Restoring my ios6 backup still installed ios7 and now ios7 won't activate

Restoring my ios6 backup still installed ios7 and now ios7 won't activate
Why the **** would restoring from an ios6 backup dump me into a nonfunctional bug-ridden mess that is ios7? I want to put my phone back as it was before I installed the buggy POS that is ios7.

Hey buddy, if you're not going to pretend to answer my question, don't waste my time.
I restored my ios6 backup and it still dumped me in ios7. How do I put my phone back on an actually usuable operating system?

  • I got the ios7 and now it won't activate, can someone please help?

    I had to restore my phone this morning in order to download the ios7, after i did that i could download the software.. after downloading my phone came baxk on but itunes was saying that there was an error.. my phone turned on but would not let me get past the wifi screen, it says i am unable to activate. it just says " your iphone could not be activated because the activation server can not be reached. try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it or try again in a couple of minutes" i've tried connecting to itunes and nothing works! i'd really like to use my phone today.

    Unfortunately, you might have to wait a little bit.  I know how you feel.  I can't live without my phone either.  The activation servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today.

  • HT4623 loaded ios7 and now imessage will not activate

    can anyone help... updated iphone 5 with ios7 and now imessage will not activate?

    Your device has previously been hacked or jailbroken to unlock it for use on other carriers.
    Updating has likely bricked the device.

  • Upgrading unlocked 3GS from os3 to os6..and now it won't activate! Someone help me please!

    Hello,
    iPhone 3GS (8GB)
    Many of my apps stopped working because I was still running on operating system 4. I upgraded from os4 to os6 on my unlocked 3GS...and now it won't activate. I get the below error message:
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes"
    Well, I tried with iTunes and similar error message that activation is not possible at this time. I have waited and tried many many times over the past week and it won't activated
    This 3GS phone I bought from a friend in the UK. It was locked to the carrier O2 in the UK. I had it unlocked and have been using a prepaid carrier since. I am currently studying in Spain and need help how I can fix this issue?
    The nearest Apple store is 1 hour away. I took it to a local phone technician and he said it could not be fixed. I can't believe that this is true as it is just a software problem because the hardware of the phone works perfectly.
    I would greatly appreciated if any expert out there could help me please!
    Many thanks,
    Daniel

    Hi..thanks for your advice!
    Ok, I am student so buying a new phone is not possible ;( This experience has turned me off Apple anyway! All I did was click yes to their iTunes upgrade prompt asking me if I want to update....and now I don't have a phone and can't access all my backup etc on my iTunes because it seems the only way to get to it is with another iPhone!?
    I can't believe that through the Apple recycling program I could possibly get $50 for this phone because the hardware is perfect but there is no support for this issue...feels like Apple is just trying to force everyone with hacked phone to buy new ones!

  • I erased my iPhone data and now it won't activate

    Check and see if the SIM card is defective.

    There is an alternate method in this thread that you can try if you are unable to locate and disable all of your AV/AS software:

  • I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

    I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • Installed v8 and now itunes won't open

    I upgraded to V 8 and now itunes won't open. Saying my audio configuration not right. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I always backup and archive any and all versions I've used and downloaded, or at least until I feel safe with the current version.
    Setting a backup also lets a system be restored to prior point in time.

  • I restored my Iphone 5 and now it won't activate

    I restored my factory unlocked Iphone 5 to see if I could lower the size of OTHER and now I tried to activate it but it keeps saying that the Iphone could not be activate it because the activation server cannot be reached.
    I have tried to activate it over Wi-Fi and over the Cellular and it is not working.
    I connect it to Itunes but I am not getting the option to activate it. I only says IPHONE on the screen.

    I had to restore my iPhone 5 and of course I was going to update with the IOS 7, and now I haven't been able to activate the phone, it's going on 3 hours now that I've been trying to activate it.

  • My iphone completely froze so I had to reset it and now it won't activate.

    My iphone completely froze so I had to reset it. After resetting it, I went through the normal process and selected my wifi and when it asked to activate I confirmed and it keeps giving me this message "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached".. What do I do?

    The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download/activate iOS7 at the same time.
    There is a good chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day.
