How Do I Install an OSx Update on a Remote Drive?

Hi,
I run my OSx on a Remote Pegasus RAID and use this as my startup disk.
I have found that since Yosemite came along that even routine updates will crash the OS and then require a complete OS download.
I think that this can be solved if I boot from my internal iMac drive and do the update install from that drive with my External drive as the target.
So the question is:
How do I download an Update and then launch it and Pick which drive it installs on?
Rather than click the button from the Apps Store and have it do everything autically?
Thanks for any help!

Your link worked great. My OS is now at 10.10.3. However the Apps Store still thinks that I need to update? How do I tell the Apps store that I'm at this rev but installed remotely?
Thanks!

  • Can't open AppStore and Email app after installing the OSX Update 10.8.3

    Hi there, after I installed the OSX 10.8.3 update I can't open my Email and App Store apps. This is the popup message that appears when i try to open those apps. I tried to reinstall the app but I can't open my App Store. I also downloaded and installed the OSX Update 10.8.3 and the 10.8.2 again from the download support page, but I couldn't solve my problem. Does anyone knows how can i fix it?

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Can not install Mac OSX Update Combo10.4.5 PPC

    I have a clean installation of Tiger on a Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) with Sonnet 1 ghz processor upgrade, updated to 10.4.3 by running Software Update. No other updates available at this time.
    So I downloaded MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.5PPC.dmg and it stops at "Select a Destination."
    "You cannot install Mac OSX Update Combined (Power PC) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    I must have installed this update previously, to get to 10.4.6, to install Adobe CS3 which REQUIRES 10.4.6.
    Now I can't figure out how I got this update installed - sorry if this has been posted previously.
    This isn't my main machine, thankfully, but I use it as a spare in the studio to transfer images to.
    Can anyone help me get this OS updated to 10.4.6?
    I don't have the original processor, so re-installing it isn't an option.
    Thanks.

    No, I wouldn't ignore them, I think we really have more messed up than just this, and if any of these steps fix it, we'll likely need new downloads.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

  • How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

    How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
    Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
    I am using Bootcamp.

    Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

  • How do I install the firmware update for LinkSys E900 router?

    Hi,
    I'm using Mac 10.7.5 and a few months back had purchased the E900 wireless router.  It has firmware 1.0.03 installed and I noticed there is a 1.0.04 update.  I downloaded the update, which is a .bin file, but I do not have a CD burner nor access to a Windows machine.  How can I install the firmware update?
    Thanks, - Dave
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Simple, with your wired computer (never wireless) just access the GUI in the router and perform the firmware update.  Just point to the .bin file and away you go.  Make sure to hard reset the router and reconfigure it after you are done.

    Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
    I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

    totally agree.  at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it.  i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine.  i paid for it.  and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working.

    How can i cancel my osx update?

    There is no safe way. If it's been underway a while don't. If it's been underway no more than 5 minutes, then you can force quit the installer by pressing COMMAND-OPTION-ESC, select the installer application, then click on the Force Quit button.

  • How do i install Mac OSX Leopard on other drive

    how do i install Mac OSX Leopard on a drive other than my Snow Leopard computer? I need to access old files that will not open with new OS.

    Simple. When you get the prompt to install Snow Leopard on your existing computer you will see a button that says "change destination disk..." or words to that effect.
    You can select any mounted volume. If that volume already has a later version of OS X installed, you will need to erase it first using Disk Utility.

  • How do I  install Photoshop Elements 10 to a secondary drive?

    How do I  install Photoshop Elements 10 to a secondary drive? I have a solid state drive as the primary drive and a secondary drive that has much more storage where I would like to install PSE, but there is no option to pick the drive when you install.

    Which operating system are you using?  There is typically an option to select the installation location.  Keep in mind though that there are many support files which will permanently need to be installed on your Operating System drive.  In addition temporary files will also need to be installed during the install process. 
    If your SSD is so low on space you may want to consider getting a larger drive which can accomodate the operating system and applications installed on the same drive.  You are also loosing many of the performance gains of the SSD by having your applications still installed on a standard hard drive.

  • How do I install windows xp on a 2TB external drive osx 10.6.8?

    How do I -OR- CAN I
    Install Windows XP on a 2TB external drive OSX 10.6.8? 
    I WILL get another 2TB to back up to 1st!
    Should I start over with the New 2TB Drive and put the XP & OSX partitions on it 1st?
    BTW... Anyone have an idea where I should send a WindowsXP drive that has the click of death syndrome to get the data off it?
    Thanx Y'All
    OKMatthew

    Microsoft doesn't allow users to install Windows on an external drive, so you can't do it. Instead, install Windows in the internal hard drive through Boot Camp.
    Respecting to your second problem, there are companies that recovers data from your hard drive, so you may want to contact with them
