UbikReader update in App store but not installed on Macbook Pro

I have an update showing as available in the App Store (UbikReader, by UbikLabs), but I have never installed this application on any of my Macs.  I have used both Spotlight and EasyFind to search my macbook for UbikReader & UbikLabs -- and nothing is found.
If I click the Update button next to the app, it will autofill the credentials for the app it would have been downloaded with ([email protected]).  A quick google search shows that this account has been compromised and the password is floating around on the internet.  I'm assuming someone/something attempted some sort of an install but it never completed.
My question is this....  if I don't have the app installed, I can't delete it;  without using the widely available credentials, I can't Update the app to remove the notification...  How can I remove any left-over from an application that doesn't appear to have been installed on my cmputer and/or my account?  I would like for it to stop showing up as an available update in the App Store.
Thanks!

I found the solution for my issue in a similar post:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/21055428#21055428.  The recommendation worked for me and the App Store is no longer showing an available update for UbikReader.  Thanks to seventy one for the recommendation/fix!
"You could try reindexing your HDD.   The MAS uses the Spotlight indexing in determining what apps need updating.   Go to Systems Preferences / Spotlight/ Privacy; add your Hdd to the list then remove it from that list.   Spotlight will then reindex your HDD."

  • The iMovie 11 update I just bought from the App Store will not install on Macbook Pro

    I have a Macbook Pro and I have iLife 09, I updated all the other iLife 09 apps to iLife 11 (iPhoto, Garage Band) . So I bought the update for iMovie yesterday and it seems to downloaded fine but when I click the install button it doesn't do anything. Can you guys point me in the right direction to get this installed
    Thanks

    You have a corrupted old system. At the very least you need to repair the hard drive and permissions before trying to install Mountain Lion. However, this my not be sufficient. You may need to reinstall your old system before trying to install Mountain Lion.
    Of course it would be more useful were you to provide the full information on the error message and what OS X version you currently have installed. Also check that you can install Mountain Lion on your model:
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it and save to do later?

    I'm getting the free Lion download for new Macs from the Mac App Store, but am not ready to install it yet. It appears that apps (including Lion?) from the App Store automatically install themselves. Is there any way to save an App Store download (.dmg?) for later installation without having it automatically install? I asked Apple Support via chat, and they said it could be installed later but couldn't tell me how.

    The Lion download is different than small apps. What you get with Lion is an installer. But be sure to make an extra copy because after using the installer it deletes itself.

  • App store does not open on Macbook pro

    For the last couple of months App Store has been inaccessible from my MacBook Pro. The App Intro Screen with the large A just sits there and does nothing. I still get notices of upgrades and am able to do these. But there is no access to the App Store from my own screen.
    I have tried trashing the preferences apple appstore plist files but that made no difference.
    What do I do to get the App Store app working again?

    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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

    Hi Kees ...
    Your profile indicates you are running Leopard v10.5.8
    You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard V10.6 in order to use the App Store. This is an "upgrade", not an "update".
    Make sure your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements here.
    You must have the minimum of v10.6.6 installed in order to access the App Store.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard here > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store

  • App Store is missing from my MacBook Pro

    App Store is missing from my MacBook Pro. I've done all the necessary software updates but cannot find it in any folders, even when searching via spotlight.

    Does the Apple menu have a link to the MAS? What version of Mac OS X 10.6 are you running? Is this a new MBP? If so, did you use the new MBP's update for Mac OS X 10.6.7?

    To gain Internet access for the MacBook Pro, you will either need your own Internet service provided by an ISP or access to another Wi-Fi network that has Internet service.
    Your MBP has a built-in wireless adapter, called an AirPort Extreme Card. This adapter is able to connect to just about any Wi-Fi network available today.
    If you opt to get your own Internet service, most ISPs will provide you as a minimum an Internet modem. Some also offer a wireless version of this device. For those that do not, you will also need an Internet router (wired or combination wired/wireless) in order for your MBP's wireless to connect.

  • App Store does not install

    I am running OS X 10.6.8 and the App Store is missing. I have tried multiple reinstalls (including the 10.6.8 v1.1 update combo) but it does not help. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but can't do so without the App Store. I have contacted support and they are of no help. Before I ran the update the icon would show in my applications folder but there was the international symbol of the "O" with the line through it.  After the updatre I cannot find the App Store icon at all and anytime I try and access Mountain Lion through the App Store - Safari crashes. Ugh...
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply. All is up to date - wish i could just install the App Store but that apparently is not possible,,,

  • Click on app link goes to App Store but not the app

    Since I updated to iOS 6, clicking on a direct link to an app gets me to the store but not the particular app.
    Then I have to remember the exact name and search for it. In previous iOS I could get to the app directly.
    This is most annoying. How do I change this behavior?

    Well, it still is not working as I expected.
    Sometimes, if I click on the link, it will go to the app store and produce a blank white screen.
    If I go back to the link, in an email or web page, and try again, then the desired app will pop up when it goes to the app store. Sometimes the app store will just quit. Then if I go back to the store it will show the desired app.

  • Mac App store will not install / run

    My mac says that OSX 10.6.6 is installed. If I attempt in launch the app store, the icon appears in the dock briefly then disappears. It is the same if its launched from Applications or Apple menu. I tried to uninstall the app store then re- installing 10.6.6 combo but I get an 'Unknown error occurred during the installation of this software....' The App re-appears in the Apps folder but still fails to run. I have checked disk permissions, tried re-installing but the same error persists.

    Hi,
