Same apps appear on different devices without syncing

When I download apps to my iPhone they appear on my childrens iPod touches. When they download apps to their iPods they appear on my iPhone. The kids download through wi-fi. There is no syncing involved. All other questions on discussion board seem to involve syncing. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks

You need to turn off AutoDownloading.  On the iDevices go to Settings>Store and turn it off.  You can also go to iTunes>Preferences>Store and turn it off.

  • Can you transfer music from one app to the same app on a different device?

    I have an app called HCO playlist and it lets you download the current playlist and as the playlist changes you cant redownload the previous playlist but you keep the songs you downloaded and on my iPod 4th gen. I was wodering if there was anyway if i could transfer the songs from the app on my iPod to the same app on my iPad mini.

    Only if that app allows that option. There is nothing natively on the iPod to do that.

    If both accounts are authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync them to, and the relevant apps are on that computer, then you should be able to sync them to both devices. The apps will be tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them.
    If you log into the other account on a device and re-download its apps onto them then you risk tying the device to that account for 90 days (and similarly redownloading on a computer's iTunes) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad on the same apple account.  If I purchase the same album on both devices without syncing will I be charged twice?

    Yes. You're supposed to move it to the second device from the computer and not redownload it from the iTunes Store.

  • If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??

    If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device?? 
    I'm asking because I purchased an app with an id that has been cancelled so I cannot update that particular app. I can purchase the app with my new id but I don't want to do so if its going to erase all the data I have with the previous purchase...

    Figured it out. Thanks.

  • Different Devices Are Syncing

    Ok this is REALLY frustrating. 
    I have an iPad and an iPod touch.  My mom has an iPhone 4S.  My iPad and itouch are on the same Apple ID and everything is syncing and I do know that that is supposed to happen.  But my mom's iPhone isn't on the same ID or on the same iCloud account or whatever.  There is no reason why it should be syncing my notes, pictures, apps, and music to her phone from my iPad and iTouch but everything is on her phone.  Then when I try to delete any of the notes and other stuff from her phone they delete on my other devices.  Earlier today I lost 6 pages of my essay that was due in two days, and it isn't on any of my devices or saved to iCloud. 
    PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING!!!!!!

    I do not accept that your mother is not using the same Apple ID as yours for her icloud connection.  If her device is syncing all your stuff, then she does connect to the same icloud account.
    Now, an Apple ID is used to connect to an itunes account and the same ID or another one can be used to connect with icloud.  iTunes and iCloud are different services and each uses an Apple ID to establish the account.  Perhaps your mom is using a different ID to connect to iTunes.

  • Grey App Icon Appears.  Reboot and apps appear on different screens

    I've noticed a strange thing happening on my home screen.  Sometimes, and it seems when apps are automatically being updated, a gray app icon with a circle and an 'x' appears on my home screen.  It will not go away and you cannot select it.
    My home screen consists of 14 app icons, the rest of the screen is empty.  I do this to declutter my home screen. 
    When I reboot my phone, the grey icon is gone, but it fills up my home screen with other app icons from a different page.  When I move them back over to the second page so that only 14 apps appear again and the rest is empty space, I reboot my phone again, and it fills up the home page with more apps (different ones). 
    Is anybody else experiencing this issue?  I tried to take a screen print of the grey icon to post here on my iphone, but when I looked at the photo, it wasn't there (very strange). 
    What does this grey app icon represent? 
    Is this a bug in the software?

  • Is there a way to sync different apps on different devices without checking/unchecking everytime? Like an app playlist?

    Ok, title says most of it.  I'm dealing with only an iphone and a touch right now but another iphone is coming but all the goofy apps my son likes my wife doesn't want on her iphone.  Can you make playlists?

    It won't sync anything that you do not select.
    You do not have to select them each time.  Once you make your selections, they will not change unless you change them.

  • How to use one app on two different devices so the info is the same...not having to start from level 1 again on new device

    Hi there,
    I have an app which I have recently achieved level 16 on (stored on ipod 4)...I have just purchased an iphone4s and would like to download the app to my iphone to play on there so I can play it anytime and not just at home when connected to wifi. When I downloaded it to my iphone it started me from level 1 again so I deleted it off and have tried several different ways to install the info syned from ipod without success...if this is not possible please advise...however I have been successfull with other games in having them show on both. I am afraid to delete it off itunes as it says it will delete it off the ipod when next synced.
    Kind regards

    You're looking for something that's called a reverse web proxy.  That'll require some manual configuration within Apache, as it's not supported natively by Server.app tool.
    The other option is to have your "primary" host just fetch and display the web data from the other host — nothing requires the contents of a web page all be from the local host, after all.
    Another potential option is to configurre for and VPN into the network, and you can then access the network locally — this assumes you're the primary consumer of the reverse proxy, and not "the world".
    Related here and here and probably a few others; remember that the configuration files in Mavericks are located under /Library/Server/Web now.

  • How can I use the same Apple Id on two different devices without having to re-enter my payment details

    I have a Macbook Pro and an iPad2 which I sync to the Macbook. Sometimes I buy apps straight from the iPad and other times from the Macbook but each time I change from one to the other I have to re-enter my payment details. Can I set my account up to recognise that I may buy from both of these devices?

    Apple "verifies" your Apple ID account information with every purchase of all free or paid apps whether iOS devics or computers.
    Apple wants to make sure someone else hasn't compromised your account.

  • App Store forcing me to purchase same game twice on different devices

    I have an iPad and an iPhone.  Both are logged into the App Store with the same account.
    I purchased a game on my iPad, but I also want to play it on my iPhone when I don't have my iPad with me.  I was under the impression that purchases are tied to your account and not to your device.  However, when I search for the game in the App Store, it says it wants me to pay the game's full price again.
    How do I fix this?

    Robert, I have done your suggestion and the game is not there.
    To ensure I am using the same Apple ID, I have one to Settings > iTunes & App Store.  The Apple ID being used is the same.
    I suspect the problem is I recently changed the email associated with my Apple ID using appleid.apple.com.  I suspect there are bugs there.

  • Sync app results between different devices

    Hello,
    I have and iPodTouch and since some weeks an iPhone4. I already bought several apps like "cut the rope", "angry birds", ... and started playing them on the iPodTouch. Now I changed to the iPhone and like to take over the reached results of the different games. How can I do this?
    Is anybody there having an answer, I don't find one.
    Regards,
    Ralf

    I believe if you use IMAP for GMAIL, this will occur automatically ( in the account- specific  view, lower on the left hand side, in Mail).
    IMAP syncs folders automatically, regardless of the clinet machine type.
    The complication is that the main folders you see in MAIL are in fact "smart folders" that aggregate all your accounts. I'm nto sure how this maps to custom folders that you create.....

  • If i have put some paid application without jail breaking the iPad 1 from other system and i took a backup in iCloud , will ill be getting back the same app after restoring the device ?

    Please reply

    From what the other system ? If the apps were bought from Apple then as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them then you should be able to re-download them for free. They should also be part of the backup and restore during iOS 5 update
