Equally as bad is OSX. Decided to downgrade from El Capitan to Mountain Lion because I've a 2012 machine and my GPU blew under El Capitan. Now i can't access my iPad 2 Air because it's forcing me to upgrade iTunes and the only way to do that is to update back to El Capitan. I have to commit the dirtiest, skankiest, filthiest trick by using Windows to access my iPad now.

Can't you re-install from your original DVD?

  Provided there is an original DVD. Current machines do not come with one. My MBP originally came with Yosemite, but at the time it was delivered, El-Capitan was already out. So I thought, that it will be easier to update, while the machine is not customized yet. Now I don't know, how to downgrade. The Apple Store offers only El-Capitan for download, not Yosemite.

    Well you know, there are "bays" for that.

    The App Store should have your previous version under "Purchases". I have Mountain Lion and on in my list.

      Nope, only El-Capitan is there.

You don't need to connect to any device to update your iPad OTA updates have been standard for a reeeaaaallly long time now

  Yes, don't need to connect to update, but if you want to transfer music, movies, photos in bulk to the iPad that isn't on iCloud or whatever, then no joy.
