We got our son a MacBook Pro yesterday. This is his first computer as he has only had an iPad prior. Because he never had a computer, he never had a way to sync his iPad. He just bought apps directly on his iPad.

Now that he has the computer, we wanted him to have his iTunes account and iPad backup on the computer. I synced the iPad on the computer and choose to have purchased items transferred to the computer. After the sync, all his videos and music transferred. However, only one of his 50+ apps transferred. I looked in the settings and I have apps selected to be synced but only one shows up.

Does anyone know how I can fix this so he has a complete backup of all apps on his computer?
