Why am I getting an update notification for iPhoto 9.6.1 that then won't actually update?
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Are you being asked to update to 9.6.1 or update your current 9.6.1 version?
What version of iPhoto do you have installed in your Applications folder?
I have 9.6
but it no longer works because I have Photos. The notification is for 9.6.1. This seems like some kind of error. Is there a way to just dismiss or ignore this update?

Move your iPhoto 9.6 app to the Trash bin in the Dock (don't empty) and go to the App Store. Look for iPhoto 9.6.1 in the Purchases section.
iPhoto 9.6 is already in the purchases section. I followed your instructions anyway however when I click on update in the purchases section I get
an error. Am I going to have to contact Apple Support?
Apple has been having problems with their App Store servers. Keep trying for a bit before contacting Apple Support.
Good advice. Update went away??
It appears that the iPhoto updates have been returned to the Purchases section of the App Store today. You might want to give it another try.
Thanks but all I needed was a way to dismiss the Update notification. I don't need iPhoto.
Go to the Purchased section, Control (right) - click on iPhoto and select Hide purchase. I believe that should kill the notifications for it.
Unfortunately no, it doesn't.
Trash iPhoto, it doesn't work so no loss there. Quit and re-open the App Store. The iPhoto update goes away.
This worked for me it'd been bugging me for weeks.

YES finally. thank you!!! 🙂
