Q: Mac App Store updates repeating

I purchased Chopper 2 (Fantastic little .99 game. You can control game play on your Mac with the iPhone)...

Anyway, an update showed up in the MacApp Store. I downloaded the update on all 3 of my Macs... Now on 2 of my Macs the update keeps showing up in the MacApp Store even though the app is up to date.

On my 13" MBP this is not the case.... It is working as it should... weird huh ??

Anybody else?

27" iMac Quad i7, 13" MBP, 24" iMac, and 27 others..., Mac OS X (10.6.5)

    Did it when updating an app over the weekend but stopped. I was updating HTML Egg and it kept repeating and it just stopped and I did'nt do any of the above suggestions. Not sure if it's Mavericks or Apple servers now.

    Yup.. Same here.

     

    On Mavericks 10.9.1 and MAS is telling me there is an update available which is 10.9.1, so it's aking me to update to the version I already have.

     

    It was doing this with the latest iTunes update and the Camera Raw update too.

     

    My workaround was to download the updates from the Apple Downloads page and run the DMGs Manually.

     

    http://support.apple.com/downloads/

     

    This worked for the three above but now its telling me I need to update all three iWork apps even though I updated yesterday and I don't have duplicates of all of these apps.

     

    It looks like MAS is updating the software but it either doesn't register the update or doesn't communicate back to the server that the update is complete.

    Guys I had this issue as well with Mountain Lion.

     

    Even after updating all my apps the App store still indicated i need updates.

    Whats happening is that the App store uses spotlight to see wha tversions of apps you are running, this is great but if spotlight see's your system backup drive (I have two, one internal and one external) The app store will wish to update these as well hence the duplication.

    There is a means of telling Spotlight to ignore your backup drives, once set your clear.

     

    In system pref - Spotlight - privacy

    add or select your back up drives.
