Reverting back to iOS6

My parents upgraded the phone to iOS7 and cannot use it. Its too radical for them to use. We tried the accesability options etc but it with thier sights it does not work.
Need to go back to iOS6. Can you pls advise

I've had ios7 for a few days and just can't seem to get used to it. I called apple support only to find out that I am stuck with this poor excuse of an operating system. Why would apple take a step backwards? I understand upgrades are usually for the better, but not allowing customers to revert back to ios6 is wrong!!! Battery life is greatly shortened. Many bugs to still work out. Poor quality grahics. Search "downgrading ios7 to ios6" and you will find pages upon pages of unhappy customers. I have a feeling this is going to hurt apple more than it will help them. I hope they understand that customers are the ones who made them so successful in the first place, and fix this issue. This is my first, worst and last experience with apple! Going back to droid.

    All we can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • HT5957 Can I revert back to ios6 from ios7?

    I have downloaded ios7.02, from iOS.6 . I do not like the changes and would like to revert back, is this possible or do I have to put up with ios7?

    You can't downgrade to ios 6.

  • How do I revert back to Ios 6.  My Iphone 4 cannot support IOS 7.  I wish somebody had mentioned this before I upgraded.

    Caught up in the frenzy, I updated my Iphone 4 to IOS 7.  Didn't realize (nor did I hear from Apple) that my phone is too slow to support features on IOS7.  It is now super sluggish and has some annoying features.  I am so unhappy.  Tried to revert back to IOS6 but it seems the "window" to do that has closed.  Is there anything else I can do?  I really don't want to buy a new phone - this has been more than adequate for my needs.  I feel like Apply is forcing people to upgrade their devices by doing this.  Any suggestions?

    There is no suported way to do this. Apple never has, and never will, support going back to a previous release of iOS 7.
    I can only suggest you go through the supported channels.
    First, leave feedback at www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
    Second, call Apple support and file a problem.
    Third, visit a local Apple store and see if they can help you at the Genius bar.
    Forth, lesson learned. Never do an upgrade before visiting these discussion forums and getting a sense for how well the new release is being accepted. Keeping in mind of course that there are hundreds of millions of iPhone and IPads out there. I read just earlier that over 200 million iPads and iPhone were sold just last year. So of course we all need to factor in that posts to these forums represent a very small fraction of the total number of  iPhone and iPad users.

  • Change from ios7 back to ios6

    Is it possible to ditch iOS7.0, and revert back to iOS6. The new 7 software update is bland and a step backwards, what nonsense from apple...

    tigerstripedogs I have answered a couple of posts with similar subjects with the following:
    I too am very dissapointed in iOS7 design, to be honest I just upgraded as I trusted Apple on things like this but never will I again... OMG what has happened?
    Unfortunatley I too could not find a way of going back to iOS6 without actually buying a new phone with it already installed... which I have no intention of doing. The only thing it seems you can do is what I did and give your feedback to Apple, I couldn't find a feedback for iOS 7!!!! so I sent my for the iPhone and gave it a subject of 'iOS7 design on iPhone'.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    In all honestly I don't think Apple actually listen to much of what we users think although I did send my feedback and I am hoping Apple will waken up to their massive mistake when sales start dropping because of this what seems badly thought through design.

  • IOS6 facetime is terible. and when reverting back to ios5.1.1 i cant have my imovie or iphoto!!!

    please fix this!

    Yes thats very true however with a full HD that wasimpossible to backup apps I can just redownload!
    as for reverting if managed to get mymum to ditch her galaxy tab that she loved and get ipad 3rd gen so she can see the kids via reliable video which we cant get as good from anywhere else! when we both haveiOS 5.1.1 its fine!
    however when i updated to iOS 6 it was useless it was poor video quality!  poor audio! and i tryed this for 2 days and was the same. i called her 1 last time justto be sure and it was still bad so i reverted back to iOS 5.1.1 and it was flawless again!!!!
    also i noticed these other issues with iOS 6
    Touchscreen not as sensative!
    Responce time is slower and not as fluid as iOS 5.1.1
    Maps are not even complete in my area therfore find myphone was rubbish.
    Quality of satalite images are poor.
    Image quality on facebook app is degraded terribly.
    in general the display is not so sharp as it was making the retina a waist of time.
    Wifi dropping at times.
    Battery life is badly reduced.
    Siri cant find anything closer than 7 miles away!
    things that arewithin walkiing distance that siri could not see neerby and told closest was 7 miles!
    Morrisons - 1 mile
    Tescos - 2 miles
    Asda- back of my house!
    all those siri can only find7 miles away.
    Also siri only showed things under 7 miles as km not miles!anything after is miles.
    too many bugs hence why i reverted.
    so anyways apple are forcing users to update which is wrong.
    imovie and iphoto all worked on iOS 5.1.1 why force people who want it to have to have iOS 6!!!!
    It worked just fine on iOS 5.1.1!!!!!

  • Ios6 is terrible,constant crashes,ugly layout,is there a way I can revert back  to ios5.1?!

    Am I the only person completely bummed out by the update?Extremely slow,constant crashes,awful App Store layout..is there a way I can revert back to iOS.5.1?!?! Please help Apple!!!! The rush release was a bad idea!

    Yes, there is way to downgrade if you saved your "SHSH".  If you have not backup your "SHSH" you are screwed.  Because Apple decided to close the ios 5.1.1 signing windows so you can't do downgrade at all unless other developers team out there know away to work around.  The most stupid decision for Apple is to make upgrade iOS option to the latest, and not giving users the option to chose which ios to upgrade. I want singing windows open back up for 5.1.1 so I can restore 5.1.1.

  • Can you revert back to ios5 from 6

    Hi, I have updated to IOS6 on my iPhone 3G 16gb, but seems very sluggish and slow, did a bit of googling and it seems this can happen on phones lower than 3GS/4G, so, can I safely revert back to IOS5? is this possible.
    thanks

    No, once Apple releases an operating system update the older versions are removed and inaccessable.

  • My iPhone 4S has decide to stop playing any of my music. All my songs are there, but when I click to play, it just scrolls through a bunch of songs and then reverts back to the play list. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this? Thanks.

    I am having the same issue. And today, I noticed that when I was talking on the phone, the volume went down low. I had to reboot the phone, so that the volume was up again. Mostly, though, it's my music that I am having issues with.
    Same issue as listed above. iPhone 4S. IOS6.

    That only backs up the data.
    Unfortunately you cannot revert to the previous version. 

  • Please change the view in the top sites, the 6.1 upgrade has reverted back to a plane two dimensional view, which is a little plain. Can I revert back to an older version via my time capsule save?

  • I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?

    I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?  Thanks to you from the UnTechie

    The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
    You cannot reverse the upgrade.

  • TS5223 After my iphone updated to ios7, it reverted back to my old icloud account which I do not know the password, do not have access to the email it sends the reset to and the reset for security options say my birthday information is wrong.

    Help!!! I've lost all of my contacts and information after the ios7 update. After the update I plugged my phone into my MacBook and it reverted back to my old icloud account. I checked my MacBook and everything on there is connected to my new icloud account. I'm not sure why this has happened, but I have been trying for two days to get my new icloud account back. My phone won't allowe to log out of the icloud account it is logged into because I don't know the password. Simple solution, reset the password. Not so simple. I don't have the email address associated with the account anymore. So I attempted the security question option. When I entered my birthdate, it said that it was incorrect. I have tried multiple times and nothing will work. Can someone please help me??

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
