How do I downgrade to a previous iOS?

I am using iTunes 10.6.1 I need to install an iOS version that is compatible with this version. I have found that each subsequent iOS version is more bloated than the last. I have a 16GB iPhone 4S so minimizing the space used by the iOS is a priority. Presently the phone is running iOS 8.2 (it wants to upgrade, but I won't sacrafice the space in order to do so.

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.

How can I downgrade to a previous version?

How can I downgrade to a previous version. I upgraded to 2.3 and now my site is totally hosed because the fonts on the master page are changing size arbitrarily without me touching them. I've had to eliminate my site map on the bottom of my master page because I've spent over 20 hours trying to correct the issue and can't seem to get anywhere. Even completely recreating the page doesn't correct the problem.
I was going to simply change a few photos from an older backup copy of the html files, but when I opened them with the 2.3 version, it changed all of the font sized on those files too.
I need my site working properly, so, how can I downgrade to the previous version and get my site working again until the bug is fixed?
Help please!

Hi there, how do you downgrade to a previous iTunes version on a Mac?

Hi there, how do you downgrade to a previous iTunes version on a Mac?

What exactly do we repair permissions of inn disk utility?
OK. The easy explanation:
Mac OS X is a UNIX based operating system and like all other UNIX operating systems, its usage is controlled by permissions. Which user has some, all or no permission to read, write to and otherwise modify files and folders. Applications also have or do not have certain permissions.
In Mac OS X "Library" folder is a sub folder called "Receipts". When software is installed using Apple's Installer application it deposits a .pkg file in Receipts, containing information about the software and what it's permissions should be.
If for some reason those permissions are corrupted or changed to something they should not be, using Disk Utility to repair permissions compares what the current permissions are with the information contained in the .pkg files. Should Disk Utility find differences, it uses the information to correct those permissions.
Disk Utility does not repair permissions on applications that are installed via another routine, such as a custom installer or drag and drop. Neither does it repair permissions on any files or folders that you create.

Many thanks b Noir
This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

How do you downgrade to a previous version of firefox?

How do you down grade to a previous version of Firefox on an Android Phone? Current versions of Firefox no longer work with our WIFI network. Starting sometime around version 33 or 34 we started noticing that while using WIFI, Firefox would freeze every minute or two. Basically it would start to load a page then the progress bar would stop about 1/6th of the way across the screen. If you wait several minutes the bar would continue to about 5/6th of the way across the screen and then stop and not continue to load the page. If you turn WIFI off and then back on, Firefox will again work for a minute or two then freeze again. The timing is very specific and is not bound by a number of clicks. It also happens on all websites. The problem is not with the WIFI network because all programs including Chrome and the Android Browser work fine with WIFI. Also previous versions of Firefox work fine with the WIFI. We have the problem across several phone and manufacture types as well as across Android versions. We also did not have the freezing problem during a time of lower WIFI usage. So the problem specifically has to do with using newer versions of Firefox on a busy WIFI network. Because it may take time to fix these issues in Firefox we would like to downgrade to a previous version of Firefox that we know works with our WIFI network.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Roland
Here are the answers to your questions:
What models of Android tablets and phones are you using?
Samsung Note 4 (running Android 5.0.1), Samsung Rugby Pro (Running Android 4.1.2), Galaxy S5 Active (running Android 4.4.4) & Kyocera-E6560 (Running Android 4.4.2). There are others, but these are the ones I have access to right now.
What version of Firefox for Android are you using?
I started noticing the problem with version 34 on. It could have started with earlier versions but I first noticed it with version 34--we did a large phone upgrade and installed version 34 which was the current version at the time. I just tried 37.02 and am still having the problem.
As a side note I have an old Samsung note 1 (on Android 3.0.8). It is running Version 17 of Firefox and does not have the same problem.
Steps to reproduce: What did you do exactly, what happened and what did you expect?
For instance if I do a Google search trying to research something I type in the search hit and hit go. I then click on a link in the search and let the page load. Look at the page to see if it has the answer I need. Then hit the back button and repeat the process with the next link. After about 1.5 to 2 minutes Firefox starts to load the page then the progress bar freezes about 1/6th of the way across the screen. If you wait several minutes the progress bar generally will continue to about 4/6th or 5/6th of the way across the screen then freeze again. If you turn WIFI off then on again Firefox will work for another 1.5 to 2 minutes and freeze again.
Same thing happens if you are on a web page clicking through links on the page. The problem occurs on all web pages.
Also more details on your wifi network would be helpful:
Hmmm, this is a difficult one--I work at the University of Washington, but not with the IT department that manages the technology infrastructure. So I don’t have a lot of technical details. Basically (among other jobs) I do the phone support for the Campus maintenance division. I support 250 to 300 users. While I do not have a lot of the specifics I will do my best to give you a general idea.
The best way to think of the UW is a small city. We have about 45,000 students and somewhere between 20,000 to 30,000 staff plus visitors. On any given day we can have 80,000 to 90,000 people on campus all of which are capable of using the WIFI network. So when I say we have a high volume WIFI network it is extremely high volume.
I noticed the problem with Firefox before and after spring break, but did not have the problem during spring break. WIFI usage would have been way down during this time because there would have been fewer people on campus. So the problem only seems to occur when volumes are very high.
I had a meeting with a UW-IT rep several months ago and he explained that the 2.4 network was near capacity some places on campus, but the 5.0 network had plenty of bandwidth on it. I think most of the phones I have been using work on the 2.4 network, but the Note 4 works with the 5.0 network also and has the same problem. Additionally all other programs work fine with WIFI so I do not think capacity is the issue.
Also I know Firefox itself is not the issue because it worked during spring break and it works on the cellular network. So some combo of the high volume network and Firefox seems to be creating the problem. Maybe has to do with how Firefox handles things when capacity is reached or exceeded.
As another side note I did not have the problem with my home network, but I was only using 2 phones at the time.
It sounds like you are technical since you have done so much testing. Please file a bug with the steps to reproduce at:
I have some technical skills, but really I am just good at research. I will do my best with the bug report :)
As for downgrading (which we DO NOT recommend & support since older versions don't have security fixes!) you can install an old nightly from:
I will try to work my way back to see if I can figure out what version of Firefox the problem started with.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or need any additional info.
Thanks!

