Ios 8 back to Ioa 7 on ipnone 4s

We upgraded an iPhone 4s to IOS 8 from IOS 7 and it is not working well can we go back to IOS 7?

Apple does not support this but there are several articles on the internet. Check Lifehacker's website.

  • HT1766 Hello, how do I get back all my iOS data from my lost phone to my new phone, but my laptop where the iOS was backed up is ruined, & nothing comes up on my iCloud. I also backed up my old laptop data to my new laptop.

    I had recently lost my iPhone and the last time I connected (backed up my iOS) to my computer was around a year and half ago because after that my laptop got ruined. And when I went online to access my backup/information on iCloud nothing comes up. Now I bought a new laptop and backed up all my data from my old latop to my new laptop, and I want to have all my iOS information backed up on my new iPhone. If possible, how can I make that happen. Please help, much appreciated.
    Thank you

    No such thing has occurred.  iPhones do not backup to one another.
    It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
    If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

    Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

  • HT1766 Hi, I recently updated my IOS and backed up on itunes. In the process, I lost all my apps on my iphone. Any ideas on how to restore them? If I use the back up option, will I go back to my old IOS? Please help!

    Hi, I recently updated my IOS and backed up on itunes. In the process I lost all my apps on my phone. If I use the back up option on itunes, will it restore my iphone to my old IOS? Please help!

    If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

  • Since i have downloaded the new IOS 8 my ipod touch 5G has been much slower, is there any way to downgrade and get the MUCH better IOS 7 back?

    I have recently downloaded the new IOS 8 and it has made my Ipod much slower.
    is there any way to get IOS 7 back or a way to speed up IOS 8?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple:
    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:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How to Downgrade from ios 5 back to ios 4?

    Hey guys. I am trying to downgrade my iPod from the new ios 5 back to the ios 4 version. I have looked up videos on how to do it on youtube.com. The videos that i have watched so far all require a specific download. I'm pretty sure this is what it's called: iPod1,1_1.1.4_4A102_Restore. Well I have already downloaded it. They also said i have to go to my iTunes. Plug in my iPod Touch to my laptop. and put my iTouch in DFU mode and that's what I did. They said to click the name of your iPod and while holding shift on the keyboard click restore on the iPods name page on iTunes. So i did that and it tells me to pick a file. I did that as well and i clicked the download that i was talking about before iPod one. So i chose that one as it says to in the videos. and on theirs it says Restoring iPod Touch and it downgrades it back to the 4.3.3 but when i do it it says specifically this, "The iPod "iPod" can not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible." and i dont know what that means nor do i know how to make it compatible. That's basically all i need to know, basically how to fix that error. Please help. I am going to Texas and i really want to turn it back before i go on my trip. Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.

    It would probably be a whole lot easier to just explain what problems you are having with iOS 5 than try to downgrade and risk getting stuck in a restore loop.

  • How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows

    How To : How To : Sync playlists from iOS device back to itunes - Windows (May work on Mac too)
    NOTE - THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU HAVE THE MUSIC FILES ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY
    If your like me and format your computers only to discover that you've lost all those time consuming playlists that you spent hours on, well your in luck.
    Without any Third-Pary programs it's possible to save those awesome playlists, and pull them back from the blink of oblivion.
    Step 1 - Connect iDevice to your computer and then open iTunes.
    Step 2 - Locate your iDevice on the left side bar on iTunes under the heading 'Devices', click the arrow on the left of the devices name and select a playlist.
    Step 3 - Right-Click the selected playlist and choose 'Export playlist', Save it as a Text file.
    Step 4 - In iTunes, up the top click 'File' then locate Library, move across to 'Import Playlist...', Select the playlist you just created and click open.
    Step 5 - Your playlist will appear on the left side bar under the heading 'Playlists', Select the playlist and attempt to play one of the songs contained.
    Step 6 - You would have been prompted that iTunes doesnt see the file, select 'Locate' and then go to the location of your music and locate the file.
    (Sorry dont have an image for this one due to having all my music already found)
    Step 7 - Doing this once will find all the music in the playlist given that it's in a similar location of the song you found.
    Congrats you have successfully moved a playlist back from oblivion

    There's a different method.
    1. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> Check Manually manage music and videos.
    2. On iTunes -> Devices -> <your device> -> Summary -> uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
    done.

  • I want to get ios 5 back how do i do it

    i want ios 5 back on my ipod please let me do it i do not like ios 6

    All I can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the IOS is not supported by Apple

  • Come on!, I want iOS 5 back!!!

    Come on, what is the big deal with letting downgrade iOS 6...
    You are pushing people away!
    I just want my old iOS 5 back!
    An update to 6.0.1 won't solve anything!
    it's not just the maps!, the phone dial interface is AWFUL!!!,
    Some apps don't work any more,
    Where is the pretty white bar with the green battery status???, why change it for this plain boring bar!!!
    Some apps like Stocks and Weather look crapy because they are made for a Phone with a bigger screen!
    Where are the 200+ improvements??? I can't find a single one!
    This iOS 6 does nothing new and better, that I couldn't do before...
    So PLEASE!!!!! LET US DOWNGRADE TO iOS 5.1.1
    Personally, if by the end of the week I can't downgrade my phone, I'll be getting an Android one.

    Welcome to the forums flip_cl.
    Clearly, you didn't read the Terms of Use of this forum.  Had you done so, you'd realize that you're not speaking to Apple here, just users like yourself.
    Addressing Apple like you have "Come on Apple, what is the big deal......" not only is a waste of your time, but wastes the time of other people here on this forum.  In addition, it makes you look foolish for posting inappropriately.

  • Why did I ever updated IOS 6? I want IOS 5 back!

    Why did I ever updated IOS 6? I want IOS 5 back!

    The youTube App is gone because Apple's license to use it has expired.
    YouTube is still accessible on the iPad via Safari (or any other browser) at http://m.youtube.com/
    Sign in at this site and your favorites, etc. will still be present. Save the site icon to the iPad Home screen and you will have a replacement for the youTube App.
    There is also an iPhone youTube App in the App Store which works on the iPad as well as the Jasmine App.
