OS X 10.10.1 installer says the requirement for the update does not meet
Greetings.
I noticed the auto update setting of my MacBook Air had been not working for a month or so today.
So I tried to manually update OS X 10.10.1 (released Nov 17, 2014) and got this message from the installer: "OS X Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
But the thing is, my mac already meet the requirement, as description of the update.
My mac is on OS X 10.10 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 Update states the system requirement as "OS X Yosemite 10.10"
How can I update my mac? What can be the source of this problem?
FYI, once I participated in Public Beta of Yosemite and clean-installed 10.10 from 10.9 with disk formatting.
Tried solution: rebooting, and repairing permission and repairing OS disk using Disk Utility.
Thank you in advance.

In About this Mac, click on the Version number. It will change to a build number. Please post that. Although it sounds like you don't have a beta still installed, it may be still hanging around which would cause the problem you see.
The GM Build was 14A389.
Never knew the version number could be clicked, and now it says 10.10 (14A379b).
I googled the build number and it's Public Beta 4. Now it is clear that my mac still have old beta version AND the OS X showed a message to me when I tried to download a copy of Yosemite from the App Store:
Maybe the OS thinks itself as a full release of 10.10 for some reason. It explains why it did not auto download and install the system updates, regardless of the auto update System Preference of App Store.
Now I am going to download and re-install 10.10 rather than updating the OS.
Thank you very much Barney-15E for providing the clear answer and others for reading and giving advices.
Have a nice day!

After installing Mavericks on my 2008 Mac Pro (10GBRAM, several HDs, 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) Software updater says there is an update available. iMovie Apple Version 10.0 Released Oct 22, 2013.
So I click the UPDATE button
Software Updater puts up a dialog that says "Your computer’s video card does not meet the minimum system requirements".
I have ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB. What card SHOULD I have?
Thanks.It is a easy fix to this problem.
I have this video card
iMac 24 inch, early 2008.
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB .

Yuo will see the imovie icon waiting to install.
3.clic the sub menu tab and select "try apdate in an hour" option from the sub menu.
4.leave the app store window open and came back in an 1hr .
Like magic you will see the imovie app being upgrade it in the lunch pad .

The link to system requirements for Firefox 4 beta takes you to a page that gives you the requirements for Firefox 3.6 instead. I assume that the requirements for the beta are different as I can't seem to install the beta on my Macs. Where can I find the beta system requirements?
I never expected Mozilla to neglect the users of Apple's PowerPC (PPC) computers, while still supporting much older operating environments such as Windows XP. So, I should just throw away a $6,000 system, which is still fast and functional, and contribute masses of heavy metals to land-fills because…?
I'm hurt and confused after supporting Firefox for many years — installing and using it not only on my own computers but on most of my customers' computers. Now I have to tell my customers with PPC Macs they can't have a secure cross-platform browsing experience from Mozilla. They'll have to learn to use some other browser, or buy a new computer.
If one doesn't buy a new computer every year, one doesn't deserve Firefox 4. This is sort of sounding more like a Microsoft™© doctrine. (But wait, I can still have Firefox 4 on a ''SERIOUSLY CRAPPY WINDBLOWS XP pile of rubbish?!'') Please open your eyes Mozilla. This just doesn't make sense. -

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.

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! I have a MAc OS x 10.5.7 and had bootcamp installed on it so i could run both windows and mac! Over the last few days ive recieved a trojan virus on my windows... so i deleted my partition on mac so i basically just had Mac... now i am trying to reinstall my partition but disk utility is saying that i have an invalid volume free block count as it should be 41189365 instead of 41182017....argh! ive read the help stuff on it and it suggests me removing everything off my mac... but will i need 2 still have the mac install disc 1 to hand? as i have currently misplaced this and im ripping my hair out! Ive never had problems with my Imac until now and im really worried! I could really do with the help! Thanks Sam

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 -
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

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 want to upgrade my 2008 Mac pro to the latest one, will it meet the requirement for the future Software that's coming out for the next four years?.
I'd wait. What can't you do that you need? You mean you want to buy a new model, then why not wait for an actual new one, not the two year old 5,1, when you need to and have outgrown.
Yours will run Mountain Lion. yours is 4 yrs old and still supported and has life left. -

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.
