I put this thread here because I didn't know where else to ask. The Apple App store is telling me I have an update available for The Unarchiver app. I downloaded and installed the update, but the alert keeps appearing every day. I think that somehow the app store application is seeing my CCC backup archives on an external drive. Those backups are, of course, the older version of The Unarchiver, but that's what is supposed to be there. I use the archiving function of CCC to keep those changed files so that if I have to go back to them, I can. I also run TM with its own history, but TM isn't bootable and my CCC drive is, so there are two different functions going on there. As an aside, I used to be the data center manager of a national security facility, where "redundancy" meant not only belts and suspenders, but rivets, staples, nails, screws, glue and hands to hold up those pants! From that experience, and a personal computer hard drive failure that lost a year of my wife's business books, I learned the criticality of redundant backups.
I don't want to disconnect the external drive as the backups are scheduled nightly. Is there any way to tell the AppStore app to ignore my external drives? I found nothing in System Preferences or the app itself.
This happened once before with one application (I think it was Evernote, but I'm not sure) and I got so frustrated with the constant notifications of the fact that there was an update that I went through all my CCC backups and deleted Evernote from every one. That stopped the notifications, but that seems a brute force way, and destroys the idea of a backup for that application.
DETAILS: MBP 17", early-2011, OSX 10.8.3. I'm the original owner and have no other user accounts other than me. I did buy The Unarchiver through the app store, it's not pirated.
