How to backup apps stored on the phone

backupitunes

I've recently made iTune backups (not iCloud) of my iDevices and iTunes copied the apps to the local drive. I tried doing the same thing on my wife's iPhone but the apps arent' getting copied. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But I'm only pressing backup on iTunes.

Thanks! 🙂

Go to File -> Devices -> Transfer Purchases from "iPhone". If that doesn't do it, authorize first with Store -> Authorize This Computer... with the same Apple ID you used to purchase those apps, and then try again.
