Mac keep on updating

Hello everyone,

A software update called Pro video Formats 2.0.1 appeared on my Mac App Store today.

When I tried to update it,it keeps on coming back,and I have been doing this for a while now.

Probably the 3rd or 4th time now.Seriously what's wrong with that?User uploaded file

I don't know the fact that I have Final Cut Pro Trial is probably the cause of this problem?

I need to fix this,if you don't know the solution to this,don't bother answering,I don't want this to fade away from ignorant replies.

Thanks in advance!

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Intel Quad-Core i7 2.93GHz 8GB 2TB

go to terminal and go to /var/folders/zz/

once there list the content (ls -la) and check the ownership for folder i.e zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068


it should be: drwxr-xr-x+ 3 _softwareupdate _softwareupdate 102 20 Aug 02:17 zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068


not: drwxr-xr-x+ 4 root wheel 136 14 Oct 15:53 zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000s0000068
