How do I disable transfer of purchases to my iPad when syncing?

Hello all. Let me preface this buy saying that I am an Apple software support person with over 15 years of experience (11 of that working for a Apple specialist).
Is there anyway to disable the automatic transfer of purchased items when syncing my iPad? I have looked around and no one seems to want to give an answer. They go on and on about how Apple wants you to transfer purchases and you really should let iTunes do this. I know all these things, but I am looking for an answer. Can this be turned off?
Thanks in advance for an answer (hopefully).
Kurt.

If you mean go to iTunes preferences and under the store setting, make sure the choices of always check for downloads is "unckecked", I have been through that already. Any other ideas?

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
Thanks.

I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted. But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
Have you looked at Capture One? It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

Do you not want a backup of the iTunes content on your computer in the event the iPad is lost, stolen, or simply fails?

If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

You do realize that only you see the photo associated with this correct - nobody else will see your photo - only you will.
You have to add the photo in the contacts app. Locate your vcard and tap Edit. Then tap the area where the photo will be located to add a photo. You can take a photo or choose one from your photos app.

HT1766 How do I listen to my music on my iPad when I am not connected to wifi?

How do I listen to my music on my iPad when I am not connected to wifi?

Describe more in detail what you mean.
Does the player start, look like the music is playing, but your hear nothing?
Does the player say it can't find any music?
Are you trying to use ear buds or the built-in speakers?
The fact that you say you can't play music when not connected to WiFi leads me to believe you have not really synced your iTunes library to your iPad but instead are playing your music from iCloud or from Home Sharing.

How do I transfer my purchases from my iPad to my new Mac iTunes?

So I recently bought my new MacBook Pro (Retina 15inch) for school. Over the years I have bought tons of movies and tv shows and a lot of music, and now I need all of my purchases on my computer. I've read some of the older discussions but none of them have worked for me. I need help transfering my old iTunes purchases from my iPad to iTunes on my computer. (I am already at school and do not have my old computer with me, so transfering from computer to computer isn't an option.)
