On Mac App Store, Garageband 4.2 show up on my Mac running OS X Catalina 10.15.7, The I click Update, a dialog pop up stated that it cannot be installed on my system. It require OS X 11.0 Big Sur to install
In this case, the update must not show up. Hope Apple will fix this soon
Thank
OK. I've managed to get rid of the annoying update badge (using TimeMachine only) on my iMac Late 2013 running Catalina 10.15.7.
First, make sure you have a TimeMachine backup which includes GarageBand 10.3.5 (or make one).
Second, delete the GarageBand App** by dragging the App icon in Launchpad to the trash. Restart your machine and the red badge will no longer be showing in the App Store icon.
Third, now open a Finder window, select Applications and then enter TimeMachine.
Fourth, Select the latest backup and the finder window will show that last backup's Applications window.
Lastly, scroll down and right click on the GarageBand App icon and choose restore. when it asks "where to" select your Applications folder.
GarageBand will then re-installed and be ready to use.
Obviously, make sure you have backed up all your projects before attempting this.
** do NOT delete this App without a backup as you will NOT be able to re-download it from the App Store.

I have the exact same problem and so does my son in his Mac. If to updated Garageband you need OS X 11.0 Big Sur (we both have Catalina 10.15.7) why send the update notification? It bugs me that it keeps reminding me that I have an update to install and yet I cannot update.
Same here, but don't you mean it is trying to update to GarageBand 10.4.1 not 4.2?
Same here...The GarageBand Big Sur update showed up for my Catalina iMac (which is not eligible for Big Sur), so now I have a permanent update badge on the App store. 😯

They must have fixed it today. No longer shows up for me on the App Store dock icon badge or the App Store Updates tab.
