HT1338 OS X Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
I am trying to update Mountain Lion to 10.8.2, but I get the error message:
OS X Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
When trying to install on my hard drive?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have the Late 2012 Mac mini, it requires a special OS X update that it's not available. Wait until Apple releases this update

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

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.

Hi Allan,
I thought I did explain it, but sorry if that wasn't clear.
I get the little pop-up alert that tells me I have a new messages (Shows the sender and an abreviated version of the message) but those actual messages sometimes don't appear in my inbox until up to an hour later.

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. -
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!

Ive never had problems with my Imac until now and im really worried! I could really do with the help! Thanks Sam

Just opened box and started using Mac Mini (OS X 10.8.1), Late 2012, Core i5. When trying to update iLife product, was given message that update to 10.8.2 was required. Tried to update, but was given message that Volume does not meet the requirements.
Your computer requires a special Mountain Lion version that it's not available right now, so you have to wait until Apple launches it again

Mac book early 2009 core duo trying to update to maverick 10.9.2 then onwards but can't get past this message
You need to use a combo updater such as this one, or get the 10.9.4 update through the Mac App Store’s Updates tab.

I am trying to install Safari 5.05 for Leopard, but during the installation process, the error message above appears when selecting the volume to install it on.
Apparently the minimum OS requirement for Safari 5 on Mac is 10.5.8, which my Mac has. My Mac's processor is a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (the default for one of the Intel Macs that came out a few years ago), which should be good enough for Safari 5. I am attempting to install via an admin account. There is nothing in Apple Software Update relating to Safari (the current working version of Safari that my Mac has is 4.05).
Any help please?So, on that page I should click on the Download button to the right? It just takes me to http://www.apple.com/safari/download/, where the "Safari 5.0.5 for Leopard" is what I initially tried, and is what resulted in the aforementioned error message during the installation process. See below for screenshots of the installer error message and my Mac's details, respectively:
I also tried the Snow Leopard and Tiger versions of Safari just in case those worked, but obviously I didn't have the correct Mac version, so I couldn't even begin the installation process. -
This volume does not meet the requirements for this update
I installed Mac OS 10.4.3 from the Tiger install DVD and have been trying to get it to install any updater from 10.4.4 to 10.4.10 with no access to that drive.
I have a bootable 10.4.6 on the internal drive of a Quicksilver 2002 G4 and am trying to install a second copy onto another drive. Originally the IDE drive was in an external SATA enclosure and then moved to a Firewire enclosure.
No matter what I try, when I start up the Update Installer, I cannot choose that volume that just had Mac OS 10.4.3 installed onto it from the Tiger Install DVD.
Anyone have ideas?
G4 Quicksilver 2002 2x1Ghz with 1.5 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.3) 120 GB IDE and 2x 250 SATA drives internally
G5 Quad 2.5 Ghz with 2.0 TB RAID Mac OS X (10.4.8)Yes, the Firewire enclosure has the Oxford 911 chipset, The drive started out in an External SATA enclosure which boots up nicely as well.
It's just a mystery why I can't update 10.4.3 to any thing higher on this drive?
I have an identical FW enclosure on my G5 Tower and I used Carbon Copy cloner to move the boot image to the external. It works great!
Looking around the internet, I have stumbled upon discussions of intermittent probems with Firewire drives not updating rather getting the Red Exclaimation mark over it in the installer drive pick window???

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 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 -
Securtity Update 2008-006 failed, now volume does not meet the requirements

RE:Király
Log in to an admin account and then try going to /Library/Receipts/boms and moving this file to the Desktop:
com.apple.pkg.update.security.2008.006.bom
Then try running Software Update again.
