FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of Mac OS X is too new. I removed all traces of FaceTime and still not able to install from App store. New to macbook pro with Lion.any help with this would be greaty appreciated.
FaceTime is included in Lion. The App Store version is for 10.6. If you deleted it, restore it from a backup, or reinstall the Mac OS.

FaceTime can't be installed on "Macintosh HD" because the version of OS X is too new
I'm trying to buy the FaceTime app from the App Store but a pop-up window gives me the message, "FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of OS X is too new." What gives? Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I forgot to mention that I accidentally deleted the app at one point. It's no longer in my applications folder. That's why I need to download FaceTime from the App Store.

My iPod touch is disabled after too many attempts and I want to enable it without getting it clear so can you please help me out in this....
A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I am having trouble dating to version 3.6.14 or updating to the Beta testing. I am running Linux/Ubutu OS and I get this error message:/tmp/p7x3vko2.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Please help. Thank you , Deb
Solved for me.
I set the owner/permissions of my profile's mozilla folder's (and all the files in it) to read/write access, and the problem disappeared.
in linux:''
* cd /home/myusername/.mozilla
* chown -cR myusername:mygroup ./

but i can't find my data which i have saved on mac.the storage is showing data used and free space on the disk
please help me out in this matter.How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account. -
Server can't be installed on "Server HD" because the version of OS X is too new
I'm attempting to install OS X Server 2.2.4 (Released 9/24/2014) on my Mac Mini Server (Late 2012). I'm receiving this message: We could not complete your update Server can’t be installed on “Server HD” because the version of OS X is too new
Current software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
4 GB 1600 MHZ DDR3
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
I'd like to resolve the conflict and install the update.domenico_85 wrote:
Hi All,
I am in the same situation.
I updated to Maverick 10.9.5, rebooted the system, in App Store updates I get OS X Server to be updated to 2.2.4, but I can't because the os x version is too new.
If I search OS X Server in App Store I can see the latest version 3.1.2 not as update, I should by the new software 13.99£, why?
Is there a workaround about this?
This question gets asked pretty regularly, and does seem to be a longstanding bit of confusion with the OS X Server product packaging.
OS X Server is not a "permanent" purchase that'll upgrade and work across all new "major" OS X versions "forever".
If there's a new "cat" or a new "bit of California" (e.g. Mavericks, Yosemite) being advertised with OS X, expect there to be a new Server.app purchase to go with that upgrade.
The organization and underpinning of OS X move around occasionally (usually with these new "major" releases), which means Server.app also gets reworked.
In other words, roll in your backups and revert to the older OS X version and the older Server.app, or purchase the newer version of Server.app. (Having started out when OS X Server was a US$1000 purchase, paying the current prices for a newer version of Server.app is rather easier to get past the purchasing department.) -
FaceTime can't be installed on "HDD Name" because the version of Mac OS X is too new.
on AppStore it says:
FaceTime can’t be installed on “HDD Name” because the version of Mac OS X is too new.After upgrading my MacBook to Lion, FaceTime (purchased from the App Store) quit working. It would just hang when I'd hit the button to "Turn on FaceTime".
So from a terminal, I deleted:
/Applications/FaceTime.app/
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FaceTime.plist
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.FaceTime/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FTMonitor.plist
/private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.FaceTime.*
Now, when I go to the App Store to install FaceTime, I get the same error as the OP. -

Aperture can't be installed on "Macintosh HD" because Mac OS X version 10.10 or later is required.
Hi
I have two MacBookPro, and Installed Yosemite to the other of them.
Since my Mac stopped working well, I do not attend to install Yosemite to the other Mac, but I keep my old Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63).
So here is the problem:
"Aperture can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because Mac OS X version 10.10 or later is required."
What is the workaround for this problem?
Thanks!

AnnI found this (see below) it looks like your @Léonie solution is the answer to the problem.

