Installed 10.2.3 update Cannot install software on this disk, volume does
I recently bought an ibook and installed mac os x 10.2.2 which is the original software that shipped with this ibook. I am trying to update the 10.2.2 to 10.2.3 using a download off of apples website. When i try to install it, it runs as it should and when i get to the select destination portion I see my 40gb partitioned hdd with about 35gb total remaining.
It simply says, installing this software requires 196mb of space...You cannot install this software on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements.
Any help would be appreciated.
Welcome To Discussions txtexhox22!
In Your Other Topic, the discs you said You Purchased, are version 10.2.4, not 10.2.2.
If that is what you installed, you cannot not install a 10.2.3 update.
Quoted:
iBook OS X Software Install 10.2.4 (2 cd's) cd version 1.0
iBook Software Restore (3 cd's) cd version 1.3 (OS X 10.2.4 & 9.2.2)
When you run Software Update, what version updates are offered?
Perhaps if you download & install the 10.2.8 Combo Update, it will work.
Also run Repair Permissions before and after the installation.

I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on. I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install. I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software. My machine is about 8 months old so, it's in the newish range. HELP!
Sometimes the App Store version doesn't work correctly. In this case, install 10.8.4 with the Combo version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download -
After re installing OS x I got following information as I want install IPhoto. These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
The answer was authorization codes. It took three phone calls, several emails to Apple Tech support (after I purchased the $160 applecare plan) to get them. Note, I had to call back after four days, the first Senior Advisor simply disappeared and refused to respond to emails or phone calls. The next Senior advisor spent the weekend looking for the first advisor, then scheduled a phone call to tell me he would begin looking at the issue. When I asked he specficially discounted the authorization codes:
"I don't know if issuing a redeem code for iPhoto is an appropriate resolution for your issue. Since, I don't have the ability to issue any redeem codes for the Mac App Store, I am still waiting to hear back from Sean, the previous agent you were working with, regarding any status he has about your issue."
Three days after that...here are your codes. Note a restart is necessary to properly get the iLife apps to update, now through the App Store.
Also, this is the second issue where I have lost contact with a Senior Advisor and had to restart the process. Standard procedure? -
should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update? I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?
Installing 10.0.7 negates the need to install previous updates. Just install it (it will upgrade your projects to a newer format as well, from memory).
Thankfully, the days of doing it the way you were thinking are well behind us. -
"You Cannot Install OS X on This Disk. OS X cannot start up from this disk".
Hey, I am running Lion on a Macbook Air 2010 model and i recently bought Mountain Lion through the MAC App Store. ive had problems installing it as i cant install it onto my Macintosh HD (startup Disk). Ive opened the ML installer and its rebooted my mac into the installer Menu, but when it goes to install, it stops and says You Cannot Install OS X on This Disk. OS X cannot start up from this disk." i want to be able to install ML overwriting Lion on my MacintoshHD (startup drive), are there any solutions that can fix this problem?
Glad to hear it!
I ran into another problem: The USB cable I was using for my external backup disk was not reliable. I kept getting "disk ejects" at various points during migration.
I bought a new "2.0 certified" cable and it worked fine. The first two attempts resulted in re-installs.
I'm happy to report that after the 3rd re-install of ML everything appears to be OK.
I disabled TM and keeping my last b/u offline for a few more days to be safe.... -
After downloading ,completing the lic agreement phase, the next step is where to install and automatically' MAC HD with 904 gb available this disk is used for time machine backups' is shown and installation is blocked .
Any body got any idea what to do next ?Time machine needs its own partition to operate. So you are not going install a OSx Lion on that volume.
If there is enough room you may be able to partition the drive on the fly with DiskUtility
Are you saying you clean installed Lion and you are trying to move your user Data over with TM via the migration Assistant? Please explain. -
Maverick upgrade issue : OS X cannot start up from this disk
Hi all, everytime I try to upgrade to Maverick for my new mackbook air, I got this problem 'OS X cannot start up from this disk' (MACOSX). I tried deleting files to get more space, repairing disk and determine that it is not time machine issue, but to no avail. I have 58 gb free space on my 128 gb SSD. Can anyone help ? It is really frustrating. I am not sure what is the other disk called OS X install ESD which is 5.42 GB total.

