[iPad] Syncing

 

Have you tried opening the Apps tab when you are connected to your iMac & unchecking the apps that you no longer want on your iPad?

From my understanding of things, I shouldn't have to uncheck what I don't want via Mac. The Mac should already know that since all my Mac and iOS stuff gets synced to the Cloud, correct?

If you sync with the Mac, what is checked in iTunes on the Mac WILL be synced to your iDevice.

The Mac doesn't use the cloud to check or look at its previous backups?

You can choose to back up an iDevice to your Mac, or to iCloud, or you can manually alternate both kinds of backup.

These backup schemes have nothing to do with how, or whether, you sync the iDevice's content with the Mac, except insofar as syncing with iTunes on the Mac and backing up to the Mac are likely to happen during the same connection session.

Shouldn't it at least ask if I want something installed if it's not on my iPad already?

The default assumption in iTunes is that, if you connect your device to your Mac, open iTunes, and either have iTunes set to sync automatically, or click on the Sync button, that whatever sync settings you have in iTunes are to be executed.

It assumes, as I would, that if you didn't want X App, Y song, or Z video to sync with the connected and selected device, then you wouldn't have checked their boxes.
