I have an iPad Air and want to downgrade to iOS 7. How does this work?

iOS 8.1 is really slow on my iPad Air so i want to downgrade to iOS 7.
What should i do?

Since you can't go backwards to an earlier iOS ... what you should do is reset your iPad to factory default by your iTunes program. Don't forget to do your backups!

Cannot turn on icloud backup after downgrade to iOS 7.1.2

I own an iPhone 4S which I upgraded to iOS 8 on 21st September. The iphone and most of applications (even phone) crashed all the time so I decide to downgrade to 7.1.2 after following instructions found in these communities. I did it just yesterday.
Now I cannot turn on iCloud Backup to my iPhone. The iCloud drive of course disappeared from Settings > iCloud, however it's still visible when I access the iCould in web. Moreover in iCloud web interface my iPhone appears as running iOS 8 and X Yosemite which is not true. My iPhone has 7.1.2 iOS.
I tried to erase my iPhone and restore it from a backup I made yesterday but I have the same issue: iCloud could not be enabled. It was enabled finally after hard reset but when I select "Backup now" the app crashes and throw me in the Home Screen. I see a message: this iPhone has never been backed up on iCloud and the last backup could not be completed.
Please help!!!!!! I want to be able to have iCloud Backup (most important settings and contacts, sms etc.) as I did usually before upgrading to iOS 8 and downgraded to 7.1.2.

Hello,
Been experiencing the same problem, finally fix it by deleting your old iCloud backup from iOS 8.
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Click on your device name > Scroll down to bottom > Delete this backup.
Then try to turn on the iCloud Backup setting toggle again.
Hope this helps.
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2, downgraded from iOS 8

Is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)?

I found this piece of information: http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/18/downgrade-ios-6-beta-to-ios-5/ Yes, it's about downgrading from iOS 6 beta, not iOS 6, but the way to downgrade to a previous version of iOS is basically the same.
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 and an iPod touch 4 running iOS 5.1.1 as well. None of them is 'jailbroken'. I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS 6 for exploring it a bit more and reverted back to iOS 5.1.1. How? I did it the way stated by the website I mentioned above: just by Option-Clicking the 'Restore' button on iTunes and select the iOS 5.1.1 software. No need to enter recovery mode or DFU mode whatsoever.
In fact, Apple doesn't allow users to downgrade to a previous version of iOS: 'Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.' (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694) The reason why I could downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1 may be, as the above website said, 'Typically you can’t downgrade iOS versions so easily, but because Apple is still signing iOS 5.1.1 this allows downgrading to commence with minimal effort.'
I was wondering whether I could revert all the way from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 (the version that was shipped along with the launch of the iPod touch 4 in September 2010). (for experimental purposes)
I downloaded the iOS 4.1 (a list of iOS software: http://osxdaily.com/2010/10/30/download-ipod-touch-firmware-ipsw/) and tried Option-Clicking when restoring this iOS 4.1 — no luck. iTunes said 'This device is not eligible for the requested build'. And I did a bit of research and found that there are ways to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1, but it seems you have to jailbreak the device, which is complicated and I don't want to do.
So, is there a way to downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 4.1 without any unauthorised modifications (e.g. jailbreaking)? Thanks in advance.

No, downgrading from any version of iOS to an earlier version is not supported.

Apple, let us downgrade to iOS 6.0!

Well, this battery drain issue is coming from iOS 6.1 to me and it seems that it is common on almost every iPhone model (4, 4S, 5, etc). It maybe not the iOS itself, perhaps from this version, the iOS gives some opportunity to some Apps to do some stuff in the background that kills battery. Some of us have this kind of apps and having battery problem, other don’t.
My iPhone battery was good prior to iOS 6.1, with 5 hours of usage and even up to 5 days on standby! After upgrade to 6.1, it loses 2~3% battery every hour on standby and only lasts for 1 or 2 hours of usage before dead. It is not as bad as some who lose 10% of battery every hour on standby, but to me, the battery life has reduced to one quarter of past.
I am sure Apple is working on it and iOS 6.1.2 seems to be an urgent upgrade to solve, but I knew it won't solve my problem, because I don’t use the Exchange account and the update aimed to solve that issue.
I think the best solution is that the Apple gives us the choice to downgrade to iOS 6.0 until the next stable version is ready to go. This solution will give the Apple the time to find and solve the problem and gives us our phones back to use.

This is my recent test:
I charged the phone to 100%, unplugged it and set the Airplane Mode to ON and guess what? It is 11 hours now and the battery is still on 100% of charge!
I am using 2G network and the signal in my area is very good (full antenna). Maybe the problem is in communicating with the BTS towers and nothing related to apps or settings or hardware.
It is obvious that the Airplane Mode saves battery, but maybe in recent iOS updates, it is the 2G network connection that drains the battery more than usual.
What do you think?

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.

HT1414 how to downgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 7

Since i was updated to iOS 8 i face a problem of blank screen during unlocking
So i would like to downgrade to iOS 7 again

I was getting this same behavior with 8.0x on an iPhone 4S but not with our iPads.
What seems to help is using the top switch to close the unlock screen then press it again to get the unlock screen back.
When I do that the lock screen has all of its features and is responsive again.
I don't believe I've seen this happen since 8.1 but don't make me swear in court to it.
Alas, you can only downgrade iOS for a limited time "officially" as Apple invalidates the needed files after a while, and that while is getting shorter with every release. Some sites warehouse the needed files.

no iOS device since the first iphone back in 2007 ever officially supported downgrade of iOS version
if you wish apple to change that

would not hold my breath though keeping support for just 2 current versions of a operating systems more the double the resources you spend

How to downgrade from ios 8.0.2

how come there is no way to downgrade from ios 8.0.2 to ios 7 !!! i don't think its legal from apple to close the way back
but let me ask may be there is something i don't know
is there any way back to ios 7.1.2 ????
thanks
kh

There is no way to downgrade. Apple probably doesn't allow it because then people would downgrade a lot. People rarely like the new update when they download it. Also, Apple doesn't support past iOS things…So if someone is on iOS 3, Apple wouldn't support fixing problems or whatever (if I remember right).
So, sadly there is no way to downgrade. Sorry!

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

A handful of people scream about every update that is ever put out. It is the nature of technology and blame. Perhaps try addressing your issue instead of blaming yet another update. you would never had of installed 8.2 if you took these forums as any true representation of iOS users.

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to ios 7.1.2

I think the best iOS version for iPad mini 1st gen was 7.1.2.
I use my iPad with music production software and still it was on 7.1.2 I got no problems, but now I'm in trouble using AudioBus for memory problems when I record to a DAW. Synth softwares are laggy, many crack here and there, like it has no more power to reproduce all the voices I need.
Really the only way is the jailbreak? 8.1.1 is not optimized for older devices: the update had to be not released through iTunes.
Bye.

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

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.
