I'm fairly sure this is not possible but had to ask anyway.  My wife's iPhone SE was on iOS 9 which she loved, and she hates iOS 10 (has tried it on my phone and can't stand it).  Today her phone popped up a dialog to upgrade and her finger slipped just enough to hit "OK" rather than "Cancel" (or whatever the precise wording, I forget).  Now she's on iOS 10 and is absolutely miserable.  Is there any possible way to revert?  I'm aware of the new "prometheus" option but as she's never jailbroken or had any interest in such things, she has no saved blobs for her phone from any prior OS version.  I know this is a long shot but... fingers crossed.

I'm trying to downgrade my iPhone from the current iOS to an older one, as per .  But every time I try, I always receive this error:     The iPhone could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build.     I have tried many times with and without DFU mode. Any ideas regarding this?

I have read many post about updating an iPad 1 (iOS 5.1.1) to iOS 8 but all I need at the moment is to update my iPad 1 to at least iOS 6. Is there any way I can update it to iOS 6? No jail breaking or anything, just a normal way of updating.

My iPhone was linked to my main computer and it has all my photos stored on it, but not in the camera roll. Since my husband blew the main computer up, my precious photos appear to be in limbo. It does not appear that I can import them anywhere. I could email all them one by one but that seems a little low tech. iTunes tells me that if I upgrade iOS I will lose my photos that are not in the camera roll. Also, the same would seem to be true if I deauthorize my main (now usless) PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have iOS 7 and I know how to work all of it but when there was iOS 6 all music you've bought on iTunes, could be deleted from the device. Now I you remove songs that you've bought on the device stay there with the stupid iCloud download symbol. I want it to go away completely because I have duplicates of almost everyone of my songs. How will I erase all music from my phone without doing factory reset.

Following the update to iOS 10.3.1, my phone warned me (unnecessarily as it turned out) that I had too little space to store all my photos at full resolution, and suggested that I switch to "optimized" storage (which for those unfamiliar with the feature stores a uselessly blurry simulacrum of the original only), which I foolishly did.    I immediately realized my mistake, and restored the "Download and Keep Originals" setting. But this appears to have had no effect. I still see only the placeholders, until I click on an individual photo and wait for it to download.  So the question is: what does "Download" mean? Does it mean   download all photos automatically (e.g., in the background over time) or  download a photo only when it is viewed?   If the answer is 2, is there a way to force all my photos to sync at full resolution to my iPhone without clicking on each individual photo (which would take about a month of continuous clicking, with no breaks for sleeping)?

I just installed iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 several days ago, and I backed it up to iCloud. After performing a sync with my PC, it deleted a bunch of apps. I'd like to restore these from the iCloud backup.  I tried searching Apple's site and Google to see how to restore from a backup, but all the examples are for newly activated phones, not existing phones. I couldn't find any options relevant to this in the settings app.  I tried pressing "Restore" in iTunes, which deleted all the data on the iPhone. When it started up again, it took me through some basic configuration steps, but none of the steps asked me if I want to restore the phone from an iCloud backup. The only thing close to this was when it asked me if I want to backup to iCloud or my PC. I chose iCloud.  How can I force my iPhone to download all the data that was backed up to iCloud?  Update: according to , it says that I need to go through the setup assistant and choose to restore from iCloud. The problem is that the setup it took me through was the standard iOS 5 setup which just asks you to enable/disable services such as location and iCloud backup. It doesn't seem to be the same setup assistant that appears on brand new phones. So the question is how to force the setup assistant to show on a non-new phone.

I understand that you can completely "brick" (render unusuable) your iPhone by attempting to Jailbreak incorrectly.  Whether or not this is actually the case, is it possible to do the same with your Android phone?  Or is the nature of that operating system and the handsets such that you can always install a new ROM on it if everything goes pear-shaped?  I assume there could be a difference due to how closely the iPhone is tied to iTunes, compared to how independent Android phones seem.

After upgrading to iOS 9, I can't transfer purchases from my iPhone to iTunes. It happens to just start the process, then it finishes without transferring anything. However, I can still transfer purchases from my iPad with iOS 8.4 like before.   iPhone 5c, iOS 9 iTunes 12.3 MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display Mid 2014, OS X El Capitan   Apparently, not many people happen to use this "transfer purchases" feature so it didn't get any real attention. I used it a lot, I used to update my apps on my iPhone, transfer them to iTunes and updated my iPad apps using iTunes. Still, I can update my apps using iTunes and update apps on all my devices.

I have both an iPod touch and an iPhone (yes, redundant, I have my reasons), none of them are jailbroken. Some apps I own are installed on both devices, I would like to copy an app's save from one device onto the other. I know that there are apps for jailbroken devices to backup saves but I was wondering if there's a method that doesn't involve jalbreaking (by a third party PC/Mac tool, for example).  (Side note: I know that restoring one device's backup on the other device will transfer all the apps states but that will mean wiping the device completely)

I accidently set my husbands new iPhone 6 up under my back up. Now, when I receive texts he receives them too. Its making it appear that I have two phones. We share an iCloud account. Can I do a complete "erase all content and settings" to fix his phone? It won't deactivate his phone with Sprint?

I used to have an iPhone 4s and all the data from there is synced in my iTunes in my Mac. I just got an iPhone 5s yesterday and decided then to plug it to my iTunes. There was a welcome message and 2 options: whether to set up as new iPhone or set up as old iPhone (4s contents).  So to be able to make everything fast, I chose the latter, but then all the new photos in my iPhone 5s were deleted and were replaced with all the contents from my 4s. Is there any way I could retrieve it?

I've recently dug out an old iPhone to sell.  It has activation lock on it which is pretty normal. However, it's linked to an Apple account which has had its password changed since then. I've also removed it from the iCloud interface.  It now refuses to unlock with either my current password or the password I used then... :(  Is there anyway to reset this iphone without having to go through tech support?
