How can I go back to iOS 6, iOS 7 is buggy and just looks dreadful?

After using iOS7 since Tuesday, it is becoming ever clearer just how awful this update is. Beyond the icons which seem to include a colour pallette of 16 million different shades - and use all of them - iOS 7 seems to have included some changes which defy all logic altogether e.g. the volume icon which appears when you're watching videos was always transparent and unobtrusive, now it's opaque and blocks out a good share of the screen - WHY, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
As I say, how can upgrade back to iOS 6?

Apple does not support downgrading! Sorry!

How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my iphones 4 and my ipad 2?

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 I retrieve back up's from my old Iphone and download them onto my PC?

I have a couple old iphones with pictures saved on my icould but they are broken. How can I retrive my icould information and save it on my PC?

When you say that you have pictures saved on iCloud from those old phones, do you mean that you backed them up to iCloud at some point? Were the photos taken on the phones? Did you have Photo Stream? Is it the same iCloud account as your new phone?
Here's why I am asking - if they are on the same iCloud account and had Photo Stream, any chance you are still seeing the photos on Photo Stream on your new phone?
If you are certain that the last backups to iCloud that you did with those phones contain the photos you want, you could always take the radical step of restoring a phone to one of those backups, importing the photos, then restoring that phone to the other backup, and importing those photos....
Depends on how badly you want to get those photos....it would be a complicated process, and you would want to make sure that you had the device you were doing all of that on backed up as well, so you could ultimately restore it back to the way it was before you started messing around.....also, they would all need to be on the same iCloud account or you would have to then start messing around with the iCloud settings as well.
But just wanted to let you know that there would be a way to do it....just not a very quick and easy way.

How can I get Back all of my data after restoring and back up ? I lost my data and I did back up

when I did restore and update .. I lost all of my data , then I pressed to back up buttom , when I try to restore data , its disapper . is there anyway to get back all data lost ?

If you are backing up to your computer, check iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, if there are nay other backups listed.
Since each backup replaces the old one if not used to restore from, your data might be lost since you seem to have backed up a phone without any personal data.
Check this article about how to restore from backups:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Ever since upgrading to Firefox 4, my webpages load much much slower. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox and keep my bookmarks, etc.?

I don't have any details. The Question explains it all. We just upgraded from 1.5 Mbps to 18 Mbps download speed and webpages opened really quick until I downloaded and installed Firefox 4. I have Internet Explorer 9, but I do not use it. I would just like to go back to the most current previous version of Firefox and keep my settings and bookmarks to see if webpages still load as slow as they are loading now. If so, then it's not the browser and I'll have to troubleshoot.

You can download Firefox 3.6 from this page:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
However, I'm not sure of the best procedure for removing Firefox 4. You might want to search these forums a bit for advice so you don't lose Bookmarks and other settings.

I'd like to save space for more sites on my bookmark bar so I'd like to take off the text on the bookmark bar and just leave the site Icon's...that way there will be much more space to add on more sites to my bookmark bar.

SImple open the bookmark properties and erase the name, to open the bookmark properties:
*Go to '''Bookmarks''' >> '''Show all bookmarks''' >> or press '''Ctrl+Shift+B ''' click on the bookmark to see the properties.
*Go to bookmark page click on the blue star to see the properties or Press Ctrl+D

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

HT1688 I updated my iPhone 5C to the iOS 7.0.1 "bug fixes" update and it has made my phone glitch constantly and has just made it a complete nightmare. How can I go back down to iOS 7?

basically yeah, I updated my software because it said that iOS 7.0.1 was out as a bug fixes update and now my phone constantly glitches the **** out, its super slow, and it pretty much created more bugs than it did fix them. So how can I go back to iOS 7? because 7.0.1 is an absolute nightmare.

Try updating to iOS 7.0.2.
Does your iPhone still have performance issues? Have you tried the basics?

TS1398 My iPhone 5s can no longer use Internet on a wifi network. I've reset everything, how can I roll back to iOS 7?

i Was considerinf buying a macbook pro, but am reconsidering spending such an amount of money on a company that can screw up such a basic function. I mean you can have your iOS 8 back if this is what it means, I don't want to use your health Kit app.

You cannot 'roll back' your iOS. That's never been supported or allowed by Apple (with only one exception).
Use this article: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple
It's not the iOS. It may be a setting on your iPhone or the wi-fi network, or a hardware issue. But it's not the iOS. If it was, then everyone's iPhone 5S using the same iOS would not be working, and that's not the case.
Troubleshoot your issue.

Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

How can i transfer back up contact from desktop pc working on Windows 7 to iphone 5 working on ios 8.1?

You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

The error means that your antivirus or firewall is blocking the update process.
