iOS 9/iTunes 12.3 not syncing app through devices

I love you.

I have the same issue with my iPad Mini 3. The iPhone 6 is working fine with the same iTune.

I can see the app list in the left column though. Only the waiting icon on the right box (can wait hours, no change).

- iTune 12.03

- iOS 9.0.1 (Both devices)

PLEASE APPLE give us a FIX.

This "new and improved" method of not syncing apps and app updates from

the iPhone to the computer is defeating the whole purpose of doing backups

and syncing. What if you need to restore and OMG there is no internet (like that

never, ever in history has happened).

Also, FWIW, the Automatic Downloads in iTunes is broke as well. You get a little cloud

symbol indicating something is "ready for Manually Downloading". The whole point

of "automatic download" on all devices (if selected) is to automatically download, right???

It makes sense.

Your explanation is clear and complete.

Thank you.

@Patrice B, I found a solution to this. It's because of the default iOS wallpaper that's causing the inability to see your home screens in iTunes.

Change your wallpaper to a photo you've taken and you'll see your home screens in iTunes again.

I thought your solution sounded so silly... till I tried it!!! Thank you - it worked!!!

I upgraded 4 of my devices to iOS9.0.1 and the apps then starting to sync for one of them, the iPhone 6. The rest are earlier devices and everythign sync except apps. No idea why.

I know, it's dumb right?

Only reason I found out is I had the syslog open at the time and noticed this error: getHomeScreenWallpaperPNGData request failed

Which led me to trying a different wall paper..

Thank you so much for your Home Screen solution. Worked great!!!

Thanks a lot... It fixed it. Hope Apple will use your input to fix the real problem.

This has really got me stuffed.

I have an iPhone6 and a new 6s. There is an app on my 6 (a pilots logbook) that is no longer available in the App store and due to the 'wonderful' new system I cannot transfer it to my new phone!

If I can't transfer this app to the new phone then I will have to buy a new (less user friendly) app which will mean leaving apple for Android.

Anyone know a workaround?

I'm experiencing the same issue. What a pain.

Clearly Apple would be aware of this, which makes it all the more frustrating considering they've now tinkered with the iOS again, yet continue to ignore the noise from loyal users!

iPhone 6 / iOS 9.0.2 / iTunes 12.3.0.44

Same problem`Cant't sync anymore with IOS 9 my apps from iPhone to iTunes on my computers, please any clue?

Since updating to iOS 9.0.2 on my iPhone 6S Plus, I have found that the update has fixed the syncing problem.

Still not working the way it should you can only update apps from iTunes to iPhone not the other way around.
