Syncing removes purchased apps from iPhone

Can anyone tell me how to stop purchased apps just disappearing from my iPhone when I sync with my laptop? Thanks!

Know the frustration. I have authorised iTunes and unticked "Sync Applications" in the iTunes "Applications" tab, but when I try to sync "Photos" on my iPhone I get the warning that the apps on my iPhone will be deleted and replaced with the current iPhone apps in iTunes. Doesn't give me this warning for other categories I've disabled for syncing like music, video, etc.

  • Unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7

    I tried all the solution which been offered from apple support but i still unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7. Please show me what to do =(

    Are you trying to transfer apps to Windows 7 to USE them on Windows 7, or to back up your iPhone? iPhone apps will not run on Windows (OR Mac OS X); they only run on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
    To back up your iPhone, connect the phone to your computer using the cable that came with the phone and a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub. Do not sync.
    Check the account you have on your iPhone by going to Settings/Store. Make sure you are logged in to this same account on your computer, and that the computer is Authorized to this account (check the Store menu).
    Go to the File Menu in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases".
    If you have a problem with any of these steps please let us know exactly what the problem is.

    An iPhone backup does not contain any iTunes content. After you restore from backup, you must sync or re-download your iTunes content, to restore it to your device.

  • Purchased app from iPhone won't transfer to iTunes

    I purchased an app on my iPhone and now every time I sync, it starts off with:
    Transferring purchases from "iPhone", Copying (app)
    The progress bar get about 10% and then it moves on to the next task such as installing new apps or syncing contacts. It does this EVERY TIME. I go to File->Transfer Purchases and it says the same thing above, hits 10%, and stops. I never get an error message. The app doesn't show up on my "Applications" in the library nor does it show on the "Applications" tab for manual syncing. I can't re-download the app via iTunes because iTunes doesn't realized I purchased it and wants to charge me again.
    My phone is not Jailbroken and I'm running 2.0.2, although I have been getting many 0xE800002E errors lately and have had to sync apps manually for a while and I'm afraid of losing my purchased app should I ever have to do a wipe and restore.

    My wife just received an email from Apple Tech Support. Please see excerpt below:
    +"Because you have already purchased "Texas Hold'em", you may download it+
    +again at no charge, either from your device or using iTunes on your+
    computer.
    +Be sure that you are signed in to the same iTunes Store account that you+
    +used to purchase the application originally, and follow the steps to+
    +purchase it again. You will be notified that you have already purchased the+
    +item and can download it again for free."+
    So... she went to download it again from iTunes. At first it didn't recognize that she had already purchased it, but by the confirmation stage it did state that she already purchased it and gave the option to download again at not charge. She went ahead and did this for Texas Hold Em and several other apps that she purchased originally from her phone. All is now in sync on both her iTunes and iPhone.
    I'm assuming this is a bug that will probably get corrected in a future release.

  • Option to keep app data when removing an app from iPhone

    I'm sure this has been asked for before, but are there any plans to add this feature?
    It would be nice to be able to remove an app (after all I only have 16gb of space and can't keep adding new apps) and have iTunes keep a back up of it's data so it's restored when you re-add the app.
    The iPhone is overtaking devices like the PSP and DS in game sales, so it's clear that a lot of people use the iPhone for gaming. With other portable games consoles, you can choose what games you want to take with you when you're out and about without fear of losing saved games if you decide to leave one at home. It would be a great feature if you could add and remove games at will just as simply as adding or removing playlists. After all, you can remove a playlist from your device to make room, but can always re-add it later.
    As I said before, I'm sure lots of people want this feature, but all I want to know is if it is in the works or not.
    Thanks for reading.

    I agree it would be a very nice feature; the iPhone's syncing and data backup capabilities are very limited compared to devices that have preceded it like Palms and even the HP handhelds of 15 years ago. However, you won't get an answer here because this is a user forum and Apple does not respond to posts.
    The good news is that the API allows app developers to save data and transfer it to your computer either by over the Internet, by wire or WiFi, and some app developers have incorporated backup features into their apps. The bad news is that the process is manual, for each app, and that the process is not the same across apps.

