HT1848 how do i keep APPS from downloading automatically on my macbook pro

I know this is itunes 101, but I still don't know how to get all my music/movies on the cloud or thru internet without getting all the apps my kids download all the time -help! I havw a MacBook Pro.

If they are downloading from the store as opposed to copying over from devices when they are synced, then go into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and on the Store tab on that make sure that Apps (under the 'automatic downloads' heading) is 'off'

    They are not taking up storage space.  Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can.  This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
    It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

    How I can transfer some of my apps from I phone to my MacBook Pro?

    Start iTunes 11.1 or later on your MacBook Pro and connect your iPhone. Select your iPhone in iTunes and under General select Transfer purchases.
    That will create backups of your apps on your MacBook Pro. The apps will not run on your MacBook Pro though just in case you were wanting to do that. The Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro and the iOS on your iPhone are different operating systems.

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • Question: How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

    How do I sync contacts from my iPad to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks?

    Contacts sync via iCloud.
    Set up iCloud on your iPad and your MBP, with the same iCloud account on both, with the same Apple ID.
    On the Mac you set this up with System Preferences > iCloud, and have Contacts checked in the box on the right.
    It looks very much the same on the iPad, Settings > iCloud.
    If you have set this up and it's still not working, then sign out of and then back into your iCloud accounts.

  • How do I import photos from my iMac to my MacBook Pro ?

    Hello !
    I would like to import an album created in iPhoto from my iMac to my MacBook Pro.
    I would like the photos to appear exactly on my book as they are organized in my album on my iMac.
    Any suggestion/idea/advice would be more than Welcome !
    THANK You !

    Ah so the question really isn't about moving albums but how to restore something you deleted by mistake from one of your libraries.
    If you had actually asked that question then you probably would have gotten better and more to the point responses. In addition the need for backups would have been mentioned at some point.
    You got lucky this time. Being 'more careful next time' is really not a good backup stratergy
    You should take two things away from this, one ask the question that actually deals with your problem and two start a good backup program right now! Next time the trash might be empty.

  • How to stop Lion App from Downloading

    I just started downloading the Lion Os. I began to read the reviews and got worried so I paused the download on my macbook pro. I am not good with computers that is why I got a mac. I blindly got this app but I cannot take time to try to fix all the potential problems and changes. I don't need a refund I just need to avoid hassles. Please help.

    Click & hold on the Dock icon and you should see a pause option. Alternattively, Mac Apple Store->Purchases should show the DL status and give you an option to pause it. Finally, if it finishes DLing and starts the installer, just quit it. You have to actively choose to run the installer once it downloads to your /Applicatiions folder.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPad mini to my Macbook Pro?

    I have about 30GB of photos on my iPad mini (which were added from a SD card through the SDcard cord with the lightning cable end) and i am trying to take them off my iPad mini to free up space, but still need to keep the photos. I tried importing them through iPhoto on my Macbook Pro but it said all the files were corrupt. I tried putting them back through the SDcard cord onto an SDcard but that didnt work either. Is there any way to get these photos onto my Macbook Pro or even a USB stick? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    Image Capture is a built-in program and should be in your Applications folder, Aperture I bought from the Mac App Store.
    For Simple Transfer it's an iPad app, so you would download it on your iPad from the app store.
