Hi..

when ipad's firmware changes , it may format its on-board storage if newer firmware conflicts with older one's file structure. To resolve this conflicts, ipad simply formats its internal storages and applies new features. I think that might happen to you too. If something lost in that way there is not much to do about it. Only way we can retrieve the data is by recovering Softwares though full recovery may not be possible.

That's why companies says always to backup important files before updating. If Anything went wrong during updating, all data on internal storage may at risk.

Downgrade iOS 12 to iOS app 11 on iPad mini no computer

Typically, Apple doesn't allow you to downgrade the iOS to a prior version. It may allow downgrading during the first week or two after an updated iOS version has been released. After that, you are stuck with the version you have ... eventually being forced to upgrade to a later version for compatibility.

How do you update your ipad 3 to iOs to 5.0

The iPad 3 can be updated to iOS 7. don't use your data bundle, unless you have a unlimited use every month. When you have WiFi, in the settings, click general, then second line update, click that oe and then install now.
When you have iTunes on your computer, connect the iPad. When iTunes starts, it will tell you it has new software for the iPad. Click the tab, download and install.
Itunes is free, the updates are free.

Be aware, update is always at least one version up. NEVER down.
So you won't be able to downgrade the iPad, since iOS 6 was installed. Lower versions, could be downgraded, bacaus you could reset to a low level, and put in a iOS version you should have already downloaded. (I saved most old versions, but they are model specific)

How do I uninstall IOS7 from my apple Ipad

Regret to inform you that the upgrades to IOS7 is non-revertible. by default as Apple has stopped signing the older versions. Once you have upgraded your device to IOS 7 you can not go back to the previous version. However there is a way which is non-recommended by apple but still its a tweak that work. If you still want to do it follow these steps:
Step 1: Download The Proper iOS 6 File
Step 2: Plug The Device Into Your Computer, Cancel The iTunes Automatic Sync Process (If It Starts)
Step 3: Do Not Put Your Device Into DFU Mode, Just Hit Restore
· To put your iPhone in DFU mode:
Hold down the home and power button for 10 seconds.
Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button for eight seconds.
This process sets up your phone automatically for a restore. It is not technically required to downgrade to iOS 6. At the same time, using DFU mode will not have any negative effect on restoring to iOS 6. You can use it if it makes you comfortable.
Once your iPhone is recognized by iTunes, simply hold the Alt/Option button on a Mac or the shift key on a Windows machine and click "Restore iPhone..." The option to choose the iOS6 .ipsw file will pop up, the same way it does when upgrading to iOS 7.
