Downgrade from ios8.1.3

I just purchased an iPhone 4 from a friend
BIG MISTAKE!
I've been running mac computers since 1996, and been happy with them until now.
I purchased a mac mini with Yosemite (worst operating system ever!) I would like to go back to Mountain Lion or Mavericks but I don't know how or if it is even possible. I also upgraded my iPhone to 8.1.3 and would like to downgrade it too. Now I can't seem to get anything to work.
Mostly ringtones and music, I bought Garage Band to make some Ringtones and it didn't work, I followed the tutorials.I downloaded Ringtone Maker and made a ringtone successfully but couldn't use it as a tone. Please help!
I would prefer to change the operating systems on iPhone & mac mini unless you can help me fix these issues.

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • Downgrade from IOS8 to IOS7

    Hi.
    our church iPad accidentally got upgraded from IOS7 to IOS8.  Unfortunately the only program we use on the iPad (for controlling our ssound system) is not supported under IOS8 and keeps continually trying to disconnect and reconnect.
    Is there any way that I can downgrade, I don't seem to be able to find anywhere on the Apple site, and I am reluctant to download the IPSW from other sites, and even if I did, would it restore OK?
    Thanks

    If I restore the device to new(factory settings), I am assuming that it will install IOS8 won't it?    That is the issue,. I need to go back one version to 7 or earlier for the app to work properly.

    Yes. It will re-install iOS 8. But this usually helps fix issues caused by any OS file corruption or issue with them that may cause problems with the App.
    There is no Apple supported way of going back. That is not an alternative. 
    If you attempt to install a previous iOS version by whatever means you find, It will void your warranty, and Apple will not help you fix the device should something happen to it during the procedure.  As such any support from these forums would also be forfeited.
    If the App is not working correctly, after all has been attempted, then its something the App developer needs to rectify. You can contact iTunes support, as well as the Developer to sort through the issue if the other measures do not work.

  • Does the downgrade from ios8 to iOS 7.1.1 work with no issues

    You should be fine then. Do it before they stop signing. Lots of people have posted on here that their downgrade to 7.1.2 has been successful and their iPads are working like they should.

  • IPhone downgrade from iOS8.1.1 to iOS6

    Is there any way to do this?
    My iphone is pretty much useless since update to iOS8.1.1 - I have another thread as yet unanswered, so my other solution is to put it back the way it was so that I can use it.
    Thank you

    I was perfectly happy for near enough 18 months all until i clicked "upgrade" :(* very unhappy about this
    Yes, he's serious. Apple has never supported backwards compatibility of iOS. You should be troubleshooting your install and your phone but as you have given us absolutely no indication of your issues, let alone even what phone you have then there is not much we can do for you here.

  • How can I downgrade from ios8 to ios7 on my iphone 4s?

    Hi all
    I'm using an iPhone 4s, model MD241C/A,
    Running ios 8.1.1.
    Phone is now buggy in nearly all respects: glacial pace opening and running multiple apps, most apps crash without warning, battery (brand new) lasts about 4 hours w/ normal use, battery on standby drains in about 8 hours.
    I have deleted all non-essential apps, reset factory settings, have 6GB free.
    This new ios reminds me of windows ...
    How can I reinstall ios 7 or lower?
    Thanks, everyone.

    Hi Lawrence,
    I have deleted all non-essential apps, reset factory settings, turned off background refresh in all apps, turned off display auto-brightness, deleted several gigs of photos just to give the OS some breathing room. This was to try to address the battery issues.
    I have not addressed the apps as they all used to function reasonably well w/ ios7.
    Thanks

    Why Apple make so bad thinks.
    Here are the thoughts: IOS Security
    System Software Authorization
    Apple regularly releases software updates to address emerging security concerns and also provide new features; these updates are typically provided for all supported devices simultaneously. Users receive iOS update notifications on the device and through iTunes, and updates are delivered wirelessly, encouraging rapid adoption
    of the latest security fixes.
    The startup process described above helps ensure that only Apple-signed code
    can be installed on a device. To prevent devices from being downgraded to older versions that lack the latest security updates, iOS uses a process called System Software Authorization. If downgrades were possible, an attacker who gains possession of a device could install an older version of iOS and exploit a vulnerability that’s been fixed in the newer version.

  • How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?

    Dear Experts
    How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?
    The situation is that in Hong Kong, I bought the iPhone 5 for my mainland China friend.
    The seller said that the iPhone 5 was brand new and was come from USA.
    I found that iPhone 5 was in iOS 8.1. I wonder that why brand new iPhone 5 would be installed in iOS8.1?
    My friend finds that the response of iPhone 5 is so late.
    He prefers to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
    Please reply.
    Thank you
    Regards

  • How can I Revert back to IOS7 from IOS8?

    Hi Folks,
    Is there a way that I can revert back to IOS7 from IOS8 after install on both iPhone and an IPad?
    I did not back up either of these devices before doing the upgrade.
    I know I should always back up before any updates, but I'm hoping the fact that I did not might be of help in my case.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    BTW: why do I want to do this? Ever since going to IOS8 my devices have become much slower to start up and also seem jerky during operation.
    I have two iPhone 4S's and one iPad

    Note that what Allan is suggesting is a way to resolve your issues. It will not downgrade your software version.

  • Windows XP Pro SP2 cd-rom after downgrading from Vista

    Hi everybody.
    I successfully downgraded my T61p from Vista to XP Pro SP2 using the downgrade cd-roms send by Lenovo.
    Everything seems to work well. I downloaded all drivers. No problem.
    But I recently installed a rather old software that I frequently used on my old A31p. This software (a Microsoft program !) has automatically modified some files from XP Pro without any autorization. 
    Once it was done, I was asked by the system to insert the original Windows XP Pro SP2 cd-rom to repair this modification.
    Of course, the (Vista to XP) downgrade cd-rom set was not recognized by the Thinkpad as the original XP set.
    An original cd-rom which I finally don't have !
    I tried with an original XP Pro SP2 cd-rom bought a few years ago for my A31p. Unsuccessful.
    Where could I find the XP Pro SP2 cd-rom corresponding to the downgraded system ?
    Thanks for your help and suggestions.
    Regards.

    James,
    thanks for your answer.
    But I wrote on my first post "I tried with an original XP Pro SP2 cd-rom bought a few years ago for my A31p. Unsuccessful."
    Thus, I don't see any difference between an original Microsoft Windows XP2 Pro SP2 version cd-rom and one created by burning a downloaded version of the OS. An original was not recognized, what would a copy do ?
    If possible, it might be probably better to create an XP Pro SP2 cd-rom from the "Rescue and Recovery" files which were reinstalled when downgrading from Vista to XP. (I hate the word "downgrade" : while I was doing it, I had the feeling I was upgrading my Thinkpad !)
    I have been using for several years (and still use) an A31p (Since 2002, 8 to 10 hours a day) and a T42p. IMHO, the T61p is the same category of "great" notebooks. Thinkpads are really the best notebooks I have ever used. I noted no significant difference between IBM and Lenovo Thinkpads.
