Hello Mary, With the phone attached, from the file menu of iTunes, find the device list. Then, you will see a sub-item that says Transfer purchases.
I am writing this from memory, so please forgive my inexactness in describing the process. You know, it's funny. Whenever I sync my device on my computer, all purchased items are automatically synchronized. However, I have two friends both of whom have to manually transfer purchases whenever they attach their phones to their respective computers. We are all using iTunes 12.3, however.

When I went to get the update, it told me I had purchased items which should be transferred, and did I want to continue anyway? So I canceled out and tried to find a way to get the purchased items to transfer over. I did a "sink". That didn't do the job. I found the purchased items in the table of playlist on the Mac. There are a lot of things in there, and they all have checkboxes checked and dimmed. So, I am at a loss. Deciding that all this purchased stuff is really already backed up in iCloud and my purchased list,, I decided to proceed. However, I really would like to know how to back up these items to my Mac Before doing this iPad back up, I also did a back up for my iPhone, where I have bought a very few things. I did not see any sort of warning about my items needing to be transferred, which now makes me wonder about the integrity of that back up. It has been a very long time since I used iTunes to back up anything. Clearly, I'm missing something.
