How to see list of purchases on itunes?

[Combat squirrel]

As title, need to sync my iphone due to 4.2 update, but i also formatted mac, so have no apps on mac, but I want to know what I purchased so I can download them again (totally no idea, iv got loads apps), the mac wont let me copy my purchases on my iphone over to the mac it only says it will over write the iphone with whats on mac, obviously, non at the moment.

Start iTunes then goto store tab at the top, come down to view account then click on purchase history.

I love the way you can't just click 'list items' or something to show a nice big long list of every paid app with the total at the bottom. It's almost like they don't want you to know how much you've spent.

I wouldn't even want to know!

A guy came into my old shop in a state of raw panic, something was up with his Mac and he didn't want to lose his iTunes library that he hadn't got backed up.

He'd spent SEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS on music from iTunes!

I hate the way you have to click Buy then hope the "You bought this already" dialog appears. Apps you've bought in the past should be marked when browsing the store.

I submitted this to Apple, as a requested feature.

It also sucks how each purchase is listed sequentially, and includes repeated purchases that may have cost nothing. In effect, if you had to go through the purchase history to see everything you've ever bought (apps), you'd have a hard job.
