OS X 10.6.2 Update - 'Can't be installed on this disk' pops up

[jaykingfunk7239]

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find it when I searched!

I've recently installed OS X 10.6 and now want to install the update 10.6.2.

I work in a school and our Internet is heavily restricted so I can't click 'software update' so I've downloaded the update from apple at home and brought them in.

When I try and install I get the following: Mac OS X update can't be installed on this disk. The volume does not meet the requirements for this update.

I'm using a 20" iMac with 2.16 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 4GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive with plenty of space left on it!

Any help would be very much appreciated,

Cheers, J

You need to download the 10.6.2 Combo update, here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959

I feel a bit stupid for not thinking of that!

Thanks, J

having same trouble, but . . .

I get the same "can't install in this volume, etc." when trying to install ANY update including the COMBO, the Mail Services, etc. Suggestions?

Did you try after backing up with time machine? The apple kb ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3874 ) suggest backup before applying the combo update.

I don't suppose that Apple could tell you why the update can't be installed. Display 'Error' because Display 'ErrorCode'?
