  • How do I restore without updating software from 1.2.1. to 1.3

    Here's my dilema, and hopfully someone can advise how to fix it:
    I have a Pioneer AVH-P5900DVD (car stereo) and it is compatible with iPod's, which have software version 1.2.1., but no higher.
    I have a 5th gen iPod which had version 1.2.1., but I accidentally updated the software via iTunes to 1.3. Now the iPod wont work with the car stereo.
    I couldn't find out how to downgrade the software from 1.3 to 1.2.1., so I managed to find a 2nd hand 5th gen ipod on eBay, which had 1.2.1. When I connected it to iTunes to transfer my music onto it, it stated that its formatted for Mac, rather than Windows, so I had to re-format the drive. iTunes then stated that I need to restore the iPod, and when I do this, it will only let me restore it with the latest version of the software (1.3). I do not want to do this.
    I found the software folders in my computer, and it seems that the earliest version i have is 1.2.3, and iTunes did give me the option of retoring with this version. But it wont work with my Pioneer stereo, which will only work with 1.2.1. or earlier.
    So, I either need to:
    1) downgrade my original iPod from 1.3. to 1.2.1.
    2) restore my new iPod (which has 1.2.1. installed), without updating to 1.3
    3) find and download the software files for 1.2.1. from the web, but I cant find them. They should be called: -
    iPod_25.1.2.1.ipsw
    iPod_25.1.2.1.ipsw.signature
    If I managed to get hold of these, I could add them to my computer, then iTunes should allow me to choose 1.2.1. as a restore version on my new iPod.
    If anyone knows the solutions for 1 or 2, or where I can get the above mentioned files, please let me know.

    Thanks

    I managed to find the .ipsw files on an old laptop, which enabled me to restore both ipods to 1.2.1.
    Problem solved.

  • How do you restore without updating?

    I'm trying to restore my iPad 3 to factory defaults but iTunes insists on downloading 6.1.1. I already have 6.1 and I just want to restore the iPad but this 10MB update is insisting on taking about 5 hours to download (My internet can download about 100MB in 10 minutes. Why 5 hours?)
    Is there a way to force it to use 6.1?

    You can't. If you restore your phone, iOS 6.0.1 will be installed on it.

    please help me

    You can't.
    What you can do is go to your nearest Nokia Care Point and explain the situation and why you'd rather roll back to an older version. They might be able to flash the phone with older firmware but there's no guarantee that they will.

  • How Can I restore my ipod shuffle to factory setting (without all the software updates)?

    After updating my ipod shuffle, my car no longer recognize it. I cannot connect it to my car via usb. For the past few weeks I have been listen to only songs on the radio. I tried to restore it, but fond out that all it did was removed all my songs ect, but the update is still the most current version. Please someone, please help me. How can I restore my ipod shuffle to the original factory setting without all the update.

    You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
    iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
    Next try:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                 
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without doing the restore through iTunes? He can't remember his passcode and when I try to restore through iTunes it never completes the update/restore without timing out?!?!

    HOw can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without going through iTunes restore? When I plug into iTunes it will never complete the update/restore without timing out? He can't remember his password. I can't get my iTunes to update to the newest level either without timing out. Please help!

    The thread title differs from the original post, sorry for the confusion.  I read password instead of passcode.
    The only way past a passcode lock is by entering the passcode.  Refer to HT1212 iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen:
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    As for timing out during the restore...
    If there isn't any antivirus or firewalls in the way, I would try restoring from a different user account or even a different computer.  If still unable to restore without timing out, I would try a different network.

  • Macbook upgraded from 10.5.8 to mountain lion. I lost the update when I tried to restore my old information. How can I get my update back without paying again?

    I took my mac to an iStore in South Africa however my country does not have an iStore. Macbook upgraded from 10.5.8 to mountain lion. I lost the update when I tried to restore my old information. How can I get my update back without paying again?

    Ok, that sounds like a valid approach...but now the question is, when you say you lost the upgrade when you tried to restore, exactly what do you mean?  Restore from a Time Machine backup, or another kind of backup?  What happened to the operating system when you did that?
    If it damaged the operating system, you should be able to recover it by restarting your computer holding either the Option key (should result in a grey screen that shows the macintosh hard drive and a recovery hard drive), or by holding the Command and R keys while starting.
    You can use the recovery hard drive to reinstall Mac OS X either way.  If the Option key restart, click on the recovery hard drive to boot from that.
    Then with either approach you will have a screen with a drop-down that gives you choices, such as install Mac OS X, Disk Utility, Terminal.  You will want to use Install (or Reinstall) Mac OS X...note, you must be connected to the internet from this point on.

    You need a computer with iTunes installed to regain use of your iPod.  Unless you have the iPod backup file from the syncing computer all you can do is to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod.  You will also need to place the iPod in recovery mode is you restore the iPod on other than on its syncing computer.  For reoverymode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Remember the passcode is a security feature.

  • How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

    How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft website I've clicked the options which mean I shouldn't need the CD (which wasn't supplied with the laptop), but poartway through updating the service pack I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Did you mean a Office or One Note?
    As far as I know the One Note is a part of the Recovering Image and the CD is not delivered with the unit. Furthermore the Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.
    Nevertheless, did you check the update function in the Help i.e. in Word?
    There you will find a options called Check for Updates

  • How can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data

    how can i restore old backup without deleting my existing data. unfortunately i have deleted few of my old photos and restored them from my old backup. i got the deleted photos but lost my recent data and photos. how can i get those too.

    You cannot. However, if your back up is through iTunes on your computer and you do an internet search for something like "iPhone BackUpExtractor", I believe there is software that will help you access the SQL database that is your back up. You may be able to pull out what you need.
    Once you restore from a back up, any data that was on the phone is gone.
