Driving me nuts!!! iTunes keeps re-downloading two apps...

[Matth3w]

I don't want iTunes to re-download Broken Sword and Asphalt 5 for the iPad/iPhone. My iTunes is sync'd with my Dropbox and it wastes like a GB of space between the two of them. I have it unchecked in the store section of iTunes to automatically download apps. But after syncing my iPhone they start to download EVERY TIME. Drives me nuts. I've deleted, unchecked the box that says to auto download, etc. I don't have them on my devices either. I will never ever play those games again even though I paid for them. What can I do to have it quit doing that?

Have you tried in iTunes to goto "Apps" in the left hand column click on "Apps" and then right click on the app(s) you don't want and delete them. I think it will ask if you want to Hide them or Delete them, your choice, I would chose Delete. They will still be available on the iTunes store as purchased.

That happened to me before. To avoid apps from re-downloading again, this time, let them downloaded completely before deleting them off your saved apps in iTunes. Because if you delete them while they are still downloading, everytime you update your apps in iTunes, the apps you've deleted whilst still downloading will re-download again. Hope this helps
