You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.

This is the problem I run into when trying to install Safari 3.1. Have tried several times with fresh downloads. What's worse is that I deleted the version of Safari I had prior to this, so now I have no Safari whatsoever. Anybody out there know how to go around this? I do have the newest version of Leopard.

See my answer to your other post.

YOU CANNOT INSTALL SAFARI 1.2 ON THIS VOLUME ??????

WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL SAFARI1.2 I GET THIS MESSAGE
YOU CANNOT INSTALL SAFARI1.2 ON THIS VOLUME. THIS SYSTEM CANNOT USE THIS SOFTWARE.
WHY IS THIS HAPENING????
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) [email protected]

You are likely to have a newer version of Safari installed already. So the Updater will refuse to install the older version. A requirement for specific system version does not automatically include all above releases as well. It says it require 10.4.2 and not "10.4.2 or above".
Safari version 1.2 was for Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.x) only.

"You cannot install Safari on this volume-" message.

Hi,
I just downloaded Safari 4 (running the Safari 4 Public Beta currently). However, when I go through the installation dialog, when I arrive at the screen to select the installation disk, I cannot choose my hard drive (startup volume) and get the following message:
"You cannot install Safari on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
Obviously my machine is compliant with the minimum requirements for Safari 4, so what could be the issue here?
Thanks,
Tom.

Then try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

You cannot install safari on this volume

I have a PowerMac G4 i'm trying to install safari 5.0.3 but it has this error message. I looked everywhere but there is no other version of safari??

Use Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.5 DVD and then run the Mac OS X 10.5.8 combo updater.

"You cannot install Safari on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."

I am trying to install Safari 5.05 for Leopard, but during the installation process, the error message above appears when selecting the volume to install it on.
Apparently the minimum OS requirement for Safari 5 on Mac is 10.5.8, which my Mac has. My Mac's processor is a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (the default for one of the Intel Macs that came out a few years ago), which should be good enough for Safari 5. I am attempting to install via an admin account. There is nothing in Apple Software Update relating to Safari (the current working version of Safari that my Mac has is 4.05).
Any help please?

So, on that page I should click on the Download button to the right? It just takes me to http://www.apple.com/safari/download/, where the "Safari 5.0.5 for Leopard" is what I initially tried, and is what resulted in the aforementioned error message during the installation process. See below for screenshots of the installer error message and my Mac's details, respectively:
I also tried the Snow Leopard and Tiger versions of Safari just in case those worked, but obviously I didn't have the correct Mac version, so I couldn't even begin the installation process.

I deleted safari, accidently, now when i reinstall it by downloading safari, it says" it cant be installed on this disk. the update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8. How do i get that

"You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications" How do I fix this?

"You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications." How do I fix this?

Version 2.0.4 is iWeb 08 and direct publishing via ftp is not available in iWeb 08 and never has been. You have the option of publishing to MobileMe, but you can publish via ftp, but you need to select the option publish to a local folder instead and then upload using Cyberduck, which is a free and dedicated ftp client.
If you want the inbuilt ftp function, then you will need to upgrade your iLife package to either iLife 09 which contains iWeb 09 or iLife 11, which also contains iWeb 09. For this, you need to purchase both of these packages. Either go to Amazon and try and get a copy of iLife 09 more cheaply or purchase iLife 11 directly from the Apple store.
This is what you will need to do and iWeb 08, which is the version you have, never has had built in ftp so that option will never be available to you unless you upgrade which you will have to pay for. Upgraded and updates are different things. Updates are just your normal run of the mill software updates and address bug fixes etc., whereas you will need to pay for full upgrades to other packages such as from iLife 08 to iLife 09 or 11.

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.

You cannot install Mac OS X Server Update on this volume. (10.5.6)

I hope someone can help!
I started with 10.5.5, but was having lots of problems with MobileMe. I have downloaded 10.5.6 which I have heard is more stable but it won't allow me to install it with the following error message "You cannot install Mac OS X Server Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." I have then downloaded 10.5.7 which installs fine but does not fix my original problem and I know it is less stable that 10.5.6. I have tried to install 10.5.6 again but same problem. Any ideas of what I have to do to my HD to make it happen?
The main problems I am having with MobileMe is registering the computer (it wont happen), syncing (it wont happen because the computer isn't registered), and publishing iweb updates.
Thanks, J

You downloaded the wrong updater version. You downloaded an updater for OS X Server but do not have OS X Server installed, hence the error. The 10.5.6 Combo Updater is here.
You will have to provide more information about the problem you are having with MobileMe. And, you should login to your MM account online so you can post your problem in their specific forums.
Before you install a system update I suggest you see the following:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the hard drive and permissions:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions

B. Make a bootable backup of your current working system:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
C. Important: Please read before installing
1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. Download and install update(s):
1. Use Software Update, or
2. Download standalone updater(s).

I am getting this message: You cannot install Security Update 2011-002 on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update?
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.

I'm trying to install neat desk. It said " you cannot install neat on this volume". What does this mean? I do have the neat desk for the mac.

It could very well be they only tested it up to Mac OS X 10.6.1. Contact Neat Desk and ask them what they have tested it on.

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,
lG

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.

You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume

Hi,
A while ago I made this post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=448726&tstart=0) asking for post-new-harddrive installation help. I have just installed an 80GB hard drive into a iBook G3 tangerine clamshell.
It was suggested in the above post that I partition my hard drive so that the first partition had less than 8 GBs. I did this - the first partition currently has 6.9 GBs free. The other partition has 67.4 GB free.
However, when I try to proceed with the installation, I can't get past the "Select a Destination" screen because BOTH volumes are marked as "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. You cannot start up your computer using this volume."
Any advice? What have I done wrong, here?
(Also, be advised... I am a total novice at this). Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
PowerBook G4, iBook G3 Clamshell Mac OS X (10.3)

Hi Deb,
Thanks for your reply. I was unaware if this was a Panther or an iBook G3 issue, and you're right - I'll take a look on the iBook G3 boards.
In the meantime, it seems that I might have found a solution to the problem. It seems that a restart is required after the drive is partitioned, whereupon Panther recognizes the newly partitioned disk.
After the restart, Panther recognized both volumes and let me proceed with the installation. We'll see if things work out (installing Panther now).
Thank you for your help!
