Close app store pop up without opening it?

This is for on the computer. I have 10.8.5 (so Mountain Lion I believe) anyway, the app store will sometimes have a pop-up in the left hand corner telling me I have updates.
Well that's great and all, but I don't want that thing to be hanging out there all day (I'm not the type of person to click "update" just because it gives one, and please don't give that to me as an answer or as "advice".) but no matter how I click on it to close it, it ALWAYS forces the app store application to open.
I don't want it to open, I just want to get the pop-up off my desktop because it covers movies and games whenever I decide to play them.
So my question is, is there a way to get that pop-up to go away without having to open the app store and then close the app store?

If, using the search function the right, search the iPad forum for:
itunes AND app AND store
you will find past discussions on your problem.
This one looks promising:

  • App Store version won't open. "Warning. The Library in "Users/me/Pictures/A

    App Store version won't open. When I click on the icon, I get the following pop-up. "Warning. The Library in "Users/me/Pictures/aperture library.aplibrary" cannot be upgraded" and then an option to quit. So the App does not even launch. I deleted and re-downloaded it and the same happens. It is a new 15" Mac pro, all software up to date. I use iPhoto for all my existing photos, located in the Pictures folder on the hard drive (all default settings). Help please appreciated.

    Thank you. That did it, but now when I have imported from iPhoto library, all my pictures are coming out with patches of Blue or Red (a bit like when you are selecting areas for instant alpha, or when looking for blown out areas of a photo (I am no pro as you can tell). This is the case on most photos (around 9000). Could you help here too?
    Thanks,
    Ian

  • App Store can no longer be opened.  Immediate crash and error message "App Store can not be opened because of a problem"

    App Store won't open, error message "App Store can not be opened because of a problem".  I haven't been able to update anything for a week or so.  I have used Disk Utility, Drive Genius, deleting the .plist, all to no avail.  My Mac Mail hasn't worked since the upgrade to Mavericks.  Mavericks can't see my LaCie Cloudbox.  Can any of these be solved by me? 

    I have the same error "XXXX App cannot be opened because of a problem". And I also cannot open iTunes and get the error "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    Only Apple apps seem to be at issue here...
    Repairing Permissions did not fix this.
    I noticed this after the last Software update. Is there no fix other than re-installing?
    Not happy that an Apple software update killed all my apps...

  • Accidentally deleted an App Store app.  how can I get the icon back on my home screen?  when I search for it in the App Store it comes up 'open'. thanks.

    accidently deleted an app Store app.  how can I get the icon back on my home screen?  in the app store it comes up 'open' instead of install.

    What happens if you tap on open?
    Remember, if you ever want to find an app quickly, you can slide all the way to the left (iOS 6 and lower) or pull down (iOS 7 and later) to get to an app.
    If you know for certain that you have deleated the app, please try restarting your phone. There are many ways to do this, but the safest way would be to hold down the power button and then slide to power down.
    Once powered down, restart and try to find the icon on your screen. If you still can't find it, go into the App Store and then find the app you were trying to access. It should have an iCloud download symbol since you've purchased it before, rather than saying "install."

  • Why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    why is the apple app store popping up NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    Largely due to an overloaded server.   Keep trying, every two hours or so.   I suppose it's all down to when Apple staff turn up for work.     Be patient  
    I have read that it is pretty much restricted to Mountain Lion.
    Hope this helps.

    Try a Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    Does it show in Spotlight a search?

    Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
    That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
    Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps).  Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior.  The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere.  Specific syncs are not relevant.

  • My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

    My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

    Try:
    Reset the iOS device (no data will be lost). Press and hold the Home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. See if the problem persists after the device reboots (it might take a while).
    Download any free app, and then see if any of the other apps, after being re-downloaded, will open.
    Good luck!

    If you are actually running Mac OS X 10.6.8 then download and install http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399. This should re-install the Mac App store.

  • Remove app store pop up from ipads

    how to prevent app store pop ups from ipads

    You don't. Beyond not using the game or site that has such ads, or complaining to the administrators or developers that use it.
    You could look for an ad blocking app, I use weblock but I'm sure there are others that you may like to explore.

  • I can open iTunes and app stores but don't open!!

    I can open iTunes and app stores but don't open!!

    Hi BarbiJ,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend rebuilding the iPhoto library per this article:
    iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2638
    To rebuild the iPhoto library:
    Quit iPhoto if it is open.
    Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard.
    Open iPhoto.
    Keep the keys held down until you are prompted to rebuild the library.
    A dialog will appear with rebuild options. Select the options you want to use.
    Click Rebuild to begin the rebuild process. This may take a few minutes to complete.
    Cheers,
    - Ari
