Unable to view my apps installed in iPad Air on iTunes

I have iPad Air (first generation) with iOS 8.3 installed. I have iTunes 12.1.2.7 installed on my Windows 8 PC.

I have authorized iTunes to access my iPad but I cannot see any apps in my iTunes when I connect my iPad to PC.

I have apps like Amazon and Tumblr but they do not show up in iTunes. Can anyone tell me why is this not working?

You need to scroll down the window a little. Then you can see File sharing. There you can see all the installed apps.

Not sure if this is the correct way, but at least this got the apps synced. So here's what I did.

In the "Home Screens" section open any page. Select and drag any icon moving it to another location or folder. Now in the iTunes you will see buttons of "Apply" and "Revert". Click on "Apply" button and it will start to sync all the apps on your iPad Air to iTunes.

If anyone has a better solution do post it as an answer.

I found a convoluted path to get an app to appear. I went to the iTunes App Store, selected iPad

In the right column menu I selected Purchased

I suppose I could have chosen "Download All", but I was interested in only one app, so on that app, I clicked the download from cloud icon in the top right corner of the app icon. After waiting for the download icon to disappear, when I return to my iPad and the Apps pane, I see the app listed.
