iOS Transfering apps from iPhone to computer?

[PerterP]

Hi all, with the recent removal of my baby sim games from the app store, I'm trying to figure out how to transfer apps from my phone to the computer so I can have a copy of the app file just in case the app has been removed and I have to reinstall it. Here are the steps I have done so far, running latest iTunes version, windows seven, with window-eyes. After hooking my phone to the computer, I access the iTunes menu, then go to device, then transfer purcheases. While some of my purcheases, like audio books and music transferred to my computer, none of my apps transferred. I went in to the iTunes prefferences, looked threw every tab, every checkbox, every combo box, and saw nothing about apps. So my question is, how can I transfer the apps on my phone to my iTunes library with the latest version of iTunes on my pc? Is this even possible?
