This tutorial is for windows 7 but can be applied to other operating systems such as xp.
As per normal please backup all your files first.
This Is what i did to get my apps over to a new Pc.
What we need to do first, is find where itunes has placed your application or apps for short.
These files are .ipa files, mine were located in C:\Users\your username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media.
If you cant find them, open windows explorer click on local drive c.
In the top right hand corner you will see, search local drive (c:) key in "ipa" this may take a while.
Once found take a note of where the ipa files are and copy all these files to a removeable stick.
Install itunes on your new Pc. When installed, click on the itunes store on the left hand side.
If you haven't already done so, login to your itunes account which is at the top on the right hand side.
Once logged in, click on the apps store at the top.
Download a free app or an app you already own. You will not have to buy it again, it will tell you that you own the app and do you want to download again just say yes.
One downloaded go to windows explorer on the new Pc and search for the ipa files.
Once you know where the files are located, copy all your apps to this folder.
Connect you iPhone, when your phone comes up on the left, click on it once, then right click on it.
Click on backup.
This will bring some of you files over to itunes but not your apps.
Now click on the apps column.
When you tick this column to sync to your apps, you may need to click on each app you want on your phone.
Go to each column in Itunes and make sure you tick or untick what you want to sync.
Now click sync in the bottom right of the screen .
Fingers crossed, don't blame me if this didn't work, it worked for me.
