Desperately need to downgrade from iOS7 to iOS6. How?

I've been using my iPad for aviation wth iOS6. Before "upgrading" my iPad to iOS7, I made a backup with the iOS6 and all apps.
iOS7 has been horrible. My aviation app crashes, there are GPS problems, and the absolute WORST is the battery life has been drastically reduced. These are just a few problems with iOS7.
I WANT IOS6 BACK!!!
I tried to restore my iPad to the state it was in before upgrading to iOS7 and it didn't work. It downgraded all my apps, but NOT iOS7.
iOS7 is still there.
Why is it still there? Why didn't iOS6 get restored back onto my iPad? Please help!

Then how do I restore my ipad as if I just took it from the box and upgrade to ios 6 that way?
I've used the advice from about 10 blogs to troubleshoot my issues. If I was sharing my ipad with family or others and letting them have free-run of it, then I could understand having problems.
I am the ONLY user of this ipad (literally, I let nobody touch this thing) and I use it ONLY for aviation and the occassional gmail and website via Safari. I don't use it for games or movies or music or pictures or skype, etc. Just Air Navigation Pro and Safari.
I'm just so frustrated with the performance of iOS 7 and even more frustrated that I read several blogs on how to save a backup of an iPad's backup (because itunes only keeps the most recent backup) as a safety restore so that I could revert the iPad to an old instance of the iPad. I studied all this stuff before "upgrading" to ios 7 and now it looks like it was all just a wasted effort.

  • Make possibility to downgrade from iOS7 to iOS6!

    Make possibility to downgrade from iOS7 to iOS6! Because iOS 7 is awful, have too much bugs and much more slowly!

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to Apple - If you want to leave feedback for them then you can do so via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    What bugs are you referring to ? If you have problems and the standard troubleshooting methods (closing apps via the multitasking bar, soft-reset, restore) haven't fixed them then if it's on third-party apps have you tried contacting the developers ?
    In terms of things being slow, then if the above doesn't help, then have you tried adjusting your settings e.g. Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion 'on' ?

  • How to solve erroe 3194 during downgrade from ios7 to ios6

    whenever i try to degrade from ios 7 to ios6, i find a error in itunes 3194. how to solve this problem

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to Apple nor iTunes Support - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    Downgrading the iOS version isn't supported by Apple. If you are having problems with using iOS 7 then if you say what they are then somebody on here might be able to help (but not with downgrading the iOS version).

  • HT4623 is it really possible to downgrade from ios7 to ios6?

    my ipad2 is a paperweight since upgrading to ios7. it is worse than dial-up in 2002. i loved this device. please someone show me how to bring back my ver 6.........................................so many hours of my life that i will never get back.

    mine is only 16gb, but it ran everything i need @ lightning speed until the upgrade.  Now i can't watch any youtube that doesn't stop at least every  5 sec. I can access my banking balance slowly, but can rarely look at details of transactions posted.  When i read my emails, the trashcan icon is off the edge of the screen so i can't delete without a stylus, yadayadayada..  This has been my pc for a while now and i just want what i had.  It's ridiculous how long it takes to load a web image.  I've wiped it sso many times now, but can't wipe 7.  Made an appt @ THE APPLE STORE.  Bet they tell me tough s**t ..

    Basically you don't downgrade because you can't.  It is not supported, so you will just have to live with what you have!

    First of all, we are not Adobe.  This is a user to user forum.  We are consumers just like you. And I have arthritis, too, although not severe.
    Now let's see if we can help you resolve your problem.
    Where was it purchased from?
    Was it downloaded or was a disc purchased?
    What is your operating system?
    Is it version Photoshop Elements 13?
    Did you use a redemption code to get a serial number?
    Did you sign in/activate?
    Did you create an Adobe account?

    Thanks for pointing that out, it was not apparent on the day i used them and wrote the How-To. The links have been replaced with the SID# (Solution ID #) and the title given for the Article.
