Hi,
I need to downgrade 9.1 to 8.4.1. There's a lot of app not compatibles with 9.1 and I wonder to go back to 8.4.1. I've tried with ipws 8.4.1 but in Itunes give me a 3194 error. I saw that in some circunstances people modify hosts in Windows but it's not working for me. What can I do in this case ?
Thanks.
iPad 2, iOS 6.1, Icloud, ipad, imac
Cross our fingers.
For what it is worth, when a new yearly release comes out, like 9.0, apple has in the past allowed you to downgrade for about a week. The same happens to the previous point release.
I guess that means you upgrade asap or never.
see what versions are allowed:

If IT hasn't a work-around, you could start up another discussion with what the problem is. Perhaps someone will have a work-a-round.

I work at a university and they use Dell KACE K1000 Systems Management Appliance for the work orders. It worked fine until we upgraded to iOS 9. Now it doesn't. We need access to this to perform our job. The only other option is to purchase Windows tablets.
I'm very disappointed to know that. I think Apple buisness should change when this kind of situations arrives. If I had a profesional use I'd do more attention, but even so it's a missing of respect front of their clients. I hope a solution comes else I'm going to search other kind of products. Thnks.

Why didn’t you do any testing before updating? It’s standard practice for IT professionals. As for threatening to buy Windows tablets, go right ahead.
1) I am not IT. I am a user.
2) Yes, IT should have tested and let us know not to update.
3) Out here, we are human and mistakes are made from time to time.
4) For you and Apple to say NO! You went forward but you can't go back and we are not going to do anything to help is not good business practice.
Bottom line is we need this to work as it did before the update to do our job. With this attitude and policy you and Apple leave our IT dept. with no other choice but to go to another platform that does work. That is not a threat, it is reality. I don't like it but we need to be able to do our job and the iPad no longer works. I have no control over that. I was just hoping for a fix to get us back to where we were.
For the most part, we are non-paid volunteers. While I agree with you, I am a volunteer. Similar fiascoes have been reported before [ airplane pilots reported that ipads would not work with external gps devices in some release of 8.x ] and Apple did not budge. In release 9, apple did change to let corporate types control when a device would be updated.

Thank you for your response. I know most of you are volunteers and appreciate the help that you give.
I just got word from our IT dept. that they may have a work around and may know what the problem is. I hope this works.
Nothing. Downgrading is only possible when going from a beta or pulled iOS version to the last stable one, which is currently 9.1.
