IMac :: 10.6.2 Combo Update Imac I7?
Mar 7, 2010
I've had some disk errors (Missing thread record) on the 2GB drive in my Imac i7. After repairing with Diskwarrior the problem reoccurred after a few days.
I did bad block test and everything was OK, so I was thinking it maybe was the OS (10.6.2) causing the error.
I DL the 10.6.2 combo update,to do a reinstall but the installer won't let me install "Mac OS X Update Combined can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update" -any suggestions?

Long story, but basically I got an "invalid sibling error" on my intel IMac and was told the best fix was to zero the HD and reinstall. I did this and got Leopard running. Now it hangs while I try to update to 5.10.8. I downloaded the combo update from Apple after it failing through system update.
I'm not sure what the issue could be. I've verified the disk, checked it's smart status is ok and run the hardware test from the install disk.

I recently began using my computer again after having to replace the power supply. Since then, my computer has refused to read cd's. It doesn't recognize data cd's at all. For audio cd's my computer mounts them but won't play any of the files and iTunes won't play them either. When I try to play audio cd's in iTunes I can hear combo drive doing something. I'm not sure if this is a software or hardware issue.

Just picked up this iMac, and it was freshly loaded with Mac OS X 10.2.3. Boots up just fine, gets to desktop normally.Â
However, I can't use the Apple keyboard to eject the combo drive that is empty (no CD inside). The Eject menu is greyed out, and even when I drag the Eject icon to the window for favourites, it is greyed out, so I can't eject the drive.Â
However, when it boots up , if I hold down the mouse button, it does eject the drive.

The MacBooks are rumored to be switching to Nehalem late this year. Do you think the iMac will be updated with them?
I can't really imagine, the Laptops being Nehalem and the iMac not.
Any thoughts?

Since the positive/negative ratings on the front page are always more tilted towards negative, rate the iMac update by stars here. Feel free to add a comment explaining your rating, or what could've made it better.

I just purchased a Pro Tools system, and they strongly recommends using the combo update. The problem is I allready have the normal update installed on my imac. So my question is if I can download and install the combo update, even though i'm allready running 10.5.6 trough the normal update?

Right after I ran the 10.5.5 Combo update my computer went haywire. I'm getting random -50 errors left and right. All kinds of stablility problems are showing up. I can't make folders. I can't copy and paste. I tried to download something from safari and it said I didn't have enough disk space even though I have over 250GB free. Then when I try to restart I spun on the grey screen for hours. Tried to reinstall the OS from the disk and it failed. Lost a lot of files. I switched users and my external HDs unmounted and couldn't come back. It's gotta be the update right? I heard of about 4 other people who use their computers in completely different fashions who all had the same or close variations to these problems when they installed the new updates.
Anyone experiencing this or am I crazy?

According to 2 articles posted today on macnn.com and appleinsider.com new iMacs will probably appear in March or June at the latest.

I've been having some issues with Mail (long story- anything after an image or an attachment in a message I create is showing up as a .htm or .txt file) and one suggestion that someone made was to download the 10.6.2 combo update and try to reinstall it to ensure that everything is all up to snuff.
Strangely, when I DL'd the combo update and tried to run it, my hard drive showed up with an exclamation mark and said I couldn't install it. Can one typically install the update on itself?
Also, is there any chance in heck that it will actually make a difference (friendly wagers here are fine, as I don't expect anyone to know for sure)?

I updated a Mac G5 desktop from 10.5.2 to 10.5.8. When I finished I realized I had used the server version of the combo updater instead of the regular one. The machine seems to be running OK. Will this cause problems and how should I fix it.

Have a G4 desktop running 10.3.5 that I tried to combo update to 10.3.9. The update was stuck at 30% for a long long time. I just figured it might take awhile and took a nap. I awoke and there was an error message that the update could not be completed. It said to try the update again by downloading it and then opening the package manually. So I was going to do that but a bit later the computer froze up and I had to force shutdown.
Upon booting the screen didn't boot all the way; only partially and then screen goes black. I ran Disk Utility from Install Disk to try to Repair the hard drive. It said keys were out of order. Later it said repair couldn't be completed because of an error.
I am running the Mac now from a Firewire drive with 10.3.2. I want to update the Firewire drive to 10.3.9 and want to make sure the same thing doesn't happen.

I'm installing 10.5.6 on the family MacBook (white) and it was running 10.5.4 previously, yet hanged when I was updating everything (there was a few updates) so I had to force power off. The Mac says it is running 10.5.6, but I wanted to apply the combo update to be safe. However, it fails when installing (it doesn't get to the stage where it reboots, still in OS X at this stage). It says "The installer could not install some files in "/". Also, repairing Disk Permissions failed too. Prior to the update, everything was working fine - I'm usually full of ideas, but when it is your Mac that is playing up I'm very keen to hear what others have to say.

I need to get the App Store working so that I can re-install a Lion upgrade that I already purchased before. I had to replace my HD and now with 10.6.8, the App Store will not open.I have installed the 10.6.8 Combo Update and then done the other software updates through the System Preferences.This still comes up when I try to open App Store: "App store cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure App Store works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple." This is the "Problem Details and System Configuration": [code]
Info:
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
