Mac OS sierra app is damaged

It seems that the update contained more than Safari. Shouldn't a update to Safari not require a restart let alone need time to install. Something is fishy and apple didn't post in the update "Fix for macOS Sierra install bug". Are they allowed to do that without telling the user?

They are allowed to what they want or need to do, if you want control of them buy shares, lots of shares.

Thanks, that worked for me. I don't understand what a Safari 10 update has to do with being able to update the OS,

Obviously, this was not common, the vast majority have not had problems, like me

The vast majority just blindly download every update without having a backup plan for when Apple makes a mistake.

How is your "shiny self driving electric vehicle"

Whatever you say.

Hi,

My Mac is MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), I havent recieved any Safari updates in the app store. And the problem of damaged install still exist even after re-downloading many times. Is there any way to get the missing safari update from the appstore to correct this issue.

Thanks,

vinay.

AGAIN. I encountered the error on install issue and I solved it running the usual maintenance scripts (rebuilding indexes/ launch services, cleaning system cache, repairing permissions - Onyx is an application (FREE) that gather all these routines under a single umbrella. Well... I was there, caught in an irritating loop of downloading, trying to install, deleting, rebooting on and on for several hours. The frustration brought me here in this forum (via Google), raving, spilling philosophically my frustration - it was for the first time in a long while when I hit such a nasty wall in my relation with an Apple machine. I cannot tell you who the culprit is, user`s machine or the installer - and I don`t have neither time, nor expertise to bother with this issue. But what I can do (for the vast minority of people who find themselves in the same pit of frustration as I was) is to share the solution that worked for me: MAINTENANCE, REBOOT, INSTALL (flawlessly.. phew!!!), ENJOY SIERRA.

Good luck!

Tried the approached to fix the error "This copy of the Install macOS Sierra application is damaged, and can't be used to install macOS."

But none of above, works for me.

Seeing following in my

Any suggestions on how to install the mac Sierra?

Step 1. Shut down your computer.

Step 2."Start up from OS X Recovery. To start up from OS X Recovery, hold down Command (⌘)-R immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac. Release when you see the Apple logo." About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

Step 3. Open "Disk Utility".

Step 4. Select your Drive and run first aid.

Step 5. Restart your computer.

Step 6. Open the installer.

Let me know if this work's.

Same issue.. i.e. "This copy of the Install macOS Sierra application is damaged, and can't be used to install macOS."

And console logs:

The only way I was able to install it on the one computer that was causing me trouble was to use Disk Maker X (or do it manually) and create a bootable USB of Sierra and install from that. It is a workaround as opposed to a real fix, but it worked. It even worked with the "damaged" copy of the installer from that particular computer.

Hi Thubredhal,

I did the below steps you have provided, after doing that also I am getting the error as app is damaged. Is there any other ways to correct this.

Step 1. Shut down your computer.

Step 2."Start up from OS X Recovery. To start up from OS X Recovery, hold down Command (⌘)-R immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac. Release when you see the Apple logo." About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

Step 3. Open "Disk Utility".

Step 4. Select your Drive and run first aid.

Step 5. Restart your computer.

Step 6. Open the installer.

Thanks,

Vinay.

Did you try?

Step 1. Go to your applications folder.

Step 2. Find the installer for macOS Sierra.

Step 3. Right click on the installer and click "Show Package Contents".

Step 4. Click on folder named "Contents".

Step 5. Then Click on the folder named "SharedSupport".

Step 6. Delete the file named "InstallInfo.plist".

Step 7. Enter your administer password to confirm.

Step 8. Now open the installer.

I'm sorry for my english. I'm from Poland. The sierra is serious software error. At el capitan system save after 4 gigabytes per day, and now you can save 50 gigabytes of data. This shortens the lifespan of an SSD. Every day Sierra stores 50 gigabytes of data ... It is a very serious mistake system that will quickly consume ssd drives. update_dyld_shared_cache process save a lot of data on hard drive...
