Problem with the Update bug in AppStore with 10.6.7

I too have this issue. Twitter app is the problem. Updating always "repeats" itself. Once I update the app, Mac App Store is all ok, reporting that the Twitter app is updated. But once I quit and restart Mac App Store, it seems to forget that the Twitter app is already updated and reports that an update is available... again. It also seems to happen to the Twitter app (2.0.2), other applications fine.

The 10.6.7 update also didn't resolve my issue.

I went to the Applications folder and when I did a spotlight search in there for Xcode it showed me an Install Xcode icon - opened this - and then clicked install. Now updating as it should have done.

Strange that MacBook didn't need this step to be completed before accepting update. Also I'd opened and run Xcode on iMac already, so it was installed.

Anyway, nice easy fix, no clearing caches or deleting plist files

Now I have an update for an app I didn't download and is asking me to log in to someone else's user account name to update. The app isn't installed on my computer. What the hells going on here?

Same problem here with Twitter for Mac.

The problem started with the 10.6.7 update. Before, I didn't have a problem with the Mac App Store and the updates it did to my apps.

It's really annoying to constantly have to update the Twitter for Mac app every time I open the Mac App Store. I checked out the other threads, and I have a MacBook Pro 17, so I don't have different volumes, only a single one, so disabling Spotlight and unmounting drives isn't going to work for me.

The problem has been going on for a few weeks and it's annoying. I wish they'd fix this. I've tried uninstalling the app, reinstalling it, deleting it, uninstalling it with Cleanmymac, etc, and it didn't work.

Thanks

In my case, I don't actually have to do the updates that the app store is nagging me about -- I've checked the applications themselves, and they are all at the most current version. At this point I'm kinda just ignoring those updates.

same problem with twitter app since 10.6.7

That makes the MAS even more unpopular and for a Mac Software developer like me is that not good news.

All righty then...

I repaired permissions, rebuilt the Spotlight database, and all of the other stuff that the application OnyX offers for maintenance, and now App Store is behaving. So, I'm not sure which of these items worked, but there ya go.

Grrrr, now App Store wants to update those same two apps (*Pangea Arcade* and *Gold Strike*). It played nicely for a while. Grrr.

To repeat this here:


Same problem here.
OS X 10.6.7
Annoying App: Twitter 2.0.2
Twitter App was deleted, purged, re-installed. But allways get the Update notification for Twitter 2.0.2 ;-(

Ok, I have success here with rebuilding the spotlight database. http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/RebuildingSpotlightsDatabase/
All update notifications have gone. This is a fix........... for now.

Nope, that didn't last long, notifications returned. I found in user/Library/Application Support/AppStore some files that didn't look right so I deleted all the files in the AppStore folder. Now AppStore is working without false notifications. Fingers crossed, it lasts.......
