Q: Can't install OSX 10.9.1 on new iMac 27" late 2013 model.

New iMac 27", 3.4 GHz i5 processor. Late 2013 model.

 

About My Mac reports OS X 10.9 (13A3017).

 

I downloaded the 10.9.1 update, but it won't install. The error message is "OS X Update can't be installed on this disk [a graphic of the HD shows 947 GB available]. The update requires OS X version 10.9 or later." 

 

I've rebooted, still no luck. Any suggestions. I don't understand why it doesn't recognize the OS X version I'm running.

 

Thanks for suggestions.

A:

I spoke with the Apple Support people who were stumped by the problem, too. However, the problem was solved by a re-install of OS X (the current available version for installation was 10.9.1). Problem solved. One day later (today), 10.9.2 was released and updated without incident.

 

Coming from a Windows environment, I'm impressed that the OS can be reinstalled without wiping out all other programs, settings, and files.

    babowa,

     

    i am now seeing the overall picture here!!

     

    I AM WRONG,

     

    and, as i said in my very first question, from your very first reply, then i appoligise.

     

    This could have been resolved much sooner though, as,

     

    You now, seem to have great knowledge!!!!!

     

    If only you had had this knowledge in the earlier replies,

     

    then, i would not have had the need to question your theory.

     

    (Are you now working for apple lol)