Re: How do I reinstall an older version of Aperture from the App Store?in response to léonie | This solved my question
@léonie
Thanks for your help with this. I've downloaded the latest RAW support updates supported on my machine - V4.09 that seems to contain all of the RAW formats for previous updated including V4.06, which includes the NEX 3N, my camera. After a short while (there seemed to be some sort of background processing ging on in Aperture) it started to allow my NEX 3N photos to be viewed. Some of the thumbnails were corrupted, but if I made a slight edit in each of these files, the thumbnails updated and all was well.
Prior to this, I raised a call with Apple, because the inability to reinstall software from the App Store that I've purchased from in App Store to a machine that supports OSX 10.7.5 and no later strikes me as a problem. I need to know that if my Time Machine backup fails and I need to reinstall, I've got somewhere I can go.
The support people at Apple were very helpful, and it feels like they recognise this as a problem, and are working to resolve it behind the scenes. The App Store will not allow me to download the last version that works on my machine at the moment, but it sounds like Apple is thinking about how to do this. In the meantime, they are shipping me a copy of Aperture 3.0 on CD, and sending me a registration code. This will solve my immediate problem.
This does make me wary about using the App Store for purchases in the future. I don't upgrade my hardware that frequently - I have no real need to as it just keeps working - and so not having physical copies of installation media for when the applications stop supporting my OS is a worry. On the face of it, maintaining prior versions of the software for older machines to download from the App Store seems like a reasonable solution, but they are not there yet, and there is no real commitment for them to do this. Anyone who doesn't back up their Apps in Time Machine (probably the majority of users) could loose them altogether when Apple moves on, and cuts app support for older OS versions.
Thanks to @léonie and @Frank Cagianno for your help.

Hello,
I want to buy logic pro x and i recieve this message: Logic Pro X can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because Mac OS X version 10.8.4 or later is required. what i need to do? thanks!!Given you apparently are looking for a different answer to the completely obvious one....
You can;
1) Undress.. stand on one leg, wear a very silly hat... whistle "Dixie" and pray to the Gods of Apple that they will somehow magically install LPX for you...
2) Spend your days in the studio wondering what "Mac OS X version 10.8.4 or later is required" actually means... and make up a song in your head baed on the resulting thoughts... Of course, you won't be able to actually record it but maybe thats not such a bad thing for the rest of the world..
3) You could run out to the nearest Apple Store.. spend a small fortune on a new Mac that has "Mac OS X version 10.8.4 or later" already installed and use that to install LPX on.. even though your current Mac may be perfectly capable of running LPX.. if only you actually followed the advice given by Blueberry... and did what the error meassage you orginally received, told you to do...
4) You could simply give up on music entirely.... and spend the rsst of your life.. meditating quietly in a corner.... waiting on the world to do everything for you....
Seriously though...............
There comes a point when it's really hard to take such a question seriously when the answer is there, right in front of you...plain as day...
A) Upgrade your OS X version and then install LPX
or...
B) Do not upgrade your OS X version and do not install LPX.. Do not pass Go.. Do not collect/spend $200......
Pretty simple really! -
I am a new user on a mac. I was given a mac to use for work and I need to install Ruby, Ruby on Rails. The Ruby install instructions said to install Xcode first.
The mac os x is 10.6.8. I had a problem trying to install xcode because it said the operatin system version was not compatible .. Then I found xcode version 4.2 but it then said "Xcode Install Assistant can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7 or later is required."The message kind of says it all. It needs a more current version of the OS to install. Mavericks is free if your machine meets the specs for it.

i cant installing iphoto .. it`s says iPhoto can't be installed on Macintosh HD because Mac OS X version 10.7.5 or later is required. and mine is 10.6.8 ... what can i do ?
You have two possibilities:
1. Keep Snow Leopard and your actual iPhoto.
2. Upgrade OS X.
If you want to upgrade OS X to get the most recent iPhoto, you can upgrade to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion. We are going to choose the most recent, Mountain Lion.
First, check if your Mac is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If it's supported, make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. The installer will download and it will appear when the download finishes, so you have to follow the steps to upgrade OS X. See if your programs are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If your Mac isn't compatible, see if you can run OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If you can run Lion, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
