How do I transfer purchases in iTunes 12

Question

I finally figured out how to look at the device, my iPhone. with that silly icon row across the top.
I went to do a full back up of my phone and found two issues. One is a gui oversight.. can't really call it a bug.. just a cancel or exit is missing on a pop up window.
AND
I can't find the link that has always been there on the right click menu that allows transferring purchases from your device to iTunes on your computer.
It's simply gone. There is no right click. there is no link in a menu item at the top of the iTunes applilcation.
I went to do a backup and got a message that said that I could back them up, but if I Was transerring my backup to a new device (which I will be if I update to the iPhone 6) then iTunes won't install those apps unless they've been downloaded to iTunes. I was presented two choices, back up with or without those apps.
Here is where I Found the second problem... There was no way to change my mind at this point and NOT backup at all. There should be a third choice.. of cancel or  a little exit icon at the top right, but there wasn't. SO instead of going and figuring out how to transfer those apps... I had to wait and wait and wait for a backup (which I"m going to have to redo anyway after I Figure out how to transfer those apps completes). Then go transfer and then redo the backup.
So right now, I need to know how to transfer my purchases to the iTunes on my computer... anyone?
and second, I think a bug report needs to be filed for a missing cancel/exit button on that popup.
And third.. I think I need a stiff drink so I can relax... I"m staring to think the whole Quality Assurance dept died with Steve Jobs. Sad to see something he worked so hard to grow and give a culture of excellence too.. not live on without him. sad. really sad. Here is a toast to the glory days of old Apple.

Answer 1

Apple buried the transfer purchases option, but it's still there. To transfer purchases from your iOS device in iTunes:
Select the device toward the top-middle of iTunes (underneath the status area/progress bar/Apple logo).
Go to the File menu.
Select Devices
Click on Transfer Purchases from [DeviceName]...
