You cannot transfer Apps, as unless you have one of the new M1 Macs, iPhone Apps don't work on Mac. If you have an M1 Mac, you get your iPhone Apps directly from the Mac app Store under the Purchased tab.


For other things outside of Photos and Videos like random files see here: Use iTunes to share files between your computer and your iOS or iPadOS device - Apple Support
