I want to stop apps syncing to itunes - how do i do that

I chose to have the apps sync to itunes and my son has bought so many of them it has totally overwhelmed my mac - and I can't download any music because it is waiting in line ... I cant find a way to stop the apps synching - they are all in the app store anyway so I dont want them taking up space ... and want to reverse this ... can you advise how I do this ? Thanks Sonia

Nevermind I found the answer. It can't be done.

  • I want to stop getting beta updates. How can I do that?

    I'm currently on the Firefox beta update channel. How can I move back to only released versions?

    That was easy! I downloaded Firefox ver 7.01, closed Firefox beta 8.0 and ran the install. It worked. Thanks.

  • When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore?

    When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.

    This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
    "OK - this is how it works:
    In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
    Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
    Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
    At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
    If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
    Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud!  (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
    Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
    After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After  you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
    Restoring from a backup can take some time.  The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data.  If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while.  The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad.  When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
    If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
    THANK YOU edgar999!!!!

  • I have a US itunes id but i live in india and want to download apps from indian itunes store also, how can i do that?? please suggest??

    I have a US itunes id but i live in india and want to download apps from indian itunes store also, how can i do that?? can itunes accounts be merged??  if i create another id on itunes India app store will i lose all my US store apps???
    please suggest??

    You can't transfer any content from one account to another account (nor can accounts be merged) - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
    Do you not have copies of all of your downloads e.g. on your computer or backup of your downloads/library ? Whilst you are in Australia you can't redownload your UK purchases (you have to be in a country to use its store), if you have them on your computer's iTunes library then you should be able to stream them from it to your Apple TV

  • So i redeemed my money onto itunes but i wanted to get a game from app store but my money is on itunes how do i get that money on app store?

    so i redeemed my money onto itunes but i wanted to get a game from app store but my money is on itunes how do i get that money on app store?

    Is this in the US store? How much is the credit that you have on your account? How much does the app cost?
    The US store prices do not include the local sales taxes added in the final steps of the sale. If you do not have enough credit to cover the total the system asks for a credit card to cover the remaining balance.

  • If I can buy apps on the iPhone 4, and then I want the same apps I bought it in the new iPhone that I have. Can or not?

    If I can buy apps on the iPhone 4, and then I want the same apps I bought it in the new iPhone that I have. Can or not?

    If the device has the same Apple ID signed onto the iTunes & App Store, then you can download any apps purchased under that Apple ID to that device.
    I thought you were asking about a game and game statistics being shared between two devices with two separate players. What I said about that is that if it is under the same ID, then the game is going to have the same statistics on both devices, and any updates to those would be reflected in both places. So, two different players wouldn't be able to have separeate statistics if they were playing under the same Apple ID.

    Hey ktillis88,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may be helpful:
    iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
    "Backups for appname cannot be turned off at this time."
    This message occurs if disabling Backup for an app on your iOS device does not complete successfully. Wait a few minutes and then attempt to disable Backup for the app again. If you continue to receive this alert, contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • When trying to update my ipad tp iOS8, i received a message that I must change my media sync settings.  How do I do that?

    When trying to upday\te my iPad to iOS8, i received a pop up saying that I must change my media sync settings.  How do I do that?

    This usually means you don't have enough storage on your iPad to do the update.  Go to Settings > General > About and check how much memory is available.  If you have less than 5GB you'll need to either delete data off your iPad, such as apps, photos, music, videos.
    OR
    Connect your iPad ot your computer and update iOS via iTunes sync.

    OK so I just made a wireless network and using the apple box or whatever. And I want to change the network name. How do I do that?

    Just want to confirm that I am also having this issue, The connection is fine, and it is in fact charging (@ 100%)
    Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
    I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
    earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
    So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
    In case this helps:
    OS: Windows 8.1
    iTunes version: 11.3.1.8
    Device: 5th generation iPod touch 16GB with ios 7
