Hi. OK, I've been living under a rock- aka very busy, and I did not know that Apple has changed the way iTunes backs up applications locally on disk. Every time I try to do a backup, I see that the number of applications stored on disk has not changed; it's constant, despite the fact that I've since installed new apps on my iPhone. It used to be the case that doing a device backup would backup all my apps locally on disk, but Apple seems to have changed that.
Is there another way that I could backup my apps with iTunes? Am I doing something wrong? Another wrinkle- I'm using my older laptop for iTunes, and it's stuck on Vista (yes I know, I have other laptops but I've never migrated iTunes), so my iTunes version is 12.1.3 (not the absolute latest).
Thanks for any help.
