Hi. I have upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.4. After two days, the iPhone has had problems with the sound, so I want to downgrade it to the previous iOS 7.0.3. Could someone help me with that?
iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.4
Downgrading is not supported. this is been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.

I know that it is not supported by Apple, is there any magic way to do it?
No and any suggestion of discussing such options will get you moderated
No, there's no "magic" way to do it, either.
but this 7.0.4 is causing problems ,which cant be beared.
If you had saved the blobs then you might have had a chance.
But sorry you can't downgrade...Apple is clever than we think 🙂
Hi, Peter
I found an old post of yours regarding an ipod connectivity issue to your VW . Ufortunately I lost that discussion thread and I can no longer refer to it, hence this totally unrelated message.
Did you eventually manage to get your ipod to charge and play in your 2005 VW GOLF? I have a 2009 golf and the ipod connection inside the armrest appears to be a 30 pin ipod dock..I am planning to purchase an ipod touch nano (7th gen.) and I am a bit lost as to what cables I'll need to make sure it will both charge and play.
Can you advise, please? I believe that in theory I'll need a dock extender cable (cablejive) and then a 30 pin to lightening cable, then a 12 v to 5 v charger adaptor but I am not too sure about it...
Thank you.

It's not causing me any problems on any of my devices.
No idea to be honest however i have never had a VW ,Golf or any other .
BMW imprinted through me 😉
At a guess and from your description
Try the Apple lightning to 30 pin connector( genuine Apple only) and the nano will plug into that
I use a similar in one of the Beemers which has the BMW iPod kit and with that nano it works great

I'm also having problems due to the upgrade. I have hardware which was designed to connect to the iphone4 and it's no longer working due to the upgrade. The message reads 'this device is no longer supported'. Unfortunately the company no longer produces a similar device and no software update is possible. It's simply the IOS 7.1.2 which is blocking it. IOS 7.0.3 was working fine. I tried to downgrade to IOS 7.0.3 but itunes won't allow that.

Thats correct. As stated many months ago when the topic was first started going back to previous versions is something that Apple does not support. The problem is not due to the iOS upgrade but due the manufacturer of the hardware you have no longer supporting their products.
Clearly in terms of blame, you are wrong. Backward compatibility is essential in any upgrade.
I'm going right off Apple but Apple don't care because the current crop of management didn't build the company.
The first mac I had was in 1992 and like many other of Apples early adopters I was using it for graphic design. In the meantime I've had dozens of macs but as the years go by, the square minded and inflexible attitude of the company is pushing me towards other peoples products. It's disappointing but the quality of the products is going backwards too. I currently have 4 computers. 3 apple laptops and on samsung tablet. The tablet is probably the most useful of that lot and the most recent laptop is less reliable than the oldest.
That's my two cents but I'm sure you'll rant me into loving the company all over again.

Backward compatibility is not infinite. After a while, things stop being supported. To expect otherwise is to be endlessly disappointed and frustrated. And that is true of any computing platform.
Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
I could care less if you love company or not. Any search would have told you Apple does not support going back to previous versions so clearly the only reason you've replied to this year old thread is to troll. You have yourself a nice day.

Backwards compatibility is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the accessory. Apple provides to all developers the specifications for the upcoming iOS, long prior to public release. If the accessory manufacturer chooses not to provide relevant updates to maintain compatibility, that is their responsibility, not Apple's.
