Deactivate Sync between apple devices

Hello,
I have several Apple devices and I'd like to deactivate the automatic sync between them, eg: apps downloaded to my iPad will also appear in my iPhone; internet pages visited and opened in my iPad and MacBook Pro will also be available in my iPhone. Or, the iMessages received in my iPhone will be available in my iPad.
How can I deactivate this?
Thank you,
NeytiriLuna

On each device go to Settings/iTunes & App Store and turn off automatic downloads.
You can handle similar settings in Settings for each of the other apps.

How do you get your email to sync between apple devices? For example, I delete an email on iphone and it is still on ipad. I'd rather not have to delete things twice. Any suggestions?

Your email provider must offer IMAP accounts. Then in your email client select the type of account as IMAP rather than POP. Then in your email client enter your email provider's configuration for their outgoing IMAP server and their incomming IMAP server. Just like you did for their POP server.

You are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

How do you tweet between apple devices

My daughter says there's a separate tweet thing which lets you tweet free between apple devices.
I can't find it

It sound like you are refering to "iMessage," which is a iOS exclusive messaging service: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529

How is the easiest way to keep all music, playlists, etc. synced between all devices (computer, iPhone, iPad). Isn't there a way without connecting via usb or wifi?

As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

Account Lockout issue between Apple devices and Exchange 2003

I have been having an ongoing issue for a couple of months with a few different users Apple devices locking out their accounts in AD when they try to authenticate to ActiveSync. This doesn't happen every time they authenticate, it seems to be random,
while the rest of the time they have access to their email. It might occasionally happen with an Android, but not on a repetitive basis like this.
Primarily this has been four different iPads, running different versions of iOS, and an iPhone running the latest release of iOS 7. Other iPhones and iPads function without having the problem, including iPhones on iOS 7.
The user accounts in question are set to never have their passwords expire, but again, they aren't the only users that are set like this, and those other users, even with Apple devices are not having the same problem.
I used NetWrix to trace out the source machine, which is my Exchange 2003 server and times, and I've checked the W3SVC1 log file, and come up with the following as an example with identification details masked:
<internal IP>, <Domain\Username>, 4/30/2014, 8:10:04, W3SVC1, <ServerName>, <internal IP>, 15, 329, 3367926, 200, 0, GET, /exchange-oma/<[email protected]>/NON_IPM_SUBTREE/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/iPad/ApplV50462*****/eb53cd5d5b9fcf40****************-20ef44,
As I was typing this, the owner of the iPad from the log file above came by my desk, so I asked a couple more questions. He's never had another iPad, it's a gen 1, and he's never updated the iOS on it. I know one of the other iPads in question
has the most up to date iOS, and the other one is brand new, replacing one that was broken, but the owner of that one had the same issue on a 3 year old iOS.
There is nothing special about the user accounts, no special privileges or restrictions.
Has anyone encountered this before? Exchange 2003, Server 2003 in a 2008 domain. Promotion to the 2008 domain was 2 years ago.

Hi Brian,
I am so sorry for the delay.
Do you have any progress by now?
Since there are lots of devices which use user accounts to log on, failed logon attempts on these devices could be the cause for account lockout.
If this issue persists, I suggest you refer to these troubleshooting articles below:

New computer & syncing multiple apple devices without erasing

We've just got a new family PC and have about 7 Apple devices we manage with iTunes, I've read the support forum and do I really have to trash every device and copy data to/from it again so sync works with the new PC?
This seems like madness if this is the process, 300+GB of data off the devices then 300+GB of data back + all the other hassle thats bound to show up with old versions of apps etc. Just to be able to plug them into a new PC & sync.....
Who does this method help?
Surely a better way would be for iTunes to prompt you with a question about which library you want to keep or merge? ie the direction of sync. The current way is going to be time consuming & messy to get to a point which should be very easy.
The iTunes development team really need to rethink this as you can just about suffer this process with one device, but generally when people have bought one Apple device they get more,
I'm not going to do the process that is recommended, instead I'll create a virtualised copy of the old PC and use that every time we want to manage one the devices.
I only wanted to put a family video onto one of the iPads.....

Copy the library from the old computer, just as you need to do with all your own documents and data.
See this migrate iTunes library post.

Fotostream - PC sync to Apple Device not working !

Hello,
i configured my FotoStream as it was written in the FAQ of apple.com.
The problem is, that Picutres or Videos i add to the folder on my Windows Computer were not synced to my apple device ( i Phone, close future also iPad*late november *).
I did all i read in forums. Deinstall all, reconfigure, use default path, set Fotostream back via icloud.com. Nothing works. It is for me an Important feature so tell me what can i do, that the Pciture in the PC Dekstop Folder get synced. The way from iPhone to PC works perfect.
i read that iOS 6 is the problem. Is that true ? Under 5 it should work ?! If it is like that, when do will be a fix released.
Thank you very much.
Regards

Carddav syncing between apple contacts and google apps

I set up carddav syncing between my macbook's contacts app and google apps contact.
Now I got 2 accounts into contacts, a local one ("on my mac") and the google one.
There are 2 contacts groups, for when I open a card contacts tell me the contact is both on my mac and on google contacts.
The strangest thing is that when I set up carddav syncing between contacts and google apps automatically the iCloud contacts sycing got activated.
I try to deactivate it but then it goes on by itslef again.
My questions would be: can I get rid of the local group of contacts, I am not interested into? I just want one group of ontacts, the one which syncs with google apps. As a matter of fact, when viewing a contact with 2 cards, the contacts app merges the two card together and it's a mess, I cannot see modification from the server.
What is the point in having iCloud syncing on? I am not using it at all.
How does the syncing work? Is it sort of push or does it work every certain amount of time?
Thank you.

Try going to Settings>iCloud on your iPad, turn contacts off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud), then turn contacts on again and choose Merge when prompted. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure it's set to your iCloud account. Then add a test contact on your iPad and see if it syncs properly now.
