How can I transfer apps from my iphone to my computer?

Our laptop died the other day, so we needed to reload everything from scratch. I've successfully synched up my mail, calendar and contacts, but can't figure out how to get all of my purchased apps to show up on my computer. The only option I can see looks like it would wipe everything off of the iphone to match the computer, are there no options that let you replace what is on the computer with what is on the iphone? I assume these items are protected as music is on your ipod - but there has got to be some kind of work around - yeah?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Be VERY CAREFUL. Back up your phone and I would suggest calling an Apple "expert" online before doing so. The iTunes update deleted 85% of all my applications and someone else reporting the same issue here. I too was trying to sync my iPhone with a new hard drive. Good luck.

    how can I transfer photos from my iphone to my computer without emailing each one to myself, and I thought they would be in icloud but I can't find them

    Pics taken with the iphone are imported to your computer as with any other digital camera ( as explained in the manual).
    Pics synced to your iphone from your computer should still be on the computer.

  • How can I transfer apps from my iPhone to my iPad?

    How can I tad
    my apps from my iPhone to my iPad

    Download then again in the App Store on the iPad. You will not have to pay for them again as long as you use the same Apple ID.
    Bear in mind that unless your iPhone apps are Universal apps, they will appear in their native iPhone size (half size) on the iPad. You will be able to enlarge them to fill the screen but that will double the size of the pixels which reduces resolution, however, they will still work.
    You could also transfer them into iTunes and sync them to the iPad, but if you synced with iTunes on a regular basis, I assume that would be something that you would or should already know.

  • How can I transfer playlists from my Iphone to my Computer

    So I recently got a new computer and I just installed Itunes on it.
    My old computer broke and so I lost the playlists in it, but I still have all my playlists and songs on my Iphone 4.
    I searched up how to transfer playlists to my new computer and I found that doing a Back Up would work, so I backed up my Iphone to my new itunes and all the playlists with songs are on it.
    Everything seemed fine untill i realized that I cant do anything with my music apart from playing it on my computer.
    The songs play but i cant even drag them out to my desktop or anything.
    Is there anything I could do to move the songs and copy them onto a file on my desktop?
    Please answer asap, im frustrated and cant seem to find a solution.
    Thank You

    Not really. Frankly you should always keep at least two copies of your iTunes libraries on separate drives. Your iPhone could be too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. Some of the paid transfer software does make it relatively easy to copy off the media but there are free solutions in that list too, the last three entries in particular.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my computer using itunes without syncing?

    Got a bit of a dilemma here... I had all my music backed up on my laptop and I usually transferred files using iTunes from there but it got a virus so I had wipe the whole thing out. I lost everything I had there but I had iTunes on my computer, I just didn't have all the files that were on my iPhone on that computer, only on my laptop. Now I want to add music onto my iPhone from my computer but I'll have to sync it, which means loosing half of my music. Is there anyway I can transfer music onto the device without loosing half of the data or is there any way I can transfer the music from iTunes to my computer so that when I sync it, all the music stays there? And if I need a third party transfer tool, which one is the most reliable to avoid viruses again?

    Hello ZabeM
    Anything that was purchased can be transferred to your new iTunes library by following the steps in the article below. You can also look at your purchased history and download the tracks to your computer.

  • 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 contacts from my iPhone to a new iPad with another Apple-ID?

    You can't. Not directly anyway. You might be able to import them to your computer and then sync them to the iPad but there is no way to transfer them over the air or by connecting the two devices with a cable.
    I know absolutely nothing about apps like this, but I did a very quick Google search and found this.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

    The easiest method is to setup an iCloud account, turn on Contacts syncing in Settings > iCloud on both devices, and the Contacts from the iPhone will sync to the iPad.
