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!

Same issue here. Brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina shipped with 10.8.1. None of these worked:


- 10.8.2 doesnt display in the apps store

- Fix permissions

- Combo update wont install says there is a error with the volume

- reload Mountain from recovery partition on top of existin installation

- wiped partition and reload from revcovery


During this whole saga I also tried booting from a usb installer of ML. The mac regonized the usb and when it tried to boot from USB it failed. The usb drive is good as it works in every other mac in my house.

I have a new Mac Mini and the update for 10.8.2 does not appear. I tried the direct link and that won't install.


It is very frustrating as I cannot install any applications that require 10.8.2 such as iPhoto.


I've also tried correcting disk permissions, but that made no difference. Somebody mentioned it might be a Mac Mini specific issue, and that the update is not available, however that seems very strange with it being so long after the update was released.
