HT201210 DOWNGRADE TO 6.0 POSSIBLE?

i have an ipad 2.1 wi fi MC770C ios 6.0.1 10A523 32go, is it possible to go back to 6.0

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.

  • When is iOS 6 downgrade going to be possible?

    So is Apple inc. not convinced yet that they have to let people downgrade their devices?
    When is it going to be possible?

    The OS seems not to be fully backwards compatible. Many apps that used to work on iOS 5 don't work any more.
    Let's not discuss the map problems because it's useless, and go to google maps through safari is not a solution.
    Other problems are more aesthetic. Apps made for a bigger screen just don't look good on the smaller iphone 4S screen.
    Battery drains faster. I used to get almost 2 days of battery life with iOS 5, now it hardly reaches a Day.

  • HT201210 Downgrade to iOS5 from iOS 6.0 with iPhone 3GS

    After upgrading to iOS 6.0 5 days ago, I've discovered that lots of files have been missing (photos, contacts, apps...).
    And trying to restore to previous version iOS 5.1.1 IPSW is not validated by iTunes.
    I could use my backup on Time Machine, but last update having been made 2 weeks ago,
    I don't really want to do it and lose one week between backups.
    Any ideas?

    There is no legit way at all to go back.

  • Internet works, but is over 10 times slower... Is it possible to downgrade?

    As soon as I switched to Leopard, my internet connection became unbelievably slow (taking over 2 minutes to load every page). There were no other changes at that time that could have caused that, so I think it's a safe assumption that Leopard is somehow screwing over my internet connection. Has anyone else had a similar problem (I know there are other internet topics, but none seemed relevant), and would downgrading back to Tiger possibly solve it/is that even possible?

    There are a few possibilities:
    1. Assuming you are using wireless, have you checked for any firmware upgrades to your router?
    2. Leopard changes the way that DNS lookups are done. This can make some DNS servers unreliable. Have you tries using OpenDNS servers?
    3. Assuming wireless again, what kind of security are you using on your router? There are some demonstrated issues with some WEP secured routers. Often this is resolved by changing to WPA2.
    Leopard is well worth the upgrade - I really notice the difference when I go back to my Tiger PowerBook. (Quicklook and Spaces are very useful!).

  • Downgrading from Snow Leopard to Leopard 10.56. Possible?

    Will it be possible to return to Leopard? I want to use 10.56. I didn't have any problems with it. Photoshop CS 1 worked fine on it. On Snow Leopard I have problems with "Move a layer" with Snow Leopard (even with Rosetta installed). Also, MS Word doesn't work that well. It takes forever to save and I can't copy and paste word files from MS Word to Pages. Other strange things. It started getting really slow to shut down and slow to boot. It's OK now but that's because of the fresh install, and I haven't updated to 10.63. I am scared to do that now. The only good thing was the extra gigabytes and Safari 4, but I don't use Safari much anyway, Opera is so fast.
    And lots of whirling balls of death before I did the clean install.
    I don't think the upgrade works very well - from Leopard to Snow Leopard, best to do a clean install.
    However, I want to go back to Leopard as I didn't have any problems with it except maybe I couldn't get the latest upgrades of certain programs and I lost about 5GBs of space on my hard drive compared to Snow Leopard.
    Also, Bootcamp doesn't work as well. I can't get the network to operate on Windows XP. On Leopard, it transferred seamlessly without having to adjust the control panel or anything. Now, my only choice is unsecured wireless network. I don't want financial data to be unsecured when doing internet banking or purchasing with a credit card.
    What is the point of Snow Leopard? Seems like Apple's aware of problems with it but no solutions are coming. Life is too short to worry about Update beta, update combo or whatever. Or whether 6.2 is btter than 6.1 etc.
    How do I go about doing the clean install?
    Will there be any problems because I will be transferring files like Safari which have a higher version than Leopard can handle? What should I do in that case? Will the lower version of applications install automatically?
    I don't know how it will work out. I've never downgraded the operating system before. It's always been up.
    Will it be OK or will I have to do a lot of fiddling around afterwards? Because I'm not good at that.
    Thanks.
    One last question: Should I do a clean install or just stick the disk in and do an install?
    Will the second one wipe the data off my machine?

