I have an ipad 1 and an iphone 4s, how do I manage these in iTunes given that they are different ios versions (5 and 6)?

My iPhone 4s is on iOS 6 and that is fine (with various known issues of course). My iPad is using iOS 5 and does not support iOS 6, and here lies the problem.
iTunes suggests updates to my Apps, some of which become iOS 6 only making them unusable on my iPad. I can't transfer these iOS 5 compatible versions of the Apps to iTunes because they are seen as older, and if I remove them from the iPad I can no loinger install them as I can't run iOS 6 on the iPad.
This is madness and very poor design by Apple whereby their closed management tools (iTunes) cannot actually manage a situation they have crerated themselves.
If I could at least identify which Apps in my library where iOS 6 only, I could feasibly try to locate these in my Time Machine backups and keep them manually backed up for my iPad, but Apple haven't even though tof allowing me to do this. Or perhaps they have in a hiddne feature somehow!!
Does anyone know if there is a way to identify Apps that only support iOS 6?
Even if this required a terminal search for a string within .plist files or something.
Help, my iPad is losing functionality by the day...
Thanks
Chris

And I can't find this "on this page" item people are talking about.
