Finally got around to letting my iMac update to Sonoma. System automatically changed my wallpaper to "Sonoma Horizon" but it will NOT let me download any of the new wallpapers. I click download, it starts for a second and then immediately the download button pops right back up. Any ideas? Maybe just something that needs patched? I have tried restarting and shutting down completely and nothing seems to be working. :(
iMac 24″, macOS 14.0
This may be a long shot but try booting into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and download the wallpaper from there. Then reboot normally.
NOTE 1: 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
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.

Strange, I had no issues at all with this on my 24in iMac and on my M1 MBP
