How can I get back ios 6

My wife upgraded to ios 7 and can't stand it. I find it very hard to read the screen. How do I get ios 6 back on her phone?

Some other potentially useful ideas, quoted from pvonk, another user here:
General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion to ON. This seems to cost me the pretty effects with app icons, but with all of the fuzziness they've added to folders and the your-apps bar, it helps avoid ~shifting~ fuzziness. Which turns out to cause problems for me. Who knew?
General -> Accessitiliby -> Invert Colors to ON. ******* ONLY while in the Settings menu or Apple's screens like Safari, Reminders and Mail. I've been told I might be able to assign it to a triple tap, which should make switching easier. Haven't figured out how yet.
App Switcher - Either don't use it or kill all Apple screens you aren't actively using. This cuts down on the large light squares that fill the screen in the app switcher now. Not using it would be a hassle, but would also cut down on the heightened visibility of everything I have open when switching between apps I use at work. I'm undecided which I'll end up going with.
Use new screen pages instead of folders. I love the new folder design. My migraine-ridden brain doesn't, though. /-: With the old folder design, you knew an app in a folder was on screen if the folder was open and could let your gaze sweep over it multiple times to identify the icon. Now it may not be on the screen, so you have to focus specifically on smaller icons against a fuzzy-ish background. Focusing on something meant to be fuzzy is apparently one of my headache triggers. If the folders were darker or I could show the same number of icons, this would be much less a problem, but for now... I'm not sure that having a page for each folder is doable or worth the hassle, though. Might just end up moving the apps I use less often into a set of folders on a last page I don't have to visit often or just deleting them to minimize folders.
Remember your brightness setting needs to be lower than it looks. This one seems obvious but surprised me with the frustration it causes. When you open the lower dock that has the brightness control, it darkens the rest of the screen. If you set your brightness so that what you want to look at seems right, it will brighten further after you close the menu and go back to it. I don't have a feel yet for how much lower I need to set the brightness, but I assume that will come with time. Also: Setting brightness higher makes the menu itself brighter to look at, so judge headache likeliness with that in mind.
Settings -> Wallpapers & Brightness -> Auto-Brightness to OFF. This OS is super on-the-ball about adjusting brightness automatically. Which is awesome sometimes, but less so when you manually set the brightness, go back to the screen and watch it change from what you just set it to. You may end up with darker screens than you want until you adjust the setting, but you won't end up with brighter screens than you want.

    How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my two iphones4 and my ipad2?
    Since more than 6 monthes I can't use
    * video for more than 5 minutes,
    * tv-streams for more than 5 minutes,
    * apple store updates in case of more than one update,
    * itunes download in case of more than one download object,
    * remote control
    * air play with appletv3
    without errors.
    On ios 6.x (incl. 6.1.2) all important apple media integration are just useless.

    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, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the passoword?, How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the password?

    Help!   My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it.  How can she get back into it.  Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way.   Thanks!

    Hey KimmyP123,
    Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT5500 how can i get "via iOS" in my postings and comments from my iPhone?

    how can i get "via iOS" in my postings and comments on facebook from my iPhone?

    I have the same issue.  NO "via ios" ONLY "via mobile"
    iPhone 4 - IOS 6.0.1
    iPad 3rd Generation IOS 6.0.1
    FB App installed both devices from Settings//Facebook/Install App using IOS FB Integration with my username/password.
    Troubleshooting Done to this point -
    Uninstalled FB on iPhone and reinstalled again using the FB in Settings/Facebook/Install App. Entered my username/password in Settings/Facebook.
    Turned Wi-Fi off and posted using Cellular connection  (says via mobile).
    Turned Cellular off and posted connected to Wi-Fi  (says via mobile)
    Set iPad 3 back to factory default.
    Reinstalled everything fresh (did not use iCloud backup).
    Installed FB app from Settings/Facebook/Install App. and entered username/password in Settings/Facebook.
    Turned Wi-Fi off and posted using 4G cellular connection.  (says via mobile)
    Turned 4G Cellular off and posted via Wi-Fi  (says via mobile)
    ALL of my posts from both devices show as being "via mobile". This is extremely frustrating since everyone else in the world seems to post status/comments/pictures/etc from their iPhones and iPads and get the "via IOS" except me.
    At first I thought maybe it was an iPhone 4 issue, but the iPad 3 is the newest version of iPad and even it says "posted via mobile" instead of "ios".

    Hi Mohammad,
    I'm sorry that you have lost your phone.
    If you need to erase the personal information on your phone remotely, here are the steps to do that:
    iCloud: Erase your device remotely
    If your device is lost or stolen, you can erase the personal information (such as your contacts, email, and music) and settings on that device to prevent anyone else from seeing or using your information.
    Important:   Before you erase all the information on your device, try to locate it or play a sound on it. After you erase the information on an iOS device, you won’t be able to use Find My iPhone to locate it or play a sound. You may still be able to use Find My iPhone to locate your Mac after you erase it.
    If you erase your iOS device and then find it, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see the user guide for your device in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website.
    To erase your device remotely, you need to have set up Find My iPhone on the device before it was lost.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • How can i get back a deleted text message

    how can i get back a very important text message i deleted by mistake.my phone is iphone 3g
    thank you

    I'm going to post what I found via Google. As I understand, it works for some, not for others, so I'm not vouching for this, so do it at your own risk:
    FACT: SMS messages remain on the iPhone after deletion. When “deleted” on the iPhone, they are technically hidden and marked for deletion. Text messages are then deleted only after sync with iTunes.
    In order to recover a deleted text message or messages, run through the following 4 easy steps:
    STEP 1:
    Make sure iTunes doesn’t automatically sync with iPhone when connected.
    STEP 2:
    Connect your iPhone to iTunes and Back up by selecting Preferences > Backup from iTunes, or right-click on your iPhone and choose back up.
    STEP 3:
    Restore your iPhone by selecting Restore under Preferences. Note that restoring the iPhone will restore the previous iPhone firmware. Your iPhone will be completely erased after the new firmware is installed. So make sure your back up is good!
    STEP 4:
    The final step will be to restore your iPhone from the back up you created on step 2. This will allow you to restore any data you have backed up, including the “deleted” text messages.
    That’s it!
    It’s important to distinguish between iPhone data restore and iPhone firmware restore.
    iPhone data restore allows you to restore data you have already backup on iTunes. This is your photos, video, text messages…etc.
    iPhone firmware restore is pretty much like a restore to factory switch. This will restore your iPhone to the previous firmware or system and no user data. This option is often recommended if your suspect that your iPhone OS or iOS is unstable.

  • In my music i have lost the column right with the alphabetic order ... how can i get back ?

    in my music i have lost the column right with the alphabetic order .. how can i get back ?

    Hello Camcam369,
    It sounds like you are not seeing the alphabet listed on the right when perusing songs, artists, or albums in the Music app.  I recommend a couple of steps you can take to get it back.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPod touch:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Music app, I recommend restarting your iPod and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full article here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPod touch:

  • How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?

    Gorgeous Hello All,
    If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
    Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
    A hurdle :-
    I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
    I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
    -> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
    How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
    (I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
    Help Please

Looks like need to write few liner code to get this issue settled )
    Thanks Indeed of lots for your concerns Jeff !!!
