The new ios7 is slowing my iPhone 4 down badly . Love my iPhone but if this is how it is going to be I will switch soon

Question

Is this happening to other people and if so can it be fixed by apple I heard a comment about going back to previous iOS but was done by simebody other than apple which I do not want to do . So any help out there that will enable me to keep using my iphone4 until I can afford the 5

Answer 1

Thanks for the response!
1) If I do that, then the TC shows up under "shared devices", but to see external hard drive connected to the TC, I have to first click on the TC in Shared Devices and then the external drive shows up as a folder. Is there any way to have it show up were it would normally "mount" - like near the iDisk, My Hard Drive, etc.?
3) Yes, the external drive is connected via USB - isn't that the only option? Actually I tried it again last night and had much better luck. During a 22 minute show it skipped maybe 4 times, and not that badly. When I play files directly from the TC they play perfectly.
4) Ya, what I meant was that my backups had been failing until I erased the disk and excluded my downloads folder. Once I did that everything was fine, but when I re-include it, things seem to break again.
5) That's good to hear - though I could have sworn that when I had Time Machine running onto an external hard drive connected directly to the computer (before TC) I saw the full file structure without having to mount any .sparsebundle file.
Also - The "date modified" of the .sparsebundle files is staying at the time they were originally created, not the latest backup. When I mount the file I see all the sequential backups, but not until then. is that normal?
