IPhone app transfer

I have a bunch of apps on regular IPhone and want to transfer them to this latest 4s? I had Angry Birds beat and was going back thru trying to up my scores. Many I got on the 1st shot. I also had 5-0 Radio and Flick Fishing and Aw Craps. Gotta download them all again from the store? Btw, the ITunes acc't related to the old IPhone is history after I installed another hd.

iTunes is the key here. You transfter apps from old phone to itunes and then from itunes to new phone.

I did all that and process went smoothly and said was complete, both ways. Nothing transferred though. Got the apps the old-fashioned way on new 4s - worth a few bucks. Maybe a snafu between the 4 and 4s but I ain't gonna push it.

Sarge there's no charge for re- downloading apps you've already purchased.
Did you use the most recent backup for the new phone?
That would have saved your Angry Birds game scores and place.

I got old phone from drawer and backed it up. Then connected the new 4s and it said did its thing but no apps made it. Didn't have any music. I rebought the apps for new phone since I forgot which account I'd used - have many. No big deal to buy again. I already beat the free version and paid version last nite. Going back thru trying to up my scores. Thanks for asking.