  • I can't sync new purchased app from itune to my ipad

    recently i brought new asus laptop with windows 8 OS. i have installed the itune into this computer. everything i purchase from apple store i can't transfer to my ipad. i can see all the app i had download before from my itune.
    and if i download new app from my ipad then i can see it from my itune app window. but it won't work other way around. not even sync to new update for my original apps that i already have.
    if i plug back into my old laptop with xp os, it work just fine.
    anybody have any idea what is going on? some functions i might be missing to check?
    Thanks

    Hi there chouhappy!
    It sounds like you want your apps to download onto your iPad automatically when you purchase them on the computer. This is a feature called Automatic Downloads, and you will need to turn it on for your new computer and iPad. An article about doing this can be found here:
    iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
    It sounds like you might be syncing your iPad with multiple computers as well. An article about successfully syncing with multiple computers can be found right here:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202
    If you are still having trouble getting your apps from your computer to your iPad after reviewing those articles, you can always re-download the apps from your Past Purchases history:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How to transfer purchased apps from iPhone to macbook

    Hey guys, I'm trying to transfer a couple of apps that I purchased on my iPhone, and I'm trying to get them on my Macbook air without buying them agin. The problem is that I don't know if the method thats been provide for us on apple/support.com is actually working. The method I've been using is plugging my phone up to my macbook and opening iTunes, then going to file> devices> transfer purchases, but nothing seemed to happen. Is there a Specific place or file that the transferred purchases would have been sent to or am I doing it all wrong? P.S the apps that I'm trying to transfer is Garageband, Pages, Numbers, and Key Note.

    That method will put the iOS versions of them into the computer's iTunes library. The Mac OS X versions need to be gotten from the Mac App Store.
    Mac OS X and iOS are separate architectures.

  • How do I delete a purchased app from iPhone 6 iOS 8?

    In trying desperately to sync Microsoft Office Outlook contacts for iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1 with my PC, I noted on the sync page that I needed to download Microsoft Outlook on my phone. I did so, installed it, only to learn that it does not work for "msn email accounts".
    So, now how do I delete this useless app from my iPhone 6?

    Read this: iPhone User Guide - Support - Apple

    I cannot delete your posts. As I explained, only the Hosts can.
    And if you can find it in your heart to actually pass on the feedback that the pre installed apps not being able to easily be gotten rid of is a problem, then that would be great.
    Use the feedback link I gave in my first post.
    Apparently one of your hosts deleted his own post where he called me an idiot for necroing this thread, where it's still an issue. Obviously I'm not so naive as to think it'd be changed on one person's say-so, but the fact that he deleted his own post is problematic and goes to trust and accountability.

  • I can't sync my purchased albums from iphone to new computer

    hi I have a new laptop which I have authorized, but when I try to import my purchased music from my iphone it says I need to authorize my computer. I have tried logging out and back in again on itunes, and I only have the one account. Any ideas what the prob could be?

    The most likely reason is the iPhone and PC have different iTunes store accounts. Have you tried "Transfer purchases from..." on the file menu in iTunes?
    Go to My Account in iTunes and make sure it really IS authorized.

  • Removal of apps from iphone before syncing

    While I've trolled through various threads I must confess to being completely confused as to why itunes wants to delete all my apps or music from my iphone if I want to add a new song, ringtone or whatever.  It seems that once removed I am able to reinstall later.
    Seems so illogical to have to do that everytime one wants to add something to my iphone.
    I'm hoping someone can tell me that I'm missing something and it can't be as bad as I'm saying.   Because if it is this bad then despite loving the iphone I will be strongly tempted to go Android where one can just drag and drop.

    Nancy ...
    The apps that run om your 3G (which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1) may not run on your iPhone iOS 6.
    On your iPhone 5 open the App Store then locate one of the apps that didn't sync.

  • Can not sync new purchased apps to iPhone

    Dear Friends
    For about a month now any new purchases in iTunes on my computer  will not sync to my iPhone. In the My Phone > iPhone >Apps window I move the new apps onto the iPhone screens.  Then press Apply to sync.  It starts to sync and then on the step (3 I think) - determined tracks to sync, the apps disappear from the iPhone window  and are not added to the iPhone.  I have restored, resetted, restarted, downloaded and reinstalled iTunes etc...  several times and still  I get the same behaviour.  Please does anyone know how I can fix this.
    Thanks in advance
    Cath

    Check Settings>General>Restrictions on your phone to be sure that Installing Apps is set to On.  Also, in iTunes on your computer be sure on the Apps tab of your sync settings that you have checked each of the apps that you want to sync to your phone, and that your computer is authorized for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase them in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer.
