Apps do not show up in iTunes

My apps are not showing up in iTunes with the exception of the last 10 or so that I purchased. When I go to Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications, all my apps are there, including the 10 most recently purchased ones. I re-downloaded one of the apps from the iTunes Store to make sure it went to the right folder and sure enough it got stored in Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications. That app now shows up in iTunes. So why are all the other apps in Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications not showing up in iTunes?

Try right clicking on the device and choosing Transfer purchases - That may transfer your other apps from your phone to itunes.

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what you mean by right click on the device. In the upper right hand corner of iTunes I see the device, but I am unable to right click on it.

I really just wanted to have the apps show up in iTunes so that i could update them all. (This is how I did it before they all disappeared). But I guess I can just update them directly on my iPad and iPhone. Is there a reason i need to have them show in iTunes is I can update and manage them directly on my iPad?
