List,

 

Please ignore the message I just posted requesting assistance manually
updating app versions to my computer using iTunes 12.4. I wasn't fully
checking the screen for an update button with focus placed on the app
containing the update. I just successfully updated my Dictionary app and I
apologize for the false start.

Hello Mark and Others,

 

Now that I've updated my Windows 7 computer to iTunes 12.4 and updated my
iPhone 6 to iOS 9.3.2, I've gone back and reviewed the older posts
discussing how to manually upgrade app versions to one's computer using
iTunes now that this is no longer automatically done with iOS 9.x. I believe
Mark Taylor posted the original message about this last October and I
believe Anna Dresner has also commented on it.

 

Here is my current issue which I haven't been able to resolve by following
those posts. A number of app upgrades showed up in the Apps Store after I
upgraded to iOS 9.3.2. I suspect these weren't previously available to me
since I was running iOS 8.3. I upgraded a handful of these on my iPhone. One
of these upgrades was to Dictionary Pro version 5.1 by Farlex so I now have
version 5.1 of this app on my iPhone but have version 4.5 of it in my iTunes
library on my computer. With my device disconnected from my computer, I go
into apps within iTunes, select the Updates  button at the top of the
screen, and get a grid view of the apps in my library which I assume have
available updates. This is where I run into a problem because I'm not seeing
any way to manually update them on the computer. I get no option to do this
when right clicking or calling up a context menu when on the Updates tab
with the app selected. I also get no such option to update it when I place
focus on the My Apps tab, view them as a list, and place focus on the ones I
want to manually update. I know Mark's original post instructed us to start
iTunes without a device connected, go into Apps, and manually update those
for which you wanted to get versions transferred to your computer. I just
can't figure out how to do this.

 

I don't know if this has changed with the recent iTunes 12.4 upgrade but I
sure would appreciate any help with how to do this. I did note that a new
app I had downloaded to my iPhone did transfer into my iTunes library on my
computer. Only the existing apps already there for which I grabbed newer
versions on my iPhone didn't automatically transfer.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
