APP Duplication

[mac2thefuture]

Hello,

We have 6 IOS devices and one iTunes library.

This results in 20Gig of apps taking up valuble hard drive space, mainly rubbish apps that my kids acquire etc. In this post PC era, do apps d/loaded from phones/pad/pods have to be synced back to my iTunes library??

Apps from iOS devices do not need to be transferred to your iTunes library. They typically will by default when you sync with your computer but you don't need to keep them there.

How do you turn the default off?

Nope, it's just the expected functionality. I'd just keep an eye on that Mobile Applications folder and/or the Apps section of your iTunes library and just clear them out on a regular basis.
