Every time I open the Mac App Store since upgrading to Mavericks, I am asked to "Accept" iMovie and iPhoto, even though I've had them since I bought my first Mac two years ago, and even though I click "Accept" every time I see it. Any idea how to make it stop?
Got a tip for us?

Very odd. I ended up downloading & installing the iMovie 10.0 update twice and thought that was weird, but your situation is quite bizarre. Hmm...
Same problem
My son is having the exact same problem on his macbook. Exactly the same as your screenshot.
Would welcome any suggestions.

I had that problem right after buyin the rMBP, which comes bundled with iLife.
After a few days the annoying messages stopped and everything returned to normal.

Did you have to stop hitting the accept button for a few days for it to go away?
I mean, every time i open the MAS, i usually try to "Accept"
....maybe i should just leave it alone?
I have the same issues since doing a clean install. But mine has yet to go away. Actually, my account is currently in troubleshooting mode with Apple to try and fix?
Haha well, it came back one day last week. Now, it's gone again....
I'm at a loss. I believe I finally did just leave it alone.
Ancient thread, I know, but my wife's iMac has had this annoyance for years. iMovie only since iPhoto is no longer a thing.
Has anyone ever found the solution? No one I've talked to at Apple seems to have heard of it (does anyone there know how to Google?).
I'm on her machine right now. Have logged in and Accepted again — as I do 2–3x per year.
iMovie fires up and is at v. 10.1.11 — Wiki says the latest version is 10.1.10 so I know it's been updating and there's no real problem.
Still, it's things like this that annoy me.
[doublepost=1556994570][/doublepost]Hmmm... I may have found the solution. I deleted iMovie and tried to Install from the Purchased list in the App Store — no go because it won't Accept. Ok, I expected that.
So, I went back 10 minutes in Time Machine and restored iMovie — took about a minute (love APFS Snapshots!). Closed the App Store and reopened. The Accept box is gone. ??? Ok, that's good...
So, pushing my luck, I trashed iMovie again, closed and reopened the App Store again. The Accept button is gone and when I clicked on Install, it downloaded and installed like it was supposed to.
I'm declaring victory. Hope this helps someone else.
