IPhone isn't transferring purchases to my itunes account since I've updated to OS 4.3.5

I updated my OS on Tuesday, and now I can't transfer purchases (be it music or apps) from my iPhone to iTunes on my PC.  Now iTunes/ my PC sees my phone, and when I hit "transfer purchases" it even goes through the "sync in process" motions, but no music is transferred. 
I'm afraid to restore my phone, fearing I may lose the songs I've purchased this week.
I've had one iPhone or another for at least three years, and this is the first time I've had this issue.  I've read other post where people claim 4.3.5 could not have caused an issue like this because it was only a minor security update.  But like I said, I didn't have this issue until Tuesday when I updated.

If you have the iPhone 3G, 4.2.1 is the end of the line.  You can't update and you can't get the app.

    Okay, that means with the latest iOS software, it requires the latest version of iTunes on the computer. Which computer OS platform are you using. Now you are saying that after downloading the latest version of iTunes that your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes? Completely different thing, and the iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with that anyway. The iTunes on the iPhone is just for purchases.
    If you are having trouble with the iPhone being recognized by iTunes, use the appropriate link for your computer OS for assistance.

  • HT4623 can i update my iphone 4s to ios6.1 without transferred purchased items to itunes library as its aking to do but i cant?

    is there any risk of updating my iphone4s to ios6.1 without transferred purchased items to itunes library?

    If something goes wrong with the process, you will need to re-download all music and any movies or tv shows purchased from the iTunes store and the same for all apps - one by one.

  • When I got my iPhone 4S and transferred my music from iTunes, some songs didn't transfer, some transferred partially. Any help? Thanks.

    When I got my iPhone 4S and transferred my music from iTunes, some songs transferred, some didn't, some only partially. Any help? Thanks.

    If you're having trouble syncing your music and you're syncing music automatically (not manually) check the following items:
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything above is correct sync your phone and your music should transfer.

    iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

    how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

    You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
    you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

  • How to back up phone with apps purchased with multiple iTunes accounts

    It's a long story, but my iPhone has apps that were purchased through multiple iTunes account. 
    Is it possible to create a backup of my phone that accounts for all of these apps?  Last time I tried backup in iTunes, it only backed up the apps purchased with that particular iTunes account, but not others.
    Should something happen to my iPhone and I need to restore/clone my phone, I want all my apps -- regardless of whose iTunes account was used to purchase them -- to be restored.
    Any quick and easy way for this?

    The backup does not include any apps. It only includes the list and arrangement of apps; which are then reloaded when you sync after restoring.

    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?
    You should never update without making sure your backup copy of your computer is up to date.

  • I am transferring to a new itunes account

    - I know how to use the transfer apps tab but will it also pull through all the purchase history (useful if it does because I often delete and then reinstall apps!).  It helps with memory management this way but the point is does transferring to a new itunes account only transfer current apps or let you have a record of the old apps purchased as well?   Thanks all!!!

    You can't "transfer" any purchased iTunes content from one iTunes account to another. That's basically merging iTunes accounts, which cannot be done at the present.

  • HT4847 Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account

    Just got a second iPad for the home.
    Can I have multiple users's family devices backed up to the cloud e.g. 2 iPhones and 2 iPads under the same iTunes account?

    Yes, but it's not usually recommended to share an iCloud account within a family.  If you do, any data you sync with iCloud will be merged and you, for example, will end up with each other's contacts and calendars on your devices.  Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting a contact) will be replicated on the other devices.  You will also all be sharing the same 5GB of free storage for all your data and device backups.
    Normally it's best to use separate iCloud accounts for each person's devices.  This will keep your data separated, and allow each person to have their own free 5GB of storage.  You can continue to share the same iTunes ID within the family; the ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the one your use for iTunes purchasing.  (Each person should also use a separate ID on their devices for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.)

  • Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, if you mean you want to transfer a purchase from one iTunes Store account to another, you cannot.
    Regards.

  • Transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another

    Can I transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another? I bought some apps using my dad's account and now I have my own so can I transfer them to mine?

    No.
    You can try contacting itunes support to see if they can do this, not sure.

  • Transferring apps from one itunes account to another

    I bought the original IPad from a family member, so it was set up with there ITunes account and all of the apps that are on it. I would like to transfer everything that is currently on the IPad over to my computer with my ITunes account, without having to reset the IPad and purchase all of the apps all over again. I need to manage my IPad through my computer and ITunes account, not the one it was originally set up under.
    I have managed to do this with an IPod, so I can imagine it would be possible with an IPad.

    Not trying to doubt you or anything but you probably did something else with the iPod such as use 2 accounts simultaneously in which case you would have to log out and in each time you needed to update

  • Is there anyway to transfer purchases from one Itunes account to another?

    So I have had an itunes account since I was about 13. So the email I used for it was a really old one. I'm older now and I have a new email account that I used for everything. I don't check the old one, and I may forget the password to the old email account which would then cause a problem if I forget my apple ID. So is there any way to take all the songs and apps I have accumulated over the years and put it on to my new email? Any suggestions would help.

    Not automatically, unless of course you buy your music from Apple.
