I recently updated to OS X 10.11, El Capitan. After the update one iPhoto (Version 9.6.1, Released Mar 20, 2015) update from the App Store is not getting installed. It shows:

Update unavailable with this appleID

This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

If this particular update is not available, How to remove the 1 Update available message from AppStore and the red badge from AppStore dock icon.

2 Methods…

  1. Sign out of the App Store then back in using the correct credentials for the iPhotos download, or
  2. Delete iPhoto & use Photos instead, which is iPhoto's replacement.

Does iPhoto show up under Purchased tab of your App Store? If yes, you can try deleting the app from /Applications and try installing (downloading) it again from Purchased tab.

In case you have never started it before, start, and then close the application. This worked for me to update GarageBand on a new computer: An update was recommended by the App Store application, but I couldn't install it (I got the above message). Then I started GarageBand, closed it, and then I could update.
