How to restore iPad Mini back to iOS7?

Asked By Jose K Vincent 60 points N/A Posted on - 02/25/2015

I have a iPad Mini and I updated it to iOS 8 few days back. I'm having a lot of compatibility issues and the device doesn't perform as it used to perform on iOS7. Is there a way I can restore my iPad Mini back to iOS7 so that I can enjoy using my iPad without any problem.

How to restore iPad Mini back to iOS7?

Hi Jose,

 

The below steps explain the downgrade procedure.

1 Power off your device.

2 Hold down the Home button and connect it to your PC. Continue to hold that button until you see a prompt to connect to iTunes. 

3 iTunes will show a pop-up identifying that there is a device in Recovery mode for which OK can be clicked.

4 Choose Restore iPad Mini.

5 Then, select Restore and Update.

6 Since iTunes which you are using now should be iOS 7.1.1, the most recent official firmware will be downloaded and rebooting is also initiated.

7 The downgrade is now completed to iOS 7.1.1

 

Regards,

Anyet
