Problem installing Mac OS X Update 10.7.4

I have tried several times to install the Mac OSX Update Version 10.7.4.
Each time the comptuer will not restart and I have to use the Time Machine backup (prior to the update download) to fix it. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Hello:
A question.....how long did you wait for the computer to restart?
In any event, I think I would download the update again and then apply it.

  • Problem installing Mac OS X Update on PowerBook G4

    I'm trying to install the Mac OS X Update Combined 10.5.5 on my PowerBook G4 but it can't open the installer package. It keeps saying the Bill of Materials was not found. Are there any answers to this please?
    Thanks,
    Colin

    The System Requirements on the update page I already mentioned
    (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1055comboupdate.html) clearly state that
    *Mac OS X 10.5.1 - Mac OS X 10.5.4* is required for this update.
    Is it not obvious that 10.3.9 does not meet this requirement?
    You must buy Leopard (an OS upgrade ) before you can update it.

  • Problems installing Mac OS X 10.5.7

    I know next to nothing about Mac's so any help would be much appreciated.
    I recently purchased a copy of SIMS 3.
    Initially, It wouldn't let me install the game unless I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5.3
    I downloaded this and installed in without any problems. I then installed the game, but it said that in order for everything to run at optimum efficiency- I needed Mac OS X 10.5.7
    I proceeded without installing the update but about 30 mins into playing the game crashed- so I thought it would be prudent to go ahead and get the latest version.
    I downloaded it, however when I go to install it- I get the following message:
    You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
    Can someone PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!! This is starting to do my head in!!! : )

    Hi MaxHerrick
    1. Using the game disk uninstall the game.
    2. Go to Applications Utilities and open Disk Utility then select the Macintosh HD and Repair Disk Permissions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
    3. Open the link below, download and install the 10.5.7 Combo update:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1057comboupdate .html
    4. Rerun Repair Permissions in step 2. again.
    5. Now install the game.

  • You cannot install mac os x update combined on this volume

    Hi all,
    I need your precious help. I have install in my imac leopard 10.5.7 and last night I tried to update for 10.5.8, however the software update didn't identify the new update.
    After that I download the update from Apple website but I couldn't do the update because of this message: "you cannot install mac os x update combined on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for update".
    Could you please help me?
    Thanks,

    I ran the disk utility and saws verify disk ok. I did the same process for repair disk permissions and seems to have problems.
    These warnings are accurate but according to Apple can safely be ignored. See Mac OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore. IOW, They are not normally problems.
    I check the volume scheme but I don't have any partition
    You do have partitions & a partition scheme. To check what the scheme is, click on +the drive itself+ in the list on the left in Disk Utility. It will probably be identified as "298,1 GB WDC WD3200AAJS-40VWA0 Media" or something very similar. If it contains the startup disk, it will be the first item in the list. It will have one or more named volumes indented under it, such as "Macintosh HD."
    When you have clicked on the WDC drive instead of a volume name indented under it, you should see seven items of information about it at the bottom of Disk Utility's window, to the right of an icon representing the drive. The info is in two columns. The last item in the rightmost column, below the S.M.A.R.T. Status (which should say "Verified"), should be "*Partition Map Scheme :* " & be followed by the scheme type. It should be "GUID Partition Table."
    If you don't see the seven info items after selecting the drive, it may indicate a problem that needs attention, but I suspect that you just haven't looked in the right place for the info....
    As for the 'cannot install' message, make sure that you have downloaded the right update, that it is not the server update version for example. You may need to download it again, discarding the first download as somehow defective.

  • "You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume."

    "You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    This is the error I got when I tried to update my Macbook from OSX 10.5.6 to 10.5.7.
    I downloaded this file (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL826)
    A quick Google search suggested I get this one instead (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL827) The "Combo" update.
    Well, the 10.5.7 Combo Installer didn't help either.
    My friend suggested I try 10.5.8
    Same error message again.
    I really need to get at least 10.5.7 for software ASAP. I plan on getting Snow Leopard next month or so, but I really need at least 10.5.7 in the meantime. Any ideas?

