But at least I can harass them again for another 2 years. I did call Apple Support, paid $59 for the privilege of telling them how stupid it is to not provide an easy backup/downgrade plan. I have one app that I was using fabric stash that now won't run because it required 3.1.3 My app data was only game high scores so I didn't really care. Apple has disabled it.ĭoing so is at your own risk and you will lose all application specific data. I can't get the 3.1.3 firmware to install. Here is how I've managed to downgrade my iPod Touch 2nd generation to 3.1.2 Any replies sent to this address are deleted automatically by the system. This message is sent from a send-only email account. I mentioned the numerous reports here and was told that unregulated forums are not considered important. The highest level person I spoke with had not had any other calls about the problem. They will only consider it an issue if they get Apple Support calls on it. If you think the consumer needs to have the ability to choose which version of firmware & SW to run and the ability to go back a version if something isn't working for you you have to call in to Apple. I have verified that there is no way for a consumer to downgrade the firmware in an iPod or iPhone unless you jailbreak it. I just got off the phone with Apple Customer Support.

Here is it in its entirety because the issue is important:įrom: Apple Discussions - Post Removed by HostĪpple removed your post on Apple Discussions, titled 'Apple Cust Serve response re iOS4,' because it contained the following:ĭiscussion of Apple Policies, Procedures or Decisions I tried to post in the Apple discussion forums as the rep said I should do to suggest that people call in and request changes and my message was rejected and pulled from the forum.

I called Apple Customer support and was told no option exists to do this at all.

Well Apple will not allow you to downgrade or go back a version in the firmware once you have upgraded. Now the first rule of any computer system is that you need to be able to recover to where you were before you changed stuff. The advantages of the OS are not worth the hassle but to add insult to injury I can't go back. The battery life is now less than 12 hours even with wifi off. Well I stupidly upgraded my iPod touch to the iOS4 system yesterday.
