Sync apps bought on Phone to iTunes

I bought several apps on my phone, and I am unable to sync them back to iTunes (I'm on v7.7, iPhone 2.0). They work great on my phone, but they have not copied to iTunes. I get a prompt on sync about "purchased items on your phone not in iTunes library", asking me if I want to sync. When I click yes, it just starts doing a back up of the phone, which takes about 20 minutes. I now have an Applications library icon in iTunes, but it's empty....
What's up with that?

I've had a few applications say they didn't install, but they are there. I have a applications tab on iTunes full of aps now, and they are all on the phone. It took a few sync's for it to get actually syncronized, but it eventually did.
Not really a strong answer, but just kept syncing all day and at the end of the day all aps were in both places.
I also downloaded some aps in itune and let them install on the phone, that worked fine too.

  • Sync Apps is disabled in my iTunes

    Sync Apps is disabled in my iTunes. How to make it enable and sync my apps to iphone.

    I have the same problem!
    And frankly on a 128gig air it is a bit of a pain, because sometimes i do run out of disk space while syncing
    there is an option called "Automatically sync new apps" in the Apps Tab of the sync menue,
    BUT i already have it deactivated and itunes still says: ~found new purchases on the iphone, do you want to transfer them~
    i guess the only option is to deactivate the transfer of new purchases in general, but then if you buy music on the phone it will not show up on your computer

  • Itunes will not sync app updates to phone

    Syncing phone to itunes on Win8. Set to sync music manually. After downloading all app updates to laptop, syncing does not update apps on phone. Thoughts?
    Found solution in another thread right after I posted this. Thanks anyway.

    Hi throgs!
    You may want to try to manually manage the music on your iPod touch. You can do this by following the directions in the following article, and attempting to sync your music that way:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    If you do not wish to manually manage your music, you can also try to sync automatically, but first you will want to sync the iPod with the "Sync Music" box checked, but no boxes checked in the fields for Genre, Album, Artist, or Playlist. Then choose the items you would like to sync from those fields and attempt to sync them again. This will wipe out the music that is on your iPod now, but may allow you to sync the music back onto the iPod after that. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Can't sync apps bought in itunes to ipad2

    I just received an ipad2.  Am trying to sync apps I bought from itunes to the ipad and nothing is working.  I've checked the help manuals and done everything they say and still nothing works. 
    This ipad has been nothing but a pain in the ... since I got it; had to do a restore on the first day and have had to force close several times a day.

    Just to add info, it syncs music and the apps on our ipod touch.  Stuff I got in the appstore on the ipad is there.

  • How do I add apps onto my phone from Itunes?

    I added apps from itunes onto my library and synced my iphone, but they did not show up on my phone. Does anyone know how to find them on the original iphone, or are the apps only for the 3g and the itouch? If anyone could help that would be great

    You have updated your phone to 2.0? If, click on your phone in iTunes and select the Applications-tab (to the very right). Do your downloaded apps appear here?

  • How do I transfer apps from my phone to iTunes on my PC?

    I would like to transfer the apps from my iPhone to my Itunes on my computer so I have them saved in two locations. I did this a long time ago but I can't remember how. My iTunes on my computer only shows 63 of the 72 apps that I have, and some of the apps that it shows are apps that I have long since deleted from my phone. What can I do so the apps that show in iTunes are the same as on my phone? Thank you!

    All 3rd party apps on your iPhone - that were on your iPhone that was exchanged/replaced should be in your iTunes library on your computer along with all other iTunes content that was on the iPhone.
    If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes which should be selected for several reasons, after downloading an app with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    When connecting a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer that was being used to sync with another iPhone, you should be prompted to transfer the backup for the previous iPhone to the new iPhone as the very first step. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes to transfer your selected iTunes content from your iTunes library to your iPhone - music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, and 3rd party apps.

