How do I stop getting updates for games through the app store on my macbook?

I'm continually getting updates for games (also for the usual stuff, but that's fine), is there a way to edit what updates you get? 
Thanks!

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • I just bought a new macbook pro and was able to get iWorks for free but the App Store is trying to charge me for iLife.

    What do I need to do to get my free copy of iLife?

    You should accept the apps within the App Store -> Purchases tab.
    Otherwise delete adoption.plist from /Library/Application Support/App Store/ or /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/
    Of course it depends on the age of your computer. If it was purchased before OS X Lion was released then you need to reinstall the iLife suite from the original DVD.

  • Why can't I update my iPhoto through the App Store?

    I am trying to update my iPhoto (9.3.2). iPhoto came installed. App Store rejects my username/password. States iPhoto may have been cancelled.

  • Is there a way to search for games in the app store based on genre

    how do you search for games based on genre for example i want to search for all games under the role playing game genre?

    There does not appear to be. In Settings/General/Accessibility you can reverse the type of some things from black on white to white on black. You can also set up your iPhone to read text selections to you.

  • How do I check my account for purchases from the App Store

    A regular payment is coming out of my card I would like to know what this is for

    Here are the reasons.
    1. It's buggy.
    2. It's a security nightmare.
    3. It uses too much memory.
    4. It uses too much battery.
    5. It does not support touch gestures.
    6. Adobe was never able to produce a workable version for any Apple devices.
    7. Flash usage is declining.
    and so on...
    Because of all that, Adobe has stopped Flash development for mobile devices.

  • HT201304 How come I can't download any games on the App Store that are free

    Since you provide almost no information at all about your issue, it is very difficult to guess.

  • I cannot update iWork programs through the App Store

    I tried to open iPages after upgrading to Mavericks. I was given a report that the current software could not be opened and to contact the developer. Duh!
    I have tried to download the new version from App Store. It won't do that since I have up to date software according to their record of purchase. I have now deleted and emptied the trash containing these old programs. Now I still can't download new versions.

    Duh! I found the new programs. Consider this problem solved.

  • I have an old iPhone 3 gs. with ios 3.1.3. how can i update it to at least an ios 5 because it will not let me get games on the app store because the ios is so low.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

  • I have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it

    i have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it,, i have iphone 5

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.
