Can't update from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2

We are upgrading our Macs to Mac Minis in our office. I have currently set up at lease 6 of them and upgraded from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2. The mini I am currently working on does not display the 10.8.2 upgrade in the app store. The iPhoto update is displayed but won't install because I do not have 10.8.2. I have downloaded the 10.8.2 combo and the 10.8.2 but it won't load. the message is "the volume doesn't meet the requirements for this update". This is the same machine as the others I have just updated. They are all brand new. Please help!

Apple removed the update from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2 today!

The combo updates are for the earlyer macs, but the 2012er versions have a special 10.8.2 build,

i tried to download the special combo update for my mac mini 2012 but the download link

from apple is removed too!

i think we should wait 😟

No go. Still "invalid checksum" on download. Just redownloaded 3x. latest error is: "image data corrupted".


Also tried the App Store "10.8.2. / iTunes 11" update. That downloaded, rebooted, and gave an error on restart -- something like "the updates you are trying won't work..."


My 1 week old Mac Mini is getting very nervous about being chucked into the wall. 😮

The 10.8.2 link on the previous page worked! Thanks petegas4life!

As this thread is getting huge, I want to remind people that this update available here WILL install to the new Mac Mini shipped with 10.8.1. I know a number of people did this last week, could anyone care to mention if they had had any problems since? I'm getting really sick of not being able to access my iPhoto library because I can't update iPhoto.

Yes, I know - I was referring to a website which should not have been offering OS updates when they were not even publicly available from Apple. No idea where they got them. As far as I know, legal downloads for OS updates are only available from Apple. Googling "download 10.8.2" only shows some piratebay type hits (aside from Apple).

Can't update from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2
