Moving my apps to new iTunes

I recently bought a new laptop, and wanted to sync my iPod with the new iTunes library. I managed to put all my music to the new iTunes by using a flashdrive (177 songs) and I used 'Transfer Purchases' but it only moved my iBooks and TV shows, not my apps. My old laptop has an apps tab, but this iTunes doesn't. How are my apps going to be moved, how I can do it? The majority are free, but I did pay for some. I don't want to lose any of them.
Thanks in advance.

..so confusing. ahh the the only thing I need is my apps

Synching Apps with new iTunes Library

My ongoing saga with iTunes continues - I've managed to get it running again by deleting the preference files and creating a new library. Of course, now it doesn't list any of my songs, movies, tv shows, or apps.
As a first step I'm trying to sync my iPhone without losing $100 worth of apps. I copied the "Mobile Applications" folder from the old iTunes library to the new iTunes library, but that has no affect. If I try to right-click on the iPhone in iTunes and select "Transfer Purchases", iTunes immediately crashes.
Any other suggestions on how I can sync my iPhone with the new iTunes library without deleting all my apps?

That actually started to work and then around the 5th app iTunes crashed.
Since my earlier posts I've once again removed and reinstalled iTunes and related programs, and even deleted all the Apple Computer appdata folders so this would supposedly be an ENTIRELY clean install. And still it doesn't work....
Does Apple offer any tech support for iTunes beyond useless e-mails to articles I've already tried? They like to claim they have such great tech support on their hardware, but my various gadgets are useless without iTunes and they seem to offer no support for that.

Up graded to windows 7 need my apps in new itunes

I installed windows 7 on my computer is there anyway to get all the stuff i had in my old itunes to transfer to my new itunes. i backed up everything on old hard drive. i want all my apps that were on the old itunes on my new one.

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
Then back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Can I avoid paying (again) for apps on new iTunes account for child?

So, my wife and I bought our daughter an iPod Touch for Christmas and have decided that it is time for her to get her own iTunes account. The problem is, there are so many apps that we've downloaded for her on our iPad and iPhones over the years that we just don't want to have to pay for them again under her iTunes account. Is there a way, either through Home Sharing or some other means, to redownload them or transfer them from our devices into her iTunes account without deleting them from our devices since her account has nothing?

You can't transfer any content to a different account, those apps will remain tied to the account that bought them. As long as they are on the computer's iTunes that she syncs to then she should be able to continue to use them (but only your account will be able to download updates to them). If they are not on the computer that she will be syncing to then you should be able to copy them over to it either via home sharing (copying between computers), or you could copy them via , for example, a flash drive (you can find where they are stored on your computer by right-clicking one of them in the Apps part of your iTunes library and selecting 'show in explorer) and then add them to the new computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library (you will need to have authorised your account on that computer's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option).
If she will be syncing the iPod to a new computer then you might find this page helpful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How to upload files in ipad apps using new iTunes?

After iTunes 11.0.0.163, the interface has changed so much that it is difficult to do even regular operations with windows pcs. How do we transfer files from pc to ipad using iTunes? Any help pl?

Sorry to come back, though I could now see the side bar and app menu, it only gives the option to remove the app through a button against each app. In earlier version if I double click a particular app, it will open up a dialogue box asking for add files and one could drag drop files from pc to iTunes.
This is not happening now. So the problem still remains unresolved.
Any help pl!

Lost apps after new itunes and iphone upgrade

had my iphone for 4 months now without a problem. unfortunately my old laptop died a couple of months ago. today i got another one and first thing to do was download itunes and back up my iphone. all seemed to go well, itunes was downloaded and installed and iphone was supposedly sync'd and the update was then being applied. unfortunately the iphone then went to apple logo then connect to itunes with no swipe and was no longer visible to my computer. after 10 minutes it finally became visible and said it needed a restore. this went ahead without a problem then it said it needed to sync, at this point another error came uo
i tried again and this time the sync took place but no apps were added. luckily all my photos were saved so it wasnt too bad but i am extremely unhappy that i cannot access my purchased apps and despite store having a record of purchases, it says i have to pay again. will i be charged?

You could pull the hard drive from the old laptop, put it in an enclosure or get a usb connection device for hard drives and copy the apps over from there. If the old hard drive is still functional?
I don't think you are charged to redownload apps either. Try one then check your account to see if you are charged.

New iTunes for managing apps

Dislaimer: I am NOT an experience iTunes user!
Question: How do I see my devices in a way I can manage the apps on them in the new iTunes?
Background:
I updated my iTunes yesterday to 11.01.12, the "new, even better" one.
I understand it makes my music experience that much better...but I don't really have any music.
About the only thing I want to do with iTunes is see what apps I have, re-arrange them (from one screen to another on my actual device), etc.
The main reason for this is that I'm trying to migrate from my iPod Touch 4 to iPhone 5, and for some reason, when I did the back-up, it only moved over native apps, not anything I'd downloaded. So I can drag and drop them from the apps screen when I can see my devices.
But there's the rub. When I first plug in my devices (to my computer), I can see them. But as the new iTunes doesn't seem at all user-friendly to me, I can't figure out how to see the devices (and it won't show them unless I unlock them first with my PW..a problem I never had before! The first image below is what I see when I first plug them in (no idea why it only recognised one device this time, they both just got plugged in). If I click on the iPod button, sometimes it will take me to a screen where I can actually see what's on my iPod, but sometimes it just goes straight back to the list of Apps -- and I can no longer see how to get back to my device -- see in the second image, the button is gone!
Is there a way to go back to an older version of iTunes?
Or another place I can go in iTunes to see my devices when I want, without having to have them re-sync all the time?
Thanks!

Click on black arrow in Search box and untick Search Entire Library
Should look and work like iTunes 10
Your devices will show up in the left hand panel

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

HT1918 why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?

why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?( My current account won't let me change my address to canada so my billing address for account is incorrect, making it impossible for me to buy anything). Will it affect what I am able to put on my device i.e. already downloaded apps, music, etc?

If i create a new itunes on a new computer and then connect my iphone to it will it clear my phone or simply copy all apps and items to the new itunes?

Do not create a new iTunes account... accounts cannot be merged.
Install iTunes on the new computer.
Syncing of iDevices does not import content to a computer, the sync is one way from computer to iDevice.

TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wi-fi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet nev    er works and it is always loading. i dont understand as it is a brand new ipad.

my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:
