HT2480 two devices on my itunes account, want different apps for each

I have two devices on my itunes account, an ipad I use for business and an iphone I use mostly for personal.  I want to keep only business apps on my ipad and most/all apps on my phone, but every time I try to sync, itunes tries to reinstall all of my apps regardless of device.
Does anyone have a solution for how I can have two devices with different selections of the apps I have paid for without downloading all of the apps to each device?  I tried just not syncing the ipad but then it had technical problems and the genius bar needed to delete a bunch of notes from the device, so that is sub-optimal.

You need to set both devices up in itunes to sync manually: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

  • Can i have two devices sharing one itunes account

    i currently have my iphone synced with my itunes account, i have just bought a ipod and want it to share the same itunes account, library etc, how do i do this without wiping it off my phone when ading the new ipod ??

    This won't be a problem, iTunes will see the new device as a separate device, it will have its own settings under iTunes, you can set it up to sync the same content or different content to the first device, it will have no effect on how the first device syncs with iTunes.

  • Can i use two devices with one itunes account?

    I share a laptop with my husband.  We have had "sync" issues in the past with his contacts and my contacts intermingling on our separate iPhones.  Can I create two different iTunes accounts for us to sync independently?  What should I do about this?  With the advent of iCloud, we're both going to be autosyncing...right???

  • Syncing two devices to same iTunes account

    Is it possible to sync two iPods to the same iTunes account? I have had a iPod Classic and just got a Shuffle and would like to use the same account for both devices.

    yes, but be careful because it has only one music library (i had) and all music from one ipod was automatically synchronized to another ipod

  • How can I have two devices with separate iTunes accounts on the same computer without sharing libraries?

    I have an iPhone 3s and my sister has an iPhone 3.  We use them only as iPods.  We each have our own iTunes account, but we have to share a computer.  How can we both syn our devices without sharing our music and app libraries?

    The most reliable way would be to set up individual user accounts in WIndows. Then each of your iTunes libraries will be completely separate.
    Regards.

  • Two devices, one apple id account, want to restore only one and sell

    When I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to my 4s, I activated it using the most recent backup file from my previous device. My old phone no longer has a carrier service, but is still recognized in itunes in respect to my apple id. I now want to sell the iPhone 4, and need to restore it to factory settings. How do I perform this task without affecting my current device, my 4s? I am inclined to assume that it will only remove the data/media from the 4, but I want to make sure I am correct before I unintentionally erase all of the info from both devices, which would very definitely cause me to have a stroke. Thanks in advance.

    You can erase the device. Make sure you remove it from Find my iPhone as well before you erase.

    I'm wanting to delete the 2 iPod touches off my account

    Then, on the device...

  • Two users on same itune account on different ios

    husband and I have i phones and have been streaming icloud library on same account--since ios 7.2 we can no longer use i  message--i has been suggested that it is a new security feature on the update --how can we both access our huge icloud library independently so that we can have i message working on our phones???  help!

    I'm not exactly clear what you are saying here. Is it that messages is not working at all and if so what happens when you try, or is it that you are both receiving each other's messages.

  • I had reached the maximum authorized devices under my iTune account. I am trying to deauthorize two but when I log to my iTune account it only give the option of deauthorize all

    I had reached the maximum authorized devices under my iTune account (5 devices). I am trying to deauthorize two but when I log to my iTune account it only give the option of deauthorize all which I don't want to do.

    To individually unauthorize devices, you need to go to them, either physically or through Virtual Network Computing, and use the Deauthorize this Computer command.

  • When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

    When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account? 

    Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

    Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
    Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again?  Is there some way around this?  I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
    Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand.  It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
    Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
    Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet?  Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

  • We lost access to are computers in the last two month and we want to know how to deauthorize two computers from the itunes account can you please help us?

    We lost access to are computers in the last two months and we want to know how to deauthorize two computers from the ituns account can you please help me please?

    If you don't have access to the computers to manually deauthorize them (they were sold, stolen, etc), then you have to log into your account, deauthorize all computers, and then re-authorize the machine(s) that you want to have access. This page explains how.

  • Can you have two iPads on one iTunes account?

    Can i add two iPads to one iTunes account and then move one to another iTunes account at a later date?

    I sync three different iDevices with one iTunes account/iTunes library on my Mac. You can select the exact content that you want to sync to each device by customizing the sync settings for each device.
    If you want to sync the iPad with another iTunes account or iTunes library at a later date - you will lose all of the content on the iPad from the old iTunes account. You can only sync with one iTunes library at a time and if you consider the iTunes account to be what is in your iTunes library - meaning content that you bought with one particular Apple ID - then you can only sync one account at a time as stated.
    Perhaps if you defined or explained exactly what you mean by iTunes account, this could be clarified a little more.
