How do I set my iTunes not to automatically sync my apps from my iPhone to my macbook?

everytime i connect my iphone to my macbook it attempts to sync my apps from the phone to my macbook and it's very annoying.

That's how syncing works, all content should be residing on your computer. If you don't want to sync then you need to switch and manually manage content, but I would do a backup first and make sure everything is on your PC first.
Now if you mean you don't want new apps to sync to your phone then just uncheck 'automatically sync new apps'

  • How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

    How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
    When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
    Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
    Thanks.

    File>Transfer Purchases
    You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device

    How do i sync my contacts from my iPhone with my macbook pro for messaging purposes?

    Hey dthompson2108, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    You can sync contacts between your iPhone and MacBook Pro using iCloud or iTunes.
    See this link for help with setting up iCloud on your computer and device(s):
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Instead of turning on iCloud on your iPhone and Mac, you can sync using iTunes as explained in this article: 
    Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    All the best,

  • How to I get my iPad to not receive text messages and apps from my iPhone?

    After doing the new software update on my phone, computer, and Ipad my Ipad has been linked directly to my phone. I have changed all setting so that it wont share of communicate but in the update process all saved data was removed from my IPAD I went back to Itunes and after the update to that all the backed up information was gone and the cloud didnt have any backed up information in it from the issues they had with the cloud in August. How do I get my Ipad to disconnect from my phone that it wont recieve text messages or anything else associated with my phone?

    You are probably going to have to sign out of/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start all over again and enable messages on the phone first so that the number is accessible again to use on the iPad in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. You need to be able to select your phone number in there.
    This kb article explains it in detail.

  • How do I set up my new iPad to get the pictures from my Iphone?

    I just got a new Ipad and have pictures on my Iphone 4s. Both have been set up to use the cloud for photo streaming. It doesn't appear to be working for the older pictures I have on my Iphone 4S. Any suggestions???
    Thanks so much.

    Dear Matt,
    Thanks so much for your quick answer. The problem is that my Macbook Pro does not have Iphoto 11 which is what I was lead to believe is required for the Icloud streaming to work on it. I thought I cloud would work on the Ipad and Iphone but just not stream the photos to my MBP. Does that make sense. And happy holidays...

  • Is there a way to sync my ical from my iphone to my macbook without logging in to itunes?

    I'm trying to sync my iphone ical with my work MacBook. I don't want to log into my itunes account because the computer isn't mine. Any way to do this? Will this work when the cloud is fully up and running?

    Yes, this is what iCloud is designed to do: of course you will have to sign into it, but you will probably be able to start an account with a different login from your iTunes one.

  • HT203421 How do I get iphone apps in the mac app store? Also, my apps from my iphone will not sync to my mac. Why is this?

    I've had my iphone 4 for a couple years, but I've recently purchased a new macbook air. For some reason, I do not have the option of syncing my apps from my iphone to itunes. I am currently running ios 6 on my phone, but I don't want to update until the apps are backed up to the computer. How do I resolve this? Also, is there a way to download and/or update iphone apps from the mac app store?

    Connect the iPhone and iTunes will open automatically. Then, go to iTunes menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases, and all the content downloaded from the App Store and the iTunes Store will be transferred to the MacBook. Note that in iTunes 11 you can choose the iPhone at the top right part of your iTunes window.
    The Mac App Store is used to download Mac OS X apps, and the App Store is used to download apps for iPod touch, iPad and iPhone. You can't download apps for iPhone from the Mac App Store. Instead, you can download them from iTunes or from the iPhone

  • How do I transfer apps FROM my iPhone 3gs TO my itunes library

    I want to sync the apps from my iphone to my itunes library.
    When I check the 'sync apps' box in the apps tab in itunes I get a warning that all of the apps on my iphone (3GS, just updated to iOS4)- about 50 apps - are going to be replaced by the apps in the library - 2 apps.
    Is there a way for me to transfer the apps from my iphone to the itunes library so when I sync them I wont lose all my apps?

    connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose +transfer purchases+ from the shortcut menu that appears.

  • Problems with syncing voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my PC via iTunes,

    It is not possible to sync voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my PC (Windows 7) using iTunes. everything else synchronizes well, except the voice memos. It used to work previously (same equipment), but now it doesn't anymore. What should I do ?

    What is making you feel that the voice memos are not syncing? Are you seeing a folder created in the Playlist area called Voice Memos? Some have reported this is not necessarily being created, but the voice memos are still located in the Music library. I'm not at my main computer right now, so I cannot see how they are listed in the music library, but I know they are there.

  • Can i transfer my apps from my Iphone to my mac book pro--if so how??

    can I transfer my apps from my Iphone to my macbook pro???
    If so How??

    Depends on what you're saying...do you mean use the apps from your iphone on your Mac?  That is a no.
    If you mean can you back up your apps via iTunes and store them on your Mac...then yes you can.
    The How?  Sync via iTunes.

  • I can't belive that I can not sync my photos from my Iphone to my computer

    why does itunes not let you sync both ways from your camera roll to your computer or from your photo albums to your computer. you mean the only way to get a photo off my Iphone is to e-mail it?

    I definitely agree that there should be some sort of option to synchronize your Camera Roll photos through iTunes. This, for one, would eliminate the issue of losing your photos when being forced to restore your iPhone, see my post below:

  • How Do I Set Up Itunes To Search For Songs In An External Hard Drive?

    I would like to keep my music on an external hard drive, how do I set up Itunes so that it goes right to that drive and folder when updating or the Itunes store placing the songs I purchase in the external drive?

    Ok, here's my deal. I backed up our old laptop onto an external drive. We got the new laptop and my wife bought a new iPod. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes onto the new computer and posted the questions above. I guess I need more help so here goes.
    Is there a way to use the library she had on the old laptop? I'm writing this on her behalf as she is basically technically ingorant and I am only slightly more knowledgeable but I know zero about iPods. Apparently she had her old library set up so some of the songs on her iPod we linked to the songs in my daughters iTunes folder? So.....is there a way to use the old library and if so, will it automatically find the mapping she set-up previously? If not, how do I go about getting this all sorted out? THANKS!!
