How prevent Apple from WiFi-uploading iOS Updates

I am running iOS7 on my deveices and have disabled automatic updates.
Now I see that they misued my WiFi-connection twice to upload iOS 8 and 8.02. I know how to delete them but don't want to allow this misuse in the first place.
As owner of my devices I find this intrusive behavior impertinent and unacceptable.
How can I stop uploading unwelcome iOS updates against my will into the memory of my devices?

I configured all my iOS devices to sync with my MBP Retina (over wifi) - but the problem is that when I am using my MBA, the devices will also automatically connect to the MBA Itunes over wifi when I launch iTunes in the MBA.
Is there any way to prevent auto connection to the MBA?

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business! I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar. I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade. We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

How do I prevent users from being able to update Firmware

I have several users (14) with iPad 2 and they rely on an in-house developed App. we have yet to test this App on iOS 5.1 and therefore want to avoid any of the users updating the iPads at all cost!
this question is in two parts:
How can I prevent users from upgrading firmware themselves short of just asking nicely?
How can I stop the iPad from automatically downloading the Upgrade when I deploy a Policy using the iPhone Configuration Utility?
Any advice would be great!

We've been looking at the AirWatch mdm and have been told it has this capability. Not sure if it would be justified from an economic standpoint for you, however.

How can an iTunes Match user prevent songs from being uploaded to the iCloud?

Has anyone who is currently using iTunes Match found a way to prevent selected songs in their music library from being uploaded to the iCloud. I have a number of audio files that are hour long mixes, but aren't quite large enough to run afoul of the 200MB size limit. I'd like to keep using iTunes Match, but would like to prevent it from trying to upload any of these larger files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Another oddity I just discovered is that if I turn on wifi hotspot on my phone and connect my iMac to my phone's 3G service then iTunes on my iMac will stream music just fine from iTunes match (yes, the music was only in the cloud, not on my drive).
I've tried everything I can think of to get iTunes Match to play tracks over cellular.. including totally deauthorizing all my computers and devices, totally removing all tracks my itunes match in the cloud and re-scanning/uploading everything. Purchased new tracks, and they won't play unless they are downloaded. But they will play just fine when previeing them for purchase in iTunes app.

Cant connect to wifi since ios update

Once again following ios update I have lost the ability to connect to the internet via wifi!! i have tried every sort of restore going and is still not working, i am having to pay fpr mobile data in order to sue my ipad, how do i get this sorted and the cost of my data refunded , am seriously fed up with apple!!

Does it close immediately when opening or only when attempting to upload the files?
If the former, try downloading any new app (free or paid) from the app store.
If the later, contact whomever provides support for QuickOffice.

Can't connect to wifi after IOS update. Do you know a solution?

Loaded the new update and now it is sporatic connections with the wi fi. I have unplugged the router and all that, still no luck. It will work normally very briefly, but only briefly after I unplug the router, etc.
Do any of you have a solution to fix this?
Thank you!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

How can I push out an IOS update to 500 iPads?

I am responsible for 500+ iPads at my school and would like to push IOS updates to them.

There is no way to just go push ios updates remotely without a third party application, if that is what you meant. To update ios you have many options. You can go to each iPad and download the ios. Or show the students how to download the ios themselves. But if I were you I would get an iPad cart, and go to few classes a day, collect the iPads during that period and use apple configurator application to download the updated ios. Then give the iPads back. If you have any more question just give me your school e-mail address and I will help as best as I can.
-Hope this helps.

Utube wifi dropout - Will Apple fix this via IOS update?

Utube Wifi drop-out seems to be a common problem. My wifi connection on the new iPad is rock steady like the old, that is until I try Utube HD then it'is time for drop-outs galore and 'no connection' messages. Is this something Apple are going to fix?

This is a user to user technical help forum. No one here knows what Apple will do or will not do.
Reporting your problem to Apple support would be the thing to do.

HT201413 how to fix error 29 in ios update 5.0.1

my iphone 3gs was being updated to ios 5.0.1 from ios 4.1 and it showed an error iphone cannot be resolved and error 29.the iphone is hanged and is in recovery mode from then.