How can I downgrade my iPad from iOS 7.0.2 to 7.0

How can I downgrade my IPad from 7.0.2 iOS to iOS 7.0? I do not how airplay and mirroring.

You first need to carefully check to make sure the outgoing mail servers address is entered correctly. Also make sure your user name and password are correct. Check with your email provider to find the correct settings.
If the settings are correct and you still cannot send Mail delete the mail account and set it up again.

How can I return to the previous ios version?

Version 7 is a step backward for me.
>The Calendar does an awful job displaying the All-Day Events.
>I can't figure out how to get the previous search page showing web search and Wikipedia search.
>Where is an easy to follow description of the changes from the previous version?
>>Overall, this is a less attractive interface and less intuitive than version 6.

How can I downgrade to the previous version I was using? It was better, more user-friendly, than my current one.

Around two months ago I upgraded my Firefox. I don't remember to what version (and to my surprise, when I clicked on Firefox today, it automatically upgraded to version 5, which seems to me to have the same problem), but it doesn't have an icon to stop a page from opening and when I want to go back to a previous page, there is no tab (might not have the right word) to click that will show a drop-down list of the pages I went to before, so I have to click back, back, back, until I find what I want. Previously, the back, forward, refresh, and stop icons were together on the left side. There's still a reload button (now on the right), but why no "stop"? That's very important. Plus the drop-down list of web pages visited.
I also found right after I upgraded that my Yahoo mail was affected. Let's say I open an email, then click on back to return to my inbox. Instead of going one page back to the list of emails I received, it goes back to the first web page after logging in, the page where Yahoo says I have this many messages and there are updates on my friends. So I have to click on inbox again to see my list of messages. Or, still in the inbox, say I want to revisit old messages which are three pages away from the first page listing my messages, so I click "next" twice to get to them and then open one, and then click "back"---what happens is, I find myself back to the very first page instead of the third one! So I have to click "next" again!
You can imagine how inconvenient it is. All of this started in the very same session when I upgraded my Firefox to the version Mozilla was promoting then. So I'd like to have my old version back, which I had no problems with. Thanks for your help.

I want to know how to DISABLE the automatic updates and return to the earlier version that has a MUCH better toolbar and is MUCH easier to use I am using MAC OS 10.5.8 on a G5 tower and loved Firefox until now and did NOT want the update that automatically installed itself!

How can i downgrade my iphone 3gs ios from 6.1 to 4.1

i upgrade my 3gs iphone from 4.1 to 6.1 but unable to activate iphone, and still it is not connecting with itune but now i want to downgrade back to 4.1 from 6.1, please guide me to do this process, and also i want to know how can i factory unlock my iphone 3gs without making a phone call to Apple Care????

It seems like your phone might be done for then.. I had a White 3G do this to me.. Although I DONT suggest it, smacking it around seemed to get it connected every now and then, but if it was dropped again it would stop working..
Also, make sure your SIM card is clean & properly inserted into the phone!

How can I downgrade ipad 2 from ios 6 to 5.1.1?

Bought iPad yesterday. This morning was prompted to upgrade to iOS 6. I did. Now I want iOS 5.1.1 back.

I wanted to downgrade because Youtube and Google maps are gone in iOS 6.
Apple support said use "Youtube iphone app". It takes 1/4 of the screen. If they sold me iPad for 1/4 price I would have done it. I paid full price, I want full app. Then they said "use Safari, go to Youtube URL". So many extra clicks, part of the screen taken by the browser. Again, why pay for supposedly "perfect" Apple product, when you cannot use those features that make it "perfect"?
I do not even want to start on AppleMaps.
When I tried to restore original factory image - it gave me iOS 6, although my original iPad was iOS 5.1.1. It was less than 48 h after purchase and after 1st startup.
Imagine, you buy a product with several apps you are going to use. Then next day it says "do you want to upgrade?". Click Yes. The apps you bought the product for, are gone! Thank you very much!
Returned the iPad to the store. Sorry.
