DO NOT user the 2006-01-10 Updater on Windows XP
I tried running the 2006-01-10 Updater on my XP machine and it wreaked havoc with my system AND my iPod.
First running just "Update", and NOT "Restore", yes I made absolutely sure, wiped all of my data off of my 20GB iPod. Then when I tried to restore my data, iTunes (6.0.2.23) wouldn't start, after looking at the crash log I found that Quicktime had gotten corrupted.
I ended up having to uninstall iTunes, reboot, reinstall iTunes and use the 2005-09-06 Updater to get everything working again.
To the Apple guys:
You guys are doing a great job, but even the best of us goof once in awhile. This updater has some pretty serious problems.
Dell Dimension Windows XP
I think you might have something here.
I downloaded the 2006-01-10 updater over the weekend and installed it, at the same time I was also changing my PCs power supply to a more powerful one.
After I'd swapped it over I tried plugging in my LaCie D2 Extreme 250GB external hard disk (using FireWire) but nothing happened.
Well, the light came on but Windows didn't connect to it.
So I tried it over USB 2.0 and it worked!
Then I tried my iPod Mini, exactly the same problem, power is going to the devices (my iPod gets charged) but no communication occurs.
At first I thought it might have been something to do with the fact I'd switched my PSU, now I'm not so sure. See my troubleshooting thread here:
http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=35034
Odd thing is, my work PC doesn't have the 2006-01-10 updater on it and neither devices work over FireWire on that now (did before the weekend).
But also interesting is the fact that neither work (over FireWire) on the G4 we have in the office (latest version of OS X, and updates are told to happen automatically, so I guess the 2006-01-10 updater is on that too).
I did a diagnostic test on my iPod and it confirms something wrong with the FireWire, here are the results:
Connection
Rate=s100 ERROR
FW Chip OK
Firewire OK
So, the chip isn't fried (which was my worry) but something low-level has been messed with, as a result of this 2006-01-10 updater by the looks of it.
Gonna try un-installing iTunes, putting the old updater on (if I can find it) and formatting both my iPod and the LaCie drive (got the data off using USB 2.0)
Quesiton is, do these devices store some FireWire settings that causes them to stop working on machines that don't have the possibly offending 2006-01-10 updater on?
Cheers
Matt

That is only present if you have already updated to iOS 5 or later. If you're on iOS 4 you can only update while connected to your computer's iTunes.

You can't access iCloud from your iPhone unless you're on iOS 5 or later. Otherwise, refer to this article:

10.5.7 This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
First, 10.5.7 is not showing up in software update. I downloaded both the delta and combo 10.5.7 updates and they both give me "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." I've done all the requisite stuff, permissions, volume check, reset PRAM, etc. I've downloaded the updates several times, and they worked on my 2008 iMac and 2007 Macbook Pro, so I know they work. I've searched and searched and can't find a resolution. It's as if there is some signature written to my boot volume that is preventing this update. Applecare was of no help either. Any ideas?
Hi! Im new to this forum and i really dont know if this is the right place for me to say this but i really need some help! I have a MAc OS x 10.5.7 and had bootcamp installed on it so i could run both windows and mac! Over the last few days ive recieved a trojan virus on my windows... so i deleted my partition on mac so i basically just had Mac... now i am trying to reinstall my partition but disk utility is saying that i have an invalid volume free block count as it should be 41189365 instead of 41182017....argh! ive read the help stuff on it and it suggests me removing everything off my mac... but will i need 2 still have the mac install disc 1 to hand? as i have currently misplaced this and im ripping my hair out! Ive never had problems with my Imac until now and im really worried! I could really do with the help! Thanks Sam

I have recently fully updated my mac to 10.8.2 and i am trying to install a small facebook application but every time i come to chose the disk it says ' OS X facebook developer preview can not be installed on this disk. This volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas on how to get round this?
thanksThat may be the new Mountain Lion "sandbox" protective software kicking in, possibly, because ML "thinks" that App doesn't meet ML's new strict security requirements. A common phenomena. If you feel the 3rd party App is really OK, you can override this feature and install the new App by holding down the Command key when you click to install the new App. That's one possibility for the error message appearing. If not, another possibility is that that Developer Preview software package requires some previous piece of software be installed prior to downloading this Preview. You would have to check the Facebbok websiste's Developer Forums for help if this is the case.
Hope this helps -
Hello everyone,
I just purchased MBP 2.6 Ghz running Lion 10.7.3 and I am trying to install the Combo Update 10.7.4.
After I launch the installer at the Destination Select step I get this message:
Mac OS X Update Combined can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirement for this update.
The sharing and permission on Macintosh HD are "Read & Write" for system, wheel and everyone.
Please Help
ThanksWelcome to Apple Communities
If it's a new MacBook Pro (2012), you have to update in > Software Update. They need a special version -
I have the mac with following specs I need to update the OS X 10.9.4. I tried OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update to install manually but it says "OS X update can't be installed on this disk This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." Please help me.
Click here and run the combo updater. The one you previously downloaded requires 10.9.3.

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -

I am getting this message: You cannot install Security Update 2011-002 on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update?
is there a way to install this update?Hello
More information would be useful, for example which Mac OS are you running.
On the left menu item About this Mac provides useful information.
Also did you use Software Update to determine the update?
Using Software Update can ensure you download and install the correct package for your particular Mac and OS version. -
HI
I had installed mountain lion on my MBP 13" early 2012, but it has lots of issue, when i tryed to up date to 10.8.1 it shows the error "OS X update cannot be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"
if i run the software update nothis is showing, current os version is 10.8This did not work for me.
Note, that at one point the Apple developer knew exactly what the problem was and decided not to let us know. If we were tole what the problem was we woud have an idea of how to proceed. -
Hard drive "does not meet the requirements" for system updates
Hi,
I'm running 10.2 and I'm trying to update my computer to the more recent version, except that I've gone through the update downloads on this site and anything higher than 10.3 tell me I need to run 10.3 to run it. When I tried to upgrade to 10.3, I was told that I "cannot install this software on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update". What does that mean and how do I rectify the problem? Thank you very much in advance.
- JenHi Kappy! I have a similar problem: I had a problem in the past and had to re-install the system. I now have a previous sytem folder on my mac which I do not dare touch. I used to have a later version than 10.3.3 (I cannot remember which). I am now trying to update with the 10.3.9 combo update (just bought a new ipod) and I get the famous "does not meet the requirements" message. I have repaired permissions and done Onyx maintenance - still nothing. I wonder whether somehow the installer detects that there is already some newer component installed and does not want to re-install. I am awfully frustrated... Thanks in advance for your help.

i just bought an iPad from a friend. I think is generation 1 or 2 not sure where to look for this. Bottom line, I would like to update it to iOS7. Is this possible? It does not have the option for software update.
Identify Your iPad

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
Cheers, Tom
