Q: iOS 9: Transfer Purchases no Longer Working
So there's already a few threads going on in the iTunes for Mac Forums regarding this issue but I figured we may as well post one in iTunes for Windows for those folks who happen to only frequent this forum.
With the introduction of AppThinning on iOS9, Apple has effectively broken the local iTunes Synchronization model. AppThinning essentially means that when one install an app via their device, they are installing a smaller "footprint" version of the app tailored specifically for the device - i.e. iPhone, iPad, etc. For those who wonder ... that's the "Smaller More Convenient" section of the What's New salespitch (http://www.apple.com/ca/ios/whats-new/)
