Does anyone know what error 702 on system installation means?

Does anyone know what error 702 is or means and/or what can be done about it. This occurred during a system installation, probably three quarters of the way through. The latest time it occurred for me was during Ventura installation. This is the message I got on a Sonoma installation. The same thing happened with Ventura.



Thanks very much.

Hey, thanks for the update. It looks like it's having a hard time downloading the needed files for the installation. Are you on wireless? If so, are you able to try a wired connection? That can also happen from the time being off in the recovery environment. This link can help you manually change it from the terminal if you're comfortable running commands.

Lastly, you could also try to reset your NVRAM. Here is Apple's article for that.

Does any of that help you?
