Problems installing Big Sur 11.2 update

The same for me with a brand new air. Installing big sur 12.2.1 is boggy. Even though i got 12.2 installed without any trouble. What a mess these updates.

for a simple sub version you have to reinstall whole new operating system , what a joke ????!!!! :|

Totally agree

I’ve used

I don’t understand why Apple are silent about all this. Or have I missed a major press release?

Guilty as charged! : )). I have a Dlink DIR 842 and the cable modem is a Netgear CM400

I had the same problems in the Netherlands, safe mode does not work on my 2019 macbook pro. with vpn server we managed to install big sur 11.2.1 without any problems.

This problem was reported/posted 23 days ago. Would there be a possibility that Apple will fix it ??

Starting in safe mode did not work for me :-(

You can go into recovery.

Recovery is a joke if you have a M1.

Didn't work for me, it keeps failing.

This is a bit embarrassing. Not Apple style at all. It should just f*ckin work.

It does work. Something is preventing it on your end.

Are you trying to install on internal, or external drive?

If external, Thunderbolt 3 or USB-A?

Big Sur 11.2.3 is available. You can update 11.2.1 and skip 11.2.2.

I could not get 1 to 2 to work no matter what I tried. 1 to 3 went on without any problems.

From app store, install 12 gb file of big sur. Then update using system preference. It worked for me.