    Thanks. What I meant by downgrade is: is it possible to put OS 10.56 on my computer and put all the same files on it (later)? I think the answer is yes but I have to do a clean install.
    I will have to use Migration Assistant on my MBA.

  • Satellite C850 - downgrade from Win 8 to Win 7

    Epilogue:
    Ok, so I've tried my best. I realise there are a few nice things about Win8 but like a ginger stepchild I just can't accept it as part of my life. I've had the laptop for 6 months now and regardless of changes I make I just keep on coming back to the fact I am trying to force Win 8 into the way Win 7 works which is daft when Win 7 is available. The only real reason I have held back is that Win 8 was the pre-installed OS (Toshiba should really review that decision, it's a horrible OS for anything other than casual tablet use and effectively cripples their hardware). However the time has come, I simply can't continue. Win7 must return to the throne.
    Going Forward:
    Anyway, preamble aside, I have a couple of questions regarding the "downgrade". First off I have used the Toshiba 'Recovery Media Creator' to create the backup disks (which I presume return the laptop to the "out of the box" state) and backed up any important data. I have Windows 7 on a bootable USB stick (A legal copy too - oh, how decadent!).
    I believe I need to set the _Secure Boot_ to *Disabled* and the _Boot Mode_ to *CSM Boot* in order for my bootable USB stick to be detected. I have read several pages about this and some suggest I will need some sort of SATA drivers on the stick too. Can someone confirm is this is true or not? If it is true, where do I get them from (URL if poss?) and where do I put them on the stick (root? Will it ask for a location?).
    In terms of installation, it's just the standard Win 7 install, albeit you need to delete all the partitions on the HDD to remove the GPT legacy stuff, right? Once the Secure Boot/UEFI malarkey is gone it's just a standard laptop - or am I fooling myself?
    What next:
    YOU! I NEED YOU! In a Kitchener fashion (if you don't know what I mean, google Kitchener), I need you to tell me if I am being an idiot. Not about the "downgrade" as that is possibly the most intelligent thing I will do with this laptop - Win 8 is so frustratingly awkward that I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't the first Operating System diagnosed with a personality disorder - the thing I need people to tell me is whether I have missed anything out on my "return of zen" checklist. Is it really just BIOS, USB boot (with SATA drivers?), delete partition(s), create new unified partition then finally install the new OS? Does that all sound about right or am I going to be stuck half way through only to find I've forgotten to change someting leaving my laptop fubar'ed?
    TL;DR?
    Win 7 over Win 8, need assistance.
    Summary:
    Thanks for anyone replying. Power to your, em... well whatever you want power to (except there you dirty bunny!).

