How do I transfer an app from my iphone to itunes?

So I have bought a couple of apps on my iphone and would like to transfer them to my itunes library, but not sure how.
When I plug in my iphone and try and sync the two, I get a warning from itunes that everything on my iphone will be wiped and everything from my itunes library will be moved to it. That is not what I want to do.
Is there a resolution to that?
How do I keep my apps?I am very concerned about loosing my apps?
I am getting ready to receive a new iphone and want to make sure I can transfer all my apps from my old phone to my new phone.
Any suggestions and help?
Thanks.

Have you changed the computer you are syncing with?

  • How to I transfer my apps from my iPhone to my new computer (iTunes 11)

    Hi all,
    I just bought a new computer and I installed the latest version of iTunes on it (iTunes 11). But now I don't know how I can transfer my apps from my iTunes into my new iTunes library. I don't want to download them all again in the iTunes Store while they are installed on my iPhone!
    Any solutions would be great!

    Connect the device to your PC and launch iTunes. Press Ctrl+S to show the Sidebar. Find your device name in the Sidebar and right-click then select Transfer Purchases.

    How do I transfer voice memos from my iPhone5 to iTunes?

    In the Sync settings area of iTunes when the phone is connected, you check the Music area, and check off Voice Memos too. I'm not sure right now what the exact verbiage is but it is where you check off what music you want to sync.

  • TS1702 how do i transfer saved apps from my Iphone 4S to my Iphone 5S?

    How do I locate and transfer apps that were saved when I traded my Iphone 4s for my Iphone 5S?

    Hi SVGuy54,
    Here's the information on transferring purchases to a new device.
    If you remove and reinstall an app, or install an app on a new device, you'll keep your non-consumable purchases, but you might lose your consumable purchases. For example, if you install a game from your iPhone on your iPod touch, the game levels will sync, but not the extra ammo or experience points.
    That from:
    Make in-app purchases
    So I guess it depends the app.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I transfer new apps from my iphone without replacing apps I don't want?

    When you sync your iPhone you sometimes get the following message:
    Itunes has found purchased items on the iphone thats arenot present in your itunes library.
    There are two reasons for this:
    1. I have deleted apps in iTunes that I don't want, but not on the iPhone. I don't want to transfer the apps back to iTunes because I want them gone.
    2. I have bought apps on the iPhone that I do want to keep. I want these transferred to iTunes.
    So if I have both types 1 and 2 then there is no good answer. Preferably iTunes should offer to sync and choose which apps to transfer and what not to transfer. Is there a way to change this behaviour? By the time I sync I don't know what I've done so I'm usually not sure how to answer the question. Sometimes I like to bulk delete apps in iTunes--it is easier than doing it on the iPhone.
    Thanks in advance.

    "Is there a way to change this behaviour? "
    No.

  • How Can I Transfer an app from my iPad to iTunes?

    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I have searched the threads and not been able to find any help.
    My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
    I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
    You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
    But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4.

  • How do I transfer voice memos from my iPhone to iTunes so it can be viewed offline?

    Hello
    I am struggling to find a way to transfer and save it on my iTunes (on my iMac) many voice memos (some up to 11 minutes long) and yet I can see the voice memos on iTunes via my plugged in iPhone. But unfortunately cannot find a way to save it on iTunes for offline listening so I can send it by email. (It was deemed too long to send by email from the iPhone anyway so was forced to try and save it on iTunes instead)
    Any ideas?
    (iPhone 4, iOS 6 and iTunes 11)

    1. Connect your iPhone to your computer
    2. Click the name of your iPhone under Devices in the left column
    3. Click the Music tab
    4. Click the checkbox for Include voice memos
    5. Sync your device as usual
    6. Your files will appear under a new Voice Memos playlist
    7. Right-click on a memo for more options about this file or to gain access to the actual audio file.
    If you have trouble with iTunes syncing the voice memos add these steps.
    - Unplug iPhone from the computer after the failed sync
    - In iTunes, select File –> Library –> Organize Library –> Consolidate files
    - Plug in the iPhone & sync again. from here
    Of course the other thing you can do, is to email the memo files and then open those with your computer and safe them as an audio file. Hope this helps, good luck

  • HT204053 How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

    If you need to keep the app data, i would suggest making an icloud backup, then restoring from that backup onto the new phone
    if you don't need to app data, you can transfer the purchases to itunes on a computer and sync them to your new phone, or you can just go on your new phone to app store > updates > purchased > then click the clouds next to each app to download them to the phone

  • HT1414 how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    Which apps? The iPhone apps you have selected/purchased on the iPhone App Store thru iTunes?
    Or the apps installed on the Mac?
    For the first case, simply connect the phone, start up iTunes if it doesn't do so on its own accord, click on your phone's entry on the list in the left column, select the Summary tab to make sure all is well, then click on the Sync button on the bottom edge of the screen. If you want, you can click on the Apps tab and arrange your applications how you like them prior to the sync, too.
    If the second case, no can do. iPhone apps run on iPhones, Mac apps run on Macs.
