STOP VERIZON SOFTWARE UPDATE POP UP

I want to turn off these stupid Verizon Software update pop ups. I have NO intention of allowing Verizon to put more crap on my phone that I don't want and definitely have no intentions of allowing them to remove things I put on the phone I PAID FULL PRICE FOR, off because they don't want them on there. I've heard nothing good about this latest update, and of course, Verizon has no real customer support so I have to turn to the community here to help me. So, if you can tell me how to turn off the notifications or stop the automatic updating, that would be great. If I have to root my phone, I'm okay with that, I just need to know how.
Thanks!

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 as your tagline suggests then you can only do the update via your computer's iTunes (you will need the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer).
To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
You can only update a device to the highest iOS version that it supports, which for an iPad 2 is iOS 7.0.6

How can I stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to 11.0.03?

Can anyone help with how to stop the software updater pop ups advising me to update to Reader 11.0.03? My antivirus advises the link in the pop up is unsafe, so I went to the Adobe website to update from Reader 9. The website doesn't offer X1, but did offer X, so I updated to 10.1.7.
Why is the site not offering a download for X1?
Even though I have updated to X I am still getting the pop ups for X1. I have attached a screen shot of the pop up - is this legitimate or some kind of scam carrying a virus?
Thanks.

There are literally thousands of sites with videos (linked to from yet thousands more) that will prompt you to "upgrade" or update your already updated Flash Player. This is the most common method of delivery for malware like that.
A friend who runs a PC Repair business told me that if you've updated your Flash Player and you see a warning in a web page that you need to download an update to watch a video, it's an attack site.
A simple gesture of holding your mouse over the warning or link, will indicate the address it points to. If it DOESN'T say Adobe anywhere in the beginning of the address (download.adobe.com, or adobe.com/downloads), it's a forgery, and you should leave that page immedaitely. If you download and install whatever they link you to, it may play the content you were looking for, but you've just been infected with something that may lay dormant for months and then suddenly take over your whole system.
If you use your PC for work, you're really in trouble.

Software updater pop ups invite me to download Reader X1 11.0.03 but website only provides Reader X

Hi, can anyone explain why software updater keeps giving annoying pop ups inviting me to update to Reader 11.0.03, but when I go to the website to download I am only provided with Reader X? I updated from Reader 9 to that but still keep on getting the pop ups. My antivirus also tells me the download link in the pop ups is unsafe and carries viruses. How can I get rid of these pop ups and/or update to X1?
Many thanks

It appears to have finally stopped popping up! If it returns I will take a screen shot. I did wonder if it was some kind of scam which is why I went to the website to update rather than via the link.

The software update of my Curve9360 has started automatically and is blocked at 9% since a very long time, while the blackberry is hot and I can't exit in any way. How can I stop the process?
I've tried to take off the battery, but when I put it inside and start the device, the screen appears always with the software update at 9%.
I've also tried to connect the blackberry to the PC to use the Desktop Manager, but the Desktop Manager can't connect to the Blackberry which is still at 9% of the process and is getting more and more hot!
HELP ME

"Unexpected Error" stops all software updates, except for non-mac downloads

Hello,
first of all i have tried to find answers to the question i have by searching through the forums. I searched for a couple days, but i have not found any answers as of yet.
When i go to download anything from software update the download will complete and as it is being installed it will stop and say that "the update 'blah-blah-blah' cant be installed - sorry, an unexpected error occurred."
it then says that what was downloaded was moved to the trash and so on.
i have downloaded a couple updates by themselves manually and they will go all the way till the actual installization and then stop and say there was an error.
i am fairly new to macs and i really have no idea whats going on. i have downloaded various programs, such as AIM, and videos and they all worked fine.
if any one could help it would greatly be appreciated.
thank you very much for your time.

Try the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

New verizon software update?

Verizon just had a software update a few days to a week ago... is it my phone or the update? I'm droping calls - when I answer it the caller can't always hear me right away - it's sometimes hard to disconnect from a call..? Thank for your help,

Seems to be a Carrier problem which in your case is Verizon.
But to lessen the chance it is your iPhone you can Reset, Hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself. Ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone shut off and restart itself.

How can i stop the software update on iphone 4s

my software update is taking incredibly long and not moving along, how do i stop it and try again?

What app are you talking about?

Hi, My G4 powerbook has stopped receiving software updates.

For months then I go to the software update area, it searches and then says no updates available. I can't even update the software for itunes/iphone so now everything is ridiculously out of date and iphone and itunes desperately need updating. No error messages about disc space etc. Any ideas? I've had this laptop for years and it's never done this before. Thanks in advance

I get the same thing on all our G4s running Tiger, including a PowerBook. To me. that means that Apple has stopped updating Tiger and stopped doing harware updates for machines that are now over five years old.
I would not worry. All ours run fine. Think of it as you PB being "fully matured."

How do I stop the Software Update messages without updating my software?

I keep getting Software Update messages asking me to update to Firefox 30.0 for a security and stability update. I do not wish to update any time soon, and I am tired of constantly getting these messages. The only two options I'm given is to "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox". When I hit the "Ask Later" button, the message keeps coming back very regularly. I don't want the message to keep coming back and I don't want to update. Is there a way to stop these messages from coming to me without actually updating?
Thanks.

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select *Disk Utility.*
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
Click _*Repair Disk.*_
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
i was closing down my mac and a *software update started*
After you reach the desktop again - Software Update/Preferences/Scheduled Check - UNcheck "Download updates automatically."

Stop getting software update for printer I no longer have

I continue to receive software update notifications for a Cannon Inkjet printer that I replaced two years ago with an HP. I have deleted all Cannon software and applications I can find via spotlight. These notifications are embedded in the OS X notification "update available." How do I get rid of them?

Have you checked System Preferences > Printers & Scanners to make sure the Canon printer is removed? If not, remove it.
If the printer does not appear in (1) above, reset the printing system.
OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system
