Q: I have an update notification but can't update
i have a MacBook from 2015 & im currently using Sierra as my operating system. since I got this computer a little over a year ago I never used i photo primarily because I hadn't synced my iPhone because I would lose everything on it that I had loaded from cds I burned & my last macbook crashed and the genius that I am never backed it up so I didn't want to lose all my music especially because in Apple's infinite wisdom removed the disc drive so I can't even reburn the disc. Well when I got a new phone & using old basically as a iPod but now that I'm sync'd to the computer I see that iphoto isn't even used. Just regular photo. Well I still for some reason have it on my laptop. I can't open it & when I try do update it won't let me. I enter my Apple ID & it says incorrect Apple ID. I've only ever had 1 apple Id maybe 2 if you count the fact I changed my email address. So I'm not sure why the app has an update or why my Apple ID is the incorrect one to authori the update. I am just starting to get really annoyed at the constant update notifications telling me I need to update and then not letting me and the fact there is constantly the red badge icon showing that I have an update available any thoughts on how I can fix this?
MacBook, macOS Sierra (10.12)
