App Store constantly shows 1 update avail ...

but no update actually is. This happens when I quit App Store. When I reopen the App Store, the 1 update option disappears. What's going on?

Getting rid of that irksome red No1.   Two solutions I know of.
Completely remove the app with AppZapper or the like.  Then reinstall it. Reinstalling it will be free because you would have already paid for it.   The new install would then be the updated version.
And Dah*veed wrote this recently to offer the following solution.    
You could try reindexing your HDD.   The MAS uses the Spotlight indexing in determining what apps need updating.   Go to Systems Preferences / Spotlight/ Privacy; add your Hdd to the list then remove it from the list.   Spotlight will then reindex your HDD.  
This has worked for me.

  • I deleted an app downloaded from the Mac App Store, Mac App Store is showing an update for deleted app.

    I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year.  Its not a pirated copy or anything.  I deleted the app cause I never used it.  After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app.  When I click update, it just re-downloads the app.   Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it.  I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely.  How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks

    Hide the app from your Purchases list. Sign into your account (Store menu). Go to Purchases pane, right click on the app in question, Hide the app.

  • App store wrongly shows 1 update needed.

    My App store indicates I have one App to update ... (a little red circle with a 1 inside it) ... but the list of Udates shows everything is up to date. Ive re-booted and it makes no difference.
    What should I do? (this is for iOS 8.2 )
    Thanks

    Wait it out. That's what I do when it happens to me - and it does happen to me from time to time. Eventually it will be corrected. If you force closed the App Store app and reset or restarted the iPad, there really isn't anything else that you can do other than maybe restore the device and I think that would be a little bit of overkill for this little annoyance.
    IF you didn't force close the App Store, you can try that, but I don't think its going to make a difference. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.

  • Have Yosemite. App Store only showing Mavericks update

    Hello!
    I've been on Yosemite since it launched publicly, but the App Store has only ever shown updates for Mavericks and have never seen the 10.10.1 update show up.
    When I click 'UPDATE' on the 10.9.5 update, nothing happens.
    The About screen isn't bugged either, as I do have all the new features of Yosemite and use them regularly.
    Any idea what's going on here?
    Thanks!

    Hmmm, never mind, the problem has mysteriously fixed itself thankfully :-)

  • My OS X does not have app store and has no updates available

  • GarageBand 10.0.3 - App Store keeps telling me update available

    Hi. I'm running Yosemite on an iMac. I updated to GarageBand 10.0.3 -- 5 times!
    Every time I start App Store > Updates, it tells me that v10.0.3 is available. I download it completely, and App Store reports that there are no more updates.
    However one or two days later, App Store reports v10.0.3 is available again.
    Can someone tell me what's going on, and what I can do to "convince" the App Store that I really have 10.0.3 installed?
    Thanks very much.
    David

    Hi leonie. Thanks for your reply.
    I am rebuilding the Spotlight index for all my drives now. I'll know within 1-2 days if the App Store tells me that the same update is available.
    Thanks.

  • Itune's app store keeps showing same updates?

    I check for updates to my iOS apps and I keep getting the same updates even after I downloaded them. Why is this? It's vary ignoring. I have rebooted the mac and quit and relaunch iTunes but nothing seem to get rid of this issue. I don't want to delete my library file and start over. Is there a way to repair or any tool that will rebuild the library without starting from scratch?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • HT2404 Although I have selected the recent OS X 10.8.3 update several times, waited for the installation to take place, then Restarted at the prompt the App Store still shows the update to be outstanding. How can I tell if the update has completed?

    When I choose 'About This Mac' from the Apple pull down, I get a pop up that says I'm only updated through version 10.8.2... My question has changed - why is my iMac not taking the 10.8.3 update?

    From several others:
    Download the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo) at

  • App Store keeps showing update for program that has been uninstalled

    The App Store keeps showing an update available for Virus Barrier Express even after I have removed it completely from my system.  Going into the Purchased list shows it is not installed.  When the application was installed it always said there was an update.  No matter how many times you clicked Update and allowed it to download and install the update, the App Store still showed the update needed to be installed.
    On another machine it constantly shows an update for one of the installed applications but clicking the update button doesn't clear the update once it's been downloaded and installed.
    Deleting the App Store preference hasn't resolved the issue.  Enabling the debug menu and using the Reset Applications option has not either.

    I found out what was causing my problem (can't re-install an app that I deleted and which was purchased from the App Store). The app I was trying to re-install under Lion was Apple's Compressor v4 which is only available through the Mac App Store. However, even though I was booting from my one-and-only copy of Lion the Mac App Store was apparently getting confused by an old copy of Compressor v3.5 that was installed on another boot disk that I maintain for Snow Leopard. I'm running on a quad-disk Mac Pro so all four disks mount whenever I start the system. In any case, all I had to do was unmount the other disks and the Mac App Store then allowed me to install Compressor v4 on my Lion system.
    The reason I was able to pinpoint this solution is that I wanted to run another Mac App Store app (Find Any File) and even though the Store said it was "Installed" I couldn't find the application in either the Lion Application folder or within LaunchPad. I then realized that the App Store was referencing the copy of that app that was stored on my Snow Leopard disk and unmounting that disk finally allowed me to install both Compressor v4 and Find Any File on my actual/current boot disk (i.e. Lion).
    Now, the odd thing about this problem is that Compressor v4 wasn't installed on any of my disks, it was the older version of Compressor (v3.5.3) that apparently was preventing me from installing the new version 4 on my Lion system. In fact, Compressor v3.5.3 crashes immediately under Lion so that version of the app isn't even usable when I'm running Lion.
    So, if you're having a problem with installation or app removal or updates from the Mac App Store try dismounting any other disks which you might have attached to your Mac and see it that solves your problem. If it does solve the problem then you can almost be assured that the cause of your difficulty is some file that is present on one of your other disks (i.e. app may not even be on your current boot disk).

  • App Store has badge showing 8 Updates available but when I open the App Store, there are none showing under the Updates tab

    My App Store Icon has a Badge showing that there are 8 Updates available.  When I open up the App Store and go to Updates, the screen is blank.  This is the first time I've experienced this and I don't find any other discussions in the Apple Communities.  This is only happening on my iPad 4.  My iPhone 5 is working perfectly. 

    It seems Apple is having some issues at their end. There have been hundreds of posts on the forum with the same problem.

  • App Store icon shows updates available, but all apps up to date

    Just bought Iphone 5c, second day, App store icon shows updates available, but PC, store and other Iphones show none.  Tried resetting, updates to ios 8.02, synching, going through each app individually to see if there is an update, no luck.
    Wnen I reset, the icon shows a badge with 7 updates available.  I opened App Store, bottom right (update icon) showed the same.  Tapped it, the update screen appears (as normal), and the 7 on the update icon disappeared, screen says UPDATES All apps are up to date.  However, on the home screen, the App store badge still shows 7 updates.
    Anyone else having the same prob?  What is the fix?

    Tried that, tries a soft reset, and a hard reset, no luck.  Funny thing is, my other iphones and IPad work fine, its just the Iphone 5.
