Mac App Store How Hide Some Updates Notification

[Jay-Jacob]

I am using Catalina and my Mac too old upgrade to Big Sur (first time ever cannot upgrade to new OS). I am not planning buy new Mac until 2022 or 2023. Mac App Store show GarageBand update and it need Big Sur so it can't be updated (that fine) but problem is red number 1 will stay on Mac App Store icon. I don't really want that stay there until 2022/2023. Is there any way hide that update without hiding any other app updates appear in future?

Thanks

I had a badge to update Garageband, simply trashed and redownloaded it. No more update reminder.

I tried that with Apple Remote Desktop, but the update message came back.

I just had another update trigger it. It's back...

It seems it permanent until buy new Mac with Big Sur.

Yep I have the same problem. I have MacBook Pro that won't run Big Sur. At first I got offered the incompatible GarageBand update, then I got offered the Remote Desktop update. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not work. The updates will reappear again in the AppStore in a day or so.

This is intolerable. Apple know what machines we have and should know not to offer us updates that are not compatible. It's not like we're choosing not to instal, its that we're not able to so what the point in offering us the updates? I can only hope this is an oversight and this will be fixed on the back end on their SW update servers.

Anyone have an idea of how to hide these updates?

 

[Jay-Jacob]

I hope there will be fix or update future to stop offering app that we can't run/install.

I send bug report apple about that. I have no idea if that normal appear on old Mac since I never have Mac that too old update new OS before.

What MacOS release did you update from and to, @Jay-Jacob ?
I'm running MacOS Catalina (10.15.7) on a Mac Mini (late 2012) that cannot be upgraded to Big Sur, and I receive the (infuriating) reminder to update Garage Band to a release that is only supposed on MacOS v11.0 (Big Sur) and later.

I am on macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Maybe try refresh Mac App Store app? As soon I update that version and problem was fixed for me.

I still have this issue running 10.15.7. Anyone get this resolved?

Delete the app from your Applications folder and then re-download it from your purchase history, and the update notification should clear. Worked for me with both Garageback and ARD on 10.15.7.

For what it's worth, I moved the Garage Band application to the trash, and then noted that the App Store said there were "no updates" available. Then I moved Garage Band out of the trash and back into the Applications folder, and the annoying update reminder went away.

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit. That did the trick!

Thanks for posting your solution.
