    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    I believe this can be circumvented by forgetting all known networks (except for yours), then setting the Ask to Join Networks to OFF. This way, you would have to join any new networks manually (the pop-up asking you if you want to join a network is disabled). Just don't join any networks besides...

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    I thought I'd post an alternate method to prevent the iOS 7 update from downloading to your device in the first place (if it's already on the device, this won't help...you'll still have to remove it by restoring the device as new from the device itself as explained above). Somewhere in your...

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    Are you trying to backdate to iOS 6? If so, you cannot do it any more and you're now stuck with iOS 7. Apple stopped signing iOS 6 on or around Sept 21. Signing means that version of iOS is considered valid by Apple for the device. They usually stop signing the previous firmware a few days after...

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    An additional note for those who wish to remain at iOS 6 for numerous valid reasons. I've come up with a work-around to prevent the file from repeatedly being pushed to your device. You need to restore as new, thus wiping the iPad clean. This *MAY* work from a backup of your device as well (not...

    iOS 7.0.2 has been released...

    Thanks guys. My iPad 4 shows it as available. iPad 3 and mini likely have the update as well...not that I'm really interested in installing it, I mostly want to see if the full ~900 MB update has been automatically pushed to the iPad mini again & if so, if the 7.0 update is still sitting...

    iOS 7.0.2 has been released...

    For those that are running iOS 7.0.x, iOS 7.0.2 has been released, at least for the iPhone 5...I won't have access to any iPad models to check if they have the update as well (and will maybe cancel out the 7.0 update, forced, but not installed onto my iPad mini) until later today or tomorrow. Be...

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    This auto-pushed iOS 7 issue is has been brought to the attention of the media. CNET has a story on it. I'm glad I'm not alone. ;) http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57604701-37/ios-6-holdouts-complain-about-large-unwanted-ios-7-download/

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    I know that eventually, I'll update regardless of how I feel right now. True, it's not a device-breaking issue... IMO, it's the principle; by pushing this update file to the device without the user's knowledge nor permission along with no way to remove it under normal means (not being...

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    No, no kind of auto update is enabled on the device. The device (iPad mini) has NOT been updated to iOS 7 but the update file was pushed to it where it remains. The issue I (and others) have is that the update file was pushed to our devices without our intervention nor permission. The update...

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    Well, after all that, I just checked the mini a few minutes (from when I checked it this morning) and the update was *again* installed/transferred to the device. It was NOT connected to the PC but *was* connected to Wi-Fi and was on the charger. So it appears the only way to not get the forced...

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    If you want to stay at 6.x.x and want to restore the device, you can do so on the iPad itself under: Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will *keep the currently installed iOS version at the same version* but will of course wipe the device clean. If you try to restore...

    A warning for those wanting to remain at iOS 6.x.x

    I have made the decision to remain at iOS 6.x.x on all of my iDevices (at least for the time being). With that said, I just checked my iPad mini and noticed that the iOS 7 OTA update had somehow been conveniently pushed/downloaded to the mini without my authorization. Now instead of having a...

    will TPA work with iOS7?

    When someone has an idea, I jump on it and test it...that's my nature. I've been fooling with these things for over 30 years now and I'm always learning new stuff. I think I've mentioned that I'm usually the first one to jump in with the firmware updates/iOS updates/whatever updates. This time...

    will TPA work with iOS7?

    Well, enabling Airplane mode had no effect on Whirlwind stuttering on iPad 4 under iOS 6.1.3. Seems to be a pretty good work-around for iOS 7 though. Good find...maybe if I take the iOS 7 plunge (not very likely at this point), I'll have to use it.

    will TPA work with iOS7?

    Thanks DeeEff...I have all the same settings as you (as far as notifications, email, etc...it's theoretically doing *nothing* in the background) and I never thought of enabling Airplane mode. I want to see if this makes any difference as far as Whirlwind stuttering goes. I'll report back but as...

    What we have become

    Wow, I just checked and I've actually been here nearly a year (11 months). I thought it was much less than that. I guess it's as the saying goes, "Don't get old..." :(

    What we have become

    karl, can I join your old fart's club? If not, will you join mine? ;) I don't really know how it "was" since I'm a newcomer, but I'll admit that I do tend to go on about issue/bugs/inconsistencies/whatever. Seems like all I post here is about those things, but stuff like this is my nature. I'm...

    will TPA work with iOS7?

    Agreed. Please keep us posted on how it's performing...& if you can muster it, see how it does with the scrolling camera. I'm currently reading alot of hate for iOS 7 for those that upgraded (mainly at the Apple iPad discussion forums). Performance issues, and ALOT of dislike towards the new...
