And it's true for both of my Macs running OS 10.14.6. If you’re still having problems downloading macOS Mojave, try to find the partially-downloaded macOS 10.14 files and a file named ‘Install macOS 10.14’ on your hard drive. I still don't understand, though, why I cannot get this installer file directly from the App Store, like I've ALWAYS been able to do. Use the Finder menu to search for the Install MacOS 10.15 file and delete that file, reboot your system, and try and re-download the necessary files from the Mac App Store. I'm hoping that works (I expect it to).Īppreciate your assistance. I'm going to do a fresh, clean installation of OS 10.15.1, using that installer file, onto my external Samsung 860 EVO 500 gig SSD, and then will migrate/copy needed files, folders, settings, etc. Logging back into the App Store can sometimes fix issues with Big Sur not downloading correctly. Log out of the App Store and log back in. In this case, it was in my downloads folder. If macOS Big Sur has only partially downloaded before failing, look for the Install macOS 11 file on your hard drive, delete it then try downloading it again. I guess the only other "surprise" is that previously, whenever one downloaded the full OS version, that installation file would wind up inside the Applications folder. It downloaded Catalina V10.15.1.03, which is (I'm assuming) the most recent, stable, non-beta version. Given that it was a "patcher", I was definitely reluctant to double click on the resulting file. Initially, after downloading the "patcher", there were no instructions on what to do next. I'll see what it says.Ĭlick to expand.OK, that was helpful. I can try it with my external SSD which I have OS 10.15.1 installed on.
