Mar 31, 2020 Apple also releases system updates that keep your Mac secure and stable. When a new major version of OS X is released, you can download the upgrade for free from the App Store. If you're using an older version of OS X, updates are handled through the Software Update utility. Indeed, they may have an advantage over Windows OS users regarding this matter, but analysis reveals that the number of ransomware designed specifically for the former operating system is gradually increasing. Here we provide a couple of options how you can update your all your Mac apps simultaneously. Review apps with a single command.

MAS will even notify you of updates for applications that you have deleted IF you do not also delete the receipt. The receipts are in an invisible folder: /private/var/db/receipts
When deleting receipts be careful that it is definitely for the app you've deleted.

Ah, now I understand why this happens. I have an internal backup drive, so of course the OS see two copies of every application.
Zombie updates in the App Store will be a good reminder that I need to back up again. ;)

This doesn't seem to address all possible situations in which you've got a zombie app in the MAS.. I've had one showing up in there as needing an update for over a month (started under 10.7.4, continues under 10.8). Zero other copies on any connected drives, and receipts removed; still showing up.
Now, I *do* have a Time Capsule backup where another copy of the app is probably located, but it's only mounted while it's backing up. Also, there will be all *sorts* of old MAS apps in there that I have since deleted from my main drive, but none of those are showing up in the store — something's wrong with this one app.

BTW, I have had the Windows Phone 7 Connector showing up as updatable in the MAS for months, now, on all of my Macs; and updating or reinstalling it changes nothing: it still shows up with an 'Update' instead of 'Installed' description, on the right side of the 'Purchased' part of the MAS window (it isn't explicitly offered as an update, however, also because there's currently no update available for this application).
Very strange, indeed..

I also had this problem of zombie apps in the mac app store, because it was also seeing the app on my back drives.
I just fixed this by going into Sys Prefs > Spotlight > Privacy and adding my backup drive to this list. Literally as soon as the drive appeared in this list the updates list in MAS showed 'No Updates Available'.

If the apps are on an old volume or another disk, you can temporarily eject that other disk. See all open apps mac. Re-open MAS and all the items will be installable again. Knox mac app store.
