Need to transfer from iPhone to iTunes apps

I had to perform a new installation of OS 10.11 El Capitan. Doing so removed my apps (I think my music library is OK...) - so I have all the apps on my iPhone.

The issue is - as I can't synchronize without wiping the iPhone with nothing library on my MBP - how to get apps from the iPhone to MBP? Note, I have file > transfer from iPhone (as coming from another page from Apple's Support) and has no effect.

I have 5 apps according to iTunes on MBP - but iTunes accurately 'sees' the 191 apps on iPhone

Any wise advice would be greatly appreciated.

First say you that the library is correct but then tell you it's a library, hence it is not correct.  The way to avoid having to wipe a phone is to transfer the library properly.

Move a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder iTunes integer (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact to the other disk. Hold down the option/ALT key to start iTunes and on request to select a library iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

When it's to a new computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look for what it y.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders.  If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

-Music Apple file cache: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2015/09/new-flush-apple-music-cache-files/

-device iOS, various preferences files backups: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3285925

In regards to the transfer of the app, you can't not with the new "App thinning" with iOS9.  To make smaller applications they are being customized for specific materials downloading Apple directly on a device with iOS9. Applications downloaded directly to an Apple device may no longer work on any other type of device. Apple has decided there is no point of synchronization to a computer, because each device should ideally get a customized version directly from Apple. If you want a backup copy on your computer you can transfer a version non-diluted directly from the computer store that has you need may be transferred to any device-i (but will take more space).

  • Transfer songs from Apple music from iPhone to iTunes

    Hello world

    Most of my songs is downloaded directly from Apple music on my iPhone. I think that my iPhone and my PC is connected somehow through the same Apple ID

    Whenever I want to sync my songs from iPhone to iTunes on my PC, my PC already knew that I downloaded music and it downloads the music once again in the iTunes - wasting the time and plan internet - to copy music from my iPhone.

    Is it possible to simply transfer the downloaded music from my iPhone directly to my PC / iTunes? Logically speaking music is already there in my phone so the only thing it takes is just to copy it, no need to download it once more.

    Thank you!

    P.S. I'm using iPhone 6 (iOS 9.3.2) and 10 Windows with the latest version of iTunes (12.4.1)

    Hi arisastrosubroto,

    Thank you for coming to us in Apple Support communities for support. I know it's important to have access to your music on all of your devices, so I'm happy to help you to provide advice for you to get it working again.

    If the music you want to transfer was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can use the information here to transfer these purchases to iTunes:

    Redownload or transfer of your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer

    If this music was not bought on iTunes, but simply added to your Apple's music library, iTunes works as it should and will be instead just download these same elements directly in iTunes.

    I hope this helps clarify things a bit more. See you soon!

  • Can not backup iPhone to iTunes apps

    I'm I searched this problem and none of the answers make sense to me.

    Problem... I bought a new iPhone 6 for my wife. I plugged the sound 5 s to iTunes to make a back up. When I connected the new phone and choose to use the backup to configure the phone, everything came, but all its applications. I looked into the iTunes app library and no apps are listed in there.

    I read online to select in iTunes to automatically download applications. If I download a new application on the phone again and go back to iTunes, Yes 1 new app is here. However, none of the old applications on the old phone have been downloaded in iTunes with the exception of this new application.

    Not to mention that it works not properly, I can't wrap the head around is why can't I just do a full backup as before, when he captured everything on the phone, including apps and when I restore from this backup, everything is right here on the new phone as nothing has changed. Another thing I don't understand is, sure iTunes can download new applications in the library but on all the info in the application? How to get this info transferred because the backup if it isn't the phone?

    The apps will be saved in iCloud if I would like to back up on there? I worry also about the users at my work who get new iPhones and never use an iTunes backup... They are not understanding people and this will become a nightmare.

    Why is - this has changed? Maybe I'm missing something?

    I didn't have a great day, I'm tired and I apologize in advanced for my ignorance.

    Thank you.

    Due to the thinning app, apps are transferred is no longer the iPhone to the computer when you transfer data. The version of the app that you download on your phone is not the entire application, because it contains only what is required to operate on a particular model. This allows the application to take less space on a device.

    You can manually download the applications previously downloaded to iTunes on your computer, as the automatic downloads will do that for you.

    iTunes is always a full backup. A backup contains only data stored on each application, not the application itself. If you want to transfer to a new phone properly, you must have these apps already on the phone or in iTunes.

    backups iCloud will avoid these problems.

    This changed so that applications can take less space on your phone.

  • Transfer songs from iPhone to iTunes?

    Hello

    Recently, my house was stolen and my old computer stolen. Unfortunately, I had not been able to backup my iTunes library recently (my old external hard drive recently crashed and a new, we just got here the day before my computer was stolen, but I had not had time to return my computer yet). A large part of my library was built from CD that I no longer have access to, but a few GB of my favorites is still on my phone, which fortunately was not stolen. Since I bought a new laptop (a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series, running Windows 10 Home), and I downloaded the latest Windows iTunes. I was able to authorize this computer to re-download my iTunes recent purchases from the iTunes Store, but clearly I can't re-upload my entire library, as a large part of it came from a CD rather than the iTunes Store. Now, I would like to transfer my songs from my iPhone5c to my new computer/iTunes, but I can't find a way to do it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I transfer all the messages/conversations from my iphone to messages.app on my mac?

    Hi people,

    Maybe someone can help me:

    How can I transfer the entire contents of my messages app on my iphone to the messages on my mac app?

    the problem is, when I create in the messages app a new account with my appl ID (for example on a new mac) I also use with my iphone, so everything worked very well for the starting point of creation.

    BUT... some older posts, I have on my iphone will appear in the new messages.app - account on my mac.

    I have thousands of old messages and conversations, I now can only see on my phone or with some more or less useful third party apps. those who cannot vonert messages to a PDF file or som other format useful semi > but no one can transfer it in the messages app.

    • I learned that apple does not save my imessages for more than 72hours (which makes me happy because of the confidentiality of the data), so I can't take via imessages-servers.
    • I also learned that it is possible to transfer data from the library files to a previous account. but unfortunately, I've just accidentally deleted those files, so this solution won't help:
      • I had serious problems to enable the transfer of SMS on a second mac (I guess I failed it in between), I went in the ususal trial & error-process and disabled the account of messages on the mac.
      • After that, I deleted all caches using onyx. then I restarted the iphone and the macbook and restarted the messages app.
      • the app behave like the 'never used before': I entered my apple, app ID remind my cell phone number and all other settings from the old account, but THE MESSAGES WERE GONE alle.
      • I don't know I deleted the using onyx. but there should be a way to win back them?

    the system configuration:

    • Start "2011-17 - macbook pro with latest el capitan (10.11.6)"
    • iPhone 6 with latest iOS (9.3.5)

    PLEASE Please HELP me - even if I use third-party software...

    Hello

    Can't do.

    iMessages are pushed by the iMessages servers to devices recorded at this time there.

    They are not held on servers and are deleted as soon as receiving devices accept.

    (that is, it is not like electronic mail that can be left on the server (POP) or rest on the (IMAP) server to be retried by other devices that can identify you later).

    How the files/iMessages are stored on the iPhone and the way the Mac stores are not the same.

    It is possible to have the iPhone one store backup via iTunes on Mac.

    From there on, it is possible to use third party applications to read (check out them and make them as text files), but they cannot be forced into Messages.

    By copying and pasting entire conversations from one chat to another it's the Mac send s just like a long piece of text with few (not in use) formatting.

    Can also have problems with actually duplicate the whole file with space on the iPhone in the first place.
