Organizing apps

I just got an iPad air. I plugged it into iTunes but I cannot organize my apps through iTunes. I tried double click them and that doesn't work either. I tried plugging my iPhone 5 in and that does work. I and on iTunes 11.1.3.8

Try organizing them on the iPad instead:

Deleting, Rearranging and Grouping Apps

I know I can do it that way, it's just going to be a pain to do that with 100+ apps

I was just told by Support that the feature of being able to organize Apps thru ITunes is no long a feature available with IOS 11.0.3.  Why the developers would remove such a user friendly way to organize apps and view all the screen at the same time is idiotic.!!!

Management of apps, books, and tones has been removed from iTunes 12.7. See Changes in the new iTunes - Apple Support for details. The intention is clearly that management of these generally takes place on the device.

See the Manually add items from your computer section of Manually manage content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iTunes - Apple Support for the control that remains. This can be used to copy apps (including apps that have been withdrawn from the store), ePubs, iBooks, PDFs, and tones from your computer to your device. The File Sharing feature for copying data between apps and the computer is still there. You can also use iCloud Drive, or Dropbox to move content to and from the device.

A long time criticism of iTunes, at least from some quarters, is that has been that it has become bloated. Perhaps this is an attempt to address that. I let both my iOS devices update automatically when there is an updated app, and I'm not interested in hanging on to old apps that a developer has withdrawn, nor do I need to rearrange my apps often, so while the change is drastic, I don't think it really affects me much. I'm more irritated by the changes to iTunes U, and iBooks in iTunes for Windows.

See Deploy apps in a business environment with iTunes - Apple Support for access to iTunes 12.6.3 if you want to revert to a build with app management features. Windows users need to uninstall the current copy of the iTunes application first. See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for steps to revert to a pre-iTunes 12.7 version of your iTunes database.
