Can't transfer apps from Mac to iPhone using iTunes

I need to transfer an app from my Mac to my iPhone because the vendor bodged an update. I've deleted the broken app from the iPhone and now want to sync apps with my Mac as it has a working copy of the app. However when I go to the syncing screen there are no apps visible:
But my Apps are all there on the Mac:
Don't know when the problem started as I normally keep the apps up to date on each device over wifi.
Any ideas chaps?

Apps you purchase from the Mac App Store can only run on the Mac OS X.
Apps purchased from the iTunes store run on iOS based devices such as your iPod.
In other words, you can't run the game for your Mac then copy it to your iPod.  Two differenct operating systems.

  • How can I transfer music from Mac to iPhone WITHOUT iTunes?

    I'd like to transfer (not sync, just transfer) songs from my Mac to my iPhone. How can I do this without going through iTunes software?
    I know there was another software I used to do this with... something like iFun or iExplorer; but neither of those will transfer from iPhone to Mac. I've searched the web several times for such software, came up empty.

    "The only reason it would delete songs on your phone that you had no physical copy of would be if you tried to sync it with a different iTunes library."
    Yes, I know that. That's why I mentioned I have two computers. I also know you can redownload songs from iTunes. The songs don't come from iTunes. I don't know why you wish to devolve my query into a legal battle (like I'm sure you're a copyright lawyer for the RIAA) but number one, who said they were copyrighted songs? Not me. Number two, even if they were, yes the copies are mine if I choose to make copies. At least in my country, that's the case. That fact does not change if I lose the original, if the original source is unplayable, or if it burned up in a fire. Are you an international copyright attorney too? If so, you're not a very good one. And I posted a simple query. I didn't post it to be told to buy a different phone. If you can't answer the query, then why are you here? Just to argue for iTunes and copyrights? I already mentioned that there is software that exists to do what I want, so I obviously do not need to buy another phone. I just want better software at this point.

  • How can you transfer iMessages from mac to iPhone?

    Does anyone know how to transfer iMessages from either a mac or an iPad onto an iPhone? I want to transfer my history of messages from these devices onto my iPhone. Any help is very much appreciated.

    You can't...
    You might be able to copy the message chat files from the iPad to the iPhone using the iExplorer app, but it may not work if you're not on the same iOS version.
    However, the messages should sync up on their own, due to the iCloud function but if not, just reference the iPad until you don't need to anymore.
    You can use iExplorer and put the message history into a pdf and then put that PDF on your phone.

  • Cannot transfer Apps from Mac to iPhone 4

    I was planning on Transfering a free app from my Mac to my iPhone 4, I plugged my iPhone in and waited for iTunes to Synce.
    I will drag Candy Crush onto the screen and Sync/Apply. After waiting for it to finish, I will click done and Eject my iPhone. I still have no App on it and when I plug it back in, it says that it was never installed. Please help.

    Will I get a reply? It seems Apple isn't as supportive as I thought.

  • How can I sync apps from Mac to iPhone and visa versa.

    Hi,
    Firstly I'm not having any problems syncing apps to my iPhone.
    I'm very OCD and would like to have it so that If I install an app onto my Mac, it sync to my iPhone. And then if I delete it from my Mac and plug my phone in to sync, it will delete it from my iPhone.
    Basically I want my iMac to be the hub of the apps, so everything I see on my iMac will be on my phone.
    Let me know if you have a solution for this!
    Tim

    As far as installing is concerned, if you install an iPhone app on your Mac and sync your iPhone to your Mac using either USB or WiFi the app will be installed on your phone. You can also go (on the phone) to Settings/iTunes & App Store and turn on Automatic Downloads for apps. Then whenever you buy or download an app on your computer or another Apple device it will automatically be installed on your iPhone.
    For uninstalling, there are 2 ways to uninstall; one is on the phone (which you said you don't want to do) and the other is to connect the phone to iTunes, click on it, then on Apps, and uncheck any apps you don't want on the phone, then sync.

  • Can't transfer APPS from 3GS to iphone 5

    just bought an Iphone 5 today and follow the instruction to restore from iTunes backup. Everything transfer except apps on the 3GS didn't migrate.  What I can do now?

    Was the iPhone 3GS backup created after the apps were installed on the iPhone 3GS?
    I've done this operation several times and it works.
    Make another backup of the iPhone 3GS and restore your iPhone 5 using this new backup.

  • Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

    Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

    Yeah! Click on your iPod when it shows up under "Devices" on the left side of iTunes while plugged in. Click on the music tab at the top and select "Manually Manage songs and playlists". Then click the arrow next to you iPod on under "Devices" and it will drop down "Music" "Videos" etc under it. Go to "Music" and select all your songs and drag them to the iTunes "Music" tab. They should copy over. Then you can go back and enable autosync.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

  • How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:
    Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

    Sync them via iTunes. All your apps should be backed up in your iTunes Library anyway.
