iTunes 'Apps' screen not loading when iPhone plugged in

Hello,


When my iPhone 6s + is plugged into my iTunes and I try to access the 'Apps' screen under the iPhone (screenshot below), the iPhone home screen with the ability to re arrange app icons does not load and all I see if the loading circle.


I've tried rebooting the phone and my Mac and so far nothing seems to help.


iPhone is running iOS 9.0.1

iTunes: 12.3

I'm having this same problem with an iPhone 6s Plus and an iPhone 6 Plus (both running 9.0.1) on both OSX 10.10.5 and Windows 10. iTunes shows the apps properly for my iPad 4.


I went to the Genius Bar Saturday the 26th and they could not get it to work. They were going to give me a new phone, and hooked up a brand new replacement 6s Plus and iTunes didn't show the apps on it either. So I ended up keeping my current 6s Plus. Hopefully, there will be an update to iTunes that fixes this problem.

I have the same issue with my new Apple iPhone 6s Plus connecting into iTunes 12.3.0.44 on Windows 7.

I get the list of apps in my iTunes which I can install on my phone (with their size and a Install button next to each one) but I get a spinning wheel and a blank screen to the right where the iPhone home screens are meant to be displayed. I've logged a call with Apple.


Tested the same iTunes install with an iPhone 4s running 9.0 and it is showing the Home Screen fine so it's definitely the 6s Plus.

Thanks James for taking the initiative here. Don't let them off the hook thinking it is only affecting a few people. It seems to be affecting everyone as I tried it with 3 different computers and Iphone 6S Plus's just at my house and none of them worked. 2 different laptops (one running Windows 8.1, and one running Windows 10), and a Desktop PC running Windows 10.
