UPDATE* Tried safe mode, no luck. Tried changing wifi from router to iPhone link (as another user suggested worked for them) and no luck...same stupid lying message about checking my internet connection.
Totally Agree, every time there is an update, it takes me days to google and figure out to upgrade. I have 1G fix wire stable internet, and nearly 1T space available, yet, same shit every time. As a developer I am totally bwmused by the amature behaviour and programming skills of the developers to not have a bit more clarity in the error responce, as to indicate what the problem is. if its a network problem, why doesnt it say correcupted update file, or if its space say its space. If it treated my users this way i would be unemployed. ike i say, after I solve this current update, the next one might take me 4 months to update because of the wasted time... Any logs anywhere that can help?
I had this issue with my MacBook Pro (Intel). I took it to the Apple Store and they somehow managed to install the update. Then the issue popped up on my iMac (Intel). After trying all the steps outlined in this and other forums (recovery mode, etc), I finally figured out that I needed to boot off of a separate drive to install the update. I created a bootable USB drive using the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372.
Once I booted from that drive, the install went flawlessly.
Good luck.

Add a CommentSame issue- brand new iMac with the M1 chip and out of the box storage available (like +800G) and high speed internet. Says 2-4 days to download 12GB and fails. Not sure what the deal is but on second try now (2 days) and will call store if it still doesn't work or there's no good answer here. Sort of underwhelmed by this issue given my expectations for Apple.
This sort of problem arises, when the System Analyser had less knowledge of about third-world countries and IT system in those countries. Such stupids are mostly from rich family, from USA or UK, studied in Harvard or similar rich Universities and then joined Apple or Microsoft. In recent years, Windows also following path of macOS, and setting lots of obstacle for users worldwide.
