Is there a way to transfer applications from the iphone to pc w/o syncing

So my hard drive failed and I didn't have a back up of itunes. I was easily able to get songs and video by opening up my ipod video as a hard drvie through explorer. BUT...
My applications aren't on the ipod. I tried going in backwards in the iphone but I couldn't figure out how to. I can get almost all of the apps from the app store because they don't charge you to re-download applications but I have one that isn't in the app store anymore. Anyway for me to get that off the iphone onto my computer?
Thanks for all your help!

Isn't it nice when there's an easy solution? Thanks for the !

  • Is there a way to transfer songs from the iPhone 4s to PC without first erasing and syncing everything? The CD's were stolen and the only copy is currently on my iPhone.

    Here's the order which things occured.
    New iPhone 4S
    Synched to computer, everything is cool.
    Computer explodes, new HD purchased
    Itunes empty, everything is on phone.
    Download whatever was purchased off itunes (1000+ songs)
    Still missing bout 400 songs from CD's
    INSULT TO INJURY TIME:
    CD's stolen. Only copy is on iphone.
    When I try to sync to my computer (manually or otherwise) it wants to erase everything and put only what's on my PC.
    What are my options to save the 400+ songs from my CD's that are still stored on my iphone?
    Please advise, thanks!

    I have all my whole iTunes library backed up in mp3 format on a hard drive, as well as all my CDs backed up in full quality format (FLAC) on other hard drives.  If somebody steals my CDs I can always burn them again in full quality format (many of mine are from small bands that no longer exist and are irreplaceable otherwise).  Bottom line -- it is worth spending a few bucks on backup drives if you are serious about your collection.
    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • HT1473 My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes

    My laptop hard drive crashed and I lost my ringtones, but they're still on my iPhone.  If I sync my iPhone with the reimaged hard drive, I'll lose the ringtones from my iPhone.  Is there any way to transfer ringtones from my iPhone back into iTunes?

    Thanks, but ringtones not purchased from iTunes, created them just before computer crashed.just before the next scheduled biweekly backup.
    I found and downloaded TouchCopy 12 for PC and was able to copy the ringtones from my iPhone to my Windows laptop very easily.  It also enables you to transfer photos, memos, voice messages, etc.

  • Is there any way to transfer music from my iphone 4s to my new itunes library?

    A few weeks ago i tried to clear up some space on my laptop and deleted all my music from my computer (I didnt think about backing it up), and while i was trying to do this i messed up my itunes and had to reinstall it. When i did this i lost all of my music, and i was wondering if there was any way at all i could transfer the music from my iphone or ipod to my laptop? Thanks

  • Is there a way to transfer photos from an iPhone 4S to a flash drive (via MacBook, of course)?  There are way more photos in iPhoto than just what is on my phone, and I really just want to have a flash drive of "iPhone 4S photos."

    I know how to move things from iPhoto to a flash drive, but I'm hoping there is a simpler way to get the photos from my phone to a flash drive, because there are so many photos in iPhotos that I don't need on the flash drive.
    Thanks

    There isnt a simple way.  You could create a whole new libaray, move all your pictures to that, then move the libaray to a flash drive.
    From what you have said, can you not just create an album/event and move all your iPhone photos into that.  That would seperate it from the rest of your content, then as part of that process delete all the photos imported off of your iPhone..... just an idea

  • Is there any way to recover photos from the iPhone, which is in the       recovery mode? Maybe take it apart?

    My iPhone is in recovery mode. Is there nay chance to get photos from it?

    I know this is an old post but in case anyone reading this is in the same position as I was today, I was most grateful to read the existence of FonePaw that enabled me to rescue over 1,000 photos when my iphone 5 went into recovery mode during a failed upgrade:
    http://www.fonepaw.com/mac-iphone-data-recovery/installation.html
    It worked perfectly and my iphone is now backing up to my Mac as I'm writing this post.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • Is there a way to transfer music from my iPhone to my iTunes library on my computer

    Please let me know if this is possible. I really dont want to loose the music that I have purchased on my iPhone. Thank you!

    Yes, this is certainly possible. You can use iPhone Explorer and install it on your computer; it's free.

  • Is there any way to transfer music from the old iTunes to iPhone 5S?

    I am still using my old macbook, version 10.6.?? (forgotten), I don't intend to upgrade the OS X, since everything is working fine. So the iTunes in it is also the older version, since my software doesn't support the new version of iTunes. And thus, I can't get my music into the iPhone 5S that I've just bought. Any kind souls that can help me with this?

    Update to Mac OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.1.3.

  • Is there a way to transfer files from the recent tab to the Local tab on iPad?

    t

    Hi,
    The Recent section shows the recently opened files at all locations (Local, Document Cloud, and Creative Cloud).  Your files are already stored on your iPad (Local) or in the cloud (Document Cloud or Creative Cloud).
    If you would like to download your cloud files to your iPad and store them for a long period of time (semi-permanently), please take a look at my reply in the following discussion.

    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to transfer songs from a Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes,only accepted 1400 of the songs. MP3 player was full.  I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed order.

    The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic. 
    Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?

  • Is there a way to transfer files from a mac-book to another computer?

    I need to get files off of my damaged Macbook and I'm not sure how to do it. Is there a way to transfer files from my macbook to another computer? The damage is to the screen of my macbook and it is severe- you can only see the top left of screen, the rest is cracked/blacked out. Is there anything I can do?

    If the MacBook has a FireWire port, hook it and the other computer up with a FireWire cable, start up the MacBook with the T key held down, and copy the files off.