    Some things I've tried:
    - I ran a Verify Disk in Disk Utility, and it said there are no problems.
    - Update Logs haven't shown any errors, nor has my computer ever tried to download the update and failed, according to the log.
    - I tried checking updates on a different account, no luck there.
    So far, that's all I've tried. Some of the other solutions seem more drastic, and so I'll leave those up to the skilled Tech Support guys on my campus, I've got an appointment tomorrow.

    Anyone else having a problem installing the 13.1 update to Elements 13. I keep getting the Error Code:U44M1I210

    I don't know what to tell you. I get the same crap. I have been into computers for about 25 years now and it really ticks me off that after all these years these companys can not put out something that works. It seems like they put it out then expect the buyer to fix there screw ups. Why should we have to do there jobs and have to pay for it too?

  • 10.5.8 update_'You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume.'

    You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
    This is the message I get when I click on the hard drive I wan to install it on, I have two hard drives, neither want to work with it. the one with the osx 10.5 has 63 gb left and the empty one has 102gb left. Why is it doing this/ what should I do?

    If you're not using the combo updater, use it instead.

  • I can't install Mac Os X Update combined 10.6.8

    I can download Mac Os X Update combined 10.6.8, but when I restart to install the update, the message, "The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading.The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs" comes up. I'm using a MacBook btw. Please help me solve this, thank you!

    Will do. But, I noticed something. It says the file size is 1.09 GB, but when I download it, it shows a total of 1.01 GB. Is it supposed to be like that?
    I just downloaded the update on a PC I'm using at the moment and the size is 1,087,020,133 bytes. You can use "Get Info" to see the actual size of the file on your Mac. If it is the same size then it probably means that there is a problem with the update being applied to your Mac. If it isn't the same size, that doesn't necessarily mean you have a bad download. If it isn't the same size, try using Chrome, Firefox, and/or Opera to download the update.
    BTW, Austin Kinsella might be really asking if you have enough free space for such a large download. And even if you do for the file, the update process will require some more while it is running and for the resulting, hopefully, 10.6.8 on your Mac.
    Good luck.  

  • Trouble with AOL after installing Mac OS X updates

    2006-05-23 20:41:04 -0700: Installed "QuickTime" (7.1)
    2006-05-23 20:41:08 -0700: Installed "Front Row Update" (1.2.2)

    2006-05-23 20:44:36 -0700: Installed "Security Update 2006-003 (Intel)" (1.0)
    Now I can no longer open and sign onto AOL. When I go to open the program, it stops responding before it even gets to the sign on screen. I have tried shutting down & restarting my computer several times to no avail. Since it was working before I installed these updates, I'm guessing one of them is screwing with my AOL. What can I do?
    P.S. I'm not very experienced on the Mac. Please keep this in mind when giving me instructions. Thanks in advance

    Hi azsumrg1rl! And Welcome To Discussions!
    Did you Repair Permissions after the updates were installed?
    I don't know if that will help with this particular problem, but it is a good idea to do it anyway.
    Before you reinstall AOL, try this.
    Navigate to
    HD > Users > Your Home > Library > Preferences.
    Put the America Online/AOL folder in the trash.
    Empty the trash, and restart the iMac.
    A new folder will be created the next time you successfully load AOL, but you will have to reset the AOL Preferences.
    See if AOL will load now. If it does, open AOL Preferences, and reset the configurations.
    If that doesn't work, there are some other things to try.
    Good Luck!

  • Problem installing service pack 3 update

    I have windows XP up and running on a seperate drive in my Mac Pro. I am now trying to update Windows by installing service pack 3 update via the Windows Update option in the control panel.
    I get an error everytime saying there is not enough disk space. My hard drive have 109GB of free space so I don't know what the problem is.
    Any ideas?

    jperkinski:
    Here is a solution for you that should work:
    Boot into Windows XP and get to the desktop.
    Click on the START Button
    Click on RUN
    Type Regedit in the windows and click on OK
    *Navigate to*
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE
    \Software
    \Microsoft
    \Windows
    \CurrentVersion
    \Setup
    In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value
    Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C:\”
    Try installing SP3 now and it should work.
