App update description is missing - iTunes 12

I am using iTunes 12 with Yosemite. A clean install. Now App updates show up but the description of what was updated in the app is not there. So I know an App needs updating but no longer know what they are updating in the App itself unless I go to the App Store.

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Yes, thank you. I understand. I was the third poster in this thread.


To clarify... when I sit down at my Mac running iTunes 12 on OS 10 X, instead of going to the app store page to view the changes (like the workaround I mentioned prior) for each and every single update available, I instead look at the iPhone in my hand, plugged in to my Mac, open the App Store, and there I view the correlating app updates. I can read all the info missing from iTunes on my Mac in a nice list, as a workaround to the workaround, and then download them to my Mac.


I do the same thing with my iPad because I'd like to read the details of an app update before I download one to my Mac.


Again, I do the reading on the iOS device to help me understand and better execute the actions I'm taking on my Mac.

Yes I understand. You are still using your Mac for downloading updates but use an iOS device as a reader on the side to see the update descriptions all in one screen (a bit like the way the Mac App store does updates).


That is a good way to get around this problem. I still hope they will fix it though.


PS: Tip for if they bring the descriptions back to iTunes: you can use the left and right arrow keys to quickly switch between each app updates and its (now missing) description.
