How can I stop my iPhone from downloading iOS 7?

I am currently trying to download iOS 7 to my iPhone OTA. However, it seems to be stuck but rather than showing up that an error has occurred, it keeps trying to download. I would like it to stop trying but nothing works. I have tried switching it off and on again and hard reset but when I go back it keeps starting the download again. I'm aware that there are server issues so it may take a while but I would rather try getting it on my computer.
If anyone can help me

That seems a really obvious answer but I didn't think of it.
Thanks!

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from becoming a brick because it loses service.

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5, currently with iOS 8 GM, and the problem with my iPhone is after maybe 5 minutes of being locked, if you turn it on, it loses service, or drops down to 1 bar (circle) says "Searching..." Then after 30 seconds, I will get service again. It does this 9 out of 10 times I want to use my phone. But that part isn't the issue, the issue I'm having is, with iOS 8, if it loses service for a while, I get a "Activation Required" and I can't use my phone at all until I reactivate it. Not a problem if I'm around Wifi, it takes 4 seconds to activate it. BUT, I'm not always around wifi and I can't use Cellular Data to activate it. I get a "Could not reach activation servers" or something. So my question is, what can I do about this? Besides getting a new phone, I already preordered the iPhone 6, and that could take 2-6 weeks to replace this phone. Is there some setting that is blocking it from activating on Cellulor Data? Can I permittatly keep it activated? Anything that will stop the phone from becoming a brick 2-4 times a day.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ryan.

    I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...
    I just thought I missed a software setting that would block activating on Cellular Data or something similar to that.

  • How do i stop my iphone from downloading music from the icloud when its on shuffle

    Due to the limited space on my iphone, i only keep certain songs on it at one time. But when i play all music on shuffle, My iPhone is downloading songs from itunes match that i dont want. I only want the phone to shuffle through the songs already on my phone. When im out on 3G, it doesn't do it as i have music over 3G disabled in the settings, but at home on wifi, there doesn't seem to be a way to stop this happening. The other issue this causes, is that those songs then dont want to be deleted because they are not fully downloaded. Its a pain

    In Settings > Music set "show all music" to OFF (not green).

  • How can I stop my iPhone from changing appointment times when I move between time zone?

  • How can I stop a movie from downloading? There is no place to cancel it. It's been trying to download for 3 days and my iPad says there is not enough storage .

    How can I cancel a movie that has been trying to download for. 3 days?  When I click on ITunes ,it says I don't have enough space. I tried to buy more and it went to the iCloud.  Does anyone know how to cancel that movie?

    I'm sure that you know by now but buying iCloud storage didn't do you any good. iCloud storage is for backups, and can't be used for local storage and that is where you needed the storage.
    Have you tried deleting content on the iPad so that the download will resume? Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete movies, TV Shows, and apps in there via the Edit button. You can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Delete it now, and download it again later when you need it. Bear in mind that whe. You delete apps, you delete the data in the apps as well.
    You might be able to pause the movie download by going to the Downloads tab in iTunes - tap on the movie icon and see if it will pause. Or try swiping across the progress bar to see if you can delete the download.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from starting to play music in my pocket?

    Almost everytime I get my phone out of my pocket it's playing music! How do I stop it doing this it's always locked before it goes into my pocket.

    It should only do that if you hold down the T key at startup.  Otherwise the PRAM battery is probably near death, or the T key needs to be cleaned so it doesn't think it is being held down.  To clean the keyboard properly, you will probably need to bring it in for service.

  • How can i stop my iphone from allowing computers to download photos when connected?

    eg. if someone steals my phone and plug into there computer the windows photo download box pops up when connected and allows photos to be downloaded even with passcode. It doesnt make sence to me that if you try and get on my phone you cant look at anything, but connect it to a computer and it allows you to download all pictures and videos.
    Thanks

    What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from Losing space when I STREAM iTunes Movies?

    I mean, isn't the point of streaming so that I don't have to download the movie?  Even if the phone has to download the movie, why isn't there some option to delete the downloaded movie from phone to free up some space!?

    If you don't want the date and time updated automatically with your iPhone, you can turn this off at Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > Off.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from randomly, persistently, making a noise it should not be making?

    This has been happening for about 1-2 months.
    My iPhone makes a sound which is a normal iOS sound, but without any reason for it to be making the sound. It happens randomly, perhaps 1 day per week although when it happens it happens several times in the same day usually, even after quitting all apps / processes and restarting.
    As you can imagine it's not very easy to describe the sound.
    I do have a lot of apps, but there is free space and I'm rarely using more than Safari and/or Mail when it happens. Often it happens when I am just charging or not using the iPhone and there does not seem to be a correlation with power.
    I have tried restarting the springboard and I have tried restoring from prior states. I have also upgraded the software several times since the first time I had this problem. There are no other problems except for some freezing on occassion.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!!

    PS It's a Verizon iPhone 4, 16GB, with the most recent iOS and carrier settings installed, WiFi + 3G

    What's the sound?

  • How can I stop my iPhone from texting to an email address instead of a phone number? It is not an iMessage account.

    My phone will select an email (not an iMessage account) to send a text to instead of sending it to the phone number.  At times it lets me select one of the two but often does not. Especially in group messages.  Any suggestions? It is getting really annoying.

    I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...

  • How can I stop my iPhone from freezing?

    My friends iPhone keeps freezing, is there a way of preventing this form happening?

    If a reset doesn't help, try these steps as needed, as described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
    1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    3. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware problem in the phone.

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud
