how do I backup apps stored on the phone? 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 -&gt; Devices -&gt; Transfer Purchases from "iPhone". If that doesn't do it, authorize first with Store -&gt; Authorize This Computer... with the same Apple ID you used to purchase those apps, and then try again.
