How do I downgrade to iOS 5 from iOS7!!!

I had a sinking feeling iOS7 was going to turn out badly... But still I foolishly updated my iPad 2. Now I feel like an idiot because of course it totally fubar'd my iPad not to mention when it does work it is an absolutely ATROCIOUS OS... My god... Apple really crapped the bed on this one... Please help.. I just want my iOS5 back.

Apple does not support iOS downgrades.There have been many people encouraging this but you should know that Apple views an attempt to downgrade the iOS as unauthorized tampering and will void the warranty and any future support for that device.

    You cannot "downgrade". Apple does not support returning to back levels of iOS.

    You can't and downgrading is not supported by Apple so you may have to sell your phone instead.

    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.

    my  ipod touch is 3rd gen how can i update my ios from 4.2.1 to 5.1.1 when i shift + restore and load the ipod3_5.1.1.ios its always say your firmware is not compatible

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    Remember, the majority of people that come to this site do so because they are experiencing a problem.  However, only a very, very small percentage of Apple users come to this forum, because they do not have any problems.
    Using this forum as a guideline for how prevelant a problem is affecting the overall Apple community is like going to a hospital, seeing that most of the people there are sick, and concluding that most of the city's population is also sick.
    Additonally, the OP reported that updating to iOS 7.1 resolved the issue, so you advice is misplaced.
    A LOT of iPhone 4 users DO have problem with personal hotspot after upgrade to 7.1, I am one of them. 265 people reported that same problem there and more then 20.000 people read that thread.Please go and reed here:

  • How do i downgrade to IOS-5 last version?

    How do i downgrade to IOS-5 last version?

    By upgrading the ios on my IPhone 4S I feel I have downgraded the experience.  In addition to the useful google maps and YouTube, my phone performance has dropped. Battery life is lower, responsiveness is bad, safari gets stuck and overall a slow machine. To me it reminds of the old days when people would upload the latest windows on an old PC where the hardware didn't support the upgrade and your computer becomes less useful. But in that case you could at least revert unlike our nice apple people who don't give you the choice. I regret upgrading and the only reason was that I hate those red notifications on the icons that tell you there is an update. Now I feel this is more annoying than that.

    How do you downgrade to iOS 6?

    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 do I downgrade my subscription from Adobe CC to Photoshop only?

    I signed up for a yearly subscription around October 2013 for CC.  But I've only learnt to use Photoshop and I never use the other programmes.  I'm currently not working so I cannot afford the $49.99 a month subscription.  I would like to downgrade my subscription/membership to Photoshop only, as $9.99 a month is within my budget.  I have tried the Chat facility a few times, but I have never been successful in getting anyone online to talk to. The last time I tried, I was waiting online for over an hour and just kept getting the "thank you for your patience" message. 
    Please let me know if it's possible to downgrade to Photoshop only, and if so, how to go about it.  Thank you!

    Hi again Rajshree,
    I'm still not able to purchase Photography CC on Adobe.com.  I tried logging out and purchasing as a new user, but it asked me to set up a user name and password, and I would like to use my existing one. The minute I log in, it defaults again to the message " You're already subscribed to the Creative Cloud membership (one-year), A$49.99/month plus applicable tax. See your plan details. Want to take advantage of our promo for this product? Please contact Customer Support to see if you qualify".
    Can I give you permission to override this and make the purchase of Photography CC on my behalf, and cancel my CC membership? If not, please advise how I can change my subscription, as I can't find a way to get around my existing subscription. If I cancelled it, I'd get charged 50% of the remainder of my yearly subscription, and you've already said there won't be any penalty.  Thanks!

  • How do I downgrade to ios4 from ios5

    How can I downgrade to ios4 from ios5? I have a new ipone 4 and allowed itunes to upgrade my to ios5, but it is not yet supported by my email server at work. So i must revert back to ios4. Can someone step me through it?
    I dont care if I loose data, there isnt much on the phone, I just want to restore it to when it came from the store!

    so this is really a bummer. The camera is horrible on the ios5 and on ios4 the camera was perfect. I sure wish there was a way and WHY doesnt APPLE notice when things arent good and give us a upgrade fixing it ? They upgraded for the people having trouble with battery life which didnt bother me as much as the horrible indoor photos. Anyway, thanks for letting us know that IT DOES NOT work to restore your phone, because i was on the verge of doing it and getting the phone back with apps and emails and all that would be horrible to find out afterwards that i did it for nothing
