How can i delete or remove a software update message?

I have an iPhone 4 S. I received the message to upgrade the Software from 7.2.1 to ios 8.1. But i will not do so. Now this message is always visible. How can I deet or remove this recommendation of Software upgrade?

I don't believe it's possible through any easy means. The only way I've done it is by restoring the device *as new*, not using a backup...the backup may in fact contain the update flag as well if you've made the backup with the update flag in place. If so, it will be restored to the device as well.
If you know you have a backup made *before the update flag was triggered*, you can restore using that backup and the flag should be gone.
However, after all is said and done and you actually *do* remove the update flag, it will again be pushed to the device unless you block Apple's update server from communicating with the device.

    "Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device."
    You only lose iCloud data from other devices if you manually delete the data. If you Erase all content and data, you keep iCloud data elsewhere.

    My Windows PC is running for several years, and after install and uninstall many hardwires on this PC, there're so many hidden uninstalled entries in my device manager (I can see them by enable the "show hidden devices" under the View menu).
    So how can I delete all of these removed devices at once with one application or command?

  • Can I delete the iPhone & iPod software updates in my Library folder?

    Under "iTunes" in my home "Library" folder, there is almost a Gig's worth of software updates for the iPhone and the iPod. Can I safely delete these? After all, the updates have been installed on my devices already. I'm surprised they're not automatically deleted, actually.

    The easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

  • How can you restore photos lost during software update on iTunes?

    How do you restore or even find photos lost during software update of iphone 4 on iTunes?

    Why did you not back it up before performing the update? Did you perform the update on a computer other than the one you normally sync with?
    As already stated, if you didn't back it up, the data is now gone.

  • How can i undo the latest ios7 software update for my iphone4? It completely screwed up my phone!

    I updated my iPhone 4 a few days ago to the latest operating system, iOS7. I've always proceed with the operating system updates because I assumed there were security fixes included as well as other fixes that were supposed to make the system run better. I haven't had any significant problems with updates in the past, except for some minor differences in appearance that didn't bother me.  This time but the update appears to have completely screwed up my phone.
    My first complaint is, where the **** did all of my apps go?? I paid for them, and now they're gone. Are they hiding in the iCloud? I had over 3 screens of apps, and now I've only got 1 screen.
    My second complaint is, what was wrong with the appearance of the interface and icons in the previous version? The new system has gone with opaque pastel-colered icons that, frankly, I don't like as much as the icons in the previous system.  And why does there have to be a gray band on the bottom row of icons?
    My third complaint is everthing else on the phone is screwed up. Nothing works like it did before. Most of the photos I had on my phone have disappeared (iCloud??) Granted, my complaints about the appearance may seem trivial, but this is really annoying.
    Can I reverse the iOS7 "downgrade" and go back to the good old days with the previous version when everything worked just fine and I was able to access all of my apps?

    You can delete books from the iBooks app on your iPad via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If you want to delete them from the Books part of your computer's iTunes library then select them and press the delete button on your computer's keyboard
    If you are wanting to permanently delete them from your purchase history then you can't, no item can be permanently deleted. All you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

  • How to delete a partial ios software update ?

    As we all know, ios 7 requires 3.1 GB free to download/ install.
    after deleting tons of stuff, I made 3.2 GB free and the ios 7 download commenced OTA
    as time went on, the download speed steadilly decreased so,after 1.5 hours, it was only 1/4 way downloaded and I had to go to work. as i left the house i lost wifi connection but figured it would just resume when i returned home.
    Now that I am home, the download still shows that its 1/4 through, but it says that i have to make 3.1GB free! The partial download has obviously taken up space, but theres nothing left to delete-  I need everything thats left.
    my question is- how do i delete this partially downloaded software update, so that 3.1GB will be free again? I have toggling airplane mode on and off again and also tried a hard reset, but the partial download still remains and is still taking up space. I looked in itunes app on the phone and checked downloads, but theres nothing there; prob because its not a music download
    thanks

    I should have said that there is now 2.8GB free, so the update must be 300Mb. I dont have enough rubbish to delete in order to gain 300Mb, which is why I need to delete the partial software download

  • How can i delete software component in the IR

    How can i delete software component in IR,when there are too many SCs?

    If you have to delete a SWCV, you have to delete all the namespaces with in that first. Open a name space and delete all the user defined objects in that first. Then delete the Std Fault and log data types and delete it and remove the name space from the SWCV by opening the SWCV and using - button on the name space. Now activate the changes. This will delete the name space.
    Repeat the step for all the name space with in the SWCV. After all objects are deleted. Open the SWCV and use the menu, SWCV ->Delete object.
