How to stop ipad copying apps onto computer?

Hi.
I downloaded an apps on itunes on my laptop. I then connected my ipad2 onto it in order to copy the app i downloaded onto the device. However, it keeps on copying all the apps on my ipad onto my  copmuter. Because I do not have enough disk space in my harddrive to store all the apps, so how can I copy the app I downloaded onto the ipad without having to copy all of the apps from it into the haddrive??? please help
thx

in iTunes with your iPad connected select your device then navigate to the Apps tab at the top and selecet only the apps you want to sync with your iPad.
Also, uncheck the box to automatically sync new apps.
That should do it.

  • How to stop iPad from transferring apps to Mac?

    First off, let me state that I have iCloud backups of the most important app data and I don't care that I don't have backups for the rest. I don't care that those apps might one day be gone from the App Store. I don't care about saving my game data.
    What I do care about is that I shouldn't be forced to have a backup of ALL the apps on my iPad/iPhone on my MBP, which didn't come with unlimited storage space.
    I think at one point I was asked by iTunes if I wanted to transfer the purchases to my Mac (or if I wanted to backup the apps? I don't remember) and I foolishly clicked yes. Now, even though I have clicked on "Rest Warnings" multiple times, iTunes still insists on copying all the apps to my Mac without asking me if I wanna do it.
    I saw some suggestions about creating empty folders and stuff but I don't wanna do that. It just doesn't make sense that Apple doesn't give us an option to NOT backup our apps to our Macs. I thought the point of having an App Store where you can download your purchases anytime you want is so that you don't have to keep everything on your Mac.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I hope you get a solution soon. I've been having this problem too. I under any circumstances don't want my apps on my computer either, I remember when I bought my first iPad iTunes used to have an option to choose whether or not to sync/transfer apps but now its gone and it drives me crazy everytime I want to transfer music. I remember this option was Under the tab "Apps" in the device and under the Apps list. It was a check box like the ones that the Music and other library syncing currently have. But i havent seen it in a while. Apple really screwed this up.

    This was part of the original thread you responded too but I have branched out your discussion to make it more specific.  This is already discussed under the Touch Apps FAQ - http://www.adobe.com/products/touchapps/faq.html.  Here is the relevant excerpt:
    Customers who sign up for an annual membership to Creative Cloud or who buy a 12-month prepaid card at a retailer or online store will be eligible for a free month of Creative Cloud when they purchase and sign in from three qualifying Adobe Touch Apps from Google Play or the Apple App Store. This includes Adobe Collage, Adobe Debut, Adobe Ideas, Adobe Kuler, Photoshop Touch, and Adobe Proto.
    Customers who purchase an annual membership directly from Adobe and qualify for this offer will not be charged for the month of service following sign-in from their third Adobe Touch App. 
    Customers who purchase a 12-month prepaid card from a retailer or online store and qualify for this offer will have one month added to the duration of their membership.
    Creative Cloud members will be notified about their free month within 60 days of signing in to their third qualifying Adobe Touch App

    To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
    To redownload iTunes purchases see:

    Did you have a Mac or PC previously?
    You can use the Migration Assistant to move your files easily: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    Otherwise, you can simply copy your old iTunes folder over to your new Mac. It should contain all of your previously purchased apps.

    This was strange but has to do with how startup disk and nvram interact

    I think your problems were solvable and not that the Sonnet card and 5,1 is not bootable, in fact the 5,1 is easier, there are more supported cards.
    I have the 1,1 where the Sonnet Pro is recommended but for data only and are not bootable because of the 32-bit EFI firmware. NOT the 4,1 and 5,1. The 2008's are problem child and have a mix of PCIe 1.1 slots, first implementation of EFI64 that also has problems. Also the 4,1 has two PCIe 2.x slots 3 and 4 that share a controller but that simply limits bandwidth.
    I would have left the TRIM support and NVRAM changes in Yosemite to a separate thread if you wanted to focus on the Sonnet Tempo Pro support in Mac Pro 2010-12 5,1s.
    Also the make of SSD can vary and they also have their own firmware as do bootable controllers along with the EFI of the Mac, all of which have to work together.  Meaning it might be that Samsung 840 va 840 EVO vs 840 Pro will all be slightly different but my experience is Samsungs work well (as do others like Crucial with the proper firmware - and there was/is an issue with the firmware of the Samsung 840 but not with booting).
    The PCIe card gets seen and treated as external and therefore 'eject' but of course you can't when it is the system boot drive.
    One thing I found last week and meant to mention:  After installing or changing PCIe cards, RESET SMC made all the difference in the world with the long boot delay. Some PCIe cards will add a few seconds, system has to search the device tree which now shows another controller with multiple devices - and sometimes NVRAM and SMC are what I will call "dirty" and need to be rebuilt and reset.

  • How to update my iPad's App use computer's iTunes

    My iPad have some app need to update, I can't get Wi-Fi, I only can use usb to computer, but I found the new iTurn can't find somewhere to update the app.
    Please tell me how to use computer's iTunes to update my iPad's App.
    Thank you!

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    If you haven't already downloaded the updates to your computer's iTunes then select the Apps part of your iTunes library and click the Check For Updates button at the bottom of it. When they've downloaded, select the iPad 'device' on the left-hand sidebar and on the right-hand side on the Apps tab click the Sync button at the bottom right of it - that should copy the updates over and onto your iPad

  • Syncing iPad-loaded Apps Onto iTunes; Loading Them to iPhone

    Problem: I'd like to move apps purchased on the iPad to iTunes, so that I can then load those (iPhone) apps onto the iPhone.
    Syncing the iPad to the iTunes computer doesn't seem to do it.
    ETA: iTunes is on a PC.
    Ideas?
    ETA Answer: In iTunes, right clicking on the iPad device, select "Transfer Purchases." That did the trick.

    If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app with your iPad, the app should be copied to your iTunes library the first time you sync your iPad with iTunes after doing so.
    If you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, with your iPad selected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. After this, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
    After transferring the apps to your iTunes library, the apps will be available under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to transfer selected apps to your iPhone. Select the apps you want installed on your iPhone followed by a sync.

  • How to stop adding " copy" to file names?

    First off, I don't mind the save as a copy feature. If I have a psd file with layers and smart objects and such, and I Save As > JPG, I don't want the jpg open, I want the psd open. I like how PS does that behavior, but I don't like how that jpg gets " copy" added to it's file name. Yes it's easy to remove, but I'm using a batch action on over 300 pictures, I don't feel like renaming 300 jpg's. Yes it's supposed to be a safety net, but I basically never work from jpg's as original's, and if for some reason I do, I set them as read only and copy the files off to a safe location, so I don't need it.
    I know it's possible because my old school's computers with photoshop CS5 never saved jpg's with copy in the file name. So, how do I stop PS CS5 from adding copy to my file names? Because I need photoshop to not add copy to my file names on my work computer (and it's my old school, can't use their computers or ask someone why it's like that).

    ikumajap's response made me realize the reason the "save as copy" is greyed out is because it has layers. So all you have to do is add a "flatten image" action first, then a new "save as jpg" that does not include the copy. I tried adding flatten to my old action but it still added "copy" so you do have to make a new save action. This, of course, will not alter your original file as long as you don't add a plain old save in there first.

  • Remove iphone/ipad/ipod apps form computer leaving them in the cloud

    How can I remove apps from my computer leaving them in the cloud and the devices?
    Thanks for your help!!

    I would not do that.
    If itunes stops carrying the app or the developer pulls it from the itunes store, then it will not be available in icloud.
    If you sync your ipod to your computer and the app is not on the computer, then it will be deleted from the iphone.
