How do I transfer purchased items from my iPhone to my iTunes 11 Library?
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
Are you signed up to iCloud?
If so, your purchases should automatically appear in your library without you having to do anything.
If not, firstly I'd suggest you sign up for a free iCloud account (although this service will only work on content purchased from iTunes (not songs you've imported yourself - you'd need iTunes Match to enable this facility). These might help:

Secondly, either wi-fi sync or connect your iPhone to your computer/library via USB and sync. iTunes will detect new purchases and transfer them in to your library.
Hope this helps.
Is there any other option similar with the previous itunes version (right click and transfer purchase).
It's complicated and time consuming to do if we have to use the icloud, because we have to download it 2 times (from ipad then download again on the PC/Mac), same with the updates.
I already found it.....
On windows
1) with iTunes open and your device plugged in.
2) press ALT and a menu bar will appear.
3) Select FILE -> Devices -> Transfer Purchases From "<iphone/ipad name>"
Transfer should begin...
MAC
1) Open itunes
2) Plug in device
3) Select - File > Devices > Transfer purchases from "iPhone / iPad name"
DONE
Also make sure you have signed in and authorized your computer with all the "Purchased Items" Apple IDs
only if you have purchased from various accounts.
Enjoy.... 🙂
Thanks - great help

AS iTunes doesn't allow user to copy files from iPhone device to computer, it is a single-sync way, you can use iPhone to computer transfer app! As for me, I used vibosoft iPhone/Ipad/IPod to computer transfer app, it can copy purchased or Non-Purchased iTems from iPhone, iPad to iTunes library
