Part 1 of 2


There is an Apple Support article related to the Error message you have provided


It may also have the necessary step you need to work through


link below


If an error occurred while updating or installing macOS


Part 2 of 2


There are factors:


1 - Like poor Wifi connection


2 - Slow wifi connection


3 - Too many other people downloading at the same time and Apple Severs are overloaded


4 - Software on the computer interfering with the download process including AntiVirus Software


Notation: Disabling the AV Software may or may not solve the issue. Removal of the AV Software may increase the chances of the download to perform as expected.


5 - Running behind a VPN which may increase Packet losses or corruption of the download 


6 - If via wifi too many Other devices using the wifi at the same time reducing the Bandwidth to your computer. 


7 - Best Results are via Ethernet Cable to Router


8 - 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 and Try Again using the Software Update Applet in System Preferences


9 - Worst case - Restart in Recovery Mode and choose Reinstall macOS. This, in theory, will pull the latest version of Monterey available and commence the installation.

 Start up from macOS Recovery

Option-⌘-R

Upgrade to the latest macOS compatible with your Mac.


In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.


APFS won't work for Sierra or earlier, Sierra or earlier needs MacOS Extended Journaled. High Sierra won't work for APFS on earlier Macs.


What has often worked for others is to use this Restore Method instead of CMD+r keys...


Option-⌘-R

Upgrade to the latest macOS compatible with your Mac.
