I bought a new MacBook two weeks ago, and have been working on moving content from my iPhone 3GS to the new iTunes. My old XP desktop died, so I couldn't transfer content from a backup of the old iTunes.

At any rate, I hooked up my iPhone to the MacBook today, did a right-click > Transfer Purchases to move apps from my iPhone to iTunes. The Apps tab shows all my apps, but I don't see the old "Update Applications" button, which was present in the Windows version of iTunes I was using.

I liked the fact that I could fire up iTunes, look for updated apps, download, and then sync to my iPhone. Did Apple remove that functionality from iTunes 9.0.2? BTW, my iPhone is jailbroken if that makes a difference...

Thanx all!
