[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1340218, member: 38864"] If you delete an app off the iPad before it is synced, then there is no copy on the iPad that can get synced to the Mac. If you delete the app off the MacBook, then sync the iPad, any apps on the iPad that don't exist SHOULD get synced to the MacBook. However… I tried that recently with my iPhone to try and clean out some old apps no longer in use, and what really happened is that all those apps got wiped off my iPhone too when I synced. That's really not supposed to happen… I got a prompt to transfer my "purchases" off the iPhone, which would have been all my apps, but they didn't cross over, so I guess it's just buggy right now. You probably have enabled the option to automatically download purchased apps in iTunes. Go to: [I]iTunes > Preferences > Store[/I] and deselect "Apps" in the section for Automatic Downloads. Be aware that if you delete an app off your iPad after you have already synced it, deleting the app off the iPad will not remove it from your Mac. It just won't sync it back. [/QUOTE]
