I want to update to iOS 7, but itunes warned me that I have purchases on my phone that haven't been transferred. But i can't figure out how to do a transfer in the current version of iTunes. I have only found tips on how to do it in an older version from about 2 years ago. Help!
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3
Hello KWest04
There are two ways to do this. The first is when your iPhone is plugged in, look for in the File drop down menu then devices for a Transfer Purchases option. The second option is to look at your purchases and you can just download them from iTunes.

Why in the world is this not automatic? Only becomes a problem on iOS upgrade, but a deep menu and moderate search engine ordeal each time, because of changes to iTunes.
You can use this method to help you:
1. Launch the Coolmuster iPhone iPad iPod to computer transfer software and connect your iPhone/iPad to the computer with the USB cable.
2. The software will bring out all the contents in your iPhone/iPad and you can preview and select the purchased items you want to share.
3. Click the "Export" button to save the selected purchases to your computer.
