Advantages to keep purchased Apps on iTunes?

Hi and tnxs for reading.
Since Apple introduces iClouds, all purchased Apps for iOs devices can be redownloaded all the times we need from the Cloud for free.
Since a recent feature, iOS Apps on iTunes are not automatically updated anymore.
Now, I am wondering, what are the advantages to keep all purchased Apps on our Mac iTunes? What happens if I delete all my Apps on iTunes in order to save some HD space?
If I delete all the Apps, does a locl iPhone backup on my iTunes keep Apps settings? In other words, if I delete all the Apps from my MAC iTunes but on top of my iOS devices iCloud backup I do a local backup on my MAC on iTunes, if one day I restore a new iPhone or iPad with my local backup from an iTunes which is not conatining any app, will I be able to have back all my purchased APPs automatically on my iOS devices with their settings ?? (i.e. Apps downloaded from iCloud and setting restored from local backup...)...
Sorry for the confusion but I hope you understand my doubts..
Cheers

how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

Not necessarily...
You would need to check the Terms and Conditions for the Mac App Store and possibly iTunes for clarity on that assumption...

HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

IPhone 3G refuses to transfer purchased apps to iTunes

My iPhone 3G refuses to transfer purchased apps to iTunes. This is causing me major problems with syncing.
Whenever I attempt to transfer apps from the iPhone to iTunes it goes through the motions, but never actually transfers anything. It displays the various apps in the info area at the top of the screen, but the progress bar never advances.
In comparsion when I sync other iPhones, using the same install of iTunes, the progress bar advances and apps are transferred.
The same also happens on clean installs of iTunes on other computers, it seems to be my iPhone that is the common factor. I have tried restoring the phone from a backup, which makes no difference.
This started happening months ago and the phone has since been upgraded to 3.0 and 3.1, but the problem still persists.
Originally it was just a minor irritation, but I made and attempt to fix it which has made things worse. I deleted all the apps from with iTunes and then did "Transfer purchases" in the hope that it might fix something.
It didn't fix anything. Also, I cannot now sync at all.
If I do sync iTunes now does "transferring purchases", fails to transfer and then deletes all the apps (and data) from my iPhone. It also means I can't sync music, podcasts or anything else.
I can't sync anything else, because I can't temporarily turn off app syncing because then iTunes warns that the apps on the iPhone will be deleted.
I also tried de-authorising and re-authorising.
What can I do to get app syncing working again ?

I am still struggling with the same problem, doesn't anyone have any suggestions ?

TS1702 How do you permanently delete purchased apps from itunes?

How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

HT201272 How do I redownload my purchased apps to iTunes on Mac

I had all my iTunes apps, video, music etc stored on an external hard drive.
The drive broke down and so did the backup.
So when I open up iTunes now, I see the apps but when I ask to "find in finder" I obviously get an exclamation mark.
I was able to rebuild all my music and videos but am stomped with the apps.
I want to redownload my purchased apps to iTunes which is the last step in reconstructing my iTunes library
I tried the procedure outlined in the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 but got stomped at step 4:
of: "To download previously purchased:/ Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer/Using iTunes 11 or later"
which states: "After you've signed in, click the Library button located in the upper-right of the iTunes Store."
There is no Library Button.
Anyone had the same problem and solve it ? If so, please help !
Thank you !
PS: I am using iTunes 11.01

With iTunes 11, if you have the left-hand sidebar showing (option-command-S) like on previous versions of iTunes, then the Library button won't show - instead you can select your library via that sidebar.
To re-download, on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage there should be a Purchased link under the Quick Links section. Click on that and you should go to a screen where you can select the content type (music, apps etc) and be able to re-download them. If you still have the 'pointers' to your apps in your iTunes library (i.e. where you are getting the exclamation marks) then iTunes will assume that you already have them somewhere and won't let you re-download them - so try deleting one of them first and you should then be able to re-download it via that Purchased link, and you can then do the same for the others.

How to backup purchased app to itunes library and restore

How can I backup purchased app to itunes library ( version 11.0.0.163 ) , what I had found in google was old version with different format
kindly advice , thanks

Connect your device to iTunes. The device should show at the top right just next to the iTunes Store button.
Or on a Mac to View > Show Sidebar, on a PC press Ctrl+S and the device should show in the sidebar
Backup apps and restore as you did in iTunes 10
Hope that helps

ICloud Family Sharing - can't purchase apps with iTunes Credit

My wife and I previously shared the same AppleID on our phones. When the family sharing became available, it seemed the perfect approach for what we were accomplishing. I upgraded my wife's phone to 8.x and then moved her back to the Apple ID that I had initially created for her. I invited her to join the family and completed that setup.
We then had some iTunes gift cards that she had received and so loaded those to her iTunes account (wife's AppeID) on her iPad. However, when we attempt to purchase apps on her iPad, it insists on purchasing from my AppleID via my credit card rather than using the iTunes credit.
Any suggestions? I've seen posts that iTunes credit cannot be transferred.

Nope, not actually. The only restrictions Alberta places on gift cards are the following:
* Not allow expiry dates on gift cards, gift certificates, and vouchers that have been purchased and have monetary value
* Eliminate inactivity fees, also called dormancy fees, that reduce the value of gift cards the longer they go unredeemed
* Prevent businesses from not honouring gift cards for purchases that are
more or less than the value of a gift card
* Require merchants to fully disclose any restrictions on use of a gift card on both the actual card and its packaging
To further my point, Apple definately does not abide by the last law (at least in the rest of Canada), as they say nothing on the card or its packaging about not being able to buy apps with it.

I have changed my credit card. How can I enter my new credit card data to purchase Apps or iTunes music? Thanks. Philippe

I can't download purchased apps in iTunes 11?

I downloaded iTunes 11 for my PC. I can download my purchased music and movies/tv shows, but I can't seem to download my purchased apps. Whenever I open the apps page in my library, nothing comes upavailable for download like in the music tab. I've purchased at least 50 apps from my old iPod Touch, and I want them on my computer from iTunes since I no longer have the iPod Touch.Why aren't my purchased apps showing up? How can I download them again?

Hello HumphreyWilliams,
You can always redownload your purchased content for free. I have linked to an article that will show you how to access your library of purchased content.
