How to stop my sons apps (from his account) being downloaded to my iphone (on my account)

My son has his own account so he can download free apps, the problem is, these apps are being added to my iphone when I sync to itunes even though I am signed into my account. 
I thought apps downloaded to a specific account would only be availble if that device was associated with that account.  I checked his account settings and my iphone is not linked to his account.
Any help appreciated as I am sick of having to delete every bloody flappy app from my phone evertime I sync.
Thanks,
Jason

The trouble is I need automatic downloads on to sync apps etc between my phone and ipad.  What I don't get is why I am getting apps downloaded via my sons account when his account is not linked to my devices.
Confused.

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

    how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

    You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
    you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

    How can I delete an app from my account, not just from the iPad,  i want to delete some from "purchased apps", hopee you can help me

    Rudegar is correct - you cannot remove the app permanently from your account. There has been much discussion about this on the ASC site and many users have concerns for many different reasons. As suggested send feedback to Apple.
    But remember this - your account is a part of Apple's official and legal sales records. In the real world - you just cannot delete a record of sale - for accounting reasons and for legal reasons.

  • HT1414 how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    Which apps? The iPhone apps you have selected/purchased on the iPhone App Store thru iTunes?
    Or the apps installed on the Mac?
    For the first case, simply connect the phone, start up iTunes if it doesn't do so on its own accord, click on your phone's entry on the list in the left column, select the Summary tab to make sure all is well, then click on the Sync button on the bottom edge of the screen. If you want, you can click on the Apps tab and arrange your applications how you like them prior to the sync, too.
    If the second case, no can do. iPhone apps run on iPhones, Mac apps run on Macs.

  • I was trying to figure out how to stop my pinned apps from disappearing after I've shut-down my computer during storms. In the process of trying things I lost the Orange Firefox drop down box in the upper left corner. How do I get it back?

    Question 1 - How do I restore the Orange Firefox drop-down box that was originally at the top of the screen.
    Question 2 - How do I undo the last command I changed
    Question 3 - How do I prevent my pinned apps from disappearing. I have about 10 loaded and it's a pain to have to reload those several days a week. Seems to only happen if I shut down the computer.

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    *View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Right-click a toolbar).
    *Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    What do you mean with Question 2: ''How do I undo the last command I changed'' ?
    Which last command are you referring to?

  • How can i tranfert an app from my account to another ?

    i have a problem!
    I downoalded watsapp on my iphone with my account 3 months ago.
    then my father, with his new iphone, wanted whatsapp, but he doesn't have a credit card, so i decided to downolad the app with my account.
    now he has to update the app and the apple store requires my pass.
    how can i transfer the app in my father account??

    Understand frustration but one of the "requirements" of the iPhone is listed that an iTunes Store Account is required.  Remember every app, song, movie, etc they sell is for some person/company and thus they need to protect their copyrighted material.  Thus Apple has to help ensure that.

  • HT201322 On iPad how can I delete an app from iTunes account

    Of the years I have downloaded numerous apps on my iPad and iPhone.  Now I want to remove them from my devise and iTunes. How can I do that on my iPad?

    You can't currently permanently delete any item from your purchase history, you can delete an app from your iPad by pressing and holding an app, and you can select and delete them from the Apps part of your computer's iTunes so that they can't be synced back. Apart from that you can hide them as described on the page that you posted from so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading (hiding doesn't currently work directly on devices that are on iOS 6, though it should work via a computer's iTunes)

  • How do i fix the apps from the appstore being stuck in waiting when im downloading or uploading?

    Whenever i download and update an app from the appstore the app pops up on my homescreen blank and not downloading; saying "waiting"...
    I know my way around the iphone and i cant delete it by holding it and pressing x and tapping to restart or resume the download doesnt nothing... it just stays there, so please somebody help me.

    Try resetting your phone.  If it's still stuck on "waiting" download the update in iTunes on your computer and sync it to your iPhone.

  • How to stop previously open apps from reopening at startup?

    Several apps (not listed in User & Groups > (current user) > Login Items) are re-opening at startup.  I also leave un-checked the "Reopen windows when logging back in" setting.  Please help.

    First thing I did was:
    1. Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items (uncheck unwanted startup apps)
    2. Following infinite vortex's instructions:
    - quitting all your apps
    - navigate to Library folder (option clicking in the Go menu if necessary)
    HD > Library > Preferences (folder) > Find all occurances of files that start with com.apple.loginwindow  ... delete them. Restart immediately.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can anyone tell me why and how to stop my ipod touch from crashing and being so slow

    i need help!

    In the absence of more info, try these steps:
    Make sure iTunes is updated to the latest version
    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

    Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I  need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
    You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
    Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

    This was strange but has to do with how startup disk and nvram interact
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1795765
    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.

  • HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer.  However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers.  How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

    You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.
