[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1707150"] I am running 10.11.4, IOS 9.3 on my iPhone. iTunes is 12.3.3.17. I have noted that some time in the past the update function for apps changed behavior. Before the change, any updated app I had downloaded would automatically download to the iPhone when I synced. I noticed that the process of syncing would go to the "Preparing to copy items" step and then immediately come to an end. When I looked at the list of apps, there were some marked "Update" and when I clicked on that tab, it changed to "Will Update." A sync now took longer, and the step "Preparing..." was followed by "Copying..." So, has iTunes changed behavior or am I missing something? I looked in Preferences and can't see anything obvious. I'd really like NOT to have to download, then do a bunch of checking before I sync. And as it is, when I run the App store on the iPhone, it sees everything as needing updating and that consumes bandwidth that there is no reason to duplicate. So, can I get iTunes to do what it used to do, just go ahead and update anything for which I download an update? BTW, I put it in this forum because although it's technically an Application and also an iPhone application, it comes as part of OS X. If that's lousy logic, move it, please. [/QUOTE]
