I have all three combo updates 10.7.2, .3 and .5. But I get the same error they just wont load. I get a message saying that mmy hard drive (the main drive) does not meet the requirements and each of my disks has a yellow triangle by them in the install window. Is it my chipset ? One of the advice pages says I should have core2due i3 or i5 or i7. Mt system is a dual processor quad-core (8 core altogether) is this not compatible with those upgrades. ?

That error may occur if the drive is not formatted correctly. Open Disk Utility. Select the main drive entry then look in the status area at the bottom. Check that the Partition Map Scheme is GUID and that the SMART status is "Verified." Now select your Macintosh HD volume under the main entry. Check that the Format reads Mac OS Extended, Journaled. If it is not Journaled then click on the Enable Journaling icon in the DU toolbar.

Yesterday I backed up this main drive, repaired it, and then replaced all files from the back up and made it my boot frive again. I did a verification, and the report is clean. It meets all of the criteria above you mention, except I notice when I actually click on the drive below the drive title, there is a blank field where the other drives have something written there. The field "mount point" apart from a forward slash '/' is blank. On the other drives it says/Volumes "drivename". I can't type in there so am not sure whether that would cause a fault or not, or how to rectify it.


I also have noticed that since the update from 10.6.8 to 10.7. I get java update request on startup, it checks for software but always says no software found. I have tried to get the java runtime independently but it says I need 10.7.3... back to square one. I have a few other application that are compatible with 10.7 but when I click on them nothing happens, ITunes being one of them,
