How do I transfer purchased items from my iPhone to my iTunes Library?

I was attempting to update my phone to iOS 5.1.1 when this message popped up:

"There are purchased items on the iPhone that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue?"

iPhone 4, Mac OS X (10.7.2), iCal

You rock! I just spent an hour trying to figure this out and it was so simple, yet I couldn't find a good 'how to' until I came across your post. Thanks!

Intuitive functionality used to be the hallmark of the brand. : P It's beyond me how they can let things like this go.
