why can't I find the apps store on itunes (pc)?

If this functionality was removed then how are we able to control all our apps? especially ones we purchased but do not currently have on our device. What about the space on our hard drives that have these apps stored on or were these deleted. Sorry but very bad move.

You could use iTunes 12.6.3 instead (it’s aimed at business environments where apps are deployed, but works for individuals as well, I'm using it without any issues) : https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208079

You may have to copy the old 'iTunes Library.itl' file (from before updating to 12.7) back.

Nobody on here can put the App Store back, we are just fellow users. You could use iTunes 12.6.3 instead or go back to a previous version, or to leave feedback to Apple given to their feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback

App Store support and app management was removed from iTunes 12.7.

Changes in the new iTunes - Apple Support

When you update iTunes, especially for major updates, it tends to take a backup copy of the old library.itl file and update it to work with the new version. So if you go to

• Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
• Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
• Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
• Windows 7 and later : \Users\username\My Music\iTunes

There should be a library.itl file somewhere underneath it (probably only one or two levels), and a 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder (containing previous backed up versions of the file) at the same level as that file - copy the most recent file back from that 'Previous' folder (removing the date, which should be when you updated to 12.7, from the end of its filename) and replace the current library.itl file (may be best to move that current file or rename it, instead of just deleting or overwriting it).

I'm having trouble installing the above link you mentioned, could you please expand on the comment

(You may have to copy the old i'TLibrary.itl' file (from before updating to 12.7) back.

As I don't quite understand what you mean.

TIA

I agreed. BRING BACK THE APP STORE. Most of my previous apps will not play. I have apps not in itunes store on my external drive that played when the app store was in the itune store. PLS bring it back.

I'm also having this issue, as well, since I just updated iTunes and noticed the changes made to the store.

Why remove the App Store in the first place? There was absolutely no reason for it to be removed at all, and yet this is what we're facing. What's gonig to happen to the apps on our devices when we plug it in to sync? What if we need to upgrade our device but it has sensitive data (such as apps for security purposes), and iTunes won't keep track of ANY apps when we transfer our device's data to a new one?

Someone needs to truly rethink why the App Store should be excluded from PC. Wny not just leave it there?

Read the previous posts.

Not a good move at all

Huh?

That is asked answered in this thread. Did you not read all the posts that came before yours?

Bring it back.

How do you expect a fellow user to bring it back ? If you want it go back to a previous version or iTunes 12.6.3
