Hi michael emerald,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you would like to download your purchased content directly to your iPad and not have to go through iTunes to sync it. You can download individual purchases directly from the iPad using the Purchased section. Please use the attached article as a reference. 
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Have a great day,

  • HT1689 How can I stop multiple automatic downloads of the same item?

    Why does iTunes keep wanting to download the same item over and over again? How do I stop this without turning off the automatic download function.

    You may click on the "+" button to the right of the first multiple choice box to add more in the same line. When you hover over the button, the tooltip says "insert item beside".

  • How do I stop iTunes automatically downloading tunes onto my iPad each time I play them from iCloud?

    I am a new iPad user (IOS 7.0.2) but have used iTunes for many years on both an iPod and a PC. My iTunes library is in iCloud and I have also been using AirPlay to play music from my PC through my HiFi system with no problems. Now I have the iPad I can play music directly on it, and also use it to initiate playback through my audio system, as before. The problem is that whenever I use my iPad to do this iTunes (Match?) automatically downloads both purchased and pre-owned music onto the iPad, which I do not want to happen. Is there any way of stopping this happening? Also, like others I am finding the process of removing unwanted music from my iPad a real pain.

    Following discussions with Apple Support I now understand that iTunes / Match is not a streaming service in the strict sense in the iOS environment, and that in that music is always downloaded to the device when songs are played from iCloud. Furthermore, I now know also how to delete unwanted music stuff downloaded to my iPad: Settings -> General -> Usage -> Music -> Edit -> 'Red blob' on LHS -> Swipe from RHS -> Delete. Problem solved.

    If you are not able to find an 'unsubscribe' option, you can always sumbit a request to iTunes Support, as they are the ones who handle your account. They will respond to you via email to follow up until the issue is resolved. I have included a link to this form below.

  • I had Adobe Illustrator CS6 installed on an old computer. How can I install it on the computer I am now using?

    I do not have the hard disks for the software. It was downloaded via email.

    You will need your serial number to activate the software.  Check your Adobe account online if you didn't keep a record of it.

    Thanks -- none of the automatic download boxes were checked, but the "automatically download pre-orders" box was checked. I've unchecked everything on the Store tab preferences. Thanks for the tip, hopefully this will fix the problem.
    Thanks,

  • I preordered an album in error that is scheduled to download next week.  How do I stop it from downloading?  I no longer want to purchase it.

    I preordered an album in error that is scheduled to download next week.  How do I stop it from downloading?  I no longer want to purchase it.

    Downloading a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.
    I would contact iTunes if clicking on the link did not results in it downloading to your iPod.

  • How can i stop icloud from downloading all my photos onto my iphone 4s each time I sync. Then, how do I delete them from my phone, there are no delete options. I'm slowly going crazy.

    Hi iprover,
      Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
    Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
    This is what I gather.
    iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
    This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
    My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
    That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
    All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.
