Will plugging iPhone 5 into iTunes, cancelling sync and hitting restore give me back IOS 6?
I read that that would downgrade and was wondering if it's work or if anyone knows a different way to down grade. I just got this phone and I didn't know how big the changes iOS 7 would bring. Can't stand iOS 7. Some please help me downgrade
You cannot downgrade. Apple has stopped signing iOS 6, so you cannot install it in any device compatible with iOS 7.
Apple will release iOS 7 updates in the future to improve performance and add features, so I recommend you to wait for them.

Sync'd iPhone 3GS on laptop. iTunes captured tones and won't give them back!!!
Several months ago, I synced my phone and I had 4 ringtones I had purchased from the iTunes store. When the sync was finished my tones were on my iTunes under tones, on my laptop, but NOT on my phone. I believe this may have been the same sync in which I updated and got iOS 5. I thought I saw something about a possible bug. I checked out a few online forums and help discussions. I thought I understood how to get them back onto the phone. So today I tried agian and NO, Not happening. I tried everything I thought I knew to do and still, my ringtones show up on the itunes library page. I go to tones, they are there. all their little boxes are checked. I right cllick them and I have choices. I tried moving them to purchased to see if I could download them again. No luck. The only noticable difference in today's sync is that the one lonely Christmas ringtone that I purchased in December didn't go bye bye and get trapped in iTunes purgatory. Can anyone help me? I REALLY do NOT want to re-purchase tones I have already paid for(BTW, I tried that too. But with tones it doesn't catch you like music does and tell you that you have already purchsed that tone! *sigh*)
ThanksTry altering the tag for the ringtone: right-click on a ringtone in iTunes and select Get Info, go to the Info tab and make a slight change to the Artist, tap OK and try syncing again. If it transfers to your phone do the same for the others.

Randomly when I plug my Iphone 4s into Itunes it will tell me that it can't detect my phone and that I need to restore it. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe every two weeks.I restore it and then it works for a while, but then a couple weeks later I'll plug it in and I get the same message again. It's very frustrating because even though I have all the settings to save to cloud, my apps and data don't all come back.
Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

Why do songs i delete off of my iPhone redownload when i plug my phone into iTunes?
I have over 1000 songs in my Itunes library and I don't want every single one on my phone. When i first plugged in my phone, it downloaded all the songs onto my phone and I took the time to go through every single song and delete the ones I didn't want. but EVERY. SINGLE. time I plug my phone into itunes, they download all right back onto my phone! I have the setting "manually select music to iphone" so why does it do this? it makes me so mad!!
PLEASE HELP!!Hi chawni,
Sounds like you have the Sync all music box selecte on the Music Profile tab.
Manual sync only means that iTunes will not automatically start syncing when you hook the device up to it. However, when you click on the Sync (or Apply) button, it uses the profile you have set up to determine what to sync.
Hook up your device to the computer where your iTunes library is, and select the device when it displays.
To the right, you will see the Profile screens. Click on the Music one. Set it up to sync the specific music you wish. Once you have completed setting it up, click Sync (or Apply) and it will update your device with only the music you have selected.
Cheers,

My ipod touch 4th gen will not turn on, i have held the power and home buttons, i have plugged my ipod into itunes and tried again, yet nothing happens, what should i do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi there.
Have an iphone 3G and wen to install the Facebook app from the app store. Wen I selected install app, it said that the iphone requires IOS 4.3.
I then plugged the phone into itunes and it said the phone was up to date (IOS 4.2.2 I think it said?). How can i install these apps, the same happened and other apps i tried to install. Any advice would be much apprecaitedUnfortunately there is nothing that you can do and you CAN'T install these apps becuse your phone is too old. A 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2, which is the most it can support and these apps need iOS 4.3 or above to be installed and there are no versions of these apps available.
Developers have to place a cut off somewhere and keep developing for the most recent software that does not now include the 3G.
If you want to install these apps on your phone, then you will have to upgrade to either an iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, 4s or 5. That is all you can do because you won't be able to download these apps on an iPhone 3G - just not possible any longer. -

The sync is from computer to iphone.

I plugged my iphone in to my laptop to update it and the computer shut down right at the end. My phone now has the itunes symbol and an arrow asking me to plug my phone into itunes (I assume the laptop). It's frozen like that even when switched off. If I plug the connection into the laptop it's not recognising it now. HELP!

When I go into itunes to sync my computer with my iphone I keep getting message that I must download itunes 10.5, so how come I keep downloading it, but it keeps giving me this message and I can't sync?
What version of iTunes are you currently running? To check, in iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. For example, I see:
iTunes: 10.5.2.11 -
I tried to update the software on my phone. It showed a picture to plug the phone into itunes. Plugged it in and now itunes says i cannot update the phone as it is in recovery mode. I cannot turn back on the phone without this message showing up. Any suggestions? Thanks

That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point. -

my iphone 3GS needs updating but when i plug it into itunes it reads and said the activation is out of time and the phone keeps going off?
jadekinsey wrote:

No such message occurs.
Are you trying to state that it says "Unable to activate"?
If so, this typically indicates the device has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided via these forums.
