Yes, older versions of Apps are often better (no ads for one).
Just ignore the badge notification.

Welll... you could just delete the apps, which would also eliminate the updates...

How to get rid of app store update notification

I have run the updates I want after purchasing Mountain Lion, and wished to install only 5 of the 10 or so updates available. Nonetheless I am continually being asked to update the other 5 elements which I do no want. How do I get rid of the "update available" tag on the AppStore icon in the dock?

I just wanted to *confirm* the solution proposed by R C-R. (2014 July, OSX 10.9.2)
1. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu.
2. From the "Store" menu, verify that you are signed in (by seeing the "Sign Out" menu item) & If necessary, sign in.
3. Right (or Control) Click on an update you want to ignore anywhere in its entry except on the "Instal" button. [iBurger: click on the area, NOT THE BUTTON]
4. "Hide Update" (not "Ignore Update") should appear in a popup. Choose that option to stop the reminders.
To reverse the process & reveal all the updates you have hidden, choose "Show All Software Updates…" from the Store menu. (That menu choice only appears if you have hidden one or more updates.)

How do I get rid of App Store notification for a software update that does not conform to the OS that I am using?

I am using Snow Leopard and have no wish to upgrade to Lion. App Store notification indicates that there is an iPhoto 11 update available. When I try to update, the error message indicates that I need Lion to download the update. The notification red circle with the one in it sits attached to the App Store icon and will not go away.
I know that Apple knows that I'm on Snow Leopard, so why bother sending me and update notification that is irrelevant to me.
Any solutions to getting rid of the red circle on the App Store icon?
Thanks in advance,
Sateach

Is there a known issue with the apple app store update page for th ipad?

Is anyone else getting the ipad app store update page problems?
When i go to that page on my ipad i get an error " cannot connect to itunes store " but im allowed to still browse the store. Just cant update my items through he update page..... I do have full bars on my wifi :)

I'm not sure that either of these will work, but you can give them a try.
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
Here is the Apple help article for more advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting steps. You might want to look at this.

I don't think that this will be the issue - but it can't hurt to look and make sure.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.

How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?

I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
(I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!

Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

App store: Updates; get rid of past updates?!!

OS7 has a VERY ANNOYING(and useless in my opinion) thing that when you update an app...it's listed with the date you updated it. How do I get rid of the "past updates" in the app store 'update' menu?

The disappear after a week or two. I find it very USEFUL, especially if you have automatic updates enabled. It's the only way you know an app has been updated. And even if you don't have automatic updating available, its an easy way to go back and check the "What's New" section under each app. I also don't find it inconvenient, as all of the latest updates are always at the top of the list.

Get rid of mac app store update??

I had to do a clean install of snow leopard because i didnt like the way lion ran on my macbook. 2 days later i saw an app store update icon. I found it odd since i hadnt added any apps yet. it said there is an update for the store news update. but i dont have that app so i tried to install it and delete it but it says i have to sign in with some strange email. im lost and dont know how that is possible. can someone please explain how to get rid of it?

Here's a theory about this...
When you set up your SL system, did you reinstall or continue to use your own software like personal apps, games, etc.? If so, were they all from "legitimate" sources? If not, it is possible you have a hacked version of some software which originally came from the app store and that hacked version has a _MASReceipt from the app that's confusing you.
Once upon a time a simple hack was to take the _MASReceipt from some free app store app and replace the _MASReceipt's in a non-free app store app. I think that hole is long since sealed. But if there is a wayward _MASReceipt floating around in some app bundle then the App Store stuff added to systems beyond 10.6.5 is going to find it. Apparently the app the _MASReceipt's originally came from for has been updated and you are being notified about it. And I guess _MASReceipt's contain account info adding to the confusion.
So you need to check for a _MASReceipt in some app bundle. Download a search utility that can look into app bundles, e.g., Find Any Fiile, and tell it to search for _MASReceipt. You will see a checkbox on top that says Show Package Contents. Keep that checked. It will then search within application bundles. If there's a _MASReceipt somewhere, someplace, you should be able to find it. Then trash the app that contains it.
Again, just my theory.

Looks O.K. to me Opens correctly in Firefox and Opera as a log-in page for Killer Content - Win7x64 Fx5.
I can't see any oddities in your plug-ins. It never hurts to clear any relevant cookies and your cache.
You could see how it goes in Safe Mode - Hold Shift key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens and continue. If the page opens you probably have a problem with extensions or themes and you should work through this -
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
A lot of things have been updated as well as Firefox and you could have a culprit or conflict. Next, if there is no improvement you could try disabling third party toolbars, and you should report back at this stage or if there has been early success.
Someone may come by with a more specific remedy.

Is there a way to remove installed updates from the App Store update window? I keep getting an alert that I have an update for Apple Remote Desktop. It says its installed, but the alert and the app keep showing up. Annoying!!

App store updates I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

On my iphone under the App store updates, I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

Thanks for responding turingtest2 - I finally worked it out (no thanks to Apple!) - I am in South Africa at the moment and availability of content here is very limited (it seems) according to the bloggers - when I looked there is a tiny faint grey note at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/download ...
it seems to pick up South Africa and the UK - in fact I have set up an alternative UK apple ID so I suppose it sees my ipad, checks my "accounts" and constructs the note accordingly? Weird.
It would have been REALLY helpful to have a clear indication of content availability when setting up the South African account. I have found the several places where the experts explain how to work around this problem with fake US addresses and voucher payments. I don't want to do that.
I have to say that my limited experience with iTunes and Apple over three years (previously on PC/Windows) is way below what I would expect from Apple inc ... this incident must have wasted four hours of my life ...

App store updates icons go from update to open & remain on screen. How do I get them to disappear from the update screen?

App store - UPDATES screen - icon status is UPDATE - hit UPDATE ALL - icon status changes to OPEN - icons remain on screen
How do I get the updated icons to disappear from the Updates screen?

This is a new feature of iOS 7. A record is kept of which apps were updated and when. Tis is useful if you have apps set to automatically update.

How can I get Apple Remote Desktop to disappear from my App Store updates list?

My Apple Remote Desktop software shows up in my App Store updates list. But I have already updated it to version 3.6.1 and it shows as "Installed". It is greyed out and will not go away. Any ideas on how to make it disappear is most appreciated.

All the suggestions I have read have not worked for me.
But you can try:
Running Software Update from the Apple Menu
Logging in to the Mac App Store with the account that purchased ARD
Deleting various Apple Store .plist files
NB I haven't tried removind ARD and reinstalling.
