I love how my iPhone always tells me when apps have updates, but is that possible on iMac as well for FREE?
Both iTunes and the Mac App Store have badges like on the iPhone to show you when updates are available. Am I missing the question?
You'll be notified of available updates for apps installed from the Mac App Store. Non MAS 3rd party apps usually have their own process for checking for updates when you launch them. It doesn't work the same way the iPhone does, because Mac apps can be installed from sources that Apple doesn't control.Are you saying that when I load itunes or app store that it should check all my apps etc, for example checks flash player etc and tells me there is a new update avaible?

You don't need another app to check for updates. Each app checks for itself, and the MAS checks for updates for apps installed through the MAS. Based on several of your threads, it appears you're trying to install as many apps as possible. You don't always need another app. Mac OS X does a lot of things well, without you having to install apps for everything. I recommend you take some time to get familiar with how OS X works, and only look for an app if you have a specific need that isn't met by OS X.Ok thank you. So much to learn, but I am enjoying learning iMac from scarch.
Are there any freeware apps that help check for updates? I found one but it costs money.
The most effective method for complete app removal is manual deletion:And how do I remove that worthless piece of junk AJ Application Update ?

If you followed all the steps properly and it doesn't appear, it's probably not installed, or the app has a different name.It doesn't appear.
There is no app to monitor software updates for non-Apple applications. If you want notifications, you can use the Mac App Store. Otherwise (unless the developer has built an updater into the app), you have to check manually.

I have tried it myself, but I did notice this app on MacUpdate that checks for app updates.
