I'll do it again and note exactly. Something about verifying restore with Apple.
I had a look around the 'net and everything I have found says that Apple has stopped signing/authorising iOS 7.1.2 and that downgrading is no longer possible.
However, I am sure I once did it on my iPhone a few years ago using some devious method. That was the 3GS, though.Quote:
Newer devices cannot be downgraded anymore.
iPhone 4S/5/5c/5c, iPad 2/3/4/Mini/Mini 2/Air, and iPod Touch 5th Gen – These devices cannot downgrade, because they rely on digitally-signed certificates from Apple and the hardware (A5+ chip) has not been hacked. Since Apple is no longer signing certificates for older versions of iOS, these devices cannot be downgraded.
One iOS 8 that is not working for me is audiobooks.
I download audiobooks from a library.
What has happened in the past is that after the download the files are marked as music and I change it to audiobook.
I find that now when I chNge it to audiobook it goes into a mad loop and will not play but does if I leave as music.
Any one else use the Overdrive utility to download library books to their ipad.

Just to add I used a different approach to move audio book to IPAD and it seems to have worked.
Instead of using the Overdrive app to transfer the library audiobook to my IPAD, as I have done in the past I first moved the book into iTunes on my MAC, converted it to a audiobook there and moved it via sync with my IPAD. I guess this is a more standard way of doing it. I thought you may not be able to do this as library books are protected, I am sure I have tried this before and ran in to the protection issue.

How do you tell iTunes to restore from a particular file?Quote:
