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.

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.

Lion comes with FaceTime. Look in your dock or in the Applications folder.

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.

FaceTime can't be installed on "Sosa" because the version of Mac OS X is too new.

And what is your OS X version then ?
The Facetime dwnload form the Mac App Store is for OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard only.
In OSX 10.7 Lion Facetime is already included.

Not sure why you marked it as solved. A mistake I guess.

FaceTime cannot be installed because the version of Mac OS X is too new.

The Mac App Store program is telling me I can install FaceTime. I already have it installed, but the version in the App Store is dated last April, whereas my installed version is dated 2013, so it seems like the app store version should be an update.
However, when I try to install it, I get a message saying "FaceTime cannot be installed because the version of OS X is too new".
Is this just the Mac App Store program being stupid?
My installed version says version 3.0, but the app store version is 1.05. This is a huge difference that needs explanation. Especially since it does not tell me that I have a newer version of the program already installed.

The App Store version of FaceTime is only for OS X 10.6. All later versions of OS X have it built in.

I have a older Airport Express unit that requires Airport Utility 5.6. When I try to install 5.8 on my OS X10.8 iMac, I get the message "Airport Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume in not Supported"

Why should I have to spend money to solve this problem? Many others have the same concern, Airport Utility 6 does not support older Airport Express units. This is Apple's problem. I've tried many solutions proposed on the net but none worked. I'm still trying for a work around.

This meassage I've got after trying to install the software:AirPort Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported.
Please, advise.

What version of AirPort Utility are you attempting to install, and which AirPort Base Station model do you have? Look on its case for a four digit model number preceded by the letter A.

Can you clarify what exactly you are trying to do that generates this message?
IF....you might be trying to install AirPort Utility on your Mac....you already have the most recent version on your Mac.....and you cannot install an earlier version than you already have.
Check Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

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

I'd like to resolve the conflict and install the update.

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.)

Hi, I need to install Adobe Flash Player because the version I have installed in my Mac Os is old, but I can´t because I need to write my email and my password and I don´t remember my password, so what can I do?

The email and password will be the ones for your computer's security, not something for any Adobe product. You might need to consult Mac customer support if you are unable to determine the required information.

You are trying to install a version of Airport Utility earlier than 6.0, correct? If so see the following: Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.
