Howdy. My iphone 3gs is one I migrated from Windows to Mac as host.

I did a backup and transferred purchases on the Mac side before doing this.

When doing the actual 'sync with this computer', I did not expect my neatly-arranged icons to become a 10-page swish-affair with 11 programs missing.

The error I get for these are "The app '___' was not installed on the iPhone '(phone name)' because the app could not be found.

Um, I did a backup. The app shows up in the iTunes list.

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally don't want to load up Win7 to restore these files, which would wide out the now Mac-synced iPhone... especially as to re-sync on the Mac side afterward will override everything again anyhow.

Where can I find these files and manually transfer them?

Thanks.
