Hi all. This is not a "how to" question.
My iPhone stopped transferring applications purchased on the iPhone back to iTunes. However, I can still transfer apps from iTunes to the iPhone. Not jailbroken.
I've searched and tried a number of things: Reboot iPhone; iTunes on a different computer (both PC and Mac); Deauthorize/Authorize computer; Tried "Transfer Purchases" which transfers a TV show I purchased but none of the other apps both purchased and free); etc. I'm hoping there's a tweak to knock them loose. I am hesitant to sync to the other computer because of the message that all apps will be replaced by the ones on the computer. I seem to remember that if I go ahead and select that it will ask to transfer the apps not found on the computer, but since the problem is that they won't transfer I'm concerned that the apps won't transfer before the sync erases them.
I don't mean to be lazy but I don't want to re-download all the apps not knowing if that will solve the problem. I have most of the apps on the computer except for the updates and some newer ones. I don't use the computer much so I don't want to manage everything from iTunes.
If there's a way to do so, I'm OK manually copying all the apps from the iPhone and then wiping or syncing the phone from scratch. The goal is to not re-download all apps in whatever form that takes.
Thank you for any thoughts!
