How do I revert back to Ios 6. My Iphone 4 cannot support IOS 7. I wish somebody had mentioned this before I upgraded.

Caught up in the frenzy, I updated my Iphone 4 to IOS 7. Didn't realize (nor did I hear from Apple) that my phone is too slow to support features on IOS7. It is now super sluggish and has some annoying features. I am so unhappy. Tried to revert back to IOS6 but it seems the "window" to do that has closed. Is there anything else I can do? I really don't want to buy a new phone - this has been more than adequate for my needs. I feel like Apply is forcing people to upgrade their devices by doing this. Any suggestions?

There is no suported way to do this. Apple never has, and never will, support going back to a previous release of iOS 7.
I can only suggest you go through the supported channels.
First, leave feedback at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Second, call Apple support and file a problem.
Third, visit a local Apple store and see if they can help you at the Genius bar.
Forth, lesson learned. Never do an upgrade before visiting these discussion forums and getting a sense for how well the new release is being accepted. Keeping in mind of course that there are hundreds of millions of iPhone and IPads out there. I read just earlier that over 200 million iPads and iPhone were sold just last year. So of course we all need to factor in that posts to these forums represent a very small fraction of the total number of iPhone and iPad users.

How do I revert back to IOS 10.8 on my 27" iMac? Since I upgraded to 10.9 on Monday I am unable to use my buttons in the App Store window, notes or ibook window.

How do I revert back to IOS 10.8 on my 27" iMac intel version? Since I upgraded to 10.9 on Monday I am unable to use my mouse buttons in the App Store window, notes or ibook windows. It works everywhere elese but not in any Apple application system windows.

I'll try it. I don't have much confidence in it actually working since I'm having the same issue with all mouses (Bluetooth and wired) and my Bamboo Create.
Can you also tell me how to revert back to IOS 10.8 in case resetting mouse preferences do not work? I have already gone back and restored my system to before the up grade but it didn't restore the IOS system.

How do I revert back to iOS 8.2? It's not my job to troubleshoot all the issues. I'm tired of finding problems.

I have the same problem trying to restore a backup from a previous IOS. Is there anyway of doing this and then upgrading to IOS 8.3 once you have done the restore?
You do not have the same problem. It is always possible to restore a backup made with a previous OS to the most recent OS. If you are having a problem restoring a backup from an older version the problem is not related to the fact that you have 8.3 on your device.

HT201263 how do i revert back cos my ipad is responding

Unable to update or restore after downloading/updating ios 6.0.1 and i connect to itunes but its giving me errors. how do i revert back to my previous ios cos my ipad is responding

You can't go back to a previous version.
If you want to try recovery mode which is what Apple recommends if you are unable to update or restore your iPad, go here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
If you want to manually download the update go here.

You might want to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software as well when you try to restore.

How do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.
I want to get rid of itunes 11, anyhelp out there

How do I revert back to the old operating system? The new upgrade that came out totally disabled my WiFi and the default backgrounds changed to white instead of bla k.

An upgrade was sent to my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone on 3/27/15 and it ruined my phone. I no longer have the ability to Wi-Fi. When I swipe the phone on there is a clicking sound and the scree goes directly to my keypad. I want the phone to go to my home screen like it did before. My apps that had a black background now have a white background which is impossible to see outdoors. I want the black background back for settings, clock, and calculator. Samsung tech support says this stuff is default with the new upgrade. How do I revert back to the version I had before without having to put the phone back to factory settings and lose all my pictures, memos and other files I have accumulated over the last year that I have had the phone. I am desparate. Please help me. Send an e-mail to (removed)

You cannot revert back without voiding warranty and we cannot discuss the methods to do so.

I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking. How do I revert back to an older version?

I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking. Another reason I loved using this computer was autofill, now that does not work the same either, I have to respond twice to get my info to fill in. I fill out many forms in a day and this change has been so bad that I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to use instead. I hope apple fixes these issues but until then how do I revert back to an older version of Safari?

Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure all three boxes are selected.
Now navigate to a site, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
Try logging into a site again.

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

Numbers 3.2 has changed too much, it doesn't work with my project anymore. 1) The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming), 2) I used to be able to duplicate a folder within my sheet panel window by simply clicking on a folder and hitting Command D, but that doesn't work now so it looks like I'll have to spend even more time to recreate the same tables that used to be easily duplicated, and 3) I can't choose fill colors that matched my project anymore because there are only limited choices available now. And these are only the changes that I'm aware of. I am very disappointed and frustrated. Whatever the motivation was to limit Numbers 3.2, I want the previous version back. How do I revert back to the previous version I was using?

The sheet panels used to be on the left hand side and easily reviewable and searchable, but now they are on the top and it's harder to find a specific folder without scrolling (too time consuming),
You can scroll more quickly between sheets if you don't use the left-right triangles, but instead move the cursor up into the bands with the "tabs" and drag right or left.
Also, if you have a lot if sheets for which you want a quick vertical list, then you can try the following have something like this pop up (showing your sheet names automatically) whenever you hit a keyboard shortcut (in my case shift-command-j):
This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download). To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
This will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu. Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
This particular service jumps to the first cell of the first table of the sheet you choose from an automatically generated list of all sheets in the current document.

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.

I've upgraded to the most recent version of FF. Streaming/page loading is worse than ever. I have done all that's recommended to fix it. When will FF come up with a fix? And how do I revert back to a version that actually works? Please help. Thanks

Hi,
your aspx menus are probably using document cookies to store static information. (f12>Console tab, document.cookie )
ensure that client machines are accepting your company's default GPO settings.
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab,
click "Reset all zones to default"
Content tab, click the "Default" button.
Open a change request with your site developers to feature test for noscript and cookie support in their client side code.
File>Properties to determine which IE Security zone a site is opening in.
Regards.
