    With iOS 9 apps will no longer copy back from a device, probably due to a new developer feature called 'app thinning' which allows only what is needed for an app on a device to be downloaded onto that device - so it may not be a 'complete' app on a device. You will need to download the updates directly on your computer's iTunes
