How do I stop multiple downloads of IOS 8 for each device

Hi There - I live in Fiji and for each apple device I am asked to download IOS 8 each time I want to update iphone x 2 and ipad x 2. Data is very expensive here and at 1.7gb it takes a considerable amount of time. Is there a way to use the version already downloaded? thanks

No, there is not.  The actual code differs for each different type of device you are downloading for.  You really need a separate version for each type of iPhone and separate again for each type of iPad.

  • How do I stop multiple downloads?

    I have a media center pc, hooked up to an Apple TV that I use for Movies and TV shows purchased from the iTunes store. Then, on my Mac Pro, whenever I check for iPhone App updates and the like, iTunes insists on downloading the TV Show/Movie onto my Mac. I don't want this to happen. Deleting the download only stops it for that one instance. As soon as I buy or update an App, iTunes starts downloading the TV Show/Movie again. How can I get the iTunes on my Mac to stop downloading the items I don't want downloaded onto it?
    This problem will increase as I plan to buy a Mac Book Air when the new ones come out and I don't want these huge files to have to download three times only to have to delete the file from the computers I don't want them on.

  • How do i stop automatic downloads of tv shows from other devices

    If i buy or download a tv show on another device such as apple tv or an ipad, how do i stop it from downloading automatically when i open up itunes in my IMAC?

    There is no way to designate one specific purchased item to not auto-download and remain in the cloud, but you can specify certain kinds of purchased items like videos, music, books, etc.
    In iTunes > Preferences > Store Preferences on your computer, make sure to uncheck "Always check for available downloads" and "Automatically download pre-orders".
    Initiate the purchase on a device other your computer. The simplest way would be to initiate the purchase on a Apple TV, as those purchases will now remain in the cloud and not auto-download to iTunes on your computer.

  • How can I stop multiple downloads of the same email from sympatico.ca?

    Sympatico email has been set up with POP enabled and Do What the App says when deleting downloaded messages.
    TBird Account has been set up with server settings Leave Messages On Server unchecked.
    Starting a month or so ago, a second copy of an email, already received in my Inbox, would be received about 5 or 10 minutes after the first. Starting this AM, I received a third copy of the same email.
    Thanks for any help - this is starting to get annoying!

  • In the lower right hand corner of the screen, how do I stop the download window from poping up each time I download something?

    In the lower right hand corner of my screen, everytime I download, a download window pops up, that scans what I downloaded for a virus then gives me a message that says download is complete. How do I disable that feature?.

    To turn off the alert you can change a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
    # If you want to stop Firefox requesting a virus scan, double click on the preference '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to change its value to '''false'''

  • How do I stop auto downloading?

    How do I stop automatic downloading of movies/tv shows?
    Every time I open itunes all my past media purchases automatically start to download.
    Preferences does not give the option to select/deselect movies/tv shoiws,
    Help me please!

    What are they downloading on (computer's iTunes, iOS device), and are they new purchases (e.g. did you have automatic downloads turned 'on' when bought them), or have you gone into the Purchased section and clicked/tapped on 'download all' ?
    In the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of a computer's iTunes, on the Music section there is a 'download all' button to download all your past music purchases (those that are still in the store and not hidden) ; and on an iOS device, in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app there is a 'download all songs' button

  • In search in Safari on my Ipad how do I stop multiple first letters typed

    In the search feature of Safari how do I stop multiple first letters from automatically being entered. Example if I entered an A as the first letter it enters automatically 3 A's, This is frustrating to always have to delete 2 of the letter A to be able to continue entering my Question or what ever I may be searching for? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    I don't know what you are getting multiple letters in the search (URL) field in Safari. If you get double caps or double letters when you type in the text area here in the ASC forum, that is because of a bug in the Jive Software that Apple utilizes to run the forum. There is nothing at all that you can do to fix that.
    If you really are getting double or triple letters in the URL field - that is the search field in Safari in iOS 8, try clearing Safari. Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data. Then reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • TS1424 i have purchiced a cd from the ituns store but it seems to keep downloading how do i stop this and get a refund for the extra cd

    I have downloaded a CD from the itunes store but it seems to keep downloading. how do i stop this and get a refund for the unwanted CD's

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • How do i stop a download when it is too slow?

    How do I stop a download when it is too slow?

    Solved my own problem:  Go to the sidebar on i Tunes to "Downloads" and click on this.  It will show current downloads.  Click on the download you wish to delete and then click on "delete" in the File menu.  You can also shift-click to delete a range of items.

  • I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick.  I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download.  In non technical terms please!

    How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro?  I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time.  I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

    I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade".  So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it?  I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download.  I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
    I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.
