HT4623 How do I return to iOS 6 after iOS 7 install has failed?

I attempted to update my iPhone 4s last night via iTunes on my Mac. I backed up my iPhone 4s via iTunes. iTunes prompted me that it needed to be updated which I did. Then I proceeded to update my iPhone and iTunes made another back up of the iPhone. The download failed a few times but eventually completed. Eventually the update was proceeding and then I got a message stating the update failed for a unknown reason. Currently the iPhone is unusable and shows the iTune + iPhone or connect to iTunes picture and iTunes give this message ... "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3014)." I tried multiple scenarios from Apple Support Communities and nothing has worked.

I used a another Mac with the previous version of iTunes to attempt a recovery and it seemed like it was working and then it gave me "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." When I look this up it points to a similar and potentially related issue with conneting to the gs.apple.com server. Is there a diagnostic tool that can confirm this?

Downgrading of any version of iOS isn't supported by Apple. If you search the web, you may find instructions that may work, but you're on your own should any problems arise. For many people it goes without problems, but for some it's reportedly disabled their devices.

How can i run a executable right after a rman job has run?

How can i run a executable right after a rman job has run?
I have a rman job that execute every night. The backup is local.
I want to have a duplicate of the backup on another machine.
I want the executable to sync the directory to execute right after the rman backup.
How can i do this using the job scheduler?
Normaly, i would configure rman to run the backup on both location. But im having trouble with rman regarding this:ORA-600 [2103] on RMAN Backup to NFS mounted file system

Hi,
If the rman job is in fact a Scheduler jobs (appears in the dba_scheduler_jobs view) then you can create a second event-based job that runs after the rman job (and set the raise_events attribute for the rman job).
Instructions are here
Create Event based job
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

How do you update iPad iOS under Settings/General/Software if the Software button is non-existent?

You do not have iOS 5 on your iPad so you have to update by using a computer via the latest version of iTunes. You can connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary Tab on the right. Click on Check for Update.
After you update to iOS 5 or later, you will have Software Update in you settings and can update via WiFi OTA. If you have the original iPad - you can only upgrade to iOS 5.1.1.

I recently uploaded ios 7.0.2 to my iphone 4, and hate it. It is extremely slow, and applications constantly crash and freeze up. I want to go back to ios 6. Anyone know how to do that? ios 7 may work fine on faster iphone 5's, but don't upgrade older iphone 4's.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. iOS 7 is running just fine on my spouse's iPhone 4.

How do I upgrade to iOS 5 when there is no software update handle in the settings?

You update via your computer's iTunes, the Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad 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 iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

How do I return to my inbox after following a link

How can I return back to OSx after installing Lion?

I'm disappointed. After installing Lion, everything is slower. The best thing I had last year was my new MacBook Pro, because everything was fast.. (sleep, opening programs, multitasking...etc) Now, everything takes forever. How can I return back to OSx?

Downgrade 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. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
