I get this message too! I think it is because your computer isn't supported by this system.

HERE is a list of the supported macs

On the page to upgrade to yosemite when i tried to install it says me that the computer isn't supported and when i clicked learn more , it opens a link with the list of supported macs. Now probably apple didn't change it and shows this text


* I don't know if this is the correct answer for your problem. If the mac is in the list of supported macs i don't know what to do ( This is only a suggestion )
