Purchased app from iPhone won't transfer to iTunes

I purchased an app on my iPhone and now every time I sync, it starts off with:
Transferring purchases from "iPhone", Copying (app)
The progress bar get about 10% and then it moves on to the next task such as installing new apps or syncing contacts. It does this EVERY TIME. I go to File->Transfer Purchases and it says the same thing above, hits 10%, and stops. I never get an error message. The app doesn't show up on my "Applications" in the library nor does it show on the "Applications" tab for manual syncing. I can't re-download the app via iTunes because iTunes doesn't realized I purchased it and wants to charge me again.
My phone is not Jailbroken and I'm running 2.0.2, although I have been getting many 0xE800002E errors lately and have had to sync apps manually for a while and I'm afraid of losing my purchased app should I ever have to do a wipe and restore.

My wife just received an email from Apple Tech Support. Please see excerpt below:
+"Because you have already purchased "Texas Hold'em", you may download it+
+again at no charge, either from your device or using iTunes on your+
computer.
+Be sure that you are signed in to the same iTunes Store account that you+
+used to purchase the application originally, and follow the steps to+
+purchase it again. You will be notified that you have already purchased the+
+item and can download it again for free."+
So... she went to download it again from iTunes. At first it didn't recognize that she had already purchased it, but by the confirmation stage it did state that she already purchased it and gave the option to download again at not charge. She went ahead and did this for Texas Hold Em and several other apps that she purchased originally from her phone. All is now in sync on both her iTunes and iPhone.
I'm assuming this is a bug that will probably get corrected in a future release.

  • 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 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.

  • Syncing removes purchased apps from iPhone

    Can anyone tell me how to stop purchased apps just disappearing from my iPhone when I sync with my laptop? Thanks!

    Know the frustration. I have authorised iTunes and unticked "Sync Applications" in the iTunes "Applications" tab, but when I try to sync "Photos" on my iPhone I get the warning that the apps on my iPhone will be deleted and replaced with the current iPhone apps in iTunes. Doesn't give me this warning for other categories I've disabled for syncing like music, video, etc.

  • How do I delete a purchased app from iPhone 6 iOS 8?

    In trying desperately to sync Microsoft Office Outlook contacts for iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1 with my PC, I noted on the sync page that I needed to download Microsoft Outlook on my phone. I did so, installed it, only to learn that it does not work for "msn email accounts".
    So, now how do I delete this useless app from my iPhone 6?

    Read this: iPhone User Guide - Support - Apple
    Page 116.  Or search for 'delete an app' in that document.

  • Transferring purchased apps from iPhone to iTunes

    I can't seem to get all my applications from my iPhone into iTunes -- only a handful of them actually show up.
    I tried "transfer purchases," and it appears to copy them, but they're nowhere to be found in iTunes.
    Any ideas?

    I should clarify: iTunes in the cloud for music is not available in my country. It is of course available for apps.

  • Purchased app on iPhone - disappeared when synced with itunes

    I purchased an app on my phone a couple weeks ago. Today I synced with iTunes on my PC and the app disappeared from my phone and does not appear in the list of apps in iTunes. "Check for available downloads" in iTunes said that I had no available downloads. The purchase of the app did show up in my purchase history, but that seemed to be the only place.
    I was able to get the app back by attempting to purchase it again, at which point iTunes allowed me to download it again for free. However, all of the application data is still gone. And since I synced more than once in this process, the initial iPhone backup (which should have contained all that was lost) has now been overwritten.
    This has happened to me several times before, but this is the first time where the application data has been important.
    Any ideas as to what went wrong?
    Is there any hope for me to recover my application data at this point?
    Any way for me to prevent this happening again? (short of never syncing...)

    I doubt very much that you can recover the data at this point. The safe way to do things (I found for me at least) is download apps initially via iTunes instead of your phone, then mark them for syncing and do the normal sync. I purchased all of my apps this way and sync several times a week with no problem. I also do all the app updates thru iTunes.

  • Voice memos from iPhone4 won't transfer to iTunes

    I cannot move the voice memos on my iPhone 4  into iTune (10.7).  I have recently upgraded to my operating system to Mountain Lion so that I can use iCloud, but this was happening before that. 

    Did you check under music, that is where voice memos goes, when you sync your phone to itunes.  also check that you have voice memo check in itunes.

  • Updated Apps on iPhone 5 doesn't update iTunes 11.

    Before iTunes 11 whenever I updated an App on my iPhone's and then sync iTunes it will update the same App in iTunes to the most current version. Now with iTunes 11 if update an App to the most current version and sync my iPhone with iTunes it runs the sync process but that App or Apps does not update automatically. Which makes have to go into my App section in iTunes and click on "Updates Available" which will show me the same App i've already updated on my iPhone but couldn't update on iTunes via Sync. Is anyone els

    Hi,
    I found the solution for this problem somewhere else I can't remember where because I read so many posts and tried so many things.
    I don't know what criteria Apple iTunes 11 is using to sync apps with iphone and ipad, but I don't think it is only with updated apps. I downloaded an app I didn't have in my iTunes Library, used it for a while, then updated it through Appstore in the iphone, and it was synced with iTunes...
    Well, to transferr ALL your apps from iPhone or iPad to your iTunes Library do the following:
    1. Conect your device to iTunes.
    2. Click on the iPhone or iPad once it appears on the left.
    (My iTunes is in Portuguese, so I don't know if the translation will be accurate, but I think it'll do)
    3. Go to File > Devices > Transfers purchases from "name of your device"...
    It'll start transfering all apps from your iPhone or iPad to your iTunes Library!
