I went to install the Ventura 13.0.1 update today. It installed fine on my M1 based MacBook Pro. It failed to stall in my Intel iMac (27 inch, 2020 iMac). I tried rebooting, made sure nothing else was running, etc. No luck. It asks me the standard licensing question, I say go ahead, it looks like it is downloading perhaps 2 updates. One is the Ventura, one is "Pro video formats". But I eventually get an error that install failed with little other info. Thoughts?

I've had better luck installing from the Safe Mode because I evidently have some 3rd party software that interferes with the installation so try the following:
#1 - boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3-5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
#2 - go to the System/Software Update preference pane and begin the download.
#3 - run the installer from the Safe Mode.

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drives from loading
3 - If using a Bluetooth Keyboard - suggest using a USB Keyboard for the Safe Boot process
4 - The Bluetooth Kernel may not load fast enough to capture the SHIFT keyword depression to achieve Safe Boot
5 While in Safe Boot - try the download of Ventura 13.0.1 again
I am on M1 MBP. Ventura 13.0 and I got a system message to update to 13.0.1
After following the system setting prompts my machine restarts theoretically installing the software but it does not appear to work...no errors etc just a replay of the prompt to install and this process continues resulting in the update failing.
Frustrating...there must be some error buried away from the UX.
Following this thread in hopes that a resolution will be shared.
Bummer. I'm having the same issue too. ANy fix?
Unfortunately, no luck. Since no one seems to have a solution (and I haven't had time to call apple support), I am thinking I might just have to wait for the next update and see if that one loads!
Photo finish again ☺️ 👍
