How can I roll back from iOS5 to iOS4?

Class action? Be serious.

There is no real technical reason shy restoring can't be allowed.

I was able to get from ios 5 and 5.1 back to 4.1 on my iphone 3gs.

They still signed 4.1. It's down to apple. They should provide a catch all signing of at least one 4.x distro of ios to allow people to at least get back to square one and have the product they originally bought;

minus the poor battery performance

minus the bugs

minus the annoying notifications

missing the lack of siri

missing the sluggishness and freezing.

yes people the next biggest thing is here and it blows ios 5 and 6 out of the water- it's called ios 4.

if apple could make one version of 4 available it would make ALL of these annoyed customers who are going elsewhere stick around.

simples!

not to mention the youtube and maps fiasco.......

Note of caution to anyone considering an upgrade to IOS 6... DON'T DO IT! AutoFill now no longer works on my ipad2. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4387627?start=15&tstart=0 A while back, I had backed up the iPad to iTunes (4.5?). Question: is it possibly to restore it back to 4.5 with an iTunes restore, if I'm now running ios6? Thx.

A word to everyone consideriing an upgrade to iOS 6...DO IT. My iPad 2 works flawlessly after upgrading.

Q: Does "AutoFill" work in your Safari? Has it always? I'm just trying to get mine functional again. From what I read, it was disabled on purpose due to a security issue. http://www.pcworld.com/article/201758/safari_browser_hack_reveals_autofill_secur ity_concerns.html

I don't use Safari, so I don't know. I use the Atomic Browser and I have no issues with Autofill.

It works! Good tip thanks. I spoke too soon about ios6 - especially compared to 5 (since I skipped that one). Probably a good idea from what I've read here.

Update: Atomic Browser autofill doesn't work for me after all - even after filling/saving each form line. Maybe the restore from itunes will help.

forgive my ignorance what is the option button I have to hold down???? I accidentally upgraded and now can't use my iphone
