Looking for some tech help on the following:

I have a G3 Blue & White (c. 1999). I have been
using 10.3.5 on it with good results. I have a need
to go to 10.3.9 in order to update some other software apps.

When I insert and click on the update, I get the EULA,
check "Accept" and then it says "This volume does not meet
the requirements for this update".

The disk is 29GB and has 24+ GB still available.

There is no further msg.... What can be done??

Is the drive not big enough? Any other info helpful...

THANKS.

Hmm... perhaps you should do it in several steps, and manually install each update, starting with 10.3.6, and working your way up:
Mac OS 10.3.6 update
Mac OS 10.3.7 update
Mac OS 10.3.8 update
Mac OS 10.3.9 update

Thanks...I'll try that.
Are there volume size requirements for any of the
revisions?

Do you know of any "firmware update" requirements?
This G3 was bought from a liquidator, and came w/ 9.x
on it. We needed OS X to run the apps we use.

I don't have experience w/ Macs so any good guidance here would be useful.

THANKS AGAIN,

There probably are some, but they shouldn't be much different from 10.3.5, and since you have 24+ GB left, that's plenty of room for installing.
I don't think so. You can always check by going into "Software Update", and looking for anything that says "firmware update". Then uncheck any other software, and click "Update", so that only the firmware update will be installed (and not 10.3.9).

thanks again.

The incremental updates DID work.

I really appreciate your help.
