App backups

I like to keep backups of all my iOS apps (I share a few with family) but noticed that I can no longer transfer purchases in the latest iTunes (12.3). Having just updated to iOS 9 I’ve had a lot of apps update, so I have over 100 apps to transfer across to my Mac for safekeeping (I do use iCloud though, of course). Why is this no longer working? Is it iTunes, El Capitan or iOS 9 that’s at fault? Nial Worthington Paul Blachford says… We’ve noticed the same thing, Nial, and have asked for clarification from Apple. We’ll tweet something as soon as we hear from them. It does appear to be a bug in iTunes rather than iOS or OS X (it affects Yosemite with iTunes 12.3 too). There’s a long thread here where others have been pointing out this issue: https://discussions. apple.com/thread/7218207.
