Why does my iPad synch iPhone Apps through Cloud Backup Sync?

So I'm having an issue with my iPad 3 syncing iphone apps. It usually happens everytime I put the iPad on the charger and I'm wondering why this started happening, as I don't remember checking or unchecking anything to sync apps (iphone apps?) onto my iPad. I don't want or need my iPad to sync older apps, especially iphone apps in general.
Can anyone tell me where I can manage this or get my iPad to stop downloading the apps onto my iPad?

I can't update apps via the ipad alone because it doesn't have enough space for the update, and I can't update via the laptop without erasing everything in the process WHICH it does on it's own.

There lies the possible root of the problem. Make sure you keep enough available space for the ipad to update and function properly.

    What does my iPad ask for verification when trying to download free app from App Store

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • Why are my iPad and iPhone apps not syncing?

    I put an app that is for both iPad and iPhone on my iPhone and it went on my ipad. But when I deleted the app on my iPhone, it was not deleted on my ipad. When I go to ITunes and apps stores under settings, Music, Apps, and Books are are all set ON on both devices. Help! What's wrong and what can I do to fix it?

    I may recall that you might have to charge your device in order for the automatic download to work. But I'm not 100% sure, it is worth trying out.

  • HT204053 why does my ipad "Apple Store" app, not recognize me when i try to log in using my apple id?  i use only one apple id for both store and iCloud and know i am keying correctly.  hmmm.

    we use a pc to hold all of our media but are two ppl in the household.  we both log into itunes and apple store using our own passwords.  recently on my ipad i was no longer able to upgrade/log in the apple store because when it asks for my password it prompts for my partners password and it doesn't recognize me.  also, oddly, my partner added an app that i also want to add on his ipad.  when i attempted to add that app using my apple id log in it thinks i'm him and prompts for his password on my ipad therefore leaving me no way to have that app.  how do i get my app store to function again (recognize me) and how can we finally figure out how to separate the media so i don't get his apps on my devices and mine on his (and then not be able to access them b/c we don't share passwords)?  please help.

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

  • Why does my iPad open the app store whenever an add comes up when I'm on the internet?

    When I'm on my iPad and on the internet whenever a game app add comes up on the side it forcibly takes me to the app store to download the app without me even touching it. I have tried different browsers and they all do it.

    That's because the ad contains JavaScript which activates a URL. That URL causes the App Store to open.
    Avoid those sites which cause this. Complain to their webmasters.
    Using "Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data" may help.

  • Why does my iPad randomly quit apps

    Happens daily, thought it was doing it to let me no battery getting low but it still happens when on charge and full battery

    You may want to try this:
    1. Backup iPad
    2. Setup iPad as new (Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings)
    3. Test iPad thoroughly
    4. If everything is fine, restore backup to iPad

  • Why does apple ipad and iphone have problems with comcast?

    We attempt to send pictures through our comcast wifi account and gets to about 90%and freezes. Have reset modem, and router, have turned off phone and reset it. Have switched to 4G then pictures will send. Only has problem when connected to wifi. As my ipad is wifi, I cannot send pictures at all with it.
    Did not have this problem until iOS 6 update.
    Any suggestions?

    My iPad and other devices have no problems with Comcast, but I didn't get my WiFi router from them. If you did, your router may need a firmware update, or you may need to get a different model of router.
    Regards.

  • Why does my iPad and iPhone only sync emails up to 2weeks old

    Until very recently I was able to sync emails from my works Outlook account for up to 1-2 months but for some reason this can only be for a max of 2 weeks. Why has this changed as using both for business 2 weeks isn't of much use. Please help as I don't believe it's related to the last software upgrade.

    Cause that's what you have it set to, by design or default.
    Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / <your mail account>  See what Mail Days to Sync is set to. When we set up our corporate MS Office 365 accounts, the iPhone defaulted to one week.

  • Why does my ipad keep losing connection and kicking me out of apps?

    Why does my ipad keep dropping apps while I am using them like facebook and facetime. It just disconnects and goes to the home screen. Very frustrating!

    I have a MacBookPro...my wife has iPad2...and I do nothing with her iPad...
    let me ask a dumb question reading here.  She plays a lot of Scrabble or word games...goes on Facebook, and has been complaining to me about the games crashing, bringing her sometimes back to the home page. 
    We followed one piece of advice given here...to hold the start and home buttons simultaneously and reboot.  This may work...we'll see.
    But...on the advice concerning the apps.  When she holds down an App...they vibrate or shake, which I guess is a way to move an app about...drag it.  Saw no minus sign.  I guess we assumed the app was "closed" sitting dormant on the home screen...and so I know or understand (she not so computer literate), an app sitting on the homescreen is not necessarily closed?  Hitting home and bringing the desktop back up, is not necessarily closing out of the app?
    thanks...

  • Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
    Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help.  Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

    Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6 | This helped me
    I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
    I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.

  • HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter

    Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?

    I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar).  If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

  • Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

    Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks?  Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

    I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
    You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.

  • Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in his billing info and my iPad mini does.  We both live in Canada.

    Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in billing info?  I have it on my iPad Mini and on my iPhone 4S.  We both live in Canada within 20 minutes of each other.
    I bought him $30.00 worth of iTunes gift cards, he loaded them, but it won't let him use them.  It just goes to his previously entered Visa card which he no longer has and it won't let him unselect it either.  Sounds like theft to me!

    Because you that's not a supported bluetooth profile on the iPhone... In order to sync contacts with a handsfree system, the system needs to support the PBAP bluetooth profile. If it does, then the contacts will sync automatically.
