    Downgrading iOS is not supported by Apple.

    The iTunes Application on a Computer is NOT the same as the iTunes App on an iDevice.

    Yes i have figured this out now. It's not fair that Apple dosnt let us do this anymore. I thought that once we bought the product we could do whatever we want with it. But I guess thats not the case.
