Re: How to stop automatic downloads of IOS updates?

Surrender.  Just choose to “Install tonight”.  It’ll update, but now you don’t 
have to be there to watch it happen, and get all angry about it.  It’ll all be 
over when you next look.  Apple wins.  Again.

The license agreement shows up just before it commences the install, so 
presumably you’ll just be asked again to accept it, just before the install, 
when you are next prompted.  It’s a nice thought though that Apple might 
considerately avoid asking you again if you should disagree.  But this is 
Apple, so, I’m not very optimistic about it.

Re: How to stop automatic downloads of IOS updates?

2016-01-24 Thread Donna Goodin 
That's an interesting idea.  So if you just caught it at the first announcement 
of the update and refused the terms, would it prevent the automatic download?  
It seems like that might actually work.  I'll suggest that my friend give it a 
try and report back.  That's a very creative solution! :)
Cheers,

Hello.

I have been thinking about this thread as I was talking to a friend who is on 
this list earlier on as he was helping me with my Draytech 330.  So my thought 
was you could not agree to the terms and conditions and then that may stop 
automatic download.

Re: How to stop automatic downloads of IOS updates?

2016-01-21 Thread Donna Goodin 
Hey Grant,

Sorry if my message sounded a little snarky.  That wasn't my intent at all.  I 
was very tired, and probably should have just gone to bed and responded to your 
message in the morning. :)

I agree that blocking all Apple domains is pretty drastic, I certainly wouldn't 
want to do it.  I think, though, that he's frustrated enough with Apple on this 
that he's going to do it as a matter of principle.  When I sent him the link, 
he said he had already blocked one of the domains, just didn't know about the 
second one.  Happily, he's very technologically savvy, so if he runs into 
trouble, he'll know how to unblock the domains.

I have to agree with him about Apple.  There are lots of reasons people might 
not want to upgrade, and they should have the option not to, without being 
pestered about it by their devices every day.  I've certainly learned something 
from all this, I will *never* have my cell carrier as my ISP. lol
Take care,
Donna

With all due respect, read the earlier messages in this thread.  The problem is 
that my friend's cellular provider is also his ISP.  He has a shared data pool 
for both wifi and cellular.  So theoretically, yes, he could run around the 
house every night turning wifi off on all his devices so that nothing ever 
downloaded, but that's a really dumb solution to a problem that wouldn't exist 
were Apple not trying to force people into something they didn't want to do.

Re: How to stop automatic downloads of IOS updates?

2016-01-19 Thread Grant 
I don't think iOS updates download over cellular networks, do they? I've always 
been advised that I need to connect to Wi-Fi to download a new version of iOS, 
even when I try to initiate the update myself. Therefore cellular data usage 
should not be a problem. As well, once the update finishes downloading it 
should show up under settings, general, storage and I cloud usage where it can 
be deleted. Once it is removed, it should not re-download.

I hope this helps somewhat!

 I'm actually posting this for a friend who lives in a rural area.  He has 
 lousy internet connectivity, and wants to stop automatic download of IOS 
 system updates.  anyone know of a way to do this?  The setting to disable 
 app downloads in iTunes?App Store settings only applies to purchased apps, 
 not to IOS upgrades.

Wow!  thanks for this, it was an entertaining, albeit exacerbating read.  :)  I 
mean, seriously.  If you don't want to download an update, why the  would 
you want to download it and let it take up all that space on your device?  I 
have to agree with the comments that talked about Apple losing sight of its 
original anti-big-brother philosophy.

Thanks for the link Sabahattin.

Hi Donna,

I regret that the answer you are looking for is, “You can’t.”

See this:
http://osxdaily.com/2016/01/04/stop-ios-software-update-notification/

Read all the comments too; fun stuff.

The best options you have are to either go to cellular full-time, leave the 
downloaded updates on the devices and simply keep ignoring them, or install a 
cache on the network that would at least prevent redundant downloading.  But as 
for the off switch that you seek, there is sadly none. :(

Re: How to stop automatic downloads of IOS updates?

2016-01-19 Thread Donna Goodin 
Hi Anne,

Thanks.  Unfortunately, the setting you're talking about only pertains to 
purchased content, not to IOS itself.  The problem that my friend is having is 
that his ISP is also his cell carrier, so whether he's on wifi or using 
cellular data, it all comes from the same pool, and he has a data cap.  There 
are approx six i-devices and Macs in his household, so the auto download of the 
operating system is chewing through his data.  I'm sure that to all those 
happily living in Cupertino, this seems like a ridiculous problem, and it is.  
But, there are a lot of people living in rural U.S.  with less than desirable 
connectivity.  It really seems to me that Apple should make not downloading a 
new IOS an option.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: How to stop automatic downloads of IOS updates?

2016-01-19 Thread Ricardo Walker 
Hi Donna,

I’m not sure there is a way to stop it all together. If its a poor cellular 
connectivity issue more than wifi/home broadband, your friend should try going 
into settings/cellular, and turning settings off. I believe this will prevent 
the update from being downloaded via cellular data at any rate.

RE: How to stop automatic downloads of IOS updates?

2016-01-19 Thread BBS 
Hi Donna. There is no setting to stop iOS updates. However, if your friend 
fills up his or her phone, there wouldn't be any room for the updates to 
download.

Subject: How to stop automatic downloads of IOS updates?

Hi all,

I'm actually posting this for a friend who lives in a rural area.  He has lousy 
internet connectivity, and wants to stop automatic download of IOS system 
updates.  anyone know of a way to do this?  The setting to disable app 
downloads in iTunes?App Store settings only applies to purchased apps, not to 
IOS upgrades. 
thanks,
Donna
