Hello,
I've upgraded to El Capitan and the App Store tells me iPhoto 9.6.1 needs an update. But if I try to update it, I get the error "This item is temporarily unvailable. Try again later". I think that's because iPhoto has been replaced by Photos.
How can I remove iPhoto from the update list and stop the App Store icon permanently having a "1" red badge?
Thanks.
Ashley
I have the same problem. 27" iMac mid11 OSX, 10.11 Thanks Henrik
Two possibilities:
1. Update iPhoto (See below)
or
2. Delete iPhoto
Either will stop you getting update notices.
To update:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
****
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
