May 28, 2013 2:35 PM in response to reblossby Barney-15E,Try right-clicking on it and select Hide.
However, I'd let it run once to make sure there isn't something wrong with my current installation.

May 29, 2013 10:30 AM in response to Barney-15Eby rebloss,It won't let me right-click. The status in the Store is 'downloaded' and is greyed out.
But, it's trying to run the root installer like I'm doing an ML install from scratch. I really don't think I want that since I'm already at 10.8.3.

May 29, 2013 11:03 AM in response to reblossby keg55,Do you have any external drives or internal partitions that have ML inlstalled which have NOT been updated and causing the App Store to say THOSE need to be updated?

May 29, 2013 11:42 AM in response to keg55by rebloss,No, just the Internal iMac drive. I have a USB drive for Time Machine backups and an Firewire 800 drive for general storage, neither one has an OS on it.

May 29, 2013 5:59 PM in response to reblossby andyBall_uk,That can happen if you have a copy of an ML installer for earlier version - 'Install OS X Mountain Lion' , also if
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
is giving info to software update/app store which makes it seem that an update is needed.
If you've no copy of the Installer, see what that plist contains... Textedit can open them, usually; or Quicklook will show you what's inside.
Here, for 10.8.3, it contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

May 30, 2013 11:46 AM in response to reblossby Imp68,Post a picture of the prompt you're talking about. Also interested in seeing a pic of the About this mac window, from under the apple menu.
It sounds like it's just downloaded the update and wants you to restart to apply it. If you click the Apple >> Restart, does the window that comes up asks if you want to restart and install updates or restart without installing them?
If so, just restart and install them...
