How to get ios 5

Hello. I updated to ios 6.1.2 on my iphone 4 and im have some issues with it (shutting down, batttery life, apps crashing, etc). My backup looks like it is corrupted. Is there any way i can revert back to ios 5? Thanks

There is no 'Supported' way to downgrade iOS.  A search of google might provide you with alternatives that could assist in reverting to an older OS.
That being said, I am running 6.1.2 on my device with no issues whatsoever.  You may want to try backing up your data in iTunes, and try restoring the device to factory settings.  You may have encountered a software installation error.

  • How to get iOS 5 beta without developer account

    Can someone please tell me how to get iOS 5 beta? If so please leave a link to where you it

    Apple has reasons why they only let developers have access to beta versions. Beta versions are very buggy, and are not very good with everyday use on primary devices. Developers are only allowed to have access to betas because it lets them make their apps ready to be used and compatible with iOS 5 by the time the final release comes out.

    The option to update wirelessly without any computer have been introduce with iOS5.  Therefore, you can't update yours without a computer since you are still in iOS5.
    First update using a computer and then, you will have to option to do it without your computer for upcoming iOS updates.

    how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

    Very likely since yu really have a 2G iPod. Those only go to 4.2.1. If your is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G since Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
    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.

  • How to get ios 5 on an ibook g4 os x 10.7.4 using simple instructions ? not computer savvy?

    how do i get ios 5 on my ibook g4 os x 10.7.4?  Please use simple instructions i am not computer savvy

    Hello,
    You need to obtain a black disk with Mac OS X 10.5 Leapard written on it.
    It should have a big X on the disk.
    They can be obtained from eBay or Amazon. You may find some online stores selling it. It's not going to be cheap.
    If you already have a copy, then great.
    Here is some simple instructions to help you install it on your iBook
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1544
    I would recommend installing more memory to your iBook at least to bring it to 1.5GB
    That's an extra 1GB, even though the minimum requirment is 512MB, its going to be a liittle sluggish with just that memory.
    Hope this helps

  • Hello I am wondering how to get iOS 8 on my iPod 5th gen i am a developer

    Hello my problem is i am young i am 13 i know how to code but my problem is i also have other friends in my position. I need to know how to do this so I can get it and they can too! Thanks in your advance!

    And if you are a member of the iOS Developer Program, you should know that you can't just give beta software to your friends. You would also know that the iOS 8 developer seed is absolutely not ready for general use. It's given to developers so that they can begin to program for the new features and that they're strongly cautioned not to install it on any device they want to actually use.
    The bottom line is that if you are eligible for this seed, you have access to all the information you need on how to get the seed and use it. If you don't have access to this information, then you're not eligible to legally obtain the seed, and probably really shouldn't be messing with it.
    Regards.

  • HT4623 My iPod doesn't have, software update in the general settings and I don't know how to get iOS 5. I'm so confused! How do I do it then?!?!

    My iPod will not update! In the settings it doesn't have software update and I don't know last time it was updated! I need help because I want this to be updated! Somebody please help!

    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • HT4623 how to get ios 7 update for my ipod touch

    I have an Ipod touch. My device has not updated to IOS 7. I have WIFI. How can I download it to my Ipod touch, If it has not shown up on the device? There is nothing showing on General settings. How can i get the update if it is not showing on my device?    My Ipod touch is iOS 6.1.5 now. That was the only update I got on my Ipod Touch.
    Thank you,
    mida614

    Only if you have an iPod 5. iOS 7 requires 512MB of RAM, and sadly only the iPod 5 has 512MB of RAM. If you have a iPod 4 or earlier iOS 7 is not an option. If you check your iPod and it states your iPod iOS is current then you are at your max. Hope this helps, Good luck.

  • How to get IOS 5 on ipod touch 2g

    I have an ipod touch 2g and want ios 5 on. I know it is not compatiable for ios 6 but i'd like ios 5 as i can not get facebook apps because i only have ios 4. How do i download it on my ipod?

    Your current iOS version is shown in Settings > General > About > Version. You can check if there is an update available for it by connecting it to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then on the right-hand side on the Summary tab clicking the Check For Updates button.
    If there is an update, then before your start the update process first copy any purchases off the iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPod as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.

  • How to get iOS 7 on my iPod 5th Gen? It won't show up in my settings???

    Apple's servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
    Be patient and try again later.

  • How to get iOS 5.0 loaded on Mac iTunes?

    I am unable to get 5.0, iTunes,  says it is up to date with 4.2.1. My iPad updated to 5.0, but can't get 3G iPhone updated!  I don't know why laptop doesn't automatically update itself to 5.0. I tried 'check for available downloads'. Not computer savvy!

    iTunes is not a misnomer at all, really. iTunes is an application that runs on a computer and is used, when spoken of in relation to an iPhone, to update and sync content to that device. The operating system for the iPhone is iOS, not iTunes. There is an "iTunes" app on the iPhone, which is for purchasing from the iTunes Store.
    So there is no 'iTunes-iPad", "iTunes-iPhone", etc. as such (not in any meaningful way, in any case). The only differences are the computer operating system on which iTunes is intended to run,  Mac or Windows, and the version number of the iTunes application, the current being iTunes 10.6.3.  The OP is referring to the version of iOS, not of iTunes.
    Regards.

  • How to get IOS 5 iphoto images to photostream?

    i am using an IPAD2 and am having trouble getting my edited IOS 5 iphoto images to upload to the photo stream.
    To be more specific, here is what I am looking to do:
    I am looking to upload my camera photos directly to my Ipad and then editing them with iphoto, and then having them backup to my photo stream. however, i cannot seem to get my edited photos to appear in photo stream.
    This has prompted another question of mine: is icloud and photostream the same thing? or is photo stream separate of icloud? My Ipad backs up to iCloud every night and i'm not sure what is backing up, and then i also use PhotoStream (or trying to). Which is the true way to backup photos?
    Thank you!

    Greetings,
    To make an edited image go to Photo Stream you need to share that image to the camera roll as detailed here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.0/#blnkee26bc1f.  This can only be done 1 image at a time.  If you would like to see the ability to send multiple images to the camera roll at the same time, let Apple know: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html
    Photo Stream is part of iCloud.  Learn more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Learn about your iCloud backup and what it contains here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
    Note: Photo Stream is not a backup.  It is a way to make the last 1000 images consistent across multiple devices (as detailed in article HT4486 above). Make sure you have Photo Stream setup on a computer so that your images and imported to that computer or import your images directly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Hope that information is helpful.
