings are right now. But I suspect that tomorrow I will be devastated if I cant get my music back. I dont have half of this stuff on my computers. Did I somehow back up 'all' my music somewhere? I don't know. I just spent a half hour waiting for Apple Support with no answer, waiting on my cell phone no less, to answer my inquiry about my missing music and apps but couldn't wait anymore. Does anyone know what the resolution is? Is all my music gone?
    Anyways any help would be great.
    Will be searching for info on the forums.

    Ok so apps can be restored by going to update apps in ipod. individually, but restored nonetheless. My music on the other hand...

  • I just installed iOS5 on my Ipod Touch and there is  a gray bubble when I try to choose an album or song, how do I get by this to make my choice?

    I just installed iOS5 on my Ipod Touch and there is  a gray bubble when I try to choose an album or song, how do I get by this to make my choice or how do I use the bubble?

    Thanks, Stedman, that is helpful (I seem to be able to get past the "bubble" somewhat) but it is still there....I have, in the past, stroked across the music of choice and that was it...now the "bubble" with the choice name comes up and if I go all the way across I get a delete choice?  Can you help with this also or where would I go to research changes (I see there are 200!!!) in this upgrade?

  • I've installed ios5 on my iphone4 and now all the applications (app store

    Hello,
    I've installed iOS5 on my iphone 4 and now all the applications (app store, books..) are in deutsch instead of french
    even if all my parameters are in french. I leave in Swiss, french part. Thanks for your help.

    I understand.  The Swiss Apple website offers a choice of French or German and you can download a French version of the Swiss iTunes to your computer, but I do not know how you can change the language of the app on your phone. You can of course choose apps and download them to your computer, then sync them to your phone.  http://www.apple.com/chfr/itunes/
    Perhaps somebody here from Switzerland has an answer?

    Hello Apple_Addict22,
    Thank you for your question. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1.  First, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.
