Will not update apps

I have a new Macbook Pro and the app store will not let me update iMove, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, or Garage Band. I have updated to the latest version of Mojave and signed out and back in to the app store.

cannot update app Hi, I just got a new 16" macbook pro. When I go to the App Store, it says I have three updates. When I try to update, I keep getting the message "cannot update app". I deleted the three apps I couldn't update. Now, I can't download them, and the App Store still says there's three Apps to update. What can I do about it? (P.S.) The three apps in question are Keynote, Numbers, and Pages.

Mac Store My Mac mini is the 2014 model; I received an update 3 months ago the that made changes to the App Store. The App Store no longer has the category features for finding apps. I was wander if that was a glitch in the update? Also, the updates for pages, number, keynotes and iMovie will not update, the message stated "update incompatible". Is there a way to fix these?

App Store keeps spinning and not downloading my apps I wanted to re-install my previously purchased apps after reformatting my iMac (late 2012) because it was already too slow. It said I can download the latest version that is compatible to my OS, which is Mojave, then started this endless spinning with no sign of progress. This will keep on going for hours.
