Hi. I'm trying to transfer purchases to update my iphone but the suggested options are either greyed out or don't exist. How do I transfer purchases?

Just to clarify - When I follow the instructions to "transfer purchases from iphone to computer" prior to updating my iphone the options suggested are greyed out. The Transfer Purchases option under Devices in the File menu is greyed out. Can anyone explain why its greyed out and how I can make the option available?

Downgrading to an earlier iOS version is not supported by Apple. You will get no help with this direct from Apple or here.

I am trying to restore my iph 4S because my email account is frozen and the Genius Bar's reboot did not fix the problem. When I click restore I get a message that says "there are purchased items on the iphone that have not been transferred to your iTunes

iTunes on your computer will Automatically do the work for you.

Message says to transfer purchased items to iTunes, but I've synched!

I just clicked the Update button for 3.2.2 and I got the strange message--
"There are purchased items on your iPad that have not been transfered to your iTunes library."
I do not understand. I had just synched it. I synched a second time, no change! Same message. Which includes
"You should transfer these items to iTunes."
I thought that's what synching was for! Would appreciate any suggestions on this.
If this helps, I did notice that Books on the iPad include several that are not on the iTunes book tab. They were freebies downloaded from Google Books. Several are PDFs, IIRC.

Also, IIRC, several of them are from Project Gutenberg.
Well, what do you know? First, I discovered that iTunes now has a Home Sharing feature, which I am presuming established a network between our iPad and the MBP. That didn't work.
But then I discovered under File, the commend "Transfer purchases from iPad [name of iPad]".
That fixed the problem!
I am still baffled, though. Synching does not transfer all purchased items from the iPad! I always thought it did. Sync Books says it will remove all music, songs, TV shows, etc. from iPad, so that's not an option. And the Home Sharing seems to be one way--only to the iPad.
I hope someone can enlighten me about this. I'll bet I've missed some settings somewhere that could fix each of these!

I am not able to download Itunes to my desktop PC, but I need to look at the Itunes purchases I have made. How do I do that?

How can I check my Itunes purchases even though I am not able to download Itunes to my PC desktop?

and another problem is I have never received the email confirmations of my purchases

This means that either your firewall/antivirus is blocking access to Apple's servers, or you have used your computer to jailbreak an iDevice in the past. The link above tells you how to resolve this issue.

I'm trying to update my iphone but it stuck up ..... I tried to recover it but to no avail... it says error 1015..... help pls..

I'm trying to update my iphone but it stuck up ..... I tried to recover it but to no avail... it says error 1015, wht should I do???

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state. Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.
Resolution
Try these steps first
To perform some of these steps, you need to be logged in to the computer as an administrator. If you are not sure if you have administrator access, contact the owner of the computer or the system administrator.
Note: If necessary, review the steps for restoring your iOS device.
You can resolve most restore errors by following these basic steps:

1. Update to the latest version of iTunes
2. Verify that your operating system is up to date
3. Disconnect other USB devices
4. Check security settings
5. Restart your computer

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.
