HT201210 Downgrade from ios6 to ios 5

I need to Downgrade my organizations iPod Touch 4th Gen back to iOS 5 for testing purposes.  I have downloaded the .isw but keep getting an error that I am not authorized to perform the action.  Please help?

All we can say in this Apple froum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

    Hank did Google maps give you turn by turn functions NO
    Are the new maps complete far from it but they are based on crowd technology -IF you have information for your locality share it and it will be added to the servers.
    Yes its 1.0 software but it WILL get better as the data base builds.
    Further Apple were paying license fees to competing Google that they don't now.
    The GPS, and raw data from TomTom that powers the new Maps are actually quite accurate.
    If you want to see street view you still can by adding a link/home icon after visiting
    http://www.viewstreetnoflash.com in safari on your iOS device.
    Turn by turn is NEW and free to use functionality within Maps and that was NOT in Google Maps.
    Prior to you had to spend £50+ on a decent (Still do really) TBT app from Garmin or Tom Tom.
    In the apps store there are 100s of Mapping apps covering a multitude of countries and regional transportation systems around the world.
    GPS and walking maps are also available.
    You have lost nothing really other than Street View natively.
    However imo I do think flyover, and similar technologies seen competing Bing and even Google Maps looks good but is actually functionally useless.

  • 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 do I downgrade from IOS6.0.0

    How do I downgrade from IOS6.0.1?

    I'm also reading comments that after IO6 is installed, the battery life *****, apps don't work, and other such reports. 
    Search the forums, the same general comments appear after EVERY iOS update.
    They are not unique to iOS 6 and are not an indication of an issue with iOS.
    The vast majority of users never have any problems.
    I personally have never experienced an issue upgrading any of my iPhones starting with the 3GS from iOS 3 up to my current device.

    Maybe you should.. then you can complain elsewhere.

  • How do I downgrade from ios6

    I don't like apple maps. How do I downgrade from ios6 so I can get google maps and streetview again?

    It's a pity one cannot downgrade, google maps streetview was really good.
    My local underground station has a sign explaining "iphone ios6 users can get a paper map from the information stand". I believe someone wrote it on there. Did make me laugh. I hope Apple get to grips with their maps version, perhaps they could have waited until it was somewhat better. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

    You couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
    You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone?

  • 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?

  • Downgrade from iOS6 to iOS5.1 on an iPad 2

    Hi everybody, yesterday I upgraded my iPad 2 (wi-fi + 3G, 16 Gb) to iOS6, then I found out that Siri is not working on it (I should have know, but I trusted a friend who told me it was), more the YouTube app was delivered only for iPhone.
    So I decided do downgrade back to iOS 5.1.
    First I tried with the "restore from backup" function in iTunes, but it only works for apps and data.
    Then I searched some hinst on the Internet, and found some instructions about restoring the iPad by pressing home and power buttons at once for 10 seconds (til I get a black screen), then restore using a certain ipsw file through iTunes.
    I tried with several ipsw files, but I always get the same error message "The device isn't eligible for the requested build".
    Any hints? Or am I supposed to keep the iOS6 on the device?
    Thank you in advance for any reply.
    Giovanni

    Downgrading iOS is not supported. For YouTube you coul try one of the YouTube apps from the store (and other people have said that google are working on an iPad version of their iPhone-optimised app and there is Jasmine), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

  • Need to downgrade from ios6!

    I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios6 and can't believe how slow everything is. Why is everything freezing? When I open up safari it takes forever to load a webpage. Is there any way to down grade to the previous software? I am extremely unhappy with this. Even when typing it is much slower. I also did not realize I can't get Siri on the iphone 4. Very upset!

    Be warned that if you attempt to downgrade iOS, you stand a good chance of bricking your iPhone.

  • Does the downgrade from ios8 to iOS 7.1.1 work with no issues

    wwill i be able to switch my I pad operating system back to ios 7.1.1 with no issues

    You should be fine then. Do it before they stop signing. Lots of people have posted on here that their downgrade to 7.1.2 has been successful and their iPads are working like they should.
