Downgrade iPhone iOS

I use Dad's old MacMini OS 10.4.11 + iTunes 9 for my music etc
I have an iPhone 3GS which worked just fine & syncs with the mac.
Two days ago I needed to print some photos so plugged into Dad's PC (XP + iTunes 10) to print. Great news! Upgrade available for my iPhone - Go For it!
All well until & try to use the Mac again.
''Your iPhone iOS not compatible with iTunes 9 - UPGRADE to iTunes 10!''
But now iTunes 10 will not install on Mac OS 10.4.11 - must upgrade to 'snow leopard' at a cost of OVER £100 !!! which (being a student) I dont have.
How can I downgrade the iPhone to where it was happy ????
Help PLEEASE!!

Hi
Looks like I'm in a mess - thanks Apple -
I see that the upgrade from OS 10.4 to 10.5 was around $30 - I've been working weekends & could just about afford that.
Have to try to get hold of it

    i have to restart my phone every time i want to use any of those apps. all i want to do now is go back to 5.1.1 i had no issue what so ever with that iOS

    No, downgrading is not supported. I woudl suggest restoring the phone as new and then loading the third party apps back on a couple at at time. One of them may be causing the problem.

  • 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
    Lawrence

  • How to downgrade from ios 8.02 to 7.04 on iphone 4s

    how to downgrade from ios 8.02 to 7.04 on iphone 4s?

    You can't downgrade from iOS 8.0.2 to iOS 7.0.4 any more, because Apple has closed the access to verify iOS 7.0.4.

  • HT1414 Is there any way i could restore from the backup of a new IOS software? I had to manually restore my iphone 3 and had to downgrade the IOS Software.

    I backuped my iphone 3 when it had a higher IOS software. After i restored my Iphone, i eneded up having to downgrade the IOS software in order for it to fully restore. Now when i try to back up my phone, it says that my iphone is too old for the backup. If i DO upgrade the IOS, i won't be able to use my phone because it becomes too slow and wont even fully restore.
    Thanks

    If your phone is in recovery mode (You see the iTunes graphic on the phone), you MUST connect the device to a computer and restore the operating system.  There is no supported way to get around it.  The device had a problem installing the update and it crashed.  Sorry.

    Remember, the majority of people that come to this site do so because they are experiencing a problem.  However, only a very, very small percentage of Apple users come to this forum, because they do not have any problems.
    Using this forum as a guideline for how prevelant a problem is affecting the overall Apple community is like going to a hospital, seeing that most of the people there are sick, and concluding that most of the city's population is also sick.
    Additonally, the OP reported that updating to iOS 7.1 resolved the issue, so you advice is misplaced.
    A LOT of iPhone 4 users DO have problem with personal hotspot after upgrade to 7.1, I am one of them. 265 people reported that same problem there and more then 20.000 people read that thread.Please go and reed here:

    20,000 people haven't read that thread.  That's how many views the thread has had.  Each time someone refreshs that thread, it counts as a view.  Don't believe me?  Go back to the thread, refresh the page, and watch the page count increase. 
    Also, 265 replies doesn't equal 265 people.  Each reply is counted, whether it's a new person replying or someone posting another reply.

  • How to downgrade from ios 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 on iphone 4s???

    how to downgrade from ios 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 on iphone 4s??? i feel ios 5.1.1 is more comfortable so i wanna downgrade... but i couldnt... can anyone tell me how to do it??

    You don't. There is no supported way to downgrade iOS. Attempting to do so will void any warranty, forfeit all rights to support, and could very well brick the phone.

  • HT201210 How do I downgrade from ios 7 to ios 6 on my iPhone 4?

    GAH!!!
    It's so slow,  I can't even type a whole word without having to wait ..... and then the letters show up,  then I type a few more......  and I wait........ and the letters show up.

    I should have read reviews before I upgraded too.

  • IOS 8.3 is draining my iPhone 6 Plus battery life. how to downgrade to iOS 8.2?

    I never changed my mobile phone using habits. All that changed recently is my iPhone 6 Plus getting an iOS 8.3 update. I noticed my battery life draining quicker than the usual. It used to still have enough juice to last me until midnight, now by lunch time i am already at 63%!
    Anyone experiencing this?
    Know the proper legitimate way to downgrade from iOS 8.3 to 8.2? Prefer to have longer battery life than have this updated 8.3 in my phone. I don't feel the benefits of the upgrade to begin with.

    The rate of battery loss is still slowly accelerating. At this rate I expect less than 8 hours usage time.
    I wrote a review of my new iPhone 6 Plus here and brought up the issue:
    http://lerner.net/dougs-review-of-his-new-iphone-6-plus-first-day-impressions/
    If anybody has any ideas, or comparative battery life results, please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

    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.
