How to uninstall iOS 6

How to uninstall ios6 and go back to 5 or 4 ?

You don't. Downgrading is not supported and is considered an unauthorized modification to the phone. You will void any warranty, forfeit your right to support, and may end up bricking your phone in the process.

How to uninstall iOS 8.0.2?

I installed iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad 2. Horrible. I tried to restore from an old backup but it left 8.0.2 in place.
Any other ideas?

You don't go backwards in updates. It's always forward ... or ... simply not updating, which is a choice you can make. BUT ... the good news is that the vast and overwhelming number of iPad 2 users are doing fine with iOS 8.0.2. In addition to that, some users who had initial problems were able to solve them through various solutions ... one of which is presented below ...
If you would like to get your iPad back to normal and working fine under iOS 8.0.2 ... the following is something that has helpe quite a few here on these forums.
There are many users here on this forum who have had some initial problems, and have been able to get their iPads working normally again. I can give you one such solution that seems to work in many cases. With the large majority of users, on the other hand, they have never had any major problems with iOS 8.0.2 (as is the case with me). And in saying that, I'm not talking about some minor glitches, which are small bugs that Apple will fix, but I'm talking about the entire iPad being unusable, as some have reported. There's no way your iPad should be unusable and it doesn't have to be, with the success other people are having.
As I said, there have been many users that have gotten their iPads back to normal from resetting it back to factory default condition. That's what I've been posting in order to help a lot of people here. For anyone else reading this, here are the Apple Support Links for backup and then ... for setting it back to factory default, below.
ALSO ... do know that some people have restored their backups and found out that things slowed down again, which means there is something in the backup that is causing trouble. And many times that could be an app or two that is troublesome. I read the other day that another user had Apple run their special diagnostic software on his iPad and Apple found one particular app that was very bad (causing slowdowns and interaction problems). So, they told him to get rid of the app. When he did, everything returned to normal. So, do realize that even though resetting to factory default helps many people (and it should be done every year anyway, I say ...) that there could be other apps which could cause the trouble, too. And then, as many have reported here, clearing the setting helps at times, too. I've had to clear my network settings a few times, when Safari seemed to be "hanging". And when that happens, it solves that problem. Anyway, there is not just one particular solution that helps for all, but the resetting back to factory default is something everyone should do anyway ... and ... be sure to do your backups, too.

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS | This helped me
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

How to uninstall iOS 5 from MacBook Pro

I made a big mistake last night by downloading iOS 5 to iTunes on my wife's MacBook Pro. After reading the new
iTunes Terms and Condition and checking over the features we do not have any need for the iOS 5 on her iPad2. I
did not have the iPad2 attached to the MacBook Pro so the iOS 5 has not been installed; however, it will be installed
the next time I attached the sync cord.
How can I remove the iOS 5 download from the MacBook Pro?
We do not want ot use the Cloud for anything. She likes having her iBooks stored on the MBP and have no interest
in having the address book or picture in a Cloud.

I bit the bullet and installed iOS 5 on my wife's iPad2 then proceeded to turn OFF all Cloud related options and everything is working great. It is there for those that want it and can be turned OFF for the rest of us.

Anyone knows how to uninstall iOS 6.0?

iOS 6.0 makes installation of apps impossible. Can I uninstall it? Thanks!

Thanks a lot!
After I installed iOS 6.0, first thing I noticed was that YouTube was gone. Since I couldn't find the same youtube at apps store, I decided to install something similar. But it has been showing " installing", and "waiting " for almost a week. And I can't cancel it, either. Up to now, I still have YouTube, Line, Ted, etc. in the process of installing. I don't know what to do?
Thank you so much for your help!

How to uninstall iOS 7.0.2

I am having problems downloading apps, they
appear to have downloaded but once installed they will not open. The only thing that changed recently was my downloading and installing IOS 7.0.2 so I was to uninstall to see if it will fix my issue.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

How to uninstall ios 5 on ipad 2 have apps not supported yet

Need to downgrade IPAD2 IOS5 to like 4.3 until we have time to get support for all applications.
Looking for proper way to back off IOS5

This is a user to user help forum only. Apple does not provide any direct support or answer any questions here.
Copied from this link at the bottom of the page.
iOS 5 is compatible with the 3rd and 4th generation iPod Touch, not the 2nd generation.

Catastrophic upgrade to iphone - How to uninstall iOS 7.1

Hiya I'm new to this forum so my apologies if this is in the wrong place for posting this.
Since loading up 7.1 my phone is virtualy unusable. I will be ringing Apple in the morning but I'm not hopeful they will be able to help me as I own my phone outright and its (almost) a year old so no warrenty or such like.
I've reset my phone umpteen times and rebooted it about 4 times. It has not solved the catastophy that has befeld my phone
I don't even know where to start;
- touch screen sensitivity almost gone, cant tap on an icon or need to tap it like 20 times before it opens.
- feint vertical line running through the screen which when I'm texting means I can't use the keys it runs through. This applies to any apps it touches.
- scrolling, vertually impossible, somestimes it does work but mostly it does not.
- apps opening when my finger 'hovers' over icon.
- random letters appearing in my text messages.
If I'm lucky, after reboot its ok for an hour or so (not really counted tbh). If I switch it off I maybe get about 10 mins before it starts again.
My phone is virtually unusable and I'm worried that Apple can do nothing about it as I've tried everything they're gonna tell me.
Or am I wrong? Is there a solution? I've had no previous issues with my phone before. We have ipads and another iphone and I have not updated those until I get a handle on whats happened to my phone.
Please, I beg you, is there anyone out there who can help me and my phone?
Yours,
desperately unhappy iPhone customer

Hiya Allan, yes I've restored phone via iTunes. However, I've always ticked the "restore' from back up.
Shall I restore as a new phone then? This means I will have to load all my apps etc., contacts again but these are all saved to my computer so should be ok?
Thanks for your response Allan.
ps. If its a hardware issue, I'm f**ked right?
Yes, restore as new, but do not relaod any user data. Set it up like it's a phone you're going to give away to someone; none of your apps or personal data on the device. Then, test the issues.
And if it is a hardware issue, you still have options. Apple offers support for out-of-warranty devices for between $149 to $269 USD, depending on the model.
Also, if you call Apple Support and they request you pay a $19 fee for assistance, ask for a one-time exception, or request a Senior Advisor.

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 can i delete uninstalled iOS apps?

How can i delete uninstalled iOS apps in iTunes11 & iphone? Its taking up my iPhone's space as i kept trying on new apps but uninstalled them after trying. The uninstalled apps still appear in my iTunes "Apps" though. I deleted all the apps in Mobile Application folder in Mac because i couldnt delete any in iTunes & iPhone but its not working(still in my iTunes "Apps"). I wanna get rid of them from my iTunes & iPhone.... so that i can save space... HOW?

Mark the names that you see in the apps man.. They should be like a000c1b.sis etc.
Connect the phone to your PC as USB mass storage device.
Open the drive in your PC.
In search option, write down the name, the files will appear, delete em.
Or, you can use 3rd party File explorer like explore to delete em.
