Manual updates?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.

There are no manual updates for Mac App Store (MAS) Apple or 3rd party developer apps. If you are updating apps manually, then they are not the versions sold in the MAS and the MAS will not recognize them.

The exception to the rule would be OS X updates. The OS X updates available in the MAS are also available from the Apple downloads page for manual download and installation.

The MAS can see mounted partitions and drives besides the primary boot volume. Are there attached drives on which these updates have not been installed?

Then I suggest having Spotlight reindex your boot drive. Go to System Prefs/Spotlight/Privacy and add the boot drive to the locations for Spotlight to ignore. Then a few moments later remove the boot drive from being ignored and Spotlight will reindex the drive.

De nada.

Thank You for extending the courtesy of awarding points to comments that are helpful or provide answers in the Apple Support Communities, as this is not mandatory, but it is much appreciated!
