How do I remove the app store update notification?

I have update notifcations appearing on my App Store icon, and also (very annoyingly) constantly popping up as notifications on screen all day long (I keep clicking them away every time). I've tried to update the apps (no pirates) and the App Store tells me to sign in to do this. I sign in, then it says I need to sign in using the details I used to purchases the apps. But the apps came with the purchase of my MacBook (iPhotos, iMovies and Pages), not via an Apple ID. Can anyone tell me how I update these, or get rid of the pop-up notification?

Remove the App Store update Badge notifications

How can I remove the App Store update Badge notifications?

you CAN delete them it has to do with metadata!! google metadata removal of notifications and there will be plenty of explanations, Also look it up on youtube, I just finished watching a video on it!! there are always ways to remove things on any operating system, Just some are easier than others. if you don't know or only have wrong info to give then just keep your trap shut!!!! obviously there is a way to go around everything, Hackers have taught sony and the government all about this! (common sense) so if you don't know move along!! obviously I'm not advocating hacking, What I am advocating is people in chat rooms judging others or giving misleading info just to mess with others. You don't have anything more important to do than to try and misguide an innocent until proven guilty user with a question? Just because they don't want to update an app doesn't mean they are "doing something illegal:" many apps with updates lose features and actually makes an app that we use to enjoy very much, now not so great!! you all know I'm right because anyone with a smartphone has been through this, Do i update or not? we've all had that question. and as far as apple is concerned, had everyone "updated" there software last year when they rolled out the new what i like to call SECURITY BREACH update a lot more than the millions that were already exposed would be ****** off too!! Software update for the most part is a good thing, they fix bugs and allow our machines to run smoother, but don't for one moment think that the software updates are without flaws and certainly don't think they "the apps companies" have your best interest in mind!!

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.)

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!!

If re-indexing the spotlight doesn't fix it,we can try a few other tricks.

I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

I have some problems to get the App Store on my mac. Every time when I do a Software Update, there is no App Store to download.
How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
Thanks!

As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

If you can't find it on any of your home screens or via the spotlight search screen then check to see if it's hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off'

You can't delete your purchase history, you can only hide it (in iTunes on your computer).

How can I fix the problem in my iPhone 4s where the app store updates screen is blank?

I have a problem with the apps store updates in my iPhone 4S. It doesn't display the updates, it's just a blank white screen. I tried hardstarting my phone a number of times, holding the home button at startup when the apple logo appears until it dissapears but the problem still persists. Can anyone show me how to resolve this problem?
Many thanks!

It is perfectly accurate.. it is simply not showing 50 degrees because you have it set to Celcius.
Change it to Farenheit and it will display what you are accustomed to.

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix?

The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix? Updated everything and synced. App Sore icon shows there are updates.

Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

Already bought iWork. How do I get the App Store to recognize App purchases that I've made over the past few years?

I know I'm not the only person experiencing this issue, but I can't find who else has a solution. Essentially, I've been buying Mac Apps over the past few years and using them frequently. Now the App Store exists. Awesome. But how do I get the App Store to understand that I have all those past purchases and serial numbers? I'd love to download the Apps through the App Store because it's a better system of downloading and updating apps, but that convenience isn't worth the extra $300-400 I'd spend re-downloading all those apps.
Does anyone have any advice or experience with a work around to this?
Thanks in advance.

As Carolyn has told you, you cannot opt Apple apps that you have acquired from some other distribution stream into the MAS stream. Period. It does not work that way. It will not be working that way. And many folks have come here wanting it to work that way over the last seven months or so that the MAS has existed.
If your End User License Agreement does not allow you to install the apps that you have on your new Mac, then the only way to get it today for the new Mac is to buy it from the MAS. The MAS apps use a different type of DRM and there are no serial numbers involved, they are tied to your Apple ID. If you are not ready at this time to purchase apps from the MAS then I would remove the apps from any older Macs and install them on the new Mac to transfer your EULA there. Then when a major paid upgrade becomes available in the future opt that app into the MAS by buying it through the MAS. That should be the only way to get the app in the future, Apple no longer is issuing boxed apps, just currently selling off any of the surviving stock.

How do I remove an app from "Updates" tab

So here is the rub, I installed the free 1.69v of DropCopy on my MacBookPro by mistake. I am already a Multi-License user. How do I remove an app from "Updates" tab, in the App Store? When i tried to use it it reverts back to the free version.
Thought I wold start here first then talk with 10base-t next.

Hi,
The v10.6.7 "combo" update addresses MAS bugs. You can download and install from this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
Restart your Mac after the update is installed. It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

How do I remove my App store information from a Mac about to be sold

How do I remove my App Store information from
a Mac about to be sold ?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")
