Transfer apps from iPhone to iTunes not working

I have tried this on iTunes 8.0.1, 8.0.2 and 2.1, 2.2 firmware without success. For a good while now, I installed apps directly onto to my iPhone and never bothered to sync up regularly. As a result, I have over 20 apps on my phone that are not on iTunes. Last week when I finally sycn with iTunes, it usually hung on copying the first app for a long time and if I leave it on long enough, it shows that all the apps are copied. Yet when I check iTunes apps, they don't show up. I have tried this many times without any success. Does anyone know a remedy for this?

In iTunes, go into the AppStore (not on the phone, but computer) and just redownload them. If you paid for them once already, it will NOT recharge you.
Of course use the same account you used on the phone.

    Trying to transfer purchases from iphone into itunes I keep getting error that computer is not authorized.  But it IS authorized,  any suggestions?  Thanks,

    It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
    You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
    TCP 123
    TCP 3689
    UDP 5353
    TCP 80
    TCP 4343
    TCP 53

  • Transfer apps from iPhone to iTunes, can they be merged?

    Hello!
    I'm hoping you can help me with. I purchased an iPhone 5, ios 6.1.2 for a friend and it already has some cool apps on it. My friend already has an iTunes account for the iPod shuffle for music so he has no apps or photos. The phone  to put some apps and photos on the phone then send it to him. When he connects with his iTunes will it erase the apps on the phone?

    An iPhone is meant to connect to only one computer, so when he connects it he'll be prompted to erase the iPhone.  That means all apps, photos, music, etc. on the iPhone will be erased.
    App purchases are intended to be used by only one Apple ID, and you cannot share apps across IDs without a lot of effort and hassle.

  • Transfer apps from iPhone to Mac

    I got a new Mac some time ago. The first time I synced it with my iPhone I chose the option to merge the devices' data because I feared some stuff might get lost otherwise. Hence the apps on my phone were never transferred onto my Mac. Tried the 'transfer purchases' option, didn't work; except for the apps I've purchased ever since, that is. I connected my Mac to my old Mac and even though they're both authorised for my Apple ID account I couldn't move the apps to the new laptop. I guess I could delete the apps and download them again, but I paid for some of them, so that's not an option. Or maybe the main problem's the fact the data are still being merged? How do you undo that?
    Do any of you guys know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

  • Syncing Apps from iPhone to iTunes with folder grouping

    Hi,
    I have close to 200 apps on my iPhone structured into approx 50 folders.
    These apps are downloaded firectly from iTunes (via wifi).
    Now, i want to sync them to my PC via iTunes.
    I used the option "Transfer purchases" for that.
    But the folder are not synced.
    If choose Sync App options, i am afraid i will loose all my folders and it will really time consuming to create them again.
    How can get my folders and Apps from iPhone to iTunes ?
    Regards,
    Ashwani Kr Sharma

    Apps are transferred automatically (most of the time, that is!) during the backup that runs prior to the sync (unless you've disabled backup)
    If you are syncing your apps, you will see (in the app sync pane) a visual representative of your phone, all pages, and that includes the folders. You will not lose any of them.
    Like ChrisJ4203 says, you need to be syncing to the same iTunes library as your Apple ID on your phone, and that iTunes library must be authorized by you.

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPhones using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

  • Abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes

    How to abort transfer app from iPad to iTunes when sync process? Every time when I sync my iPad Mini (iOS 8.1.3.) to iTunes (Mac OS, 12.0.1) every app is copied to iTunes media on my Mac. How avoid this unnecessary process?

    If you only delete the files from your Mac via Finder, but leave them listed in the Apps part of your iTunes library, then they will not be copied back from your iPad when you sync again (unless there is a newer version on it).
    If you do have to restore to a backup at any point in the future then to restore to an iTunes backup you will need the apps on your computer (a backup does not contain the actual apps, just their content/settings), and you may not be able to redownload them from the store (e.g. if the developer has removed them). An iCloud backup also doesn't contain your apps, it will redownload what it can from the store.

  • Any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes on MacBook Pro?

    I'm an idiot.  I'm just going to say that up front.  I feel that's fair for all who venture here.
    I've had a terrible time with an update..and I wasn't able to get iTunes to acknowledge/recognize my iPhone or iPod once I ran and installed the current update.  While trying to get my iPhone/iPod to be recognized, I did a lot of removing/uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.  During this mess.....I somehow DELETED MY ENTIRE iTunes LIBRARY!!!  The whole thing.  I have no idea how.
    I thought I had been backing up....and thought I had Time Machine so I was safe.  I was wrong.  I won't even ask about Time Machine here....I've already disclosed I'm an idiot. 
    I am finally able to get iTunes to acknowledge my iPhone.  Thank goodness.  But, now......I have Songs and Playlists on my iPhone that aren't on iTunes.
    Is there any way to transfer songs from iPhone TO iTunes? 
    Thanks!
