Possible to downgrade iOS4 - iOS313?

I 'upgraded' my ipod touch 2G to iOS4 last night, for the most part it went well. everything saved and transferred over but my photos were very blurry. So I deleted them off of my ipod (unsynced, whatever), deleted the cache, and now they won't transfer back over. At all.
I resaved the files, copied them to another part of the system, renamed them, reset sync history in itunes (9.2), scanned the harddrive for file system errors, restarted my system, restarted the ipod, restarted itunes. Did a 'hard restore' for my ipod (which deleted all my data--thanks for that). New photos will transfer over, however the old photos still will not.
Of the 3 "upgrades" I have done with my ipod, this is the worst of the upgrades (the first one was horrible too, but I didn't have any data on it at that time). Given their track record once I get this problem fixed, IF I can get this problem fixed without getting another ipod, I will never install another update from apple again.
If there's a way to fix this without sending it back to apple or without itunes that would be a sanity saver.

I understand more than I did. Photos still works but they broke it.
iOS4 on my 2nd gen 8GB apple will still show my files but it no longer recognizes sub-folders.
I used to have two folders for the two albums I had; now it won't do that. When I select the folder I want, it syncs. /It still reports the wrong number of files uploaded/. But it seems to work. Since you apple changed the way it works it begs the question: WHERE DID THEY ####### DOCUMENT IT!?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • Is it possible to downgrade to 10.5.5 with the combo updater?

    I'm one of the lucky people who no longer have firewire after the 10.5.6 update. I was wondering if it was possible to downgrade to 10.5.5 using the combo updater? There weren't any issues prior to the update and now I can't access my peripherals in OS X. I have boot camp installed and everything works in windows. Also, I've tested the drive on my PowerBook (which still runs Tiger) and everything works fine (DiskWarrior and Disk Utility don't detect any problems). I've re-applied 10.5.6 using the combo updater and I've reset the PRAM, to no avail. At this point I'm fairly certain it's a 10.5.6 issue. So, is it possible to downgrade to 10.5.5?

    no. there are no downgrade options in OS X. 10.5.5 combo update will refuse to install if you try. if you don't have a 10.5.5 backup the only way to get back to 10.5.5 is to do an archive and install and then upgrade to 10.5.5 using 10.5.5 combo update.

    There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
    It will always restore to the latest available software.

  • Possible to downgrade my E71 firmware?

    After updating my E71 a week ago, i'm facing the following problems...
    1. Phone makes click like sound whenever the phone beeps
    2. Bluetooth transfer rate has decreased upto 60%
    3. Web browser just closes (maybe crashes) while browsing
    4. Very difficult to connect to Bluetooth file transfer service with PC
    5. File manager still says memory card is in use even after disconnecting the phone from usb (in mass storage mode)
    6. More problems being discovered....
    Someone please tell me is there any way to downgrade the firmware? The people at Customer Care Center at my place says that it is not possible to downgrade the firmware anywhere around the world once it is upgraded... I'm really very much disappointed with my phone.. Someone help!

    Nope, you are out of luck as far as downgrading goes. I'd try to reload the device one more time.
    Could you please explain?
    Use the Nokia Software updater to reinstall the software. When you go to install it tells you that you have the current latest version, and if you want to reinstall it. It downloads in most cases a fresh copy of the firmware and reinstalls it.
    I have no problems with the latest firmware on mine. It might also be worth resetting it to factory defaults as well.

  • Is it possible to downgrade from iTunes 11 back to 10.7

    Hi

    Thanks

    =Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
    Try activating the sidebar, menu bar, and status bar and see if this is close enough to the previous version to make you content.  It is easier than downgrading and eventually you will be forced to run a newer iTunes unless you have an endless supply of the model computer you currently own.
    You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404).  Alternatively:
    Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
    Here's a step-by-step method and you may find it easier to follow than alternative methods I have posted below.
    Downgrade iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7 - http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/
    If the above does not work, or you want to do it without Pacifist, or you want to know what is actually going on when downgrading, or you encounter error messages, here's more details:
    Quit iTunes.
    Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at:  http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394.  Do steps 3 and 4.  Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential.  Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
    Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7.  Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved.  Two ways to do this are:
    1.  (Easier) Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
    2. (More work) Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
        Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
        After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7.  I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
    AirTrafficHost.framework
    CoreFP.framework
    DeviceLink.framework
    iTunesAccess.framework
    MobileDevice.framework
    After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl"  and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

    Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).  A  variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

  • Is it possible to downgrade to 10.7.1 from Apple's latest abortion?

    My encrypted external hard drives will no longer mount and I had to wipe my drive in my desktop to reinstall Lion. I have read a few threads and know that there is a conflict between PGP and 10.7.2, however, I have removed all components associated with PGP and never used PGP on my external drives.  My question is two-fold; does anyone have work-around to access my external HDDs or, short of that, is it possible to downgrade to Lion version 10.7.1 or earlier?
    Thanks in advance.

    Wait for update from PGP to work with 10.7.2 is the only answer besides uses hardware based encrypted external drives instead of software ones.
    The computer thinks it's wrtiting and reading from a ordinary external drive.
    and Apple certainly has been having a lot of miscarriages lately, everyhting from firmware and up, it's like someone decided to puke their lunch into a high speed fan to cover the whole office just for giggles.

    in ios6, youtube cannot be played in the background unlike in the ios5. Is there a way round this ? And also is it possible to downgrade back to ios 5.1??

    You cannot downgrade your software. The only way you can downgrade your software is by jailbreaking your device (which can be risky if you dont know what your doing). Remember if you are downgrading by jailbreaking it will void your warranty with Apple - and you could run the risk of disabling your device.
    However, im not too sure about the YouTube problem, my only guess is that since it is not an original app that comes with the iOS software.
