Is there a way to prevent apps DLed on my phone from being transferred to iTunes when I sync?

So here's my question: When I buy an app on my iPhone and sync to my computer, why does it transfer it to locally to my iTunes still, shouldn't it just be backed up in the could? And shouldn't this app get deleted locally from iTunes when I remove it from my phone? I just went through and deleted about 10GB of apps that have accumulated over the years from my computer, which weren't on my phone anymore. Seems like a big waste of space to even backup apps to the computer anymore, how can I prevent this?

in itunes, once your device is conected it will appear on the right hand side. click on it and then on the main window you can select at the top, apps, music movies, etc..
that's where you can customize you sync for that device, by checking unchecking boxes.
and this is only for that device. plug another and do the same. and another, and another, as many as you want.
hope it helped

Is there a way to prevent apps from reopening on startup?

I like to shut my computer down without closing each app but I don't want to have them all reopen on start up.
Is there a way to prevent apps from reopening on startup without having to close them all before shutting down?
I found the checkbox to prevent apps from opening in their previous state but they still open to their previous state after a restart.
Thank you in advance,

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. :(

There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
Best of luck.

Not if you set up very carefully what you want synced from your computer. Make sure you have not set things to sync automatically and manually choose the settings of what gets synced

There's some third party applications available. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked and can't slide to unlock it. Several of the icons are not working as well. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up or synced with another device?

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked (due to being dropped) and I can't slide to unlock it. Several of the the icons on screen will not work either. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up and never been synced with another device?

No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

Is there any way to prevent the right click context menu from combining Stop/Reload?

Is there any way (about:config tweak, or something) to prevent the right click context menu from combining Stop/Reload?
Screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://picsend.net/images/873089StupidReloadSto.png

I did try the add-on ''Menu Editor'' https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ but even when I separate the navigation reload and stop icons and explicitly have both stop and reload set to be visible on the right click context menu I only get the one option showing.
Whilst there may be some way of changing this I do not know how to and I do not really see any use case for making such a change. Only one option of the choice: stop or reload, is available at any instance in time, but that is the option you are able to use, the other option is not active and so is not displayed.

When using an Apple TV, any new device that logs on immediately takes over the display. Is there any way to prevent this and maintain the control from a designated device?

I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears. Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?

Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

My iphone was hit by a car, however the back is totally intact as well as the sim card. Is there a way for me to back up my phone to my computer/icloud, so when I get my new iPhone, I can sync all of my old data to it?

Need help with my broken iPhone4s. It was hit by a car, and I need to know how to back up my data to my computer/iCloud so when I get my new iPhone I can sync it to there and still have all my old data, such as contacts, photos, apps, etc.

If you had iCloud backup turned on, and it made a backup - yes. If you didn't have iCloud backup turned on - but were using iCloud for Contacts, calendars, etc. You will get the contacts and calendars, etc back.
Purchases made with your appleID can be redownloaded as long as they are still available in the iTunes store.
If you connected your phone to a computer with iTunes, there may be a backup on there as well.

Is there any way to remove App Store and iCloud Account from my Iphone without knowing passwords??

I dont know the icloud account passwords becouse i bought iphone from e friend.... Is there anyway to remove those Accounts so i can set up my account becose i cant install new apps without his password...

You cannot remove the iCloud account without the password if the iPhone is running iOS 7 (check under Settings > General > About > Version). You can sign out of the App Store under Settings > iTunes & App Stores. This part does not require their password.

I have iphone my daughter has ipod touch when she downloads app they end up on my phone is there a way to prevent this

If you are using the same user account on your computer that may be the problem. The iTunes settings will be different for each user account.

I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF file to my iPad, via a Hotmail email. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad in Mail already opended, as a picture on the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent it from auto open, so I can open with iBooks instead?

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF files to my iPad, via a Hotmail account. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad Mail account already opened at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent this auto-opening of the PDF. I've seen screen shots with the box, and PDF listed inside the box, but mine open automatically. I want to get them into iBooks...?

I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

Don't give them your password.

Is there a Way to lock apps or disable the home button?

I often allow my 16 month old to play toddler games on my iPhone. He knows how to slide his finger to unlock the phone and he loves pressing and holding the home button to activate Siri so he can talk to her! LOL! I am worried that he will accidently delete or move an app to another screen by accident so is there a way to prevent that from happening. Also while he plays his games, he likes to press the home button which closes him out of his game. Is there a way to disable the home button so he can just stay within his toddler games?

You can use Guide Access to restrict your child to using a single app. See:
