macOS 10.13.2 failed to install and now won't show in App Store at all

That is great. I've got the same issue with a new Macbook Pro w/Touchbar. I've been following this thread, as well as a pile of threads related to another issue they introduced with High Sierra that appears to have broken the front-facing camera in Thunderbolt displays. I hope they are able to get you sorted... and transitively me too!

I assumed the issue might be related to older MBP like my 2011 MBP 15"; maybe hardware configuration. But, you have a high end recent MBP running HS and it is happening.

Thanks. Feel better.

BTW, High Sierra has been great in general for my MBP. Seems lighter, speedier and have been getting 20% more battery usage, which is amazing. So overall, I am happy with new system. Hope your video is sorted out by Apple.

I'm having the same situation; no combination of clearing caches (using Onyx), disabling startup items, disabling macOS Server services, or using the combo update is having any effect.

Did you find a solution that worked?

hello guys, I'm also getting this failure and plus when I install this update then I get that same message although when I see on about my Mac, it says it is install but when I lunch safari or apple store I get a blank white background on both of them, and if I type on safari a website it keeps rolling and freezes like sth is standing in between, its really frustrating since now, when I installed Mac OS high Sierra again my photos need update to lunch bcsz its unsupported library since its got back to previous version ... 😟

Glad some people are getting there... but no Softraid here.

Company computer, so the “weird stuff” is: AirWatch, Endpoint Protector and BitDefender (which has been very angry since converting to APFS).

A bit off topic but APFS is so poorly supported, I cannot believe they made it automatic already. If you boot a Mac into Sierra, it CAN NOT SEE an APFS volume! DiskWarrior and disk programs cannot work with APFS. It's is NUTS that they went live with it. In the past, with features like this, what they would do is start supporting it with this version and the next version, and only many versions down the road, switch to it as the default. By then, all current older OS versions would still be able to read the disks fine, and all disk related programs would have been updated to work with it just fine, and it would be an invisible non-issue.

APFS has been a huge issues for me. And downgrading back to HFS+ is (while worth it) a HUGE hassle! What is going on in Cupertino these days?

That's not the case. Sierra can see and work with APFS volumes. Sierra had some APFS support. I just copied a large RAW image from an external APFS drive to my iMac with Sierra 10.12.6.

As far as DiskWarrior, it's up to them to update for APFS support. Some file handling software has already had upgrades, some have not. That's how it's always been.

Thank you! This actually worked for me. I tried doing the update by allowing the App Store to detect it for me. I keep hitting update but it doesn't seem to finish the job so I keep getting the banner up on my App Store icon. This issue has been on going for a week and a few days nows.

I just downloaded from this link you gave and it did the trick. That download actually detected that the dmg pack is already installed in my system. I wouldn't have known. I sent that one to trash and proceeded with the one I got from this link and it did the job!

Thank you so much!!!

Fresh install= formatted partition and installed 10.13 just as it came from the Apple site. Tried to install the 10.13.2 Combo right after, again as it came from Apple. So, if I have something that prevents the installation, it came from Apple.......

Well, I have a 1TB SSD (not Apple) formatted HFS+ (I run all operating systems from 10.6.8 to 10.13) and all except High Sierra need HFS+.

High Sierra on HFS+ is quite funky, it really needs to be on an APFS formatted SSD.

I am looking for an external SSD with Thunderbolt, but so far the prices I have seen are scary .... :-)

Same here... Nothing I have tried has worked. I'm also on a company computer, and I'm not allowed to disable Kaspersky Internet Security which is my guess as to the culprit. Although since it doesn't work in safe mode I have no idea...

I'm having the same issue. Been trying for weeks, and its constantly failing. Tried it over my work internet ( which has fiber optic high speed internet), at home over my ADSL connection, coffee shops, basically all over istanbul and nothing works

10.13.3 just came out, and unfortunately I'm having the same exact problem still. I tried installing it from the App Store, and downloading the 10.13.3 combo update directly. Both failed in the exact same way was 10.13.2.

Computers really are an afterthought these days over Apple, it would seem.
