How do I copy an app from my iPhone to my desktop iTunes?

iTunes tells me there's an update for my iPhone. I click on update. It tell me that there are apps on my iPhone that are not on my computer, and that I should copy them to the computer before updating.  I sync the iPhone, and then get the same message when I start the update.
How do I copy an app, that's only on the iPhone, to the computer?
Thanks,
Phil

With your phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

  • How do I copy Aperture app from iMac to Macbookwith different ID

    how do I copy Aperture app from iMac to Macbookwith different ID ?

    Do you mean
    " Macbook with different Apple ID "   ?
    If you bought Aperture on your iMac from the App Store using a different AppleID, sign into the Apple Store on your MacBook with exactly that Apple ID.  (Use the "Store" menu. First sign out and then sign in with the other ID)
    Then reload the "Purchased" page. You should see now Aperture ready for download.  Install it.
    Then sign out of the store and back in with your regular AppleID on that Mac.  If you are notified of updates, you will have to switch between AppleIDs again to install the update.

  • My partner has my former iPad 1, I have an iPhone 5 and iPad Gen III.  I want to copy my contacts list to his iPad.  We both have Apple ID's and we share a PC.  How do i copy the contacts from my iPhone, iCloud or iPad to his iPad 1?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

    How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
    When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
    Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
    Thanks.

    You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device

  • How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    I am an IT in a government office who just switched our fleet to iPhones.  We are not permitted to use certains apps that are either not in our data contract, touch the Cloud, or cause cost/personnel issues.  Those items I try to corral in a folder "Unusable Apps" on a separate page where the user has little eye contact with them (outta sight outta mind right).  I go through the motions of turning off every notification, update, share feature, etc. I can find but the icons are still on the phone.  I have a fleet of about 100 iPhones and at least half my users are sneaky & curious and often try to reactivate things I have already hidden or turned off per our agency telecommunications policy.  I just want them removed all together so I don't have to keep going through this and for those who can't fight temptation - they won't have to anymore.  How do I remove standard apps from an iPhone 5?

    You may want to repost this in one of the iPhone for Business forums:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/iphone_in_business_and_education
    You'll want to ask about Configurator.
    My company uses iPads as part of a Point of Sale System. They have restricted access to many of the built in apps and deployed custom apps.
    Best of luck.

  • Hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    hi i just buy a macbook how can i transfer all my musics and apps from my iphone to my new itune?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • How Do I Delete An App from My iPhone When the App does not appear on my PC

    I downloaded an app directly to my iphone. I want to delete the app. Usually I simply sync to my PC, and then delete the app from itunes and it is gone when I re-sync.
    In this case the app doesn't show on the list of apps you can check or uncheck to show or not show on the iphone when syncing. Also in itunes, when I click on Devices, and then content, Apps isn't one of the choices in the drop down menu.
    How do I get this app off my iphone??

    I have the same problem on my iPhone - an app I want to delete but can't. The app in question doesn't show up on the list of apps i iTunes and doesn't show an 'X' when it starts to wiggle. All the other apps do, but not this one. It's definitely an app. How do I get rid of it, please?

  • How do I remove all apps from my iPhone?

    How do I bulk remove all apps from my iPhone? There has to be a better way than removing each one manually. Thanks.

    It's easiest to plug it into the computer if you have a lot, and click on the Music tab of the iPhone. Then, either Control-A (Windows) or Command-A (Mac) to select all of the songs then press delete on your keyboard. If you have a few, it is easiest to swipe over the individual songs and press delete.

    how do i move apps from a iphone 3 to a iphone 4

    Transfer your purchases from your plod phone to iTunes by right clicking on your phone in the device list and choosing "transfer purchases". After that all media should be in iTunes, ready to sync with the new phone.

    If you use the backup of the old phone to restore your iphone4 from, all app data and settings will be there as well.
