Downgrading iPod?

Is it possible to downgrade your iPod. I updated my ipod with the latest iPod updater and now it keeps freezing on me. I was wonder if I tried to downgrade it to the updater I receive with my ipod if it might help me out.

You need to select Restore, not update.
If you have to send it in, you should get a box to return it usually within two days.
They don't "get back" to you.

  • How to downgrade iPod 5g? (IOS 7.1 - IOS 7.0.6)

    Ok so I don't really like the IOS 7.1 update so just wondering how I can downgrade iPod 5g from IOS 7.1  to IOS 7.0.6 or something.
    Thx

    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.

  • Downgraded to iT6.0.5--now how do I downgrade iPod??

    After successfully getting rid of iTunes 7, my iPod will no longer update because it won't work with 6.0.5. How do I downgrade iPod 1.2 to an earlier version? Is that even possible?

    I was going to suggest that you Restore from Backup, but it sounds like you are having trouble with backups. But at this point, I don't think it would really hurt. Plug in your phone to iTunes, click Restore. Let it do its thing, and when it is done, select Restore from Backup, and hope that one of your successful backups contain your stuff on them.

  • How to downgrade ipod touch 4G 6.1.1 to 5.0.1 ios

    how to downgrade ipod touch 4G 6.1.1 to 5.0.1 ios

    As I said downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    When you restore the iPod to factory serttings/new iPod the iPod always ends up with the latest iOS available for that model iPod.

    Well the only way I can think of downgrading software is making a hard reset of your ipod: setting it up as a new ipod, and not upgrading when you're asked to.
    However, if you do this, you'll go back to 4.0.1 -I assume you have an iPod 4th gen- and you'll be asked to upgrade directly to 6.0.1.

  • Downgrade iPod Classic from firmware 2.0.5 to 2.0.4

    Has anyone attempted this?
    My new iPod classic came with firmware 2.0.5, but this firmware isn't compatible with my car stereo, which is the reason I purchased the iPod in the first place. Has anyone successfully downgraded?
    I'm not sure if it's possible as I've heard that iPods that ship with this firmware have different internal components than the ones with 2.0.4.
    Thanks for any insight.

    Hi,
    I am in the same situation : I have to go back from 10.2.0.5 to 10.2.0.4.
    Everybody is asking "why ?".
    For me :
    * My production database is 10.2.0.4
    * Nearly everyday, I have to duplicate it onto one or several other databases, some of them are now 10.2.0.5
    * These databases have all differents names (ORACLE_SID)
    * Only the RMAN DUPLICATE command is supported to restore a database from one database name to another database name (no RMAN RESTORE possible, or at least not recommended)
    * During the RMAN DUPLICATE process, a STARTUP RESETLOGS command is issued ; this does not work because a STARTUP UPGRADE should be issued, and there is no way to tell RMAN to use the UPGRADE clause
    * So I have to go back to 10.2.0.4 on every database. And I will not take any risk by downgrading : I will just de-install and re-install 10.2.0.4.
    * As you can imagine, I am very happy
    * If somebody could tell me I am wrong ...
    Regards,
    Laurent

  • Downgrading iPod Nano Firmware

    Does anybody know how to downgrading apple iPod Nano Firmware ?

    It may be on Apple's site somewhere, but transmitting it any other way is piracy and therefore a violation of the terms of this forum.
    Downgrading firmware is almost never an appropriate way to troubleshoot. If you post complete descriptions of your specific problems, we could probably provide some better ideas.

  • How to downgrade ipod touch without computer?

  • Any possible way to downgrade ipod software with no "shsh blobs" please?

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation with ios 6.1.3. When I first got it, it had ios 5 and I really miss it. I miss it for the nit-picky things, like the old silver status bar, old settings icon (was glossier), old App Store and itunes design, rounded edges on the keyboard etc. I don't have "shsh blobs" so i can't downgrade the traditional way. I can understand why apple doesn't want us to downgrade but do they really need to force me to stick with something I don't prefer and not allow me to go back to the way I like it with ios 5? Why did Apple create shsh blobs? Was it a security thing? All I know is that I want to downgrade to ios 5 for the old look and feel that I prefer, and everything is making it impossible to do so. I don't mean to be a whiner but I feel really nostalgic for ios 5 and I want to go back. Is it possible to downgrade without the .shsh files? Or is there any way to create the shsh files or get them somehow?

    All we can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple

  • How to Downgrade iPod from 1.2.3

    Is there anyway to downgrade from firmware 1.2.3 back to firmware 1.2.1 which I had less problems with.

    Only if you have the previous version still on your computer. If so, try this.
    Remove the latest update from the iTunes/iPod updates folder.
    For Vista, I believe it's C:\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates.
    Then prevent iTunes from checking the internet for a new update (preferences/general and remove the check mark from "check for updates automatically), then click restore. Or simply disconnect your modem from the computer.
    You should then be asked if you want to use the previous version of the iPod software.

  • Method to downgrade iPod software from 1.1 to 1.0.3

    Based on problems with 3G iPod nano software v 1.1, the following is a way to get back to v 1.0.3 which will resolve these issues until Apple gets the bug fixed. The following link describes the issues:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1347183&tstart=0
    To get back to 1.0.3, first go to your User Library > iTunes > iPod and remove the two files labeled as "iPod_26.1.1". I also removed any "previous iTunes Libraries" from my User Documents > Music folder. Then turn off your internet connection to prevent an automatic update to version 1.1. After opening iTunes and connecting the iPod, you can then "Restore", and it will ask if you want the previous version that you have in your library. After restore and sync, you're back in business!!

