Q: Double notifications for up-date

Hi again,

 

Recently I've been getting the usual up-dates for Apple apps like iMovie, Keynote, Pages, Numbers and a Digital Camera Raw Compatibility thing. They up-date successfully and as normal, but then a day later I get another up-date notification - for the same apps, same version number etc. Unless I re-download them, the little notification number remains on my App Store icon.

 

Unlike everyone else in the western world (apparently), I don't have unlimited download and my download speed is VERY slow. The iMovie up-date was over 2GB - TWICE!, and took hours and hours.

 

Why am I being told to up-date stuff twice? Is anyone else having this problem?

    Check the actual version numbers on the apps to see that they truly are being updated. If they are not restart your while holding the shift key, then try the updates again. This is starting your Mac in Safe Mode, it is a much longer startup time as OS X does a self-diagnostic and repair.

    Hmm. Interesting. Thanks for your suggestions, Dah•veed.

     

    The version numbers are the same on the ones I've successfully downloaded and the ones the App Store says I need to up-date.

     

    When I start in Safe mode, App Store says there are no new up-dates. When I restart in ordinary mode, App Store says I have two up-dates - both of which I have just downloaded.

     

    What does this mean???? I'm getting stressed in a paranoid way!
