Apple does not support downgrading to iOS 6. You'll have to keep version 7.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

I downloaded Firefox 4, but don't like it. I want to go back to the previous edition
I downloaded Firefox 4, but don't like it. I want to go back to the previous version. I don't like having the bookmarks over on the right after all this time of having them on the left and I don't like the way the cursor won't autosnap to buttons the way they used to. I don't have a question other than how to go back to the previous version.
No worries, agoetz. You can change your voicemail feature any time you'd like. Just log into My Verizon http://bit.ly/xB4iTc and select Change Features. There's a voicemail section to pick from all the different voicemail options available for your phone.

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.
Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.
This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
"OK - this is how it works:
In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud! (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
Restoring from a backup can take some time. The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data. If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while. The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad. When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
THANK YOU edgar999!!!! -
My zagg key board connects but the keys I type either don't type character, type 2 characters that are different when I hit only 1 key, or doesn't type at all. Is there a way to reset zagg keyboard to factory settings?
Recharging is a good thing to try. They do start to act odd when the battery gets low. Beyond that, just like Tom says, contact Zagg. I have one of their keyboards and the company has wonderful customer service.

iPhone 5s. Never synced it. Passcode protected. Broke the screen. Need to rest back to factory settings. Can this be done?
Hello Slimshaney74,
if you have a Mac or a PC with iTunes installed you may be able to do this. If your screen is broken but your iPhone still reacts to touch you have to just turn it off, and if your iPhone doesn't respond to touch, you have to hold both home and power buttons for about 7 seconds (it might not work from the first try) so that it shuts down. Afterwards get your lightning to USB cable connected to the computer but not to the phone. You hold your phone's home button and while holding it, you connect it to the cable, iTunes should say something like "iTunes detected iPhone in recovery mode"and a window with a restore button should pop up. You click on the restore button and iTunes will walk you through the process afterwards. If the iPhone has Find my iPhone feature activated you will have to enter your Apple ID password at the activation process after the iPhone is restored.
Hope that I helped! -
my ipod was stolen. I do not have the serial code, and I want to set it back to factory settings so that no one takes my information, Help!!!
The serial number is not required and would not help
lost/stolen
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I've had to reset my laptop to factory settings a few times recently and now I realise that i have auth'd my iphone to my laptop 4 times now (i can only do this once more). Is there anyway of de-authing my laptop without being having access to itunes on my laptop to do this?
Without access, you're gonna have to wait until you reach the 5 authorized computer limit, then you can de-authorize all.

Throw away any files which may contain sensitive data and securely empty the Trash.
If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, connect its original thumbdrive and restart the computer with the Option key held down.
If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down.
Use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X installed, and then install a new OS onto it. If you used a disk and are going to sell or give away the computer, include the disk with it.

I just updated to ios 7.0. I really don't like it! How can I go back to the old iphone software?
Hello! So I updated my iphone 4s software a few days ago to the ios 7.0. I really don't like it! The calendar is the worst part of it! I used to love the calendar, notes and clock/timer app on my iphone! Now I hate the new layouts and how they work! Is there any way to go back to the older software on my iphone?
I was in the same situation. Today I went to my wireless carrier's store and upgraded my hardware to iPhone5. It comes with iOS 6.1.4.
I had backed up my 4S before foolishly installing iOS7, so I was able to recover all the apps, most settings, etc., as usual, in iTunes.
Hope this helps. -
I have seen Firefox 4.0 on another computer and don't like what you have done to it so when it asked if I wanted 4.0 I always said NO. This time when I booted up and opened firefox it said updates were being installed and when it finished it was 4.0.
I want to go back to my previous version. How do I do that?Check that your automatic updates setting has not changed. I recommend "Ask me what I want to do".
If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to display the classic menu bar, then
Tools > Options > Advanced > Update mini-tab
What don't you like about Firefox 4? Maybe it's easy to change?
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself! -
Restoring computer back to factory settings ater upgrading to Maverick
I'm going to be selling my computer so I want to restore it back to the factory settings. I upgraded to Maverick so will that be a problem or do I just restore it as though no updates were done?
It would have helped to tell us you used Snow Leopard instead of us having to guess.
Do this, then:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. 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.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Hi
Unfortunately I bought a 4s Apple to return the phone to factory settings and now I have the wrong password only I would input password.
Please can you help me.
GratefulIf you don't know the passcode but have synced with iTunes before while the passcode was set on it, you can back it up then restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.
If you haven't synced it while the passcode was set on it, or if you don't have access to the last computer it was synced with, you'll have to force it into recovery mode and restore it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. Then restore to an existing backup if you have one; if not, you'll have to restore it as a new iPhone and start over.
