How to restore iPad without updating?

How to restore iPad without updating? Why this stupid apple didn't put two buttons for restoring and updating iDevice.. they should include "RESTORE ONLY"

Performing a restore from a backup does not upgrade the ios.

Hold down the power button and home button at the same time until the phone powers on, shuts back off, powers on again and continue to hold it until it shows the itunes logo to plug in to itunes. This should allow you to restore without unlocking it.

HT4623 How to avoid "restoring" iPAD after attempt to update to latest version of iOS 7?

After I downloaded a new app to my iPad from my MacBook Pro, iTunes message asked me to update to latest version (iOS 7 already installed). Process took longer than expected and message requests to "restore the iPAD." Is there anyway not to do that?

Are you a developer? If so, post this question in the developer forum. If not, why are you using a beta version of ios 7? You need to restore your device as NEW in itunes and update the current software version.

Did a restore, and now my iPhone will not activate, though the iOS activation server seems to be "green"

SIM card is inserted, connected to wifi, and connected to iTunes though it tells me it is "unable to continue at this time"
Any other solutions?

Hi JG14usa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you attempted an update on your daughter’s iPhone but the update will not complete. For this type of situation, it may be necessary to place your iPhone into recovery mode and restore. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Best regards,
Joe

I bought my iPad from an Apple store, so when will the ios 7 update come through? Or, when is the update being released?

Had to restore ipod now it will not sync any of the apps that we have downloaded

Ipod was locked with password daughter forgot, had to restore ipod, now ipod will not sync any of the apps that we downloaded from itunes. Anyone know why???

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

If I restore standard fonts in font book, will it delete the fonts that came with my Adobe Creative Suite program?

I want to reorganize my fonts; some I've received from my school to work on projects; others I got from work and some I've downloaded myself. If I restore standard fonts in font book, will it delete the fonts that were installed with my Adobe Creative Suite 5 program?

I need to restore iPad 2 without OS updating at same time

Over the last few days I have finally taken the plunge to update the OS for my iPad 2...which I have been putting off for ages. Now this really should be a simple, straight forward task that should not require any specific technical knowledge to accomplish. Unfortunately this was not the case and because of several unfortunate factors my iPad is now effectively an expensive paper weight.
The first MASSIVE problem is that it is simply impossible to download the new ios 8 software directly onto my ipad or even via my PC. My internet connection is not great and every now and then the connection drops out and interrupts anything that is downloading. EVERY single time this happens I am forced to start the whole download again from scratch because Apple won't allow the download to resume (for whatever reason). Because there is no way I can download 1.4gb without a single hiccup in my internet connection during the process I simply cannot ever download the update via normal means.
My next step was to try and find a way of manually downloading the correct iOS file from a website. I managed to find what I believe to be the correct file to update to iOS 8 from a website (http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS8/031-05398.20140917.9eo9l/iPad2,1_8.0_12A365_Resto re.ipsw). I followed the instructions on the page where I found this link to manually choose a file in iTunes and update the software that way. I got an error message and the software did not update properly.
Now my iPad is stuck in "recovery mode" with a picture of a cable pointing to an iTunes icon and no matter what I do I cannot get it to boot normally. I try and do a restore in iTunes but every time I'm forced to download the 1.4gb update before it will do the recovery - which, as I said earlier I simply cannot do. If I cancel the download it also cancels the recovery process.
Can anyone please help me to recover the iPad to it's factory settings - WITHOUT DOWNLOADING THE OS AT THE SAME TIME - as I'm stuck in a never ending loop of misery and as I said the iPad is basically a very expensive paper weight!

I don't think it's possible if you are stuck in recovery mode but I may be wrong...
Since your device qualifies for iOS 8(.1), that is the version that will be downloaded/restored to the iPad.
I do know that you can restore your iPad (from backup & as new) and keep the same iOS version if you restore using the iPad itself under Settings/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings but since you can't access this because your stuck in recovery mode, the point is moot.
Have you tried downloading the update in the middle of the night (2 am or so) where dropouts are much less likely to occur?
It's always possible to take your device in to an Apple Store (make a Genius Bar reservation first) and do the iOS update there in the Apple Store.. I'm sure they will gladly help you out with it and not charge you a thing. The trouble with that would be if you don't have an Apple Store nearby.
Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

HT201365 please help me restore Ipad without losing data, it is disabled now?\

i recently updated to io7s ,,,,, entered my passcode too many times incorrectly an ipad disabled me ..... how do I restore without losing any or all of my data?

You will need to connect the device to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the device and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the device into recovery mode :http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
if you have no backup in itunes, then once you get the device going using the above, perform a full reset and restore from icloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

How to restore iPad without Redownloading iOS6

I have already downloaded via WiFi and trying to restore it via iTunes. It wants to download iOS6 before restoring. I know I can do it via the iPad but can I do it without downloading what I already have?

You need to put the iPad into recovery mode, if you succesfully do that then your computer's iTunes won't prompt you to enter the passcode on the iPad : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

How to restore iphone 4s without upgrading it to a new version of ios

I would like to restore my iphone 4s without upgradiong it to a new version of ios how can i do that please hepl

If you have never connected the phone to this computer, it will be treated as a new device and you'll have to restore it before it can be synced to your Mac.
Can you back up to iCloud by using the backup function on her phone in Settings/iCloud/Backup/ -> Back up now?

I need to restore an iphone 4 to 7.0.6 not the current 7.1

I need to restore an passcode locked CMDA iPhone 4 to 7.0.6 not the current 7.1. This is due to a mobile management application that our company uses that has not been verified to work with 7.1 yet. This iPhone is current on 5.1.0. I am trying to do the restore via iTunes and am using an old ipsw file for 7.0.6 but I keep getting the 3194 error when it tries to restore. I have tried all the "hosts" fil e suggestions but keep getting the same result. Is it no longer possible to restore an iPhone to an older version of iOS, even only one upgrade back??

Sorry, but it will only install the latest version (7.1).
