Transferring apps from Iphone 3Gs to PC so i can upgrade

I have tried everything i can find to transfer my apps from my iphone 3GS to itunes on my PC so i can upgrade the phone but nothing works..Right click on phone on left side of screen, click transfer purchases and it only transfers 1 app which was a free app....I have synced the phone/ back up a couple times in the past couple weeks but it takes 4-6 hours to complete and still only shows 1 app in my itunes library...I dont have that much on the phone..150 apps....50-60 pictures and address book...does it always take this long ? Help.....Jay

Just FYI, when I did this, I had to manually select all the Apps to reinstall after restoring the iPhone4 with my iPhone 3GS backup. Most of the data for those apps transferred over with possibly one exception - a game (Nanosaur 2) in which my save games all disappeared.
I guess what I'm curious to know is, when you restore from a backup, shouldn't the Apps automatically restore and be in their previous positions? I had to go back and manually rearrange all my Apps which took quite a bit of time.

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:

Transferring apps from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4.

I recently purchased an iPhone 4. I already have an iPhone 3GS which I still use. I wanted to download some of the apps onto the iP4 but it won't let me. Does anyone have any ideas or can't it be done? I have looked at similar posts but they aren't exactly what I am after. We have just purchased a new computer as well and I have got into the home sharing also. I have been able to transfer apps purchased on iP4 to the 3GS but not the other way around (i.e. any app I purchased over the last year or so on 3GS won't transfer to iP4).
When I go to sync the iP4, it will let me sync the contacts, music, podcasts etc but the app section is greyed out and can't click on anything. The picture of whats on the screen of iP4 is greyed out as well.

Please disregard everyone - it is now working and I have transferred the apps. Fyi, the only thing I did differently was to use the new phone's cord and not the cord I originally had for the 3GS. The original cord downloaded all the other things fine, so I am not sure why the cord supplied with the iP4 made a difference. Maybe the wiring is slightly different between the cord for the 3GS and iP4 - I am not sure.

Trouble transferring apps from my ipad to itunes.

I'm having trouble transferring apps from my ipad to itunes. My computer is authorized, but I get - Some of the purchased items on the (user name) ipad could not be transfered to your itunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.

If those apps were purchased with a different Apple ID and iTunes account that would be a reason why you get that message.

I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country. Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are.
Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

Syncing Apps from iPhone 3GS to 4S

Hey folks,
I recently upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S. I synced up my 3GS to iTunes and then connected my new phone. When I synced them I chose the restore from existing option. This worked great and I have all of my messages, email account settings, Photos etc etc. However, None of my Apps have been transferred to the new device. How do I get all of my Apps from the 3GS to the 4S??
Any help would be great!

Transfer apps from iphone 3GS to iphone 4

I am upgrading from iphone 3GS to iphone 4. I have several applications and music which I have bought from apple store with my appleID. Can these apps be moved to iphone 4 if I use the same appleID... or do I need to repeat these purchases again?

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups. When you get your new phone, you can either restore it from the backup of your 3GS or set it up as new, the choice is yours. Afterwards, just plug it in an sync.

ITunes error when launching with Windows Vista Laptop

The iTunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. How do I resolve this. I reinstalled, I checked permissions for my account, and I checked permissions for the folders. I am using a Windows Vista laptop.

Hello,
Multisim 10.0.1 is compatible with Windows Vista, and this is a free update. Go to the Drivers and Updates page, and select your edition (Student, Educational, Power Pro).

ITunes does not work with Windows VISTA

If you are planning on installing Windows VISTA than do not expect your iTunes to work. It will mark all our downloads as being unauthorized to play on the Windows VISTA computer. If you try to download some new songs you will get an error. I am working with version 7.0.2 - the newest version at this time. So, beware - do not expect iTunes to work with Windows VISTA.

How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes, How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes

How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iphone3gs to windows address book.

Did you try and sync it with an address book on your computer that contained no entries at all? If so, then they are gone.
IF you backed up the phone before trying to do this, you may be able to recover some of the information using 3rd party software to try and extract it from the backup. I have no personal experience with any of these programs, so I'll leave specific recommendations to others who do.

Snychronization from iPhone 3GS to iTunes software

Summary: I transitioned from an old laptop (iTunes 9.1.1.12) to a new laptop (iTunes 9.1.1.12). Per Apple's backup instructions, I successfully backed up the iTunes library on the old laptop to cd-rom and imported the cd-rom to the iTunes software on the new laptop.
During my transition, I experienced the following challenges.
1. My iPhone 3GS (software 3.1.3) has songs and one video. Within iTunes on my new laptop, my iPhone 3GS successfully appears under the devices. Under the Movies tab, I select the checkbox to Sync Movies. The prompt appears, "Are you sure you want to sync movies? All existing movies on the iPhone will be replaced with movies from your iTunes library."
Under Devices, there is the Movies tab: There are no movies currently residing in my iTunes library on my new laptop. Therefore, further action to synchronize will erase the video on my iPhone 3GS! Yikes!
Under Devices, there is the Music tab and Photos tab: Similar prompts appear for music and photo synchronization! Yikes!
What should I perform to avoid this dilemma?
2. My iPhone 3GS (software 3.1.3) does not automatically synchronize when I attached the data cable on my new laptop. On the old laptop, synchronization was automatic when I attached the data cable.
What should I perform to see automatic synchronization?
3. Under Devices, there is the Apps tab: All the application icons are gray! I recall that I could see application icons in full color and rearrange them in iTunes on my old laptop.
What should I perform to see the application icons in iTunes on my new laptop?
Thank you for your support!
