How to downgrade my ipad2 from ios6 to ios5?

My brother upgrade my ipad2 from 5 to 6 and YouTube is now an app.  I hate it.  Is it possible to downgrade the iOS?

Apple won't allow us to talk about downgraded Ipad software version, but the Apple TV had an issue where they allowed us to downgrade the software, which is the same process for the Ipad, except the Ipad needs to be started in Recovery Mode first (Google that) and you need to download the previous Ios software for your model Ipad (Google that too, pretty easy to find). But, to downgrade your Apple TV software, do this:
1) plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
2) hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
3) It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.

  • Does downgrading my iPhone from iOS6 to iOS5 break Apple's terms and conditions?

    Hi everyone!
    I've installed the iOS6 on my iPhone 4s yesterday and was really disappointed by the fact that it drains the battery much faster then iOS5.
    I found some instructions on the internet on downgrading the operating system on the iDevices.
    So I downloaded the 5.1.1 and am about to downgrade it.
    But before I do it, I would like to know if it breaks any of Apple's terms&conditions.
    And will I loose anything (except for iOS6) after performing the downgrade.
    Thanks in advance!

    Don't do it. Attempting to downgrade is very likely to permanently and irreversibly break your iPhone, if not right away, perhaps when you try to upgrade its OS in the future.
    Your warranty will also be void:
    Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks the iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of the iOS is a violation of the iPhone end-user license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

    Yes, and you will also find dozens of pleas for help on this forum every day, asking what to do when downgrading bricks their phone. The only guaranteed solution is to buy a new one.

    You cannot. Downgrading is not supported by Apple.

  • HT4623 How to downgrade iPhone from ios6 to ios5 without jailbreaking?

    How to downgrade iPhone from ios6 to ios5 without jailbreaking?
    It is uncomfortable to use Appstore and uninformative Apple maps.
    I regret, that I updated my iOS5, can I get it back?

    Sadly, Apple is amazingly good at keeping users from downgrading an iPhone. For some reason, a prior update (5.1.1) bricked my 3GS, and that's how I learned the hard way how firmly Apple had control of the upgrade/downgrad process. I find that annoying, as well as the fact that Apple "pushes" (figureatively and literally) updates on users, many of whom simply update immediately, without realizing there could be a downside. I've been amazed at how many non-techy iPhone using friends have complained to me about maps, and they wish they had never updated to iOS 6.
    Anyway, I'm still using iOS 5 on my iPhone 4S, as I just feel too attached to my good old Google-based Map app (and the web version of Google Maps is really very different than the App version -- I tried it, thinking I would finally update my iPhone, but was really dissatisfied with the web version). I do know iOS 6 is superior in many ways, but for now, I am just that attached to my good old Map app.

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

    how to downgrade the iphone from io7

    Cannot be done. Downgrading is not an option.
    What is the issue you think downgrading would address? Perhaps there are other approaches.

  • Issue with Emoji icons when sent from iOS6 to iOS5

    Issue with Emoji icons when sent from iOS6 to iOS5, all icons appear as a square on the iOS5 message screen.
    Both iOS are the current version and the phones are 4S 64GB
    Anybody got this problem

    Hi!
    What kind of RFC do you use? If you use synchronous RFC the caller waits for the answer/result of the called function. In normal cases this should solve your issue.

  • HT5429 Does Apple provide steps to Rollback from iOS6 to iOS5.1.1?

    The new Maps app is an absolute fail.
    By upgrading to the new OS, I've lost all the location, interest point, and transit data that was provided by Google.
    I bought one of these "Routing Apps" in order to add transit routing to the Apple maps app, and Apple Maps does not even recognize it.
    Why would they step back in time like this?
    I need help rolling back from iOS6 to iOS5.1.1, FAST.  Otherwise I'm buying an Android phone.

    I'm in a similar position. I updated last night and suddenly everything is running slowly, the App Store and iTunes is virtually unusable, but most apps too. I had no network problems though like some people.
    I desperate to roll back to 5.1.1 but can't find it any where. I'm so angry, everything was fine two days ago before this update. And don't get me started on the new maps app. Incredibly slow at rendering even with my super fast broadband, and the res is very low too when you zoom in.
    Can anyone help?

  • Downgrade from ios6 to ios5.1.1

    just wondering if i can downgrade from ios6 to ios 5.1.1

    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, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • How long should the upgrade from iOS6 to iOS 8 take on an iPhone 5

    Finally decided to upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios6??? to iOS 8 (which ever version is available today).
    Backed up on iTunes first.
    Launched upgrade from iTunes.
    All seem fine until got a message that could not access phone because it was locked and should enter passcode to gain access.
    Entered passcode and now on phone have progress bar which has not budged for about 3 hours.  No longer see phone as device in iTunes.
    Should I continue to be patient?

    Unless you have a very slow Internet connection it should not take 3 hours. On my 50 Mbps connecting it takes 15 minutes. While the phone is updating it may disappear from iTunes; that part is normal. But not for 3 hours. Was the phone ever jailbroken?

  • How to update my ipad2 to ios6?

    How to update my ipad2 to ios 6

    If you are on iOS 5+ as your tagline suggests then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update on the iPad for direct update. If you are on iOS 4 (or you can do it this way if you are already on iOS 5) then you can only update by connecting to your computer's iTunes and, if not prompted, click the Check For Updates button the device's Summary tab.
    Before you update you should copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and force a backup.
    Also be aware that updating to iOS 6 will remove the built-in YouTube app and that the Maps app will change
