What is the solution for Error 4042?

PS:

A portion extracted from the above related article, suggests what my post said:

"If you still need help..

Choose the error code that appears:

• 14
• 17
• 53
• 1015
• 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200
• 4005
• "The required resource can't be found"

Or* contact Apple Support."

..Blue text "live-links" can reveal details ~ from where they've directed..

Only *last choice, goes direct to other action: Support: IF you need more.

If not, or should the article not represent what you posted below that,

and repost your actual question with detail; or just try again. -- This is

a 'user-to-user' discussion area: Apple support is separate; not here.

Maybe to know more details about the device &/or systems involved, might be useful.

The 'related article' could have bearing on your question; only if it relates to your post.

There's little information about 'who what why' except for an error code; details lacking

suggestions in same related article point to 'contact Apple Support' within link, in there.

Try that, see if it works to contact actual support entity; who could further advise you.

A potential solution may exist, should you persevere given ideas

within these links to support remedies; community sourced, etc.

Generally this route may -or not- affect some positive result:

Error Code 4042 (search) throws curve, if one sees this with an iOS

device such as iPhone or iPadOS. ~ [Should a MacOS product show

this code? An unlikely path..]

Further ideas have floated about; nothing gravitational yet, shows.

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

//support.apple.com/en-us/HT201232

A recommended path may be contact Apple retail ~ or AASP

"authorized Apple service" for diagnostic, estimate, & repair.

(Maybe 'hardware' problem; behind failed macOS/iOS device.)
