How do I disable software updates in iOS 6.1.3?

I wish software updates was a setting under the "Restrictions", the same was "Install Apps" is.  Is there a way to disable the button/badge for software updates?  I'm running iOS 6.1.3 right now and I don't want to change.

Once your device is already updated to iOS 7 you can no longer downgrade it from the previous version. If you have partially downloaded or it was just completed and prompting you to install if there will be option. Simply go to Gen>reset>erase all contents and settings. This will restore your device to its original factory settings activate your device using apple I'd via wifi or sync to iTunes using apple I'd.

  • How can I disable software update in the settings of our company iPad?

    Hi, Just need your help guys. How can I disable or hide the software update settings in our company's iPad? Our company don't want to update all the iPad fixed asset to our employee. Thanks.

    There are two files that ought to change when you set your preference:
    "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist"
    "/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.scheduler.plist"
    Try moving both of them out of the prefs folder. Then launch System Preferences and reset your preference to whatever you want (or uncheck the box altogether). See if that works. If it it does you will have to also reset your other System Prefs, since all will be returned to the default. If it doesn't do the trick, you can put the originals back and thus avoid the resetting.

  • HT4623 I can't install software Update for iOS 7.1.1. for iPad because I was forgot my password. How I can change my password?

    I can't install software Update for iOS 7.1.1. for iPad because I was forgot my password. How I can change my password?

    These are user to user forums. Apple does not participate here and does not respond to posts. For the record, since the iPad 2 supports iOS 8 any attempt to update the iPad 2 will result in an update to 8.1. Apple only supports updating to the latest version of the operating system that the device supports.

  • Ipad disabled after updating to ios 8

    I updated my ipad 2 to ios 8 and it asked for a password, I never had a lock on this device, I guessed the same one I have on my iPhone but that didn't work, now it is completely disabled.   I don't have iTunes and never plugged this iPad into a computer.
    Everything is pointing now to losing all my data, but I cannot!! there are pictures of my best friend that passed away in January, I cannot lose those!  I see lots of people are having this problem  PLEASE help me get my pictures. They are very dear to me.

    MeganTD,
    I completely understand how you feel.  This has happened to me as well when I updated to IOS 8 when it first came out and now I can't get into my Ipad.  The difference is that I actually had a passcode on it and just typed it in just like the million other times I did and it says that the passcode was "wrong."  I thought it was just a mistake so I did it again and it said it was "wrong again, please try in 15 minutes."  This went on for about a day and when I tried to login again with the passcode it completely locked me out to where it says to "connect to itunes" which I did but the Ipad doesn't show up unless I put it into recovery mode, which doesn't help either because I don't want to restore my Ipad until I back it up first. 
    I even took it to the apple store to the genius bar and explained my situation and they couldn't even help me, saying that unless you have a backup on your computer there is no way to recover your data on your ipad before restoring it.  I thought that was completely ridiculous that it wasn't my fault that the Ipad is disabled after updating to IOS 8 and that there is absolutely NO WAY of recovering your data.  I even asked if there was 3rd party software that could backup the ipad before recovering and they couldn't give me that information either. 
    I have been looking all around the internet for a solution but to no avail.  I hope there is some information out there that can help us because there has to be SOME WAY that you can get into your ipad and backup without having to rely just on itunes and icloud.

    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

    If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

  • How do I disable automatic updates?

    I am going to have to use Firefox version 28 forever, exposing myself to many security risks in the process, because I do not like the drastic redesign of the interface in version 29 and Mozilla have not included an option to switch to the old interface.
    Many support forum posts argue that bringing back the old interface is a 'simple' matter, but it is not. I have spent many hours on two PCs so far, fiddling with the recommended third-party add-ons (e.g. Classic Theme Restorer) in the attempt to get the browser looking the old way again. I can ascertain with confidence that it is NOT possible to get things looking exactly as they did before, and certainly not looking like the particular customized setup I had myself.
    I have now re-installed version 28, and intend to continue using it indefinitely. However, automatic updates are still enabled, and Firefox has already tried to update itself to version 29 again. How can I disable automatic updates for good? I have tried some tricks like deleting the update files and then removing the update URL in about:config, but a new update was still downloaded somehow.
    How can I nix automatic updates for good?

    Hi,
    It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.
    You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating:<br>
    app.update.auto - false<br>
    app.update.enabled - false<br>
    app.update.silent - false<br>

  • How do I disable Adobe Update??

    I need to know how to disable Adobe Update so it only runs when I want it to run. I saw that my i7-920 24gig machine was using 100% of cpu tonight.

When I checked system resources, I saw that it was adobe update that was using 99% of all the resources. I cant have this. Please tell me how I can disable adobe update from running without me initializing it.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • [SCCM 2012 R2] How SCCM 2012 handles Software Update Revisions?

    Hi All,
    There are a lot of questions regarding how SCCM 2012 handles Software Update Revisions.
    Does anyone know what happened if:
    Windows update publish some update with revision #1
    Same update downloaded and deployed via SCCM 2012
    Windows update publish same update with revision #2 or any newer revision
    What is happening with SCCM and already deployed and downloaded revision? How should I know what revision is really on my distribution points?
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,

    In WSUS Revision History is very simple:
    Where I can find revision history in SCCM??? (please do not mention dates):
    Possible scenario in SCCM:
    Windows update publish revision #1 for one update
    SCCM Download and Deploy same update and revision #1
    Windows update change revision to #2
    What SCCM does after this scenario?
    Auto update Distribution Points with new revision of already deployed and downloaded update?
    Clearly state in SCCM Console that there is new revision of already deployed and downloaded update and waiting for admin to act?
    Just update the revision in SCCM Console and leave old revision od Distribution Points?????
