Transfer Purchase from iPhone 5s to iTunes reducing free space?

Sometime I Transfer Purchases from my iPhone 5s 32GB running iOS 7.0.4 using iTunes 11.1.4 for Mac and recently notice it reduced free space on the iPhone, even before doing any sync from iTunes.. several weeks ago just before Transfer Purchases there was 7GB of free space on the iPhone, after Transfer Purchases there's only 5.3GB left, I restart the phone and there's 5.9GB left
Today there's 5.7GB free space, after Transfer Purchase there's only 4.3GB left, after restart the phone 4.7GB left
Wondering what Transfer Purchase actually doing with the phone that increase the storage usage up to more than 1GB permanently..? and how do I reclaim those free space?

    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 purchases from iPhone before upgrade to 3.1.3

    Hi all -
    I hadn't synced my iPhone in a while (gasp) and when I did, I didn't have time to do a full software update. When I just went to finally do the 3.1.3 upgrade, I ran into some trouble.
    I first did a full backup and sync. I then went to hit "Upgrade" and it gave me the ""There are purchased items on the iPhone that have not been transferred to your iTunes library..." message. I did both the File > Transfer Purchases from iPhone and also the right click on my iPhone under Devices and chose Transfer Purchases. So, now I should be clear, right? Wrong.
    Still getting the error message.
    All of the purchased music in my iTunes library shows up as transferred in my Music in iTunes. So, could it be an App or something else? And, shouldn't that have transferred when I used that option (as noted above)?
    Any help? I want to get the upgrade done and move on. Thx!

    I'm having the same issue and have had this issue for a while with both my 3GS and my wife's 3GS. I verified that all songs purchased on my wife's phone were showing up in iTunes and then ignored the message stating I still had purchases that had not been transferred and updated to iOS4 anyway.

  • How do I transfer music from iPhone 4S to iTunes on new computer?

    My computer crashed and I had to reinstall iTunes, when that happened, I lost all my music that was stored on my computer. It is still available on my phone. How do I transfer the music from my iPhone to the newly installed iTunes? Please give step by step instructions, I don't want to risk losing my music completely. THANKS!

    You cannot do that.  All you can transfer is the music you purchased in iTunes.  To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, and choose File > Device > Transfer Purchases from the iTunes menu.
    The rest of your music will have to come either from your old computer's backup or the original sources (e.g., CDs) that were used to supply iTunes on the old machine.

  • Trying to transfer songs from iPhone to my iTunes.  Help!

    I had iTunes with lots of songs and all of the songs are on my iPhone. Last week my computer crashed and I had to replace my hard-drive and memory, so I lost all of my music. I am trying to get all of my music back onto my computer and into iTunes. Some of the music was directly purchased from the iTunes store and I was able to transfer those into my iTunes library. But most of my music was burnt onto a CD and transferred to iTunes. When I try to sync my iPhone it says that is only able to sync with one iTunes at a time (i wasn't able to deauthorize my last iTunes due to computer failure) and that if I sync with this new iTunes I just downloaded it would erase everything on my iPhone and replace it with my new iTunes library. All of the music is on my iPhone and not in my iTunes and if I did this it would erase everything. Is there a way to get the songs that I did not purchase from the iTunes store onto my computer from my iPhone without losing any music??

    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod/iPhone. However there are couple of third party utilities for retrieving content that are advertised as iPhone compatible:
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • Transfer purchases from iPhone 3gs error

    My wife and I both have an iPhone 3gs. We've created separate users on our iMac to manage iPhones/iTunes. We both have admin privileges. It's worked brilliantly until today. I recently synced/updated to OS 5.1.1 (last week)...no problems on my end. My wife tried today, but unfortunately gets an error message at the end of the transfer purchases/syncing process:  "Attempting to copy to disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." 
    Any ideas?

    I too had this issue on my Vista 64 machine--I have since upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit. The solution I found was to open TCP Port 3689 on the computer as well as the Multicast DNS for Bonjour: UDP 5353. You might need to reboot and should be all set after that. My Apple TV worked for almost a year without these settings. I suddenly started having these issues around a month ago. All is now well.
