Mac OS X Update can't be installed on this disk.
Hi there,
I keep getting the error when trying to update 10.6.6 from the original installation (10.6.6 was shipped with the mac on the install media) to 10.6.7 using either standalone or combo update.
The iMac is an iMac12,1 - iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)
It is a fresh install but the 10.6.7 combo update shows the error in the screen grab. I don't want to go to 10.6.8 as this wreaks havoc with some software I have installed on the machines.
any help appreciated
Try to install 10.6.6 onto an empty volume on the same disk or an ext HD, migrate from the original on first boot, and then update it. If that works, then wipe the original and restore the new one.

I am missing my 'mail' application and can find it no where on the Macbook Pro. Can't reinstall it as warning says'Mail update can't be installed on this disk'
According to the iTunes specific error codes web site.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
See if the iPad will boot up this way.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
Office 2011 version 14.0.1 update can't be installed on this disk.
Hello,
I am having some issues with Word for Mac (Microsoft Office 2011) and am trying to find update solutions (even though my software is up to date according to my iMac).
When I try and install the updates the error box reads: "A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume".
I have no idea what this means?!?!?!
I realise this is not a Word for Mac forum, but is anyone else experiencing issues of saving files to docx format?
This is why I am trying to install software updates.

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
If it's a new MacBook Pro (2012), you have to update in > Software Update. They need a special version -

The update "Mac OS X Update" can't be installed.
I get this message after it asks me to restart, and when the bar is moving it randomly stops and gives me this message:
The update "Mac OS X Update" can't be installed.
The Installer could not validate the contents of the 'MacOSCUpd10.5.6' package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I'm running the update right through the software update screen. It's odd. I have just a two-week old MacBook Pro and can't figure out why I'm receiving this problem.bushido_fish wrote:

It's probably a corrupted update. It failed to validate. Nothing to do with your computer. One or more bits in the download are wrong.
I suggest using the download from the apple site:

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.

Need help with "OS X Update Combined (10.8.2) can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating Javascript for the package."
Any ideas or suggestions?
ThanksWell, I've tried your solution without luck.
So, I tried reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion (without formatting the HDD) and it worked! I did it like this:
- Turned on my MBP while holding down Command-R to start OS X Recovery
- Chose the option to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion
After a while, the system rebooted and OS X 10.8.2 was already installed. All my data remained on the HDD since I didn't format it before reinstalling OS X.
Hope it helps some of you with the same problem. -
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.