    Hoss-
    I'm on a Mac, and you have windows, so I'm not sure the files would be identical.
    If you updated your 3rd Gen. iPod Nano before Jan 15, 2008, then the files absolutely must be somewhere on the computer used to sync it. The v 1.0.3 update was early Dec 2007, so if you accepted the update between those dates, you'll have them.
    I'm copying the instructions for windows from the second post in this topic:
    "Thanks for the info. The restore to 1.03 worked fine and the file names were close to the same in WindowsXP and can be found in this user folder C:\Documents and Settings\"User Name"\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates."
    It's possible that the C: drive may not be the location for your computer - so check out all your drives to see where windows buried them. Make sure that drive is active when connecting the iPod.

  • How to go back to iPod version 1.1

    I recently upgraded to version 1.2 of the iPod software. Apparently, there is a bug in this version.
    I have a problem with audiobooks. When I start playing them, the playback starts immediately but the interface on the iPod hangs for several seconds. I can't change the volume, pause or do anything for at least 15 seconds. Version 1.1 did not have this problem.
    I tried restoring my iPod, but this does not replace version 1.2 of the software.
    Is there a way to fix this? Is there a way to go back to 1.1?

    If you have iPod1,12.2.1_5H11Restore.ipsw than I presume that you have the iPod Touch 1 Generation.
    To downgrade iPod touch from firmware 3.0 to 2.2.1 you have to place your ipod in DFU mode
    To enter DFU mode turn your iPod off make sure that it is connected to your Mac or Pc and iTunes is on.
    After you turn off completely your iPod press and hold for 10 seconds the home and sleep/wake button, after 10 seconds release the sleep/wake button while holding the home button pressed for another 10 sec.
    On your Mac or Pc on iTunes you will see this message if you entered successfully in DFU mode: “iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used whit iTunes.” once in DFU mode your iPod screen should be black. Press ok then Shift Restore (Pc) or Alt Restore (Mac) browse for the file: iPod1,12.2.1_5H11Restore.ipsw if you have the iPod Touch 1 Generation if you have the iPod Touch 2 Generation you will need the iPod 12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw

  • SONGS NOT PLAYING iTunes 7, iPod 1.1.2.8

    WOW, HOW ABOUT THAT?! MY IPOD WON'T PLAY MUSIC... I recently upgraded to the new itunes (computer reformat) and upon plugging my working ipod in, it prompts to upgrade to iPod 1.2. Assuming (regretably) that it might have fixed some of the problems in 1.1.1.0, I agreed. Now none of the songs I transfer will even play on my ipod. I cannot click "play" on an artist OR "Music" or an album, unless it's one that it wants to play.
    If anyone has any fixes, suggestions, besides going WAY OUT of my way. PLEASE reply. Otherwise, I plan on restoring my ipod and hopefully finding a download of the less-sh**ty v6 of iTunes.
    I guess I will HAVE TO F*ING RESTORE my IPOD FOR THE I-DON'T-KNOW-HOW-MANY'TH TIME. THIS IS REDICULOUS!!! AN IPOD THAT DOESN'T PLAY MUSIC!!! Of course, they have those Pay-For games down pat, don't they. You Mac fans have no idea about a monopoly. What choices do you have for an operating system? I will use this HACK to downgrade:

    Set the visible build ID to a lower number than you want to update to. This will allow you to again UPGRADE to a new version instead of having to do a factory restore. Why they don't let you do this by default, I don't know. But it works fine.

    I too can't believe that Apple has pubically done nothing to admit there are "issues" with iTunes 7. All of management must be too busy congradulating themselves for a job well done releasing wonderful new product with the revolutionary iTunes 7. Shouldn't these people be working on Windows Vista?
    So far, I've lost everything on my iPod, all of my podcasts cannot be transferred from my computer, I can't run any Windows programs while iTunes is running or my computer locks up so bad I have to un plug it and iTunes will not even open if you don't have an internet connection. Yeah this is really convienent. Nice job.
    I really hope that the person responsible for releasing this looses their job as this has not only cost me money from my lost purchased downloads but also lost productivity in taking the time to troubleshoot this software that countless engineers should have done.

  • My ipod video sound cuts out after 30 sec

    I play my movie and the sound cuts out after a while and then it only plays the video with no sound. It's not the video because it works fine on my computer and all the other videos are doing the same thing. I found if I rewind or fast foreward the sound comes back but only for a little while and the sound cuts out again.

    This happens with the current firmware 1.1 upgrade on the iPod. You can downgrade the firmware to 1.0 and this will solve that problem. Doing it this way you won't have to restore the iPod which will erase it. If you can't do this then you can restore the iPod using the previous updater.

  • IPod Touch: How to go back to version 2.2.1 if I don't like 3.0

    Just wondering if it is possible to go back to version 2.2.1 if I upgrade to 3.0 and don't like it.
    I have the full copy of everything on my MacBook - but of course everytime I connect via USP it updates and makes everything the same so if I update to version 3.0 now, then an hour later sync to the Mac - then the version 2.2.1 is gone.
    In fact, I am not sure I'd know how to do this -- my iPod is in the automatic sync mode now- would I have to go to manual sync? Any comments or web site links to assist me here appreciated.
    Thanks.
