Why are my apps downloading to my husbands iphone?

I set up a seperate itunes account for myself so that this would not happen but now my recent app purchases are downloading to my husbands iphone as well as mine. Why is that?

I think I might have figured it out, but perhaps someone with more knowledge can tell me.
I believe what happened is that I plugged my phone into our computer and automatically assumed that iTunes would notice the seperate accounts and switch them. So I didn't log out of my husbands iTunes account and synced my phone. We use the same password for both Apple ID's or iTunes accounts, whichever they are called, so when my phone asked for my password to download the new apps it could have changed the ID and I not realise it.
So right now I have logged out of my husbands iTunes account, logged into mine and am now syncing. My new question, will this fix the problem so long as we take the care to log into the correct account before syncing?

  • Why are most app downloads these days as a .dmg file?

    What ever happened to the old .sit, .cpt, .sea and other formats that used to dominate the Mac download world years ago? It seems like 99% of my app downloads these days are as a .dmg file. In wonder if they are better than .sit.

    Apple includes built-in zip support, as well as DMG, of course.
    It used to be that Apple included Stuffit Expander, but now, you need no extra software - assuming everyone moves to zip and DMG files.
    Works well, and frankly, at first it bugged me, but now I prefer it.
    That's likely due to 22 years of using Macs...

  • Why are my apps downloading again on my iPad

    Today I purchased 4 new apps for my iPad. I didin't do anythign differently but this time when I synced my iPad the apps just read 'waiting' beneath the icon and now I have to redownload them over wifi. This is the same for all 4 of them. What is going on, I never had to do this before. Once they were downloaded into iTunes they synced with the iPad and they were ready to run.

    That's very curious as the appeared to take a long time to download each. They also reported being fully downoladed in the download window in iTunes. It's certainly never happened before that they would synchronise without being fully downloaded.

  • Why are my apps failing to update on iPhone 5 after installing IOS8

    My iPhone 5 is failing to update apps.  I am using IOS 8 and suspect this may be the problem.  Wish I had never upgraded to IOS 8.  Has anyone got a way around this problem?

    The Apple shop sorted it for me by reinstalling IOS 8.  It was thought the IOS 8 download I did had a glitch.

  • Why are my apps not downloading?

    Why are my apps not downloading? They just sit there waiting and I keep getting an error saying that my purchases cannot be downloaded at this time and to try again later. I have tried logging out and in, and rebooting but neither has worked

    Same problem here.  Not able to update any apps or to download new purchased music.  Doesn't work on iPad, iPhone, or iTunes.  Tried with 3G download rather than wifi on the phone and iPad.  It still hasn't worked.  I changed me credit card, but without success.
    The store is currently broken for some users, maybe all.

  • Why are my apps being downloaded in German

    Just make sure the Apps you want on the iPod touch have a checkmark next to them. If they don't just click the check box to add one.

  • Why are my apps no longer on my iPad?

    Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?

    Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
    If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
    If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.

  • Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?

    Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?  I bought 4 apps, then had to reset my iPad, later when trying to download them back onto the iPad, they were not listed under by Purchased apps in my account in iTunes.  Thanks for any help!

    Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
    If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!!

  • Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

    Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

  • Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a full GB more than what it should.

    Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
    For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
    Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
    This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
    I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
    I link to a mac computer.
    I have IOS version 6.1.3
    I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
    Please help!!

    Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

  • Why are most apps only for apple products?

    Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
    why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

    I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
    Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there.  Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
    iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple.  Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
    I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.
