How do I install my old apps on my new phone?

I had to restore my iPhone 5, and I deleted all content and settings. I sat it up as a new iPhone. When I plugged into iTunes it only had ~5 of my ~70 apps that I've downloaded over time. I logged into the iTunes store and can see all of my past app purchases, but when I click the little iCloud "download" button, it says it's downloading the app to my MacBook. I can't figure out how to then, first of all, find the app on my Mac, and secondly I dunno how to put it on my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm operating with iOS 6.0.2, iTunes 11.0.2, and a MacBook Pro 10,2.
Thank you!!

No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies.

Is there any other option to install old apps on a new phone then restoring?

Hello there,
I need to get my old apps from my 3g (which I have backuped manually) in to my new 4s.
I tried to restore the Phone but since I did not synced the apps they were gone after the session.
Everyone talks about restoring the phone from an iTunes backup but that did not work as I described.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Shahin

I did something stupid. I forgot, that the iPhones “home” is another system partition . So when I start my old 10.6 the apps are there and I'm able to install them. I'm doing it right now.
Sorry for bothering
P.S. Now I'm in that club

I am upgrading my phone from 4-s to 5. Will the i-cloud reinstall my old applications, or will I need to manually download and install each application myself?

If you restore from the back up of the old phone, it should put your apps back for you.

How to transfer movies from an app to my new phone

I have some movies from an app called video downloader, I need to transfer them from my iphone5 to my iphone 6. Can I do that? The only thing that itunes did was copied the app, but not its content.

I only wanted the songs from the CD that I downloaded to my itunes and not lose all the songs i had. It said it would erase and then sync. I figured out though. I switch to manually manage music and videos and then sync and just the album downloaded. Songs not lost.

I just got a new phone and I'm trying to put my music on it and iTunes keeps prompting me to authorize my computer first how do I sync my old music to my new phone- not the music I purchased but all my other music

I have the new 5s and I'm trying to get ALL my music on it but it keeps prompting me to authorize my computer. (which I have done multiple times) I have all my purchased music on the phone already but it won't let me sync all my other music that I have on my iTunes.

iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

When updating the new operating system, I accidentally backed up my phone onto my husband's iPhone. How do I get his old data back on his phone?

I can't find an option in iTunes to restore to a previous backup. I know I have done this one time before when we got a used iphone 3G at one point and I was able to go back and install his old data on the new phone. Now it is only coming up as my phone in itunes and it recognizes his phone as my phone even though his number is still saved on there. Any thoughts or suggestions? I know this has to be possible I just think I'm not looking in the right place.

Syncing does not backup photos.
Backing up only backs up the photos taken with the device but is not a solution to maintaining you precious photos.
It is the user's responsibility to copy the photos taken with the device off the device to the computer. Same goes for videos taken with the device.
Media on the device has never been included in a backup.
Sorry, but if you've lost the device (or it's been stolen) and you've failed to manage your data on the device, it is gone.

How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).

Launch iTunes on the new computer. From the iTunes menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Connect the iPod to your computer then select it under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
Then from the iTunes menu bar click File / Transfer Purchases From..

Hello swethachavali,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Make sure that you are authorizing your computer with the same Apple ID that you used to purchase those apps. Please review the following article for more information:
