How do I stop apps from syncing to all my devices?

I use a joint apple id with my wife and daughter for purchasing apps, but they both use a separte id for their cloud. We also sync over wifi now with the new ios5 update. But, since the update any time one of use downloads an app for the app store it automatically gets loaded on everyones iphone, whether the other 2 want that app or not. I do NOT have the automatically sync new apps box check in tunes for syncing. Is their anyway to stop this form occuring? 

Go to Settings>Store> and turn off Automatic Downloads for Apps.

    Open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences/Store/Automatic Downloads. Is your son's Apple ID listed there and any of the content check boxes marked?

    You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account.  Don't do that.

  • How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone?

    How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4 and at least 95% of the time I unlock it, some apps act as though they are reinstalling. It only lasts for about 3 seconds if that but it makes me feel like something is wrong with it. Does anyone else have this problem??

    Could you explain what you mean by this? What is happening that makes you think they're reinstalling?

    How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums when the artist has many collaborators on the different songs, for example Timbaland?  I want to just listen to the full album with all the songs, instead of having to play every song separately.

  • How do I stop apps from my iPad Air being downloaded to the iPhone4?

    If I download a game or app to my iPad Air in iOS8, why is it downloaded to my iPhone4 automatically when I sync through iTunes12 on my iMac. Have I somehow turned this auto match download? How do I stop this from happening? I only want what I download to the iPad Air, unless I manually decide to install it on the iPhone4 through iTunes12.
    jr

    With the settings changed on the iPhone4, why the iPad Air? I downloaded the apps to it. Then chose to delete them, which works. I just have to remember to delete them from iTunes12 eventually.

  • How do I stop Firefox from syncing to my iOS tablet

    i want to stop Firefox syncing with my iPad. Every time I use Firefox on my PC it messes up the bookmarks I have on iPad. The latest PC Firefox update wiped them out all together on the iPad! I am now fearful of using Firefox on the PC. How do I prevent this from happening in the future?

    Firefox Sync occasionally has problems with syncing bookmarks. That is most likely on a slow connection, or when there are a lot of changes. You should not become over-reliant on Sync's bookmarks and I would recommend always having manaul backup if you use Sync for that.
    Remember Sync will now only merge, there is no directional option. If you opt to Sync bookmarks it will try to make the pc & tablet listing identical. You may turn off Sync on the Tablet or just the bookmarks sync. See
