10.10.2 Combo update "can't be installed on this disk"

Running the 10.10.2 Yosemite combo update on three different machines.

Get to the point where the dialog allows me to "select a destination".

ALL volumes have a yellow exclamation point that says:

"OS X Update Combined can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."

What are the requirements? I do have FV2 running on boot volumes. Is that it? Must I decrypt to install?

Funny thing 30+ hours after the initial release, the only just now managed to pull the "wrong" combo installer from their servers...Go figure :/

That's true (the 841,1MB one, not the 840,3MB)

You don't have enough space.

I had mentioned that a while ago - he answered saying it was a typo and that he's got 98 GB (can't remember on which page - not easy to find anything in this iteration)...... ahh, never mind, actually found it: page 3

akent35 I totally agree with you. I live in an area where we don't have access to the really good internet speeds and so I have always gone with the combo updaters to avoid every having to go through all of the point upgrades should I ever have to reinstall the initial version of the operating system, the .0 version. This just blew my mind when I ran the update this morning and was told that it would not install on my setup. Then, it really blew my mind when I found this thread. What in the world is going on at Apple these days with buggy updates and now a COMBO update that is NOT a combo update. Very disheartening.

Hey guys

Updated my iPhone to 8.1.3 and Yosemite to 10.10.2. BIG mistake...

The new 10.10.2 update breaks FaceTime voice calls routed through the iPhone. When calling someone, it sounds like you're talking to Talking Tom Cat. No kidding. And the call sound quality is unbearably atrocious. Sometimes I'm wondering what kind of testers does Apple have.

Anyway, how do I downgrade to 10.10.1? Is there any way?

If you have a full backup of your previous system - yes (and you'd have to erase your drive). If not, no. Macs do not support going 'backwards'.
