Need Apple iDevice help please

[sherry7]

This is slightly off topic, but I'm so aggravated that I'm almost ready to pay for professional help, lol.

I have an iPad 4, and recently bought an iPad Mini. When I download an app to the iPad, it automatically installs to the iPad Mini as well (and vice versa). iTunes isn't involved in the process, because I haven't plugged either of them into the computer recently. For example, I just downloaded the PBS Kids app on the Mini. I looked at my iPad 4 a few minutes later, and it had installed on that too.

I know it's probably something that I need to change in my settings, but I can't figure out what. I tried googling, but I must be using the wrong search terms. Help please?

I think it still has to do with your iTunes account because when my kids download apps on their iPods, they show up on my iPhone. Go into iTunes and I think there's something that says "automatically add apps to all devices" or something like that. I'm not positive, but I think that's where you start. I don't believe you can change it in your settings on the iPad.

It definitely has something to do with iTunes. Even if you haven't plugged in your device you still have it linked by logging in with your iTunes account on your device when you puirchase apps. you can go on iTunes and uncheck syncing apps to all devices.

Thanks, you guys are awesome! It was a setting under iTunes, edit, preferences, store, and uncheck the toggle for automatic downloads.
