It cannot finish the download because the update could not be verified!
I have tried to download it 3 times on a 2013 Air. It keeps eating up my memory but will not for complete the process. Is it possible to erase the incomplete Catalina downloads? Where do I find them? Very disappointed by Apple at this point. :(
Yup.
No need to reboot.
Small delay before the offer to upgrade reappeared.
Thank you! This worked for me.
Odds are you have content caching on. What this does is store things off to speed things up - but in this case it is keeping old stuff around.
Go to System Preferences and in there look for Sharing. In that you will probably see “Content Caching” is checked. Click “Options”. There you want to click the “Reset” button.
Clearing out your cache means that old and new won’t be intermingled (Apple does some interesting tricks).
Okay, now you can redownload it.
Good Luck!
Try again by unclicking, save then click again, save and then reboot! The option "set date and time automatically" should be left clicked.
On another note, today I am experiencing random crashes that generate automatic reports sent to Apple. The more I think about it, the more I realise the new OS is packed with bugs! Very poor effort by Apple!
I got help from the Apple Support Team in Ireland this morning. It took some time (about 2 hours, including rebooting my MacBook Pro 2017), but they helped me installing macOS Catalena, version 10.15. It now works as it should (I think...).
I am having the same issue, already tried to download the updated 3 times and same result. I have a Macbook Pro late 2016 with touch-bar
Catalina-update failed. Tried the above. Failed again. How about that friends at Apple?
I did this and it worked for me
Great! Although it shouldn't be this hard to make a simple OS update! Let's hope Apple picks up its game!
agreed!
Finaly I find a Catalina Patcher in internet and installed Catalina 😁
Thanks! it worked for me after 11 attempts since yesterday.
I downloaded it work for my work laptop, zipped it up, and applied it to my systems at home. Worked like a charm, although I hope this isn’t the normal course in the future.
Did not work for me. MacPro 2019 on OS Catalina
Catalina update cannot be verified
