How do I delete auto download of ios7

I found a solution from a Chinese website called WeIphone (http://www.weiphone.com/)
Here is the original Chinese version if you are interested: http://bbs.weiphone.com/read-htm-tid-7022768.html
Now I will try to retell the solution for those who prefers English:
Notice: This guide is for those who still have iOS 6 running on their devices and only want to delete the update file for iOS 7 automatically downloaded. For those who have already updated their devices to iOS 7 and want to downgrade to iOS 6, this guide will probably be useless.
Part 1. How to prevent iOS 7 from being downloaded automatically:
If your device has already downloaded iOS 7 automatically, please skip this part and read part 2.
Method A: Keep free space on your iPad / iPhone below 3.1GB all the time. You can do this by installing some large games or keep some music / films.
Method B:With your device unplugged from power, connect to WIFI and open Settings->General->Software Update. Now your device will try to find whether there is new update or not. After a few minutes, there will be a notice of new update (currently is iOS 7.0.2) and a button says "Download and Install". DO NOT press it. Now you can use your device as usual. As long as you check the update manually, it won't download it automatically. It's wired, but it works.
Part 2. Delete iOS 7 firmware downloaded automatically:
Method A: If you have backup in iTunes, recover it. (I didn't test this method, so it's on your own risk.)
Method B: Open Settings->General->Software Update, Click "Install Now". There will be a prompt says "Verifying update...", Wait until this prompt disappear, there will be a spinning wheel on the black background. Immediately press and hold both of the power and home buttons at the same time. DO NOT release the power and home buttons for about 10 seconds. Your device will reboot. It's done. The automatically downloaded firmware will have been deleted. Now read part 1 to prevent automatically downloading in the future.
My new iPad (the 3rd generation, 16GB WIFI version) is running iOS 6.1.3 and automatically downloaded iOS 7.0.2, I tried Method B to delete it and succeed. However this is not an official method so there is no guarantee it will work for everyone, please use it at your own risk.

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

If you haven't installed it, control-click the Downloads icon on the Dock, choose Show in Finder or Open Downloads, select that item, throw it away, and empty the Trash. If it's a dmg, you may need to unmount that first.
If you've drag-installed an application, remove it as above.
If you've actually run an installer, find and use an uninstaller.

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

I have a "download error" of a purchased movie. How do I delete the download attempt?

I have a "download error" of a purchased movie that I was attempting to download to my iPad. How do I delete the download attempt? Since it has been there several weeks now, it is safe to assume it is not going to download to my iPad. I just want to get rid of it!

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

How do I delete a downloading movie?

Hello,
I tried to download a movie onto my ipad using itunes. However, I downloaded the HD movie instead of the SD one, so now i do not have enough storage space avaliable to actually download it. How do i delete the download so I can purchase the SD version? Thanks in advance!

See if you can tap on the download to pause it. Then try swiping across the progress bar to try to delete it. If you can't delete it, you may have to contact iTunes Store support in order to get out of this fix.

How do I delete the download button which is next to my home button?

You can use the Customize feature to move it to a less irritating location. I suggest the Add-on bar if you keep that displayed.
Start customizing with either of these, then drag the arrow to a new location, or into the dialog to remove from all bars:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
* tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Customize
You will notice that some of the combined controls split apart in the customize view. If you put anything between them, they won't be able to recombine. (For example, if you separate stop and reload, or put something between back/forward and the URL box.)

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.
Regards.

How can i resume the download of ios7 while im still connected to the wifi

Don't think so. At least during my wife's upgrade, she did over the air and we had to wait until it finished, to avoid any further issues. There was no "Cancel" button and I didn't want to spend much more time trying to fix it after turning the phone off...
