Q: I purchased an app on my iPad and I want it on my iPhone but when I connect my iPhone to the MAC computer is automatically syncs and I end up with all the other apps my kids have on their phones.  I only want the 1 app!

Hello skkmmayer,

That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store.
