I nstalling new versions of macOS on a Mac should be a simple exercise. The Mac tells you there’s an update available via a pop-up in the Notification Centre – in some cases (depending on your settings) it’s even downloaded it already and just needs your go-ahead to install. However, sometimes when you click Go on an update things go a bit pear‑shaped. In this tutorial we’ll look at what to do if your Mac stalls or freezes during an operating system software update, or if you see an error message indicating that there is a problem.
In this article we look at what to do if you can’t download Ventura, fixes for when it won’t install and what you need to do if your Mac freezes in the middle of the update. We also run through the different error messages we have encountered when attempting to install an update to macOS and how we dealt with them.
