Downgrade using iCloud

I just installed iOS 7 on my iPad 4 but I don't like it.
Too bright, prefer the older icons, prefer the Notes yellow background, can't see calendar items it year view, transitions not as smooth, things too big etc.
How do I revert back to the previous OS?
I have iCloud backups but have never used iTunes to synch because I have a PC.

Hi Mark,
iCloud backups will only restore apps and data to your iPad but not the iOS.  There is some banter about how to do this over on the iPhone forum although I've no idea if it works or what the risks are, but do a general search on there and you should find some answers, from a poster called Vokel I believe if memory serves me correctly.
Regards,
Steve

  • How can i downgrade my icloud memory if i accidentally hit upgrade for $20 a year.and i want to cancel that and get my $20 back to my account?

    Please help me how to cancel or downgrade the icloud memory
    since i accidentally hit the upgrade button.

    If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36).  If you don't, you may be out of luck.

  • How can I REALLY downgrade my iCloud storage?  HELP!

    How can I REALLY downgrade my iCloud storage?  Apple is trying to scam ppl out of $$. They will NOT allow you to downgrade per their instructions.  It ALWAYS says the iCloud manager is not available, try later.  Here is what my email says:
    This is a reminder that on 03/03/2015 you will be charged $10.99 for your 20 GB storage plan using your Visa •••• (deleted). If you do not wish to be charged, you can cancel by downgrading to the free storage plan from your iOS device, Mac or PC.
    The iCloud Team
    I'm so disappointed that all my products are currently Apple and now I down't trust them as far as I can throw them.  There is already a class action suit in Florida for the icon taking up 23% of users' available space, now they are trying to charge me $$ yearly when I do NOT need the space?  Shame, Apple.. Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave about your unethical business practices... This does NOT work:
    You can also cancel or downgrade your storage plan at any time. For a full refund, contact iCloud Supportwithin 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment. Partial refunds are available where required by law. Learn more about iCloud storage plans or get help using Cloud storage.
    No... the "done" button will not light up, and it says the iCloud manager is "not available at this time.  Try again later."  This is a known problem... fix it.

    Thank you Roger!  Going into my iTunes at least allowed me to delete my credit card info so they can't charge it.  In the meantime, after 2 calls I finally got connected to a Senior Advisor from Apple who was able to manually go into my account and remove the automatic charge to my credit card.  After sharing my screen, she was able to see the issue many others are having being unable to downgrade.  There is a bug in the system that tells you the manage storage is "unavailable at this time".  She followed me through several of these threads and realized it is actually an issue.  She took all the relevant information and will submit a bug fix request.  She even admitted that goal and apple were having an issue syncing to the correct time zone at that there was no know fix at this time.  While frustrating, the honesty was refreshing.
    Thank you SO much for you quick response on this!  My apologies for my tone; this was my first time using this forum.  I went through Apple support and didn't realize that there are no Apple employees on here.  I was on the line with someone from customer service that wasn't as helpful at the time and was very frustrated..
    Thanks again for your help!  To all others having this problem, keep calling Apple tech support until you get a Senior Advisor - they will help!!  The advisor even told me to tell people to call in and that they need to manually downgrade on their end until they get this issue resolved.

  • How do you remove iOS8 update. How do you avoid using iCloud

    How do I remove iOS 8 update? it is locking up my phone because I do not want iCloud.

    There is no support for downgrading. If you don't want to use iCloud, then delete your iCloud account from the phone.

  • Cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

    cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.

    just checked everything through and this is deffinately the public beta of iCloud as it simlily doesnt come up in the  settings of ipad or iphone. However the current firmware i am using isnt an itunes download, as i have downgraded and all itunes synced apps onto both the iPad and iphone crash when i open them, is this because i have downloaded the firmware from a third party? i have treble checked that the firmware is NOT hacked and is just a host's official apple firmware, so i cannot understand why this problem is occuring?

  • I cannot downgrade my icloud storage plan

    I am using under 1mg storage and wish to downgrade my 20mg plan to 5mg.  When I go to settings and select the 5mg plan the "done" field won't light up so I cannot select that plan.

  • Can I use iCloud on two Windows 7 PC's? (same apple ID)

    Hi!
    I am a new user of Apple products and would like to use iCloud on two Windows PC's to upload Pictures and be able to see them on iPad. I manage to setup one computer and upload a few pictures for test and it worked, however when I setup computer number 2, nothing happens after I put the pictures on the required location to upload.
    Please let me know if this is feasible and if is not, what do I need to do to enable computer number 2 as the one to use and disable using computer 1 (the one working so far)
    Regards

    You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using your iCloud ID on your PC.

  • IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

    I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
    Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • Can I use iCloud storage for iOS apps?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to work out if it's possible to use iCloud to save/load data across devices with iOS apps created using Air.
    I know there is a lot of talk about now meeting the Apple data storage guidelines eg http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/11/air-ios-solving-apps-must-follow-ios.html
    What I can't understand is if I actually want to use iCloud to save data a user has created in my app (ie condition 1 of the storage guidelines - user generated data, cannot be re-created by application).
    If I was to save this user data to the <Application>/Documents directory...
    a) would it be backed up by iCloud and meet Apples requirements?
    b) if my application was installed on another device is there any way, using Air/AS3, to know that a file has been updated and read the file?
    Please let me know if this doesn't make sense... still trying to get my head around how it all works.
    Thanks.

  • How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

    How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your country code does not appear in the list…
    Go to System Preferences > iCloud > Keychain and enter your Apple ID password (Settings > iCloud > Keychain, from a mobile device)
    Select the ‘Create Different Code’ option. (Mobile devices only)
    Select the advanced option and choose whether to create a random code or no code, selecting the later allows syncing across devices but not with Apple’s servers.

  • Unable to use iCloud on my iPhone 4S

    I'm unable to use iCloud on my iPhone 4S.  I click on Settings, Scroll to iCloud, Click on iCloud, and then it prompts me to enter my Apple ID and Password.  After I do I click on Sign in and it says User name or password is incorrect and I know they're not.  I try signing in with the same Apple ID and Password and I have no problem signing in.  I don't know what's going on.  Can someone please help?? 

    You need an Internet connection to use Facetime. As not all carriers support Facetime you may need a WiFi connection.

  • How can I use icloud email aliases on windows 7

    Hello,
    Is there any way I can use my icloud email aliases on a windows 7 machine other than icloud.com?  I've tried outlook, but it won't allow me to send from my aliases and icloud.com is so slow it's maddening.  I've searched online and haven't come up with anything so I'm doubtful that there is a solution but would be so happy if there was.
    Many thanks.

    Any have some inspiration to share on this one?
