How can I Revert back to IOS7 from IOS8?

Hi Folks,
Is there a way that I can revert back to IOS7 from IOS8 after install on both iPhone and an IPad?
I did not back up either of these devices before doing the upgrade.
I know I should always back up before any updates, but I'm hoping the fact that I did not might be of help in my case.
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW: why do I want to do this? Ever since going to IOS8 my devices have become much slower to start up and also seem jerky during operation.
I have two iPhone 4S's and one iPad

Note that what Allan is suggesting is a way to resolve your issues. It will not downgrade your software version.

How can I revert back to Yosemite from Windows 8.1?

Looks like I've really screwed up this time. I was trying to set up Windows 8.1 on my iMac Yosemite) and decided to use boot camp. After 8.1 was installed I wanted to go back to Yosemite but can't seem to do it. Is there no way to return to Yosemite from boot camp? I know the drive was partitioned into OS X and Windows sections and when I reboot holding down the option key, there is no partition for OS X shown. Please help.

Please see Boot Camp for comments.

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

TS2518 How can I revert back to the original Aperture 3?

How can I revert back To my oraginal Aperture 3? 3.4.1 has screwd everything up for me!

That will be tricky, if you already upgraded your Aperture library to version 3.4.1.
You need to restore an earlier version of your Aperture Library from your backup.
You need to restore an earlier Aperture version.
How did you buy Aperture? Do you have installation media or a serial number for Aperture 3?
And do you have a TimeMachine backup of your Aperture Library or a vault?
What is the problem with your current Aperture Library? Maybe it will be easier to fix your current system then to downgrade.

I have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8. Many of my appliatins will not work.. HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

Before you revert anything try this:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Next time don't post something like "nothing but trouble." Tell us exactly what the trouble is and provide any additional information such as error messages.

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.

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

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

How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

I was able to switch out my HD to a previous drive with Snow Leopoard and FCPX 10.0.2. Final Cut Pro is working again like magic! I don't think it has anything to do with Lion. I already miss some of it's features. I am once again scrolling backwards. Within 5 minutes of using FCP 10.0.2 I already notice huge improvements of speed and lack of beach ball. I can honestly say that 10.0.3 is a completely unsuable application unless you have the patience to wait 15-30 seconds between the pushing of any button on the keyboard or the slightest movement of the mouse, well trackpad. Either way FCPX 10.0.3 is a dissappointment on so many levels. I am even giving up my solid state drive to revert back to the awesomeness of FCP 10.0.2.
Really looking forward to the improvements on FCPX but feel that Apple should be releasing the software as Beta and offering it free for those who want to help develop and make it better.

How can I switch back and forth from Classic to Tiger

How can I switch back and forth from OS9.2.2 to Tiger without restarting? I want Classic as my startup system.

I think that the number of clicks to open a file is a rather shortsighted way to compare two operating systems.<<</div>
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse ME!
I happen to think it's a pain to click twice on files when I'm used to clicking just once.
But Tiger is a nice operating system. I enjoy that it has much more capabilities than the OS9. I mean, Tiger keeps up with the advancing internet. My beef is really against OS9. I can open OS9 in Tiger but not Tiger in OS9.

How do I revert back to Lion from Mavericks?

How do I revert back to Lion from Maverick? Maverick does not support our server.

If you do end up needing to go the erase and re-install route because you do not have current backup to restore from, ensure that you make a clone or Time Machine copy of your current setup before doing the erase and re-install of Lion as the erase process will delete all your data.

HT1766 How can I bring back the information from an application that was mistakenly deleted?

How can I bring back the information from an application that was mistakenly deleted?

Only if you backed up the phone before that and did not back up after that. App settings and data are part of the backup. But all other data will be set back as well, you can't choose a single app to be restored from the backup.
