As a rule, most of the instructions are written on the basis of experience, sometimes sad. So I recently ran into a problem - someone from my household clicked on "Download and install" updates, or answered positively to the request to update on the computer. Thus, a constantly pop-up request for an iOS update appeared on the tablet. For reference, I was flashed on iOS 9.3.3, and the system requires an update to 9.3.4, which I do not want to install yet.
The problem is that this request cannot be canceled in any way. If the updates have been downloaded to the tablet, then the system will update sooner or later, whether you like it or not. An update request can only be postponed, not canceled. A search on the net gave me one "recipe" - resetting the tablet to factory settings, which I hurried to use. After the reset, going to the "Software Update" section in the settings, I saw how the update was quickly downloaded again. The problem, to my great regret, has not disappeared anywhere.
The network gave out a lot more possible options, but some did not work, while others required a Jail, which, at the moment, I do not have. I will not torment you, friends, but I found a solution and for it you do not need to jailbreak or other drastic actions with the iPad.
How to prevent updates?
If, for whatever reason, you don't want to update to the next version of iOS, there are a few things you can do to prevent your tablet from updating randomly.
1. Don't run the update. The very first rule that you must remember is that the system will never update itself without your permission. Thus, do not click on the update either on the tablet itself or in iTunes, as the update process is almost irreversible.
2. Set a password on the tablet. This simple action will prevent accidental installation of the update, since before installing the update, you will be asked to enter a password.
3. Disable automatic updates on iPad. Follow the path: Settings -\u003e iTunes Store and the App Store. On the page that opens, opposite the "Updates" item, move the slider to the extreme left position. However, I want to warn you that in iOS there is no separate disabling of updates for the system and programs, and disabling this item will also affect automatic software updates. However, programs can also be updated manually.
4. Disable automatic updates in iTunes. When you connect your tablet to iTunes computer checks the Apple server for iOS updates. If updates are found, the tuna immediately offers to apply (update) them. To disable the update check, go to iTunes -\u003e Edit (on the menu bar) -\u003e Preferences. On the pop-up window, click the "Add-ons" tab. Uncheck the box opposite the line (at the very bottom of the tab) "Check for software updates automatically".
By following these simple rules, you will be able to control the update process and stay on the right iOS version.
How do I delete an update request?
If you do download updates to iPad, the system will require you to update. As I wrote above, in the usual way you cannot undo it. In other words, this process does not have a Cancel button.
But, despite the fatality of the situation, there are even two options for solving this problem.
Option number 1. To cancel an update, you need to delete the file of this update itself. As it turned out, you don't need to get into the jungle for this. file system, especially since it requires a jailbreak. Everything is much simpler. :)
We go along the path: Settings -\u003e General. On the page that opens, tap on the item "Using storage and iCloud".
On the page that opens, in the list of programs, we find "iOS 9.3.4" (or another similar file, depending on the relevance of the system) and tap it.
In the window that opens, tap "Delete update". At the request for confirmation of the action, we confirm the deletion.
After that, the update file will disappear from the list of the list of programs, and in the "Software update" section you will again see the "Download and install" update request. The tablet will no longer disturb you with an annoying update message.
Option number 2. The most drastic decision software problems tablet will help you with this problem. It's about flashing. But, here you need to make one reservation - this option will suit you if the previous (old) version of iOS is still signed by Apple. You can find out this information here (http://api.ineal.me/tss/status) or on thematic sites.
You need to reflash with the indication of the firmware file, which is pre-downloaded for your device. The link to the firmware can be found on our website: All iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch firmwares.
Naturally, before flashing, you need to do backup iPad data in iTunes and iCloud.
Friends, this instruction is universal and may be useful to you, say, when switching to iOS 10, or rather, unwillingness to switch to it. So, use it to your health!
P.S. Based on the results of our joint experience with readers, I want to make some clarifications to the article.
- The above methods really workbut are temporary. In other words, sooner or later, the firmware will download to your device via Wi-Fi. However, you can delete it again and get rid of the update offer. Fortunately, this action takes 10 - 15 seconds.
- The remote update is not downloaded again on devices with iOS8 and below.
- Since Apple has stopped signing old firmware (9.3.3, 9.3.4), you will not be able to upgrade to them. Thus, the advice with a flashing is relevant (as of September 2016), only for iOS 9.3.5 (and from September 13 and for iOS 10). If you want to stay for more old version systems, you cannot reflash! Please take this into account!
- To prevent iOS from downloading an update again, you need to block the addresses on the router: appldnld.apple.com, mesu.apple.com But, I want to warn you, if you are not versed in setting up a router, then it is better to entrust this process to a specialist. Naturally, the prohibition on updating will only be in effect in the zone of your "configured" router.
