Hello Donna,

On my iPhone, in Settings/iTunes & Appstores, under the heading Automatic 
Downloads, I have the following items turned off:
Music, Apps, Books, Updates.
I manage everything from my Mac and back up to my Mac.
I had to restore my iPhone the other day as it was behaving erratically and the 
process was really easy because everything was safely stored on my Mac.

Cheers,

Anne
