App Store Continually Updates iMovie

Since installing Mavericks, I've been asked to install iMovie constantly. Despite having upgraded to the lastest version (10.0) the App Store seems unable to recognize it as such and will download and reinstall.
This is what it looks like:
And here is my list of "recently installed" apps...

Here is the fix as per Apple Care Support if anyone else is looking for this: Remove iMovie 9.0.9.
When you install iMovie 10.0 it keeps your old copy of iMovie 9 in a seperate folder. In some cases (at least in mine) the App Store continues to see the old version and assumes you need an update.
To remove iMovie 9.0.9, go into your Applications folder and just drag the folder called "iMovie 9.0.9" into the trash.
Keep in mind that there may be some features in the earlier iMovie that didn't make it into the newest version, so be sure that you're willing to lose them if you delete the old iMovie from your machine.
I did not try it but it is also possible that simply moving the old iMovie to a different locatin on your machine will allow you to keep the application without the App Store seeing it and attempting to update every two seconds.

Error (18) from App Store while updating iMovie

Hi,
I met two errors consecutively from App Store when trying to update iMovie on a MacBook Pro (running Mountain Lion) bought this year. First, it says
"We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (18)".
then followed with another error
"These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update".
Attached are the images (apologies for the resolution). Does anyone have idea why this happens and how to overcome it?
Thanks,
Stanly

If you originally installed iPhoto from an iLife DVD, or if it came preinstalled on a Mac that shipped with installation discs, then you can't update it in the App Store. Depending on what version it is, there may be an updater you can use on the Apple Support website. Otherwise you'll have to purchase iPhoto from the App Store.

Since I upgraded to os x maverick when I try to close with cmd + q from the drop-down menu the app store and I IMOVE reopen continuously.

2 GB of RAM is pretty tight. I imagine that's at the very low end of what Yosemite wants, which could slow things down.
As far as scroll direction, you can always change it in the trackpad settings. Unsure why it got flipped, but you can fix it in about 5 seconds. Choose "natural" (or don't) depending on how you like it.

The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates.

The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates, but am not positive. Has anyone else expierenced this?
I know it was a clean install where I deleted all the support files as well.

OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X Heres the link if anyone else had the same problem!! This is if you deleted not only the Mac App Store, but iTunes, Calendar, whatever came with the Mac (Apps that came already installed on the Mac), if you deleted one of those then you have to reinstall the Mac OS, Note: This one is for Mac OS X (Maverick) my version is 10.9.4, go to that link and follow the instructions if you have Mac OS X (Maverick). Other help: Common Mistake: If you delete the app from the dock then just go to finder and applications folder and drag the app back onto the dock(it was just deleted from the dock NOT your system/computer). Hope that helps others who had the same problem.

Mac App Store, Evernote and iMovie will not let me click on anything

After I open the App Store/Software Update, anything within the App Store is unclickable (even the menu bar at the top of the screen). I have to force quit the application in order to close it. I have tried to restart the computer, to no avail. I get the same results whether I open the "App Store" or I go through "Software Update". If I get an update reminder pop up notification, I can click 'install' on that, but it does nothing after it goes away. The only available update the App Store shows available is iMovie ver. 10.0.5. Everything responds to my mouse when I hover over an item, but I can't click on anything.
Also, this is happening to one other application so far. Evernote. I have used Evernote for some time without a problem, but soon after this began to occur, my Evernote started showing the same symptoms.
•     I have Sophos for virus software. I turned it off, no change.
•     I checked my firewall settings and App Store connections are allowed.
•     I don't have any Apps like Little Snitch, at least that I am aware of that would block connections

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

App Store icon on iPad is showing there is 1 update, but when App Store is launched all apps are up to date (there are no updates to be applied).

What to do now?

ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you

HT4623 How do I delete from the apps store an updated app that was downloaded? Prior to iso7.2.0 once the app was downloaded it was automatically deleted from the updated section in the App Store.

How do I delete from the apps store an updated app that was downloaded and shows open? Prior to iso7.2.0 once the app was downloaded it was automatically deleted from the App Store.

You don't.
The update section will continue to show recently updated apps due to the ability to auto download updates.
It effects nothing, just ignore them.

Why doesn't App Store remove updated alerts

iOS 8.1x App Store continues to retain alert notification AFTER an app has been installed/ updated.
This has only occurred since adding iOS upgrade to iPh 4S.
Thanks
dave

Thanks,
but you You misunderstand- the ALERT NOTIFICATION remains on the App Store icon regardless of the updated status.
That is ridiculous. I do not need an alert telling me about something I have already upgraded. Even after 'Open' of apps the alert does not get removed.
An old alert has only departed after new ones replaced it. Dave

Sed an iPad from someone and I want to go into App Store to update apps, but when I click on the update button, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password. How do I replace their username w/ mine?

I purchased an ipad from someone and i set up my apple id for it but when i go to the app Store to update apps, i click on the update button for an app, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password. How do I replace their username w/ mine? It doesn't give me an option... Help! Please!

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row.

App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row. Even when I go to the specific app and press Update, the update begins to install then aborts with this error message.iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1. Also very long delay typing each keystroke in this message.

That error message is usually indicative of a problem with the App Store. If you look through the forums, you'll see that a number of people are experiencing the problem. Try again tomorrow.

I can't access to my app store after update to IOS 7. It write that " Cannot connect to the App Store. You must connect to a wi-fi or mobile data network to access the app store". But, in fact, my mobile data is running well. Any solution?

When i go to the app store to update the one app that needs to be updated, the screen is blank. It used to list all the apps that need updating and have a button called update all. Now nothing. Just a blank screen.

There's been a problem with this all day. Seems to be a server problem - wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

HT204266 app store continually shows '1' but all apps up to date

I have an iPhone 3GS, after installing Real Racing 2, after installing version 1.13.01 (H491), the Apple Apps store continually re-displays a '1' notification, even if I go in to it, it shows 'all apps up to date', has anyone else had this problem? I have not contacted firemint yet, does installing iOS 5 fix this problem?

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.

I have an app in my App Store under updates under purchased that I'd like to get removed from my phone. How do I do that?
