Is it possible to format my iphone 4 and keep its old ios of 4.3.5

Hello,
I want to fully restore my iphone, but I want to keep its original version of 4.3.5  Is there anyway to do this?  I want an authentic way.  I want the original 4.3.5 is this legal?

Apple only supports restoring to the current available version of iOS for the device.  For the 3GS, 4 and 4S this is version 5.1.1.
There is no legitimate reason to restore to any other version.  The only reason you might want to stick with an old version is for illegal unlocks or hacking/jailbreaking which cannot be discussed here.

  • Restoring iPhone and keeping existing (old) 3.1.3 OS

    My legacy iPhone is due for a restore. It's been a long time and I'd like to keep it at it's current OS level - 3.1.3.
    The restore screen tells me that it will upgrade the OS to the latest version. Is there a way to keep it at the current version?
    I believe that 3.1.3 was the last version I downloaded. But there might be a later version on my drive. I really can't remember, and I'm not sure where it would have been stored if I did a "download only" of a later OS.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Of course, I'm not interested in downgrading. I'm interested in maintaining the phone with it's current OS. I was hoping there was a way of not having Apple force an upgrade on my tired old phone.
    Thanks for the info, anyway!

    As a clarification, you can have up to 5 devices with iTunes.
    Sorry, this is incorrect.  The limit of 5 relates to the number of computers you can authorize to use iTunes, NOT the number of iOS devices you can sync with a single iTunes library.  You can sync as many iOS devices as you like to iTunes.  See whitewater2's post below... he is syncing at least 6 iOS devices with the same iTunes library.

    Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to start. If still problem, and your decide to Restore your iPhone, try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.

  • I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhone

    I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people.

    Whose Apple ID are you using? It sounds like whoever co-opted the account may have changed the security questions as well.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

  • With iTunes 11, it is not possible to sync my iPhone, and my iPod with my computer

    Whith the new iTunes 11, it is not possible to sync my iPhone and my iPod with my computer.
    1. the iPhone AND iPod are not detected by iTunes, they don't appear any more on iTunes. (for eg with iTunes 10, we see clearly that an iPod/iPhone is connected)
    2. There is no possibility (page, button, etc) to sync and to see what is on the iPhone/iPod
    Why?
    How can i sync my iPhone and my iPod with iTunes 11?
    How can i manage what is to sync between iTunes 11 and the iPhone/iPod?

    Im using a PC, and yes i tried everything, turning my phone off, my pc off, plugging the phone on another computer, but nothing works

  • How can I read email from my aol account from my iphone and keep it as uread on my computer at home.  It automatically goes to read mail on my computer.  On my computer if I want to keep an email to answer later I can mark it "Keep as New".

    How can I read my email from my aol account from my iphone and keep it as "unread" on my computer at home?  At home I can read an email and if I want to get back to it at a later date I can mark it as "keep as new".  I tend to forget it if it goes to "read" mail.   Right now, when I read an email from my phone it goes automatically to "read" mail.

    On the iPad, using the mail app, there is no way to do what you are asking without tapping the flag icon and marking the item as unread. Have you tried the OWA app for the iPad? It may have that functionality, but I haven't tested it as you need an Office 365 subscription with Exchange support to use the app.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

    I have just bought a new iPhone and gave my old one to my Mum. My problem is that even with a new SIM and phone number I seem to be getting her messages as well as mine on my thread. They are also being recorded as both sent and received so she must be paying twice for each SMS sent. Help please

    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.
    Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above.

    Thank you

    Apple Online Store sells unlocked iPhone in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French, Dutch), Brazil, Canada (English, French), China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong (English, Chinese), Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French, German), Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.

  • Is it possible to install iWork '13 and keep iWork '09 running too?

    Is it possible to install iWork '13 and keep iWork '09 running too?
    Everyone is saying how 'dumbed down' the new versions of Keynote, Numbers and Pages are...is there a way to test out the new programs without overriding the '09 versions? If I open up the App Store it just says I need to update and I fear this will wipe out iWork '09 completely but I read somewhere it was possible to have both...?

    When you download the new iWork IOS versions, the previous versions of iWork applications go into a folder in you Applications Folder called, "iWork '09".  To keep using the old versions with your old files, first start the old applications and then open the file from within the program.  If you double-click your old files they will be opened (and converted) to work with the new applications....and won't be open-able by your old applications afterward.

  • TS3297 Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message--.  iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.

    Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message…….  iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.

    I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
    Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
    Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.
