Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi ,
I tried to install the latest macOS update, I didn't have enough space on my laptop, so I had to make some room. Now my laptop has more than enough memory, but I keep getting this error. I already tried booting up in safe mode, but I keep getting the same error.
Thanks!

Same problem. Retried several times. Why they don't retain the download cache so we don't have to re-download the entire 3.25GB from the beginning each time is beyond me. The problem is NOT the internet connection. All the "solutions" I've seen so far on this forum are work-arounds (hacks). Apple needs to fix this ASAP. It took me several attempts and a lot of freeing up of disk space to get Big Sur to install in the first place. Now the thing can't even update itself, despite my MBP having plenty of free space. I don't want to reboot into safe mode, stand on one foot, pat my head and rub my belly. I want an updater that A) works or B) at least provides accurate error messages. If I'm going to pay more for a product, I expect it to work at least as well as the competition.
Thanks Vakoinoglou, I have uploaded a systems log with the issue via the Feedback Assistant App as you suggested. Hopefully someone will notice and take an interest in it.
Mark have you tried writing your own operating system???
Same for me... several times, no problem with the internet connection but failed several times. No file dowloaded.
This fix worked for me. The hardest part is finding out that you have successfully gotten into safe mode. Thank you, oldtoad.
This worked for me. Finally! Thank you very much
