iPhone/iPad serious App updating problems...

This is seriously frustrating & I'd like to know if anyone else experiences the same and/or has a fix...

iTunes will not update the Apps on my iPhone 6 or iPad Mini.
If I update the Apps in iTunes it will not transfer the updates to the devices.

If I update the Apps on the devices it will not transfer the updates to iTunes.

As a consequence I have to triple my data downloads by downloading the updates manually to my devices & then to my computer.

Just yesterday I had over 100 Apps, all of which are fully up-to-date on my devices, to update on my computer through iTunes.
Totally ridiculous.

This is all despite the fact that the devices are regularly backed-up to iTunes.

Running OS 10.10.3, iTunes 12.1.2. 27

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Unfortunately - I believe I have the same problem - and no solution.
That is, I can transfer music, photos, and other files to iOS devices -
but iTunes 12.1 "locks" if I try to transfer Apps. I have done due
research - and tried solutions for similar problems - for example,
Deauthorizing and Authorizing my iMac - but no attempted
solution has made any difference. I'm hoping Apple will
identify the cause of this problem and provide a fix.
In the meantime, I'm updating and adding Apps to iOS
devices by WiFi (outside of iTunes). I'm also up-to-date - iOS 8.3, iTunes
12.1.2.27 and Yosemite 10.10.3. Very frustrating!!

I have exactly the same problem with my MacBook so tried to load updated apps from my iPhone to iTunes on my PC and that worked, then synced to my iPad and that worked too - so it is clearly a problem that only affect iTunes for Mac - and needs to be fixed.
