Thank you all for clarifying this.
To Apple's software developers - this is literally THE DUMBEST and most ridiculous decision you guys have made. I assume Jonny Ives had nothing to do with this UI change - I'm an industrial designer myself and any self-respecting designer would never do something stupid like that. The ability to manage apps in Itunes, on my desktop, with my mouse on a large monitor wasn't just a great feature, it was essential, expected, and natural. Remember guys - when you release new updates you're supposed to make your product BETTER, NOT WORSE. You've just made it decidedly worse. And to add insult to injury, you've totally skipped any notices, explanations or anything to just clue in millions of us who updated Itunes that app management feature is gone. Talk about missing Steve Jobs' thinking when you need it.
I totally agree with you. These developers make changes, give not explanation, and the product gets worse. Even more frustrating is the fact that they don't care. This is why so many people are not afraid to switch to android. They get fed up. This is one of the dumbest changes ever. This is just lake taking the headphone jack out of the iPhone and making millions of people use that stupid adapter and not be able to charge their phone at the same time. Ugh!!!! Get with it Apple, or you are going to lose more and more customers.
Apple are not here, these are just user forums - if you want to leave feedback to them use the feedback posted previously on this thread.
iTunes 12.6.3, see previous posts on this thread, lets you manage apps in iTunes
Hi! on a more positive aspect, now that the computer is not needed to sync apps to the device, I saved 5 gigs of data. As my mac has 128 gig and my iPhone 8 has 256 gig, it makes sense. (However what does not make sense is the low disk space we get on macbook!
iTunes 12.6.3 is compatible with all Apple devices up to and including iPhone 8, 8 Plus, X and anything running iOS 11, which aren't compatible with iTunes 12.6.2. My iPod classic, iPhone 4, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad 2 and iPad Pro 10.5" all work fine with 12.6.3 through 12.7.2.

I AGREE - i want upgrades not downgrades.
what will happen with a new system update ?
do i have to do the whole stuff again ???
CRAZY .. pls, a new iTunes, back with apps.. stop messing around with our stuff !
Well, I will consider the iTunes12.6.3 as an enterprise edition that has an additional feature than the current version.
First, You just need to, de-install the latest version of iTunes from your MAC or PC before proceeding with the install.
Works great with my iPhone 6S.
oh.. you think there will be 2 iTunes in the future ?
and we will have to pay for the ENTERPRISE one ?
I don't think I like this idea ..
btw. I did not de-installed.
I simply installed and it replaced the old app, only left the old library sit there,
which I deleted after installing the new stuff.
i mean if they are about to develop 2 iTunes from now on - one being "professional" ??
and if we would have to pay for this new one..
cause.. I dont want to stick with the old iTunes forever, i would love to have a new actual version that does APPS.
Until if/when Apple announce something nobody on here will know if, going forwards, there will two versions. If there is it's doubtful that one will be paid-for, so far iTunes has always been a free download
Click the phone icon once the iPhone is connected to iTunes.... you will get an option called File Sharing on the left side menu. Select the option and you will be able to view all your apps in the right side pane...
You will see a list of the apps that support file sharing, This area lets you add or remove data to or from those apps. It doesn't allow you to add, remove or organize the apps on the device, which is what people are concerned about.

on android eg my super old "note4" you can just copy paste music/movies/pictures and immediately are viewable on my phone example using VLC player. No conversion no syncing it just does it. You can even create folders just like windows explorer
All apple has going for it is aesthetics, very poorly designed options and mechanics
p.s i'm not biased i own both samsung phone tablets and apple aswell
Hi
Yes i agree with AMCarter3
Apps in my itunes library was far better than messing about on iphone screen!
Also, my purchased books from itunes have gone from my library too???
PLEASE REINSTATE APPS & BOOKS? TO LIBRARY as all has gone backwards in current format!
I agree that this was an idiotic decision. How many lines of code or memory space would it have used to keep the feature to be able to actually see and move around the pages and pages of app icons on the computer? On a screen that is actually easy to see and work with a mouse instead of the assinine and clumsy method of doing it on the device itself. Clumsy should not be in the Apple dictionary!! Leave that to the Microsoft legions.
Please reinstate the access to the app pages through iTunes where one can easily and efficiently manage the layout of the iPhone's (and iPad's) multiple pages.
Insanely cretinous. I now have to use my tiny little screen on my iphone to access the iTunes store with my secure password that requires me to flip constantly to get the characters on a screen that needs a microscope only to get the unable to sign in message.
Very stupid Apple!
