Here's, quite possibly, an easy one for the more Apple experienced among us.

Got an iPhone today and have plugged it in and done all the relevant bits to it. Have had an iPad for about 4 or 5 years which rarely gets plugged in as its only really for little 'un to use (our phones do what we need!)

I've added a couple of apps to the new phone today, but when I went onto the iPad earlier, the new apps had also downloaded on there. I am using the same Apple ID for both (I think?!).

Is there a way for it NOT to do this? I've told iTunes that it was a new phone and am not (knowingly) telling it to also update the iPad, so I can only assume that it thinks I want everything to be on everything?

Help!
