You cannot downgrade from iOS 6. It isn't supported. There are a few YouTube apps in the App Store. I downloaded the iPhone YouTube app.

oh ok wow tht ***** only if i knew i wouldnt get siri :/
I just downgraded my iPhone 4 from iOS 6 to 5.1.1 so the following instructions work.
An A4 device is downgradable (e.g. the iPhone 4 (not 4S)). A few others too. Refer: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/31869383801/blob-o-riffic
Download the iOS 5.1.1 IPSW file from apple.com. This site has direct links: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750
For my iPhone 4 GSM, I downloaded from here: http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS5.1.1/041-4293.20120427.3DRyb/iPhone3,1_5.1.1_9B206 _Restore.ipsw
Put the iPhone into DFU mode so you can do an iTunes firmware restore. Instructions at: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
Excerpt:
1. Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your computer.
2. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
3. After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. The iPhone screen will remain black.
4. It may take a few attempts to get your iPhone into DFU mode. Generally, I hold down both buttons then release the Home button just before I think the Apple logo would appear. If you are still holding both buttons down and you see the Apple logo you are holding them down for too long!
Restore the IPSW file onto your phone (effectively downgrading back to 5.1.1):
In iTunes, hold down Shift (or Option?) key and select Restore. Then you can browse to the IPSW file to use to restore.
P.S. I will consider upgrading when I can have google maps back.
Thanks for this! So which 5.1.1 firmware restore would an iPhone 4 (not 4S) on the At&t network in the USA be?
Thanks,
For my iPhone 4 (not 4S), on AT&T in USA, the correct firmware for 5.1.1 is this:
http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS5.1.1/041-4293.20120427.3DRyb/iPhone3,1_5.1.1_9B206 _Restore.ipsw
BTW, I suspect you don't need to put the iPhone into DFU mode to do the Restore of the IPSW file, but that is what I did.
Very happy to have functional subway directions again.
Thank you for your detailed instructions.
Do these steps apply to the IPAD or only the iphone?
The only device you reference is the iphone but the question was about the ipad.
Please clarify, thanks
Ah, yes, I see that now. You're right, the original post asked about the iPad 2.
While I have not downgrade an iPad 2 myself (from iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1), refer to this thread (URL below), where Mgurka reports to have successfully downgraded an iPad 2 using this exact procedure. Also, mikethuyle reports to have successfully downgrade an iPhone 4S.
