Problems transferring from the iPhone to my Powerbook

I keep getting the following message:

iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone".." that are not present in your iTunes Library. Do you want to transfer these items .....

I press the "Transfer" button and iTunes 'syncs' the phone and Powerbook, but the next time I connect the iPhone, I get the same message.

Not sure why this is happening

iPhone 8, iOS 12

transferring purchases from iPhone to iTunes this question was asked in 2012: However the answer said that there was a command in the File menu to transfer purchases from iPhone to iTunes. That menu item is no longer there in my iTunes file menu. What next? Preparing to backup my iPhone to my computer, I saw there was an uupdate available (5.1.1). When I cllicked to update a message window popped up saying, "There are purchased items on the iPhone “Mac User’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone." But how do I ascertain what hasn't been traferred and where, and how would I do that transfer?

Your PowerBook is too old to support an iTunes version current enough to communicate to an iOS 12 device.

Do you really have a PowerBook?

Apple stopped producing those in 2006.
