TS1702 How do I keep the iPad from installing apps that are on my Mac?

I have an iMac and an iPhone 5. My wife has an iPad and an iPhone 4S. We each use different apps. However, we notice that occassionally the iPad will install the apps I have on my iMac. How can I stop this from happening?

You can select the exact content that you want to sync each and every time that you sync if you want to do so. You can also turn off auto sync so that iTunes does not automatically sync without you having the opportunity to select what you want.
Connect the iPad (or the iPhone) to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Only click on apps that you want to sync. Uncheck the apps that you do not want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
You can turn off auto sync by launching iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Click OK. Quit iTunes.

It is recommended that most users not keep auto syncing turned off all of the time so that you do not forget to backup your device. I do not subscribe to that belief myself. Besides I have seen way too many users that claim to sync with iTunes or that use iCloud and they don't have a clue about what a backup is, where they can find it or what to do with it - if they even have one. Too many users get caught in the "This device has not been backed up with iCloud for three weeks message" because they don't have the sense to backup on a regular basis.
But I digress .... Sorry.

This might seem minor, but in Screen saver, how do you change the photos from your iPhoto that are those predetermined files on System Preferences?

I am trying to get new photos or images into the files (or whatever they are) on Screensaver that load when you screen saver becomes active. How exactly do you do that?

"If the screen saver doesn’t have an installer, drag it to /Library/Screen Savers at the top level of your internal disk. This makes the screen saver available to all users. If you want it available only to a specific user, drag it to the Library folder in that user’s home folder (the one with the user’s name)." was in the Installing and Uninstalling Screen Savers section.
A quick look around showed me that System (System/Library/Screen Savers) also holds some of the Apple images.

How do i keep my ipad from going to sleep during presentations

I'm using Evernote for notes during a presentation. How do I keep the iPad from going to sleep so I can read my notes?

Bey you have have an MS Exchange account on the iPad (through your work) and they are limiting the options you have (disabling 1, 3, 4 & Never).
Try this...
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select the Exchange account then set it Off.
Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and you should see all options.
Set it to what you want.
Then turn on the Exchange account.
The Auto-Lock settings should stay.
However, if you go back and view the Auto-Lock settings, it will change back toonly 2 and 5.

How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

How do I keep my iPad from switching back and forth from my Apple ID to my husbands Apple ID?

Your question confuses me because there is no way that the iPad can switch Apple ID's without user input. Where are you seeing evidence of this?
If you are seeing app updates that require your husbands ID, that's because those apps were purchased with his ID and will always require his ID and password for updates.
If you are seeing his ID elsewhere, explain....

How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?

How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?
Most of the time, my iPad does not maintain a connection to the interenet via my wifi router. My PC laptop has continuous connection, so I know it is not the internet connection.
Is there a way to trouble shoot this? Can I purchase a dedicated IP Address for my Ipad? This is beyond aggrevating since internet activity is the main reason I purchased the pad.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Poet Margo

I would suggest that you give Apple Tech Support a call and go over your settings under WI-FI and General Settings as well as your router settings etc.. There are all sorts of things I could tell you to try but this forum is not the best place to go over all the numerous settings that could be the issue. Just call them and they will walk you through the proper trouble shooting steps.

I created an album from photos taken off three different cameras. I am sorting the photos manually and when I close iPhoto, the photos move back either by date or by camera import time. How can I keep the photos from moving around?

If you're talking about closing running apps, they changed it up a bit from iOS6. Now you just double click the home button to bring up the running apps, side scroll to the app you want to close, then just swipe up.

How do I keep the screen from dimming in Front Row DVD Player

Nothing against the standard DVD Player program, but when I'm using the remote Front Row has more functionality. When I use it plugged in, there is no problem, but on battery power the screen auto-dims like normal and then brightens again and dims again...on and on. It proves to be very distracting.
Is there any way anybody knows to keep the screen from dimming like that while im in front row DVD player?
Newmac

Go to System Preferences > Energy Saver and change the time for screen dim in your prefs for battery operation. You can always change the setting back to the existing setting later, if you like.

If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.