Dipti hello,
Sounds like the permissions are not set right.... do this and see what happens afterwards...
Check that your HD is in order with 'Disk Utility' ...
Run repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk...
insert disk and re-start holding down the 'c' key until you see the spinning gear.
At installer level do not continue...
Use top left menu and go 'Disk Utility' select your HD volume with the Operating system on...
select 1st aid... select repair Hard Disk.
if errors are repaired run again until none are reported then verify your HD.
quit and return to the Finder Do not continue with the Installer...
Check the permissions are set correct on the Apple installed software...
Use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities > select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions... if repairs are needed run again until none are repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit when finished.
Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
To set preferences using BatChmod is very easy...
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'command line in Terminal '
drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
then tick 'Apply ownership and priviledges'...'Unlock' & click Apply...
provide password... all done very quick...
let's know how you get on Dipti .... take care ... TP

I cannot turn on wifi after iOS update on my iphone 4s

I am experiencing the problem for two days. I followed all suggested steps and even restored my phone several times, didn't work out! The problems started as soon as I upgraded iOS.
I also tried to get help from live chat support and apparently I need to get it to service. However, since I purchesed my phone from US and now living in UK, I "should" send my phone to US to get the service which is basically impossible for me now.
I am not the only one who has this problem as seen from discussions and this is obviously an apple issue. I need urgent help!! There is no way for me to send my phone to US or go there either. And asking me such a thing by an international company like Apple is totally unacceptable!

What Apple says about this issue is that it happens "in rare instances"
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
What the heck Apple...can't you read a whole bunch of "Greyed Out" wifi problems posted in the communities and still you claim it happens in rare instances? This issue makes iPhone a dumb phone and not a smart phone anymore. If this issues is isolated, then not a hundred people should be experiencing this kind of problem. But no, I see lots of people with the same issue. And what does your Apple Care centers do, especially here in the Philippines? They say they cannot help those who beleived in Apple products and bought one. What these people can only say is that "sorry". The saddest part here is that, the problem in my iPhone 4S happened exactly a week after my warranty expired. Isn't that fun? This means iPhone hardwares only have a year of lifespan. #@$#%#@#$ after paying a huge amount of money, this is what Apple will give back to its customers. A bullcrap of aftersales experience.
I really hope Apple will look into this. After my experience, I am presonally campaigning my friends not to try Apple. Definitely Apple products are not money-worth.

How to stream from Iphoto app (ios) to ATV2

After spending nearly 2 hours going up the AppleCare chain (and everyone was very concerned and courteous), it seems to be that the new iPhoto 1.0 for iPhone won't show photos on an Apple TV-fitted HDTV through Airplay. It WOULD, however show the videos (only). The senior tech I last spoke to couldn't get it to show up on his TV with a 4S, either. There is no "airplay" icon anywhere, in the sharing space or elsewhere. Only if one turns it on by double-tapping the homescreen and then going all the way to the left can you select AppleTV, allowing videos to play in iPhoto (pretty darn counter-intuitive...). By contrast, Apple's own photo app and every other airplay-enabled app will work with my TV (I have the current Gen2 Apple TV and the brand-new software update). The tech sent this info up the line, but it sounds like there will be a software update coming soon...(always beware of anything that is 1.0- I should have followed my own advice;) Everything else about iPhoto seems to work fine. A huge download, but the potential is certainly there. But only if one can use one's Apple-TVd TV with it.

How prevent movie from loading completely before playing?

Hi,
how do I prevent an swf from loading completely before
starting to play in the browser? When simulating a download in the
Flash application, several preload stages work perfectly, but not
in the browser. Preload stages don't appear, instead it takes ages
for the 3.5 mb file to completely load before displaying the first
frame of the movie.
I have tried inversing the load order in export settings and
different flash versions, but just can't get it to work.
Can someone help? Thank you!

hi kglad
I thought it should be that way; the point is that I don't
want to add code that loads the entire movie before starting to
play the first frame, but only a certain number of frames (i.e. 11
out of 35, for example). I'm trying to do this with this code in
the first frame:
ifFrameLoaded (11) {
gotoAndPlay("start");
in the simulation, it works perfectly, but when uploading the
movie and viewing it in html, the entire thing loads, and the
preloader doesn't appear.
Many thanks for your help.

Apple tv probleme nach ios update

Hallo liebes Supportteam,
Wir nutzen verschiedene Apple TVs 3-Beamerkombinationen für Ausbildungszwecke und hatten damit bisher keine Probleme. Nach dem Update auf Ios 7... kommt es bisweilen zu Verbindungsabbrüchen oder das ATv zeigt gar kein Bild. Erst nach einem Neustart des IPads werden wieder Bilder auf dem Beamer angezeigt.
Heute nahmen wir ein nagelneues Apple TV in Betrieb (im Austausch gegen eines, bei dem gerade das Softwareupdate aufgespielt wurde) und das Bild war "verschneit" Die anderen ATv' zeigen am gleichen HDMI Kabel kein "verschneites" Bild??
Was ist da los? So macht die Arbeit jedenfalls keinen Spaß!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Iljakuriakin

It also has a micro USB port, it's quite small and easy to miss, it's right next to the HDMI port.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
