I have an update notification for iPhoto in the updates list for the App Store. Is there a way to delete it since the iPhoto material is no longer available from Apple. I keep getting a message that the update is "unavailable." I'm running El Capitan on a Macbook Pro.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
To delete the update notification either update iPhoto to version 9.6.1 or delete the incompatible version from your Applications folder. You will see the update alert as long as Spotlight is seeing an incompatible version of iPhoto installed.
As to the iPhoto update: You can only update iPhoto to version 9.6.1, if iPhoto is showing in your Purchases history at the App Store. Check the fourth tab "Purchases".
See Barney's user tip:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS X 10.10.3
The procedure outlined there is working again in many cases.
It was a temporary glitch at the AppStore that made updating impossible, or Apple reconsidered:

Many thanks. It worked beautifully, and the problem is solved!
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you. It's so simple. It didn't even occur to me that I still had this app installed on my computer because it had been so long in between times that I could pay attention to this.
I should say that I used this for a Batch Uploader app, not iPhoto.
Is there a way to delete an update notification for iPhoto from my updates section in the App Store?
