Why does ios 7 automatically update when connected to charger

I don't want to install ios7 but when I have connected my iphone 5 to the charger it had automatically started to download it, the only way I have found not to download it is to take it off charge, but I need to charge my phone and don't want to update it. How can I charge my phone without updating my phone to ios 7?? Someone please help, thank you

Full instructions to stop and delete automatic downloads are in my thread:

  • Why does 2nd gen iPad flash when connected to charger?

    2nd gen ipad will not charge - instead flashes when connected to charger

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again
    You can also try a different charger,cable and outlet and see if they are hte issue.
    Are you trying to charge via USB or plugged into the wall? If via USB, try charging with the included power block plugged into the wall

  • Why does iphone not light up when connected to power ?

    The power lock button on my iphone 5 is broken. I turned it off using assist feature. Now when I connect the phone through cable to the wall charger, it does not light up. I know the battery was about 70% when I turned it off. Any clues ?

  • Why does my macbook air work when connected to HDMI but not my iMac

    Hi. I have an HDTV, an HDMI cord, and a HDMI -> thundebolt adapter. I plug this in to my 2013 MBA and it works fine, but when I plug it into my iMac, nothing happens.
    Why?
    Do I need a DVI -> HDMI adapter (I already have one for my dual monitor, so it would only be 5$ for the adapter.
    Thanks for the help .

  • Why does it suggest an update when I already have the latest version installed, everyday.

    I get a notification saying that an update is available, every single day, even though the available "updated" version is the same as the version already installed. e.g. 16.0a2

    The Aurora development channel is suppose to only get updates whenever there are checkins and since there are checkins almost everyday, there are updates each of those days. The version number does not change.
    To tell whet build you have look at the build date in user agent or in '''about:buildconfig''' source link.
    edit: Looks like Aurora is now going with the dumb idea of no build date in UA that was only in Nightly channel before ever since move/merge of channels recently.
    You could even try testing the Beta channel where Firefox 15.0 is on as updates are every so often. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

    Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

    Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library.  For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

    Hi pa_tom,
    In your printers folder on your computer, is the default printer set to your printer, or your printer- fax?

    I have comcast email why is it not automatically updating on my phone and alerting me I received an email?  It only updates when I open the email folder.

    So I will just have to keep checking my mail folder?  That's crazy, I did not have a problem with my Android. Is there a way to get around this?  I have been waiting on an email alert and I keep forgetting to check my mail folder, this is very frustrating.
    Thank you for your help