    I've given Win8 all the chances in the world, but as MS seem determined to annoy developers by hiding the simplest of stuff behind 3 layers of s**t while at the same time lifting their skirt to tablets and mobile devices then I honestly don't see the point in continuing to fight what is a badly misjudged and poorly implemented mish mash of 7 and 8 when 7 is considerably better for developers.
    People might like 8, I'm not knocking them, but I've been using operating systems since the early 80's (yes, sadly, I am that old) and very few have been as frustrating as 8 - it's not that it can't do the stuff I want, it's that it's hidden away making the whole experience disappointing and time consuming.
    So, that aside, I can confirm that I am now on Win 7, although it was not without it's temporary problems. Let me explain...
    I made a backup, switched UEFI off and put a USB key containing windows install into the machine. All is as normal, booting up hitting the setup, selecting the install location until I am greeted with a drive that has maybe 4 partitions on it, one of them being the Toshiba backup the rest being Win 8 and the UEFI/secure boot malarkey.
    I deleted all the partitions except the backup one with the assumption I could then create a new partition and format it. Windows install was happy about removing partitions but it really didn't like creating new ones and formatting them. This left me in a state where I could boot from USB but I had no partitions on the machine (except the non-bootable backup).
    So next step was to try and figure out what was going on. Sadly it's a 2 1/2" HD in the laptop so I couldn't just take it out and piggy back onto my desktop PC (3 1/2") instead I downloaded a copy of ubuntu, stuck it onto my stick, booted up from the USB and used gpart to view the partitions and to format them.
    Bit annoying having to download a full OS just to get a HD partition tool and I am sure more Linux savvy people could knock up a bootable stick with just gpart on it, but still my sledgehammer/nut solution was exactly that, a solution.
    So, Win 7 installer onto the stick again and away we go.. Now I can't remember if I formatted the drive as NTFS or FAT32 from ubuntu however now that the drive was partitioned and active then the Windows installer had no problems about reformatting (an empty) partition to match the format it needs. From there it was just a standard Win install.
    Finally I downloaded the relevant drivers from this site and applied them. No SATA drivers were needed while installing Win7 but perhaps if they were present I wouldn't have needed to do the round about step of using Ubuntu to format/partition the drive. Either way, it's working now.
    As for Win 8? A failed experiment in the same way Vista was and, like Vista to Win 7, I expect Win 9 to be to an improved Win 8.
    Generally MS creates good OS's every second iteration. Win ME (bad), Win XP (good), Vista (bad), 7 (good), 8 (bad), 9 (? - we will see).

  • What happens if I downgrade to Snow Leopard?

    Hello,
    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro that originally came with Snow Leopard. At some point, I upgraded to Lion, so that I now have 10.7.5. I would like to be able to downgrade to Snow Leopard using the discs that came with my computer. This is mainly so that I can use the Bootcamp version which supports Windows XP. I was wondering if I can downgrade without losing any of my data, and if I will lose certain apps, settings, etc. currently on my Mac. I DO NOT own an external hard drive or any backups(I know I should, but I never got around to it). So what will happen if I try to downgrade, and is it possible?
    Thanks for any help.
    EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw another thread exactly like this, and realized that in order to get all my files, I need an external hardrive with a backup of my files.

    No, it is not possible. Here's what you must do:
    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

  • How to downgrade from osx 10.10.3 to 10.10

    I recently updated osx as part of the Yosemite beta program and it stopped my computer from being able to start up, having completed a temporary fix and removing myself from the beta program i want to downgrade as quickly as possible. Is there any way to do this?

    Just stop using the startup drive you configured for the beta and use your drive which still has 10.10 on it. You did set up the beta on a new drive or partition as advised by Apple, didn't you?
    If not, restore from the backup you made prior to starting the Beta program.
    If you did neither, there is no way to return your system to 10.10.0

  • IPhone 4 iOS 6.0.1 upgrade issues; back-up won't load and unable to sync with iTunes

    I've just updated my iPhone4 to iOS 6.0.1 and went through the back-up routine.  The back-up routine appeared to partially update, displaying an error, however has brought through my contacts, previous messages and has even maintained my bluetooth connection with the car. The phone appears to function ok although it will now not sync with my iTunes and so will not download music and Apps to the phone.  I've tried to re-run the back-up however it just hangs with a message box advising that it is 'Estimating time remaining', a message that just hangs there for ages with no apparent actions (by ages I mean 15 minutes +).
    Any advice would be much appreciated; to say this is extremely frustrating is an understatement.
    Many thanks.

    Hello, having the same problem, but the answer by KiltedTim is too simplistic. Butcher60, any news? I have tried removing everything, still the same. It is true that Vista fails loading the driver, but, in my case, I noticed that:
    - if you reboot the sistem, the first time you connect any ios device, it is detected either by vista and by itunes. BUT if you disconnect it and connect it again, or connect another ios device, it is not detected enymore, neither by vista nor by i tunes, and you get the message, in managing resources, that the drivers of Apple mobile devices cannot be initialized (code 37)!!! This is so bad when you are doing an update (it is what happened to me), because, if you connect the device the first time, and then start the update, when reaching the point in which the device reboots, it is like connecting it for the second time, itunes does not detect it, and the device goes in recovery mode, so you must use another computer (with XP no such a problem, it seams) to complete it.
    - BUT the problem is not only by vista, something happend with itunes 10.7, because I went back to a recovery point before itunes last version, and the driver are loaded by vista every time, only when using itunes 10.7 the same error occurs, and I did not find any solution (because downgrading itunes is not possible)
    So, vista worked detecting ios devices before ios6 and itunes 10.7, it works without itunes 10.7 detecting every device, but it does not work with last i tunes. Can someone do something???

