The problem is how to backup apps to the computer? Do you know how? I'm in iOS 9.0.2. iTunes alternative software couldn't do it yet. Thanks for your help.

No need to mock the man, considering you had to use a search engine to locate it, so stop acting as if you are some sort of computer wizard. It is a valuable piece of information for the layman who knows nothing of these things!
