I can't install Lion Recovery Update!

When I run the update and get to the destination selection screen, I get the message, "Lion Recovery Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." Any suggestions?

Here is what I got:

  • Unable to install Lion Recovery Update v1.0 on Mac OS 10.8.2

    Hi to anyone who can help,
    As the "Find My Mac" option is greyed out, I followed all the instructions on the support forums on how to get this feature, such as Verify/Repair Machintosh HD using Disk Ultilty from the Recovery partition.
    Subsequently I tried to install Lion Recovery Update v1.0 from the Apple Support link below:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1464
    However, while attempting to install, it says "This update can only be installed on OS 10.7". How do I get this fixed?
    Some background info, my MacBook Pro 15" (early 2011) had a replacement Hard Disk Drive and Logic Board.
    1. The replacement drive had 10.7.4 installed, and I used the recovery partition to restore to a Time Machine Backup (which was 10.8.2).
    2. Do I need to "download" the Mountain Lion package in the app store again? I see it as an available to download instead of saying "Installed".

    Exit Code 6 is a generic error that indicates that the installation was not successful.
    Have a look at the following document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/errors-exit-code-6-exit.html
    A quick look at the error log, indicates a permission issues. Are you logged in with an Administrator account and have sufficient privileges to install software?

  • Why can't I install lion recovery?

    So I had a problem with find my mac and as told to install "Mac OSX Lion Recovery Update v1.0" (see here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1464)
    Anyway when I came to install this on my selected partition (Macintosh HD) I was presented with the following error "Lion recovery update cannot be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating JavaScript for the package"
    Does anyone know why this has happened? And also how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S. I have 3 partitions on my HDD, one is Macintosh HD, another is Bootcamp (which i created using the bootcamp installer) and the last is just a FAT partition.

    It sounds as if you don't have a functioning Recovery HD now, probably because of the altered partitioning. Is your Mac capable of Lion Internet Recovery without a Recovery HD?  Some recent (2010?) Macs that originally shipped with Snow Leopard were offered an EFI firmware update for this.
    If not, and if you don't want to erase and restore your internal HD, the other option in the linked support article was to install and keep a Recovery HD partition on a different volume than your internal HD:
    You can also use the OS X Lion installer from the Mac App Store to create an external bootable drive, complete with a Recovery HD partition. See this article for more details. This approach will, at least, create a bootable drive with Recovery HD which you can carry with you in case you need to use Internet Restore or make use of the other utilities Recovery HD provides.
    Once you have the Recovery HD as part of a new Lion installation on an external drive, you might be able to transfer just the Recovery HD from there onto a USB flash drive as described here:
    OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
    I don't know if all this is any better than the first option of reinstalling everything on the HD.

  • I can't install Lion, I get the "No Recovery" message.

    I can't install Lion, I get the "No Recovery" message. I do not have a boot camp partition. I have backed up and completed a clean install of Snow Leopard. Lion would still not install. Please help?

    Did you completely erase your drive when you reinstalled SL? If not, I would make sure that you erase the drive completely. Then install SL and make sure you run Software Update. If you already did all of those, then do it again, but this time make a bootable drive for Lion using the Lion OS X Install App. I believe you can find instructions on how to do that by searching this community or doing a google search.
    Once you have a bootable drive of Lion, then shut your machine down. Plug in the bootable drive and turn the machine on. Once you hear the tone hold down 'C' until you see the spinning clock/bars. The Lion Install menu should appear. If not, try going to the Apple icon and select Startup. Next a window should appear showing your bootable drive. Select that and follow the directions.
    Make sure that when you reinstall SL that you don't restore any of your Apps or files yet, wait to do that once you have Lion installed.

  • Why is the Lion Recovery updating downloading slowly by my ethernet but fast on my wifi?

    Came home tonight and immediately started updating the house macs.
    First, my imac.  I decided to limit the download first to the Lion Recovery Update.  It is 452MB.
    My imac connected by ethernet is reporting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.  Going real slow.
    I boot up the macbook sitting in the same chair, connected by wifi, and it downloaded and installed the same update in about 4 minutes.
    I tried stopping the imac, rebooting, making sure everything else was closed...even tried turning on the wifi...is saying 45 minutes.
    I don't get it...any tips?
    Thanks.

    Never figured this out but it finally downloaded.  Closing out.

  • My old IMAC is a few years old.  Just bought a new one OX 10.8.2.  The old one is  OS X 10.5.8.  Can I install Lion or ewuivalent and then synch both on ICLOUD.  Or is there another way to synch the two computers.

    You can use Migration Assistant in Applications > Utilities to get all your files from one iMac to the other. If you want to upgrade your older model to MtLion you need to have at least a mid 2007 Intel Core 2 Duo with a bare minimum of 2GB of RAM. Then you need to buy the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD , update with
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    at which point you can access the App Store to purchase and install MtLion 10.8 where you would then have access to the iCloud.

    Logic's preference files may have become corrupted:
    1. Quit Logic Pro
    2. In the Finder, press and hold down the "option" key then select "Library" from the "Go" menu
    3. Open the "Preferences" folder
    4. Drag the following files to the Trash:
        - com.apple.logic.pro.cs

    There are already so many discussions about installation of NSU and PCSuite, that is better for you do a little search and see if you find your solution. But, just my guess, could be a registry problem...

  • Can't install Lion from usb to my mac pro!!!

    I created a USB boot disk per instructions and when it boots on my Mac Pro all it goes to is the Safari Only interface with no options to install anything. Just to be sure I boot to the same USB on my Macbook Air and I get the OS X Lion install options/interface so the USB key works.
    I have a brand new 3TB drive as the install disc. I did boot to a Snow Leopard install disc so that I could format the drive correctly as the USB key didn't give me those options. In any case I can't install Lion for some reason to this machine. Any ideas?
    It's a 2.8Ghz Quad Core Mac Pro bought in Oct of 2008.
    Thanks!!

    It's not specifically hardware specific. But IIRC the Air computers used a special version of Lion, at least when Lion first came out.
    Try this, use LionDiskMaker to create the USB installer.
    Serial Serveur » Lion DiskMaker (US)
    See if that creates a usable USB stick.
