i couldn't update 10.8.1 to 10.8.2. The AppStore.app couldn't find the updates about Mo...Lion. Just iPhoto, but iPhoto couldn't update too, because it depends on osx 10.8.2!!!

Do you have one of those newer Macs which require a special update? From other posts, it seems there are now three different OS versions/updates - each one of specific Macs.


I'd call Apple and give them your serial number as well as - important - your build number (click on the Apple and About this Mac; under Mac OS X, click on the numbers until you get to build .......)


Here are two that might be for your model:

I have a feeling that your machine needs one of the special versions. You can try the links I gave you; maybe they will work - I am not sure because, at this point, I am a little confused with all the different builds for different machines (the new iMacs coming out now have yet another different build!!).


Anyway, try the ones I gave you - if they do not work, call Apple and tell them you want to speak with a Senior Advisor and then explain your build number and the links/downloads you have tried.

Click on the Apple in the corner; then click on About this Mac. In the resulting window, click on the numbers below the large Mac OS X until you see "Build xxxxx". Also check to make sure it says 10.8.1.


Copy and paste both here please and also have it ready to give to Apple. The update versions are made special for each build number, so it is important to know it.

Yes, I saw that, but the first rMBP also had a special OS version (if memory serves), so I thought it was worth a shot. I'm seriously considering sending in a BR for them to properly and easily identify the different build versions for different models along with their respective updates - this is getting way too confusing. Additionally, MAS should not prompt for an update if it can't be installed on a particular machine.
