[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1627419"] I've seen that a couple of times. It may be caused if you have an external drive with a backup of your system. If that external drive is indexed by Spotlight, then the App store will see the old version in the backup and want to update. But App store updates the version on the internal drive, so the backup never gets touched (wouldn't want it to, anyway, as it is a backup), so App Store keeps suggesting updates. Three choices: 1) ignore it, 2) go into the backup and delete the old version 3) use Spotlight/Preferences/Privacy and block the backup drives from being indexed. I picked #3, but you can do whatever you want. [/QUOTE]
