New ios device - prevent apps from automatically being downloaded

Hi.
I dont want any apps being automatically downloaded on a new iphone.  When ever I have previously signedin with my apple id on a new device, all my old app get downloaded.  This is a little annoying and slows down the device loads while it downloading 100+ app
Any help would be great.
Thanks
James

If i dont want old apps being downloaded but dont mind new apps syned is that possible?
Also - I will test and then mark this as answered.  Thanks again

  • We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer.  How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

    We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer.  How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

    Uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps to the device.
    Other than that, syncing is by device.
    Connect one device, tell iTunes what to sync, then sync.
    Connect second device, repeat.
    Connect third device, repeat.

  • I have 5 iOS devices sharing apps from 1 appstore account

    Hi,
    I wanna know if is possible to delete a device on my appstore account, because i have 5 devices sharing apps from the same account and i wanna buy another device and use the same account... I know the limit (5 devices) and i wanna delete 1 device. Could be possible?

    if they all use the same appleID then yes
    but it will also mean that all sms's go to all devices
    and facetime between them will not work

  • Is it possible to only stream music to a iOS device (iPad, iPhone) without it being downloaded?

    I Want to only stream my music to my devices as I don't want it downloaded and taking up space.

    Not possible. Music played is automatically downloaded to a temporary cache.

  • How do I prevent apps which I've downloaded to my iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch

    How do I prevent apps that I've downloaded to my Iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch.    Also how do I prevent apps which my kid has downloaded to her ipod touch from automatically downloading to my ipad/iphone when I connect to the computer.   I manage all through my same itunes account.

    When you connect a device to ITunes go to the Apps tab for that device and uncheck "Automatically sync new apps". You will have to do this for each device.

  • How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

    When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

  • Preventing Itunes from automatally synching

    I want to prevent itunes from automatically syching when I plug in my iPod. I have music on my Ipod that is not in my library and I understand that synching will cause music to be erased from the iPod.
    I went into EDIT, SETTINGS, DEVICES, and then checked the box "Prevent Automatic Synchronizing of ipods, iPhones, and iPads" and then clicked on "OK".
    THIS DID NOT WORK. When I plugged in my iPod, the device immediately said on the screen "synchronizing".
    What am I to do?

    After plugging in your ipod to your computer, click on it under devices. A summary screen comes up. Towards the bottom under options you can click on Manually sync. Uncheck the sync only.... box. Now it will not auto sync.

  • Hi,i want send sms to non ios devices using iMessage from my ipadmini cellular .how?

    .Hi,i want send sms to non ios devices using iMessage from my ipadmini cellular .if possible

    You can't do that through the Messages app. It can only do iMessage, and iMessages can only be sent to iOS devices.
    There are many SMS apps in the app store that may do what you want. Search the app store and try them out.

  • I just wanna buy a new iOS device and I'm confused between the iPod touch 5th generation, iPhone 4s 8GB, iPad 4th generation 16GB and iPad mini with the retina display 16GB model. Please help me figure out.

    I have an iPhone 4s 16GB Model and I've been using it for about more than an year now. The reason I wanna get a new iOS device is because my 4s has got lots of scratches now and it's ambient light sensor seems not to work properly. Apparently, another reason is that the iLife and iWork suit are not free for me as my device is older and new devices get those softwares for free.
    I thought to go with a new iPhone 4s again but the problem is that new 4s come with only 8GB of storage and they don't support AirDrop. So next, I thought to go with an iPod touch 5th gen because of its jaw-dropping design, bigger screen, more storage and AirDrop support. Because iPod touch is phone-less iPhone and they come at affordable price, I can also buy any cheap cell phone like moto e to replace my current iPhone 4S.
    Another options that I thought a little bit on, is iPad 4th Gen and iPad mini with Retina display 16GB.
    Now, should I just stick with my current 16GB iPhone 4s, or get a new one.
    Or should I buy an iPod touch 5th gen and moto e (since iPod can't make phone calls)
    Or should I go with one of the two iPad models that I aforementioned.
    Awaiting your valuable suggestions.
    Thank you!

    Found one on best buy
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Belkin+-+Grip+Neon+Glo+Case+for+Apple%26%23174%3B+iP od%26%23174%3B+touch+5th+Generation+-+Pink/1331013.p?id=1219050712926&skuId=1331 013
    by Belkin, so a place to start.
    They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.
    If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.

  • Is there a way to prevent apps from reopening on startup?

    I like to shut my computer down without closing each app but I don't want to have them all reopen on start up.
    Is there a way to prevent apps from reopening on startup without having to close them all before shutting down?
    I found the checkbox to prevent apps from opening in their previous state but they still open to their previous state after a restart.
    Thank you in advance,

    No.
    You can look this up yourself:
