Reverting to Prior iOS Version was RE: Question which I already made probably know the answer to, regarding reverting back iOS.
Jennifer, I've never rolled back an iOS version but someone posted a link to this list I believe in the past day or so where you could download the last iOS version before 7 was released. I assume it still works since the site still loads and here's the link: http://ipswdownloader.com/ The top of the page has the heading Download Firmware (IPSW) Files for iOS Devices. Just below this heading are three drop-down boxes where you select your Device, its Model, and its most recent firmware before iOS 7. I think the available choices in each box will vary based on the previous box selections. After making your selections in each of the three boxes, there is a download link just below the boxes where you can save the last iOS version file to your computer's hard disk. There is some further description below this link which discusses that your device will be reset to factory defaults and will lose all data and content upon doing a restore to a prior version. When one upgrades to a newer version, you don't lose anything if all goes to plan. You should therefore make a backup in iTunes to either your computer or iCloud or both before doing a restore. The restore is done from within iTunes but this is also described on the page at the above link. As I said, I have never done one of these but if you want to roll back from iOS 7, this appears to be the way to go. Maybe others who have actually done this in the past can comment further. Good luck.

Hi oh. I think I may already know the answer to this question, but just thought I'd check. There is not a way to switch from iOS 7 back to iOS 6, is there? There are just too many things that I do not like about iOS 7. I appreciate your response.
