How to transfer purchased apps from iPhone to macbook

Hey guys, I'm trying to transfer a couple of apps that I purchased on my iPhone, and I'm trying to get them on my Macbook air without buying them agin. The problem is that I don't know if the method thats been provide for us on apple/support.com is actually working. The method I've been using is plugging my phone up to my macbook and opening iTunes, then going to file> devices> transfer purchases, but nothing seemed to happen. Is there a Specific place or file that the transferred purchases would have been sent to or am I doing it all wrong? P.S the apps that I'm trying to transfer is Garageband, Pages, Numbers, and Key Note.

That method will put the iOS versions of them into the computer's iTunes library. The Mac OS X versions need to be gotten from the Mac App Store.
Mac OS X and iOS are separate architectures.

  • Unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7

    I tried all the solution which been offered from apple support but i still unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7. Please show me what to do =(

    Are you trying to transfer apps to Windows 7 to USE them on Windows 7, or to back up your iPhone? iPhone apps will not run on Windows (OR Mac OS X); they only run on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
    To back up your iPhone, connect the phone to your computer using the cable that came with the phone and a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub. Do not sync.
    Check the account you have on your iPhone by going to Settings/Store. Make sure you are logged in to this same account on your computer, and that the computer is Authorized to this account (check the Store menu).
    Go to the File Menu in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases".
    If you have a problem with any of these steps please let us know exactly what the problem is.

  • How to transfer purchased video from iPhone 3GS to computer?

    Hi all,
    So I just bought an iPhone 3GS, my first iPhone, and I've also done my first purchase of TV shows off of the iTunes store. (Series 2 of Torchwood as well as the recently aired Children of Earth.) I did the initial purchase on the iTunes store from the phone itself, not realizing that I couldn't actually download the episodes onto the device since that'd take ages over the 3G network. But I did see that I could download the HD episodes to my computer and the SD ones onto the device.
    Fine, I think, I'll take my iPhone home and pull the episodes already download off of it onto the computer...
    ... only I can't find any way to do that. I have seen that I can download episodes directly to the computer and sync those down to the iPhone, but this has caused duplication of episodes; for example, I wound up with two copies of episode #3 of series 2 because the one coming in off the computer didn't actually override the one on the phone.
    To further confuse matters, episodes 1 and 2 have vanished off the phone and I can't figure out if this is because I've watched those on the computer...?
    Anybody got any ideas? I'd like to be able to free up space on the phone by pulling the five episodes on it onto my computer, so I won't have to download those twice. Thanks in advance!
    Anna

    Nope, Transfer Purchases didn't work for me at all.
    I wound up emailing Apple Support directly for help and they couldn't give me an answer as to why that wasn't working either. But we did eventually reach a workaround of them unlocking some of the duplicate downloads for me so that I could do them again on my computer, while also deleting the files directly off the iPhone in manual mode. Not an ideal solution, but it did at least give me a way to get all the episodes onto my actual computer.
    Thanks to y'all who've already answered.

  • How to transfer purchased apps from my old iPhone to my new iPhone?

    I have purchased some apps on an old iPhone 2G, but have purchased a iPhone 3G now. I assume I won't have to pay for those apps twice? Does anyone know how i can get them installed on my new phone? (haven't got the phone yet, just want to be prepaired)

    All apps purchased and downloaded via iTunes on your computer, or the same with your iPhone should be available in your iTunes library.
    When syncing the iPhone 3G with iTunes, you select the applications that you want installed on your iPhone 3G under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences. No different from selecting the iTunes content that you want transferred to the iPhone.

    You have to log into iPhone App Store and purchase the iPhone version of the apps. Mac apps only run on Macs, iOS apps only run on iPhone/iPads/iPods.

  • How to transfer all apps from iphone to itunes

    i had recentlu install fresh itunes and now how i can tranfer all data to my itune library...?

    Syncing is one way, computer to iTunes.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the computer to the new computer.
    Attempts to sync an iDevice to an empty library will wipe the content from the device and replace it with content from the new (blank) library.

  • Transfer an app from iPhone to macbook pro air

    I downloaded an app on my phone and when I tried to download the same app on my macbook air it automatically downloaded the link to find the app in the app store. How do I fix it so that I get the app instead of the link?

    iOS and OS X are two completely different operating systems.
    You cannot run iPhone apps on a Mac and you cannot run Mac apps on an iPhone.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from one mac to the other?

    When i want to sync my iPhone in iTunes on my new computer I will lose all of the apps that I purchased.
    Can someone tell me how to sync it in a way (or some other solution) so I can keep my purchased apps? 
    I'm using the same ID as on old mac.
    I have been searching on the internet for help, but I can't find a clear answer.
    Thanks in advance.

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    btw, purchased apps can be redownloaded over and over free of charge ...

    Apps designed for iOS do not run on OS X....
    But... media files should still run if that's that you mean.

    Hi Janelh,
    I also confused about this, I can't do that by myself I don't know the reason. I search it and see phone transfer tool needed. However what is the best tool? Maybe copy data from old iPhone to pc first? Just to see here:  how about it?

  • How to transfer purchased item from itunes to an ipod

    how to transfer purchased item from itunes to an ipod? Spent about an hour and cannot figure out how to do that The best result this far was smth. like this to Sync a book means that all your music, songs, TV show and movies will be erased. What a strange Apple logic!

    That message indicate that you are trying to sync with other than the one syncing computer/iTunes library that yo can have. You have to two choices:
    - Make this computer your syncing computer by:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    - The manual method of syncng specified here:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    or
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    The manaul method on works for music and videos on other than your one syncing computer.
