Can I choose which apps to share?

I Have set up family sharing with my wife and kids. Is there a way that I can limit specific apps that I share with my son? I want my wife to be able to access all of my apps, but I would like to be able to specifically choose which app purchases I share with my son.

You can hide purchased as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases, but then your wife would lose access to them too. In your case, the only way to restrict content that others in the family can access is by setting restrictions on his device in Settings>General>Restrictions, which allows a limited set of restrictions such as movie and TV show ratings, explicit book content, app ratings, etc.

HT1386 Can you choose which apps you want to sync to a device?

I am trying to sync multiple ipads with one laptop and I don't want to copy certain apps from one to the other. Currently when I sync one then they both have the same content and we have to delete the ones we don't want. I would like to know if I can create a playlist or a folder to sync to then we only get the content we want?
Thanks and Merry Christmas

De-select the apps you don't want to sync in iTunes.

Can you choose which apps to sync

Hi, I can see that on iTunes you can tick videos and songs to select if you want them to sync or not, how do you do this with apps? There does not seem to be a tick box even if I put it in list view

Checkbox is to the left of app icons in the Apps tab:

HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad. I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe. In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.

Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small. What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

Can I choose which programs or apps upload data to iCloud?

My iCloud account tells me that my 5GB are full (that's right from the start when I updated the software to iOS5 :-S) Well, I noticed that there are actually just a few apps that I would want to make data backups for in iCloud. Can I choose which programs use that function? The only option I found so far is to turn the data backup function off or on, for ALL the apps. But I only want to use it for a FEW ones! Is this supported in iOS5??
PS. How come it gets full so quickly? The programs that uses most data (Hipstamatic for example) use only barely 0,5GB. So what I can see the 5GB shouldn't be full yet. What have I missed?

I think starting from the second home screen, the new app will be placed in the first available space. If this is the case, you would be able to control the placement manually by making sure your landing screen has empty icon slots and all previous screens, with the exception of the first one, have all of the icon slots occupied. I did run across an app that seemed like it would allow the user to create placeholder icons on the home screens but I can not think of the keywords to pull it up now. There are several icon creators/enhancers that may do the same thing. You can use one of these apps or use the Safari button to Add to Home Screen, to fill up the screens. You could even use a folder to store and deploy your screen filler icons. It seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth but I do have my home screens assigned for different roles. Hopefully Apple will continue to refine the user interface.

When sending from a mobile app, how can I choose which of my computers to open the document on?

I have a laptop and a desktop computer connected to creative cloud. How can I choose which machine to open up a document from my iOS app? I don't want it to open on both overtime I send something from my iOS device.

HT4865 Can I limit which apps I choose to have on the cloud, such as just calendar?

Can I limit which apps I choose to have on iCloud, such as just calendar?

Yes. In System Preferences>iCloud you can limit the data added to iCloud by checking only the data you wish to add (such as Calendars & Reminders). However, you will need OS X 10.7.5 or higher to use iCloud on your Mac (your profile indicates you have 10.5.5.)

How can I tell which apps were purchased on my account?

I did search for answers but couldn't find one that fit.
I have an iPhone and so does our son.
Early on my son purchased apps on my account and downloaded them on HIS iphone. Eventually, I got him his own iPhone account and so he has also purchsed apps on his own account and downloaded them on his phone.
When we open iTunes and connect his phone, there is a list of apps that are on his phone.
QUESTION
How can we tell which apps were purchased on HIS iTunes acct and which were purchased on MY iTunes acct?
I don't want to DO anything with the apps, I just want to know one from another.
Thanks in advance!!

How can I determine which computer a share is connected to in /Volumes from terminal or a script?

I run a set of virtual machines via Fusion on an iMac that we run automated tests on for our website. There is a folder on each VM called /Automation that is shared.
I have a python script that runs on the host, that will find an open VM, start it up and then mount the VM's /Automation folder. So if there is only 1 VM powered on, the folder shows up in /Volumes as /Volumes/Automation. The problem is when there are 2 or more VM's powered on, because then the shares start being named /Volumes/Automation-1 and Automation-2 etc. So my question is, how can I determine which computer each share belongs to from terminal or a script?
In other words, I'm looking for something like:
/Volumes/Automation = "FirstVirtualMachineName.local"
/Volumes/Automation-1 = "SecondVirtualMachineName.local"
Is there any way to determine which computer a mounted share is connected to? In the past, I've just unmounted all /Automation folders, and then mounted them in a particular order, but that's unreliable and messy in my opinion. If anyone knows a better way, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Well I think I have a workable solution. It's not perfect, but I think it will do the trick. I can put a spotlight comment on the folder similar to 'HostName=OSX-Automation-1.local' and can then retrieve that value from our server with the following python snippet:
import subprocess
out,err = subprocess.Popen(['osascript','-e','tell application \"Finder\" to get comment of \"Macintosh HD:Volumes:Automation-1\"'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE).communciate()
So I could just loop through each 'Automation*' folder in /Volumes and grab the name from the spotlight attributes on the directories. I don't think I really need to worry about the comments being overwritten, but I may have one of our launch daemons that run on the VM check that spotlight comment once a minute or something to ensure that the correct value is there.
If it ends up not working well in practice, I'm going to give your suggestion about a config script a shot. It would require a little more up front work, but seems as if it would be pretty solid after that.
Thanks again for helping me think it through

Can you see which apps are open and/or running like you can on an android phone by going to settings applications running services?

can you see which apps are open and/or running (like you can on an android phone by going to settings>applications>running services)?

Hi wjosten,
thank you for the help. I should have said I had a iphone 3. A friend has the same phone and she showed me how she can see what web pages are open when she double taps the home button. Mine is set to bring up favourites when I double tap (chosen from settings>general>home button).. BUT my choices are only HOME; SEARCH; PHONE FAVORITES; CAMERA or IPOD. I changed my choice to HOME but that just defeats the purpose as when I am at the home page and double tap nothing happens. Am I making sense?

Can you view which apps are being downloaded to iphone

Can you view which Apps are being downloaded to an iphone? Like a history?

Tap App Store > Updates (bottom icons on right)

IOS obviously allows only 10 Apps to be Chosen in The "Open in" function. How can I control which Apps ( if more than 10 are installed) can be selected?

iOS obviously allows only 10 Apps to be Chosen in The "Open in" function. How can I control which Apps ( if more than 10 are installed) can be selected?

I think that is influenced by the order in which the apps are installed on the iPad (I believe that it's the most recent 10 ?) - but as I haven't got more than 10 apps that support any document/file type I can't check.
If you want to able to edit the list, then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

you can't really, but you might be able to filter them by message content into folders for each, or color them with tags

Can I choose which applcations to transfer in Migration Assistant

I'm getting a new Mac. I like to pick and choose which applications to transfer, form the old Mac, to the new Mac.
It looks like Migration Assistant, give just an all, or nothing choice. Is there a way to choose which apps get transfered?

No. All apps or none. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889 for the details. I recommend migrating everything on first boot, using the Setup Assistant, then, after the process is over, selectively delete/uninstall unwanted ones. See Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.
