How do I transfer apps from my phone to iTunes on my PC?

I would like to transfer the apps from my iPhone to my Itunes on my computer so I have them saved in two locations. I did this a long time ago but I can't remember how. My iTunes on my computer only shows 63 of the 72 apps that I have, and some of the apps that it shows are apps that I have long since deleted from my phone. What can I do so the apps that show in iTunes are the same as on my phone? Thank you!

All 3rd party apps on your iPhone - that were on your iPhone that was exchanged/replaced should be in your iTunes library on your computer along with all other iTunes content that was on the iPhone.
If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes which should be selected for several reasons, after downloading an app with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
When connecting a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer that was being used to sync with another iPhone, you should be prompted to transfer the backup for the previous iPhone to the new iPhone as the very first step. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes to transfer your selected iTunes content from your iTunes library to your iPhone - music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, and 3rd party apps.

  • How do I transfer apps from my iphone to iTunes when I've reinstalled my pc

    Hi,
    'because of issues with my PC, i had to reinstall it. I transfered
    my apps and music to an external hard drive, and transfered it back to my PC later on. Anyway, I had some apps that I didn't copy to my PC before the "reinstallation"
    so my question is: How can I keep those apps when syncronizing my iphone to itunes now?

    Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu). Connect your phone, Store>Authorize this Computer, then File>Transfer Purchases.

  • How do I transfer apps from my old phone (4) to my new phone (4s)?

    How do I transfer apps from my old phone (4) to my new iphone (4s)?

    Hi,
    If you have synced all your apps onto iTunes then when you sync head to Apps and tick the Sync all apps box.
    Failing that you can use a laborious process of going through your apps and re-downloading them for free (using same apple account) onto your new iPhone.
    Hope that helps.
    PS. You should've waited for the iPhone 5 to come out!

    How do I transfer apps from my macbook to my iphone?

    Mac Applications do not run on iOS: iPhones, iPads, or iPod touch. And the reverse is also true.
    If the manufacturer wants to, they can port their Application to the other platform and offer it for sale there as well.
    To download IOS Applications directly to your iOS device, connect it to a WiFi Access Point. You do not need to have the version with a Phone plan. An iPad (WiFi only) will do what you desire directly, no phone plan. iPad Mini might be good for field work.

    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 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 do i transfer notes from one phone to another

    I would recommend just backing up your old phone & then restoring the new one from that backup if you are planning to sell/give away the old one. Do NOT restore that phone until you're sure everything is on your new one, though, just in case!
    If you have 2 phones and want the same Notes on both, syncing via iCloud is probably better.
