error occurred installing

I am trying to install MacOS Big Sur and when I click upgrade now it says, "An error occurred while installing the selected updates" I have enough storage space because that was the first issue, and now it won't even let me update my Mac.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Hello ivan_walsh,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand an error message appears, when you try to download the update for macOS Big Sur. We'll be happy to help.


We recommend to restart your Mac and attempt the update again. Here's two helpful articles on how to perform each step:


  1. Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac
  2. How to update the software on your Mac


Please let us know if that helps.


Kind regards.
