How to backup / sync iphone apps

    I've got about three times as many apps on my iphone as I do showing up on my itunes library on my PC. I was trying to find a way to copy the apps to the itunes PC library, but can't.

    When I connect the phone I get a pop-up saying that there are purchased items on the iphone which are not on the PC and I'm prompted to transfer them, but this is only songs and videos. The apps listed on the PC aren't updated at all.

    When I try to manually sync the apps, I'm told that doing so will erase all the apps on the iphone and replace them with the apps on the PC, which is the exact opposite of what it is I want to do!

    Am I missing something?

    in itunes right click your phone
    and pick transfer purchases, this will move all apps over inc stuff you mightnt of got from app store :D
    you can happily sync from then without losing stuff

    eta i should of said for non app store apps to be transferred you will need to install "app sync 2.x/3.x"
