How do I transfer app purchases on my iPhone to my itunes library on a Windows machine?

I'm on Windows 8.1 and using iTunes 11.1.5.
I  was just going to update my phone from iTunes and I got a messege  saying (paraphrased), "There are apps on this phone that aren't in your iTunes  library. You should transfer all app purchases to your iTunes library  before continuing." I decided to just download without updating, but now  I'm wondering, how do I transfer app purchases to my computer?
Supposedly  (according to mac users who I've seen post this in this community) they  get a dialog when they plug their phone in asking them if they want to  transfer their app purchases or if they want to synch their phone. I  only get the option to synch my phone. So, how can I transfer my app  purchases into my iTunes library? (I know how to back the phone up, I  don't think that's the same thing).
Thanks!

The iTunes source list is where you select things like your Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, AudioBooks in your iTunes library, and where your iTunes playlists for music is located.
Selecting your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list is how you make your various selections for syncing content with iTunes on your computer.

    Hello iTouch questions,
    This can be done by choosing the File menu in iTunes (if it doesn't appear, you may need to hit the 'Alt' button on your keyboard, it will appear at the top of the window), then Devices, then Transfer Purchases.
    After connecting your device to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, go to the File menu, then Devices, and choose Transfer Purchases from "(Your device name)".

    I just purchased an iMac.  How can I use apps purchased on my iPhone and iPad on my new laptop?

    1) Congratulations on purchaing an iMac. But an iMac is not considered a laptop.
    2) Apps you bought for you iPhone and iPad can interchange with each other, but can NOT run on an Imac or a MacBook.
    You will have to buy the same title again from the Mac App Store. When you do, you can run them on your iMac and your MacBook.

    There is no need to "buy" appliclations again.  You can backup your old phone to iCloud and restore the backup to the new phone.  You can also re-download them for free from the App Store.

  • How can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating

    how can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating ?

    According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie or TV show on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    So I assume that you cannot use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them to your computer (though there is no harm in trying)

    I have an old apple id which is linked to a gmail account.  I have made many purchases from it.  I would like to make a new account, how can i transfer the purchases from the old account to the new one?
    Thanks

    This is not possible... Anything Obtained with a Particular ID is tied to that ID...

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    how do i transfer apps from iphone 4 to iphone 5 please can anyone help?  

    In order to transfer your photos from your old iPhone 4 to a brand new iPhone 5, you should transfer them form your iPhone 4 to your Mac first, thus you can transfer them from your computer to your iPhone 5 later, in this way, you can make it true to transfer photos from your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5.

  • I can't transfer songs purchased on my iphone 3gs through itunes to my windows 7 pc. I've done it in the past, but now I can't. What should I do?

    I have a iPhone 3gs and I purchased 30 songs and an audio book on my iphone through itunes.  I manage my own songs on my PC's itunes.  I tried to drag and drop my legally purchased songs and audiobook onto the itunes library on my PC.  It will not allow me to do this.  When I purchase songs on my PC through itunes, I can drag and drop songs to the iphone, but it won't allow me to do it from phone to pc.  I checked a number of sites trying to find an answer.  Many of them recommend updating the itunes version.  I started to do this, but at the beginning of the update it said I might lose files on my iphone since they weren't transferred to my PC library.  I stopped the upgrade, because past upgrades have wiped out all songs, ringtones, books and apps from my phone.  (The phone and PC are all authorized.) Could someone please tell me a simple straightforward way to copy the phone files onto my pc via itunes? 

    When conntecting to a public Wi-Fi conenction, here's what you do. I'll use the public Wi-Fi for Starbucks as an example. Turn on the Wi-Fi adapter on your Mac and choose "attwifi". When it connects, open your Web browser. You'll then be re-directed to a screen where you need to accept the terms and agreements when using the connection. Once you agree to the terms and agreements, you'll be granted access and you can surf the Internet.

  • HT1848 How do you transfer music thats on your iphone to your music library I can't figure it out, I authorized the computer but there is no music in the library.

    I'm trying to transfer mu music that's not in my itunes library from my iphone 4. But I can't seem to figure it out I authorized my computer. But I am getting a new iphone so i want to put the music on my computer so when I get my new iphone I can transfer it back.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is based on you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive.  I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

    I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music.  I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad.  How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?