  • Can't make ipad sync apps to new computer's iTunes

    I have a slightly strange problem. In Sept 2012, I got a MacBook to replace a Windows laptop. I transferred all my itunes music across and used 'transfer purchases' from my Ipod Touch to transfer all the apps to the itunes on the mac so I could keep all my apps. I then ticked the 'sync apps' box, and synced and everything works wonderfully, all my apps are still there etc and I can download them from the app store etc on the ipod.
    However, when I did this with my iPad 2, it never changed from syncing with the old laptop. Under iTunes wifi sync on the ipad, music,movies,podcasts, books and tones are synced with the new macbook, and for some reason apps, itunes U and movies are synced with my old laptop. I can't download any new apps or music on the ipad from the itunes app/appstore app either (the buttons just don't do anything). Nor can I seem to, no matter how hard I try, make the ipad sync apps with the new macbook. The apps themselves work just as they ever used to.
    I understand with itunes 11 the 'sync apps' button has gone, so I tried transferring purchases and then syncing, to no avail. All my apps show up in the corect position under the 'apps' tab, but they just won't sync.
    I have some access to the old laptop, but it is 200 miles away and I can't access it for several weeks at least. There's nothing in the apps themselves that is absolutely vital for me to keep (although obviously it'd be annoying to lose all the data stored in them, such as game saves).
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Pippa
    Edit: Strangely, I can now get it to delete apps, by deleting them from the apps tab on iTunes, it goes all the way through the sync, but finds an app to sync (generally just one), gets halfway through that then cancels the sync. However, it has deleted the app I selected for deletion from the ipad. I still can't downalod anything from the itunes app.

    Oddly, I've now (through repeatedly trying to sync the ipad) got the apps to now sync to my ipad according to thw wifi sync menu on the ipad. However, the sync still cancels halfways through. It attemps to sync between 1-20 songs that aren't on my ipad (cause it hasn't been syncing) and then gives up and "cancelling sync" appears.
    Each time the number of songs left to sync is fewer and fewer, but I can't deal with an ipad that can only sync 5 songs per sync cycle. There's no reason given as to why it cancelled the sync, and none of the apps sync.

  • Syncing apps on multiple phones

    My wife and I have 3g phones and I can't figure out how to put apps I purchased on my phone onto hers. Is this possible or do we have to purchase apps twice if we both want them?

    Not if you and your wife are using the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the computer used for syncing both iPhones.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods and/or iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer with the ability for each device having its own sync preferences.
    If you and your wife are using the same iTunes library and iTunes account, you can select the iTunes playlists that you want transferred to your iPhone under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and your wife can do the same under the Music tab for her iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. The same applies under the Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Photos, and Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and the same under the various tabs for your Wife's iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • Cannot sync apps to ipod touch from itunes

    Hi,
    Before I purchased my used Ipod touch 2g or 3g online I downloaded Itunes onto my laptop and also download some free apps. However, once I received the used ipod which had some apps and music already installed on it. I cannot sync (transfer) the free apps from my computer to ipod. When I click on application at the top tab all apps on ipod shows but I cannot do anything with them. When I tried transfer purchased from ipod touch to computer a message pops up saying I do not have authorization, yet I authorize my computer. Any help will do!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    you can only use apps with one account. If apps where bought using a different account, they will not transfer to your computer using your account.

  • Trouble Syncing Apps from iPhone 3GS to iTunes 10.2.1.

    I have yet to update my iPhone 3GS to the newest OS because of an on-going issue I have been having with syncing my purchased apps on iTunes 10.2.1. Despite having authorized my computer and re-installing both iTunes and Quicktime, every time I try to sync my apps, I receive an error message that says that it was unable to sync my purchased apps because my computer has not been authorized. Since I did authorize my computer, this is obviously not true. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions for how to fix it? Thanks!

    Maybe this will help:

  • Cannot sync app to iPhone 4S via iTunes

    I purchase infinity blade 2 app for my iPhone 4 and do lots of in app purchase up to USD 38.73. Now I try iCloud backup for my new iPhone 4S 64GB Black unit but the iCloud backup is workless because it's says no backup available and ask me to use it as a new iPhone. Then I try iTunes Backup.

Now I'm so worried and sad because I scare I will loss all infinity blade 2 data and my in app purchase up to USD 38.73 it's a huge waste. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It will download infinity blade 2 app to my new iPhone 4S at no charge but will it also restore the data on old iPhone 4 to this new iPhone 4S. I mean I can take back from where I left or I have to start from zero. Plus I ask Mac City, the authorised reseller of apple consumer products and they say iPhone 4 powered by apple A4 chip and iPhone 4S powered dual core A5 chip, so the data not compitable from A4 to A5. Is that truth? If it is what about my in app purchase?

  • How to sync music bought on iPod to iTunes

    I purchased some music using iTunes and my iPod touch. Later I sync'ed with iTunes and the music was transferred to iTunes on my PC.
    For several reasons I had to reinstall my PC but was not able to off-load data before the reinstall.
    How do I now sync the music I purchased from my iPod to iTunes?
    Message was edited by: ttbrix

    I have tried to use the 'transfer purchased music' but it is as if it has already replicated the music once and then it's not possible anymore.
    I have bought music afterwards and that works fine.

  • How do you sync photos from your phone to iTunes?

    isn't this supposed to happen automatically?

    No, you do not sync photos to iTunes, you import photos to the computer. Check this support document regarding importing photos to the computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