  • Is it too late to go back to IOS 7?

    I Made the mistake of upgrading my iPad to IOS 8 and now one of my GIS mapping apps I use for business will not run. I spoke with the developer and they said it would take some time to get this worked out. Is there any way at this point to revert back to IOS 7.1.2?

    I read on another post that Apple has already closed the window to downgrade, and the only possible way would be to jailbreak the device. I wouldn't do that though.

  • Toshiba 32TL838: video flickering after fw upgrade in menus, using HDMI input

    Hi,
    yesterday I upgraded my 32TL838's firmware to version 6.4.0Y.1 / 94.6.27.8 using the network upgrade feature.
    After the upgrade I reset the TV to start over with factory settings.
    During the quick setup after the reset I noticed a very poor video quality. The whole image flickered, had a ghost effect and looked interlaced. The menus were almost unreadable.
    After completing the setup the TV switched to normal TV mode (DTV cable) and at least the tv picture looked quite normal. While cable TV input is selected, I can also open menus like before, they're displayed correctly.
    But as soon as I switch to HDMI input, the picture is getting nuts again, just as during the initial setup, including the TV's menu overlays. Sometimes it's getting stable for maybe 30 seconds but then it's crippled again.
    Some words about my setup: the TV uses only HDMI input 1 and the cable input, nothing else is connected.
    The HDMI input links to an Onkyo TX-SR508 AV receiver that is being fed by a Fantec 3DS4600 media player and BDP-S373 BluRay player.
    Because I expect the what-about-your-HDMI-cabling question, I exchanged the HDMI cables but as expected that did not help at all.
    At least I seem to be successful in working around the problem when using the Fantec player.
    Before I upgraded the firmware I was able to use the player with 1080p/60Hz and the player was setup accordingly.
    Now I switched to 1080p/50Hz and the video picture looks okay again. (However I did only a short test and as I said, sometimes_
    the picture is okay for a short time.)
    Unfortunately my BluRay player has no menu to change the frequency, so watching BluRay or the online services the player offers, is impossible.
    So what can I do now? A firmware downgrade (if that's possible) would be a quick temporary workaround I could accept. But in the medium term I expect Toshiba to restore the features they promoted and for which I paid.
    (Youtube stopped working with the old firmware and it looks as if 1080p/60Hz doesn't work anymore with the latest firmware.)
    Does anybody know a way to downgrade the firmware using an USB key? I already downloaded the previuos release tl838_853886.bin but I don't have a clou how (and if) it can be installed.
    Thanks for your hints

    > Before I upgraded the firmware I was able to use the player with 1080p/60Hz and the player was setup accordingly.
    I think you mixed simply the PAL and NTCS settings.
    Usually all external players provide an option where you could choose between PAL and NTSC.
    NTSC standard is the common one for countries in South / North America and Japan,
    The PAL is used in Europe and some countries in Asia.
    Both PAL and NTCS support 24p (24 frames per second) but most output for PAL and NTSC use interlaced frames which means that:
    NTSC (60Hz) supports fps 60i or 30p
    PAL (50Hz) generally uses 50i or 25p;
    Probably the external player supports PAL settings and its set to 50Hz and therefore its play properly using the 1080/50Hz.

  • When is the next iOS update??

    Can anyone please tell me when or what date is the next iOS update as I'm still tying to either downgrade back to ios6

    No one knows.
    Apple has not said anything at all about the next release of iOS yet.
    Downgrading iOS is not possible.
