MacOS – Unable to update Mac OS 10.7.5

macmacossoftware-update

I am trying update my iMac OS from 10.7 to 10.7.5. I've downloaded the MacOSXUpdCombo10.7.5.dmg file, but when updating, it gives an error like:

Mac OS X Update Combined can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.

What can I do to successfully update the OS?

Best Answer

Make sure that your have downloaded the correct combo updater:

  • OS X Server should have the 10.7.5 Server Combo updater = DL1585 ≈ 1.99 GB
  • OS X Client should have the 10.7.5 Client Combo updater = DL1582 ≈ 1.91 GB

To determine whether the client or server version is installed on your Mac, use the Terminal command: $ /usr/bin/sw_vers

Example output for 10.7.5 Server:

ProductName:    Mac OS X Server
ProductVersion: 10.7.5
BuildVersion:   11G63
