Q: iTunes won't transfer purchases from iPhone/iPad.

I own both an iphone 5 And an iPad Air 2, both running the latest iOS 9.02. I have a very limited amount of data that I can use so normally I'll transfer all my apps that need updated and take the phone to a wifi hotspot, update them, then transfer them back to my computer. This all changed with the update to iOS 9. My iTunes no longer will transfer purchased apps. anyone have any suggestions?

iPhone 5, iOS 9.0.2

    I have a MacBook, iPad, iPad Mini and an iPhone... all current OS versions.

     

    Can I download the App updates once and distribute to all my mobile devices?  I have a data-bundle cap, so I am looking for the most efficient method.

     

    iTunes > File > Devices > Transfer Purchases... doesn't seem to do anything. I made this point, as after running the TP function I still have an Amazon App ver 5.4.0 on my iPhone and ver 5.2.0 on my MacBook.

     

    If I follow the discussion correctly, I should download the App updates on my MacBook > iTunes first and then synch/replicate to my mobile devices.  Right?