I'm trying to upgrade my tiger installation with leopard, but I get the message "Mac os x cannot start up from this volume". It is the internal disk and I have a Linux install too on that disk. Earlier I used Refit but I have removed it. Do I have to repartition? Partiontabel is GUID-partiontable in diskutil.
Removing an app or bootloader like rEFIt or OS such as Linux does not ensure that the drive is back to where it was before you installed these programs.
Even having a partition for TechTools eDrive will cause problems.
First I would run DU and check/repair your HD and then run a file permission verify/repair and zap the PRAM.
I would then suggest backing up Tiger and Linux with clones and completely erasing the HD using the full (not quick) erase and then installing Leopard and migrating your Tiger material back. -
Mac os x cannot start up from this disk
I have a 2008 MacBook Air which runs Leopard. I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard and then Lion. I have the Snow Leopard family pack disk and try to do the install but it say 'Mac OS X cannot start up from this disk' and shows a yellow triangle with a !
I went to the genius bar and they told me to put the Snow Leopard disk in the superdrive and restart holding down C and it would then work - but it did not. I also saw on a forum about using disk utility and partion and resizing the partition then putting it back as it was originally and then re trying but I get the same message.
Anybody got any ideas?Saw an article by Topher Kessler: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10330520-263.html
The extract from that article below worked for me.
Note when I first resized the partion (comment above) I did not 'apply', this time I did and then resized back to the original full size and hit 'apply' again. Although when the install starts it shows the size of the partion to be the smaller (temporary) size, it is not and the install completes with no issues.
Boot from the Snow Leopard DVD and select your language. Then launch "Disk Utility" from the "Utilities" menu and perform the following steps:
Select your boot device (the device above the boot volume name), and select the "Partition" tab.
Resize the partition by selecting the volume name in the rectangular volume representation and drag the bottom-right corner of it to change its size.
Click "Apply" to change the partition's size.
Revert the change by dragging the same resizing corner back to the bottom, and click "apply."
After this is done, quit out of Disk Utility and try installing Snow Leopard again. Since you are booted from the Snow Leopard DVD you should be able to continue immediately without having to reboot your system.
Hope this helps others. Thanks Topher! -
After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app
As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app. I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
Soft reset ipad
Hard reset ipad
logout of itune store and login
delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again. This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote. My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it. For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8.You are not alone. Here's one thread
Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem. -
Just installed 12.0.1 update... software update still says 12.0.1 is available!
This was happening to me in versions of itunes 11 as well.
1. I installed the latest version (12.0.1) available from Apple Software Update, then reboot if needed.
2. Open iTunes and "check for updates" - I have the latest version (12.0.1)
3. Open software update and "New software is available from Apple - iTunes 12.0.1"
No matter how many times i uninstall as per the Apple support docs about completely removing iTunes, software update seems to think i have an update available even though it's already installed.
Its only happening on my home PC. I have iTunes on my work PC and it updates ok (with no further notifications of the same update)
Both PCs are running Win7 x64 Ultimate SP1
Any ideas?I rebooted PC after installation ,working fine

Updates cannot install - 10.7.3
I receive message that "None of the selected updates could be installed. An unexpected error occurred." after the mac software update has downloaded the updates. I've run a permissions repair and trashed the updates in the library. Any ideas? Thanks.
How much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If there's plenty of available space, reinstall the Mac OS X using Lion Recovery -
In trying to install iTunes 10.4.1.10 I could not get Apple Mobile Device Support to work. Following Apple support (docs Ht1923 ?71926 + TS1538 et al) cleaned out all Apple software for a "new" install. Still can not get Mobile Device Support to install. What am I missing?
See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates if you haven't already done so.
After uninstalling iTunes and the related components it is useful to physically delete any files that may remain in the specified locations before attempting to reinstall.
If that still doesn't work you could try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AMDS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, and you might be able to run iTunes even if you can't update your devices at this stage.
Make sure you download a fresh copy of the installer as it was updated some time after the initial release.
