App store updates will not download

I have an Imac 2015 mid 2015 and a Macbookpro Mid 2015 and both machines are on Mojave 10.14.6

I have 4 app updates that do download on my iMac yet will not download on my macbook pro?

Have tried deleting the apps on the mackbook pro, yet the app store shows I still have an update and ... the apps wont update ?

The apps are just building up - see included screen shot showing different update dates.

I get a spinning 'horseshoe' when trying to update. After a while it stops and I just have the still horseshoe symbol.

I followed all the tips on the link-page below and nothing ? H E L P

Thanks Greg

I just made a post asking a similar question (link below) and am also using Mojave 10.14.6.

There was a Security Update (2021-002) about a week ago, and I was wondering whether that had anything to do with it. Did you update to SU 2021-002 on your MBP but not your iMac? If so that might explain why it happened. Just a thought.

I did get that update. I solved my issue by upgrading to Big Sur. All downloads allowed now.
