Why are apps purchased on my iPod also downloading to my iPhone

We received a new iPad for Christmas and now every time we purchased an app on the iPad  it also starts downloading on my iPhone five. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

On you iPhone, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and under Automatic Downloads turn Apps to Off.  (Also turn Music and Books to Off if you don't want these to be automatically download either.)

  • Why are my purchased songs?

    Why are my purchased songs not showing up on my phone under Purchased?
    I downloaded one song yesterday from my phone and that showed up but I purchased and downloaded 4 songs today on my computer from iTunes and now they are now showing up.. WHY//////

    Not sure why this is happening and it is a pain. Once the Purchased list sorted by 'date added' go to the left most column and select the top - in my Purchased list the new items go to the bottom and I drag them back up to the top position.

  • Why are my contacts birthdays all two days out on my iPhone?

    Why are my contacts birthdays all two days out on my iPhone? They show as correct on my MacBook Pro and my iPad but not my phone. When i try and change them they revert back to being two days out.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Rob.
    Please try the following…
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

    People really have time to remove apps from the device everytime they sync?

    Yes, you can sync your iPhone just as you did your Touch and get the same songs, apps, video, etc.

  • I made an in app purchase, but it hasn't downloaded, I have tried to restore purchases and deleting and re-downloading it still with no luck, can anyone help?

    I made an in app purchase, but it hasn't downloaded, I have tried to restore purchases and deleting and re-downloading it still with no luck, can anyone help?

    Hi there, The best thing I would do is contact the app maker!
    How to get in contact with makers:
    1. App Store Developer Website
    2. In App Contact Support (Some app's don't have this!)
    3. App Store Contact Email (I have not seem to have located the contact emails yet!)

    Go into the settings and the app store. there you'll see the options to automatially update purchases. You can turn it off for music or other content. That should keep things from automatically downloading to both your devices.

  • Why are apps appearing in my music folder?

    Just wondering if I can delete these ".IPA" (iOS App) files and .XML files that have appeared in my Music folder. I'm on a PC, so the files are assigned to iTunes, but I still don't know why they're here. I think they appeared after I synced my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) with the computer. There's also over 300 "ITC2" files which I have no clue about. All the app files are apps I have on my iPod, so that much makes sense, and some of the "ITC2" files are the same name as the 2 books I have on my iPod. All the others are just things like "4C9515F643471A36-D9A5A87B5F4A4EDF.ITC2". I just want to know if I can delete them really.
    Thanks
    PS: Isn't leaving iOS app files lying around kind of asking me to share them for free on the internet? Just saying.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    .ipa files are your apps and should end up in Mobile Applications. .itc2 files are cached artwork and should end up in the Album Artwork folders. These are normal parts of the iTunes library and should be left alone. I can't tell exactly what you did when you connected your device but it looks like you allowed iTunes to transfer your purchases into your library. This is a good thing. If your iPod was lost, stolen or damaged, you would have the files needed to rebuild your setup on a replacement device.
    The iTunes folder is normally created inside your profile's Music folder, with the iTunes Media folder inside iTunes. If the files in question are appearing outside of the normal folder structure outlined above then perhaps you have the wrong setting for the media folder.

  • Why are Apps taking up space on my Mac in iTunes when I have iCloud?

    The Apps in iTunes on my Mac take up a lot of disk space. Why are they there at all? I use iCloud to backup my iPhone and iPad. iTunes Store keeps my purchase history. So, why are the Apps taking up space on my computer?

  • HT4528 why are apps from another iphone showing up on my iphone

    Apps my son is downloading to his phone are showing on my phone.  What is up?

    This feature works like that because many users have more than one iDevice, for example I have an iPhone, an iPod and an iPad, and many users want all the apps that they buy downloaded to all  of them.  Then automatic downloads of all apps is switched to on.
    If two different users want to share an  Apple ID and do not want all apps purchased by one user downloaded in the device of the other user, all that is required is to make sure that the App Store settings are set to manual download.
    This gives the users more choice as to how their iPhones and other iDevices  work with the App Store.  It takes very little effort to set up the App Store settings to your liking.
