transferrring from iPhone to iTunes library?

There is a new version available for my iPhone and I want to update it but it says that there are items purchased on my iPhone that are not in the library and I should transfer these first. How do I figure out what items it is talking about? I really don't want to cross-match my entire music list and all of my apps to try and find them. Is there an easier way to do this?

    If your files were purchased from iTunes store, use "Transfer Purchases" option to transfer. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329

    If some of your songs were from other sources, you will need to utilize some iPhone transfer program to help you, like this handy program called Tansee iPhone Transfer

    Many of my friends are using it for its easy and safe transfer. The whole process goes as follows:

    Firstly install this program on your computer. When you connect your iPhone to the computer, this program would instantly display all music and videos on your iPhone. All you need is to select what you wish to transfer and click "Copy" button. Done. All your selected files will be copied to your selceted folder on the computer safely. Now you can easily add those files to the iTunes library.

    More importantly, this won't overwrite any original files on your iPhone.

    Here is step-by-step guide on the whole process:

    Hope this can help.

    But I like to use this one best.
