You have to download it from the App Store. There ist no Update.

FFS so several people on here have BS'd then

 

[Lobwedgephil]

I just started, download is incredible slow. Guess I should have waited based on everyones failing here so far.

 

[UBS28]

I got the "installation failed" message after the download completed.

Now you got to start all over again. Good luck next time.

 

[Toonbay]

Message now saying I have to have M1 chip to download 😂

 

[Jamalien]

Have no plan to actually install this, I'm just gonna let it download over and over to help prolong the anarchy

 

[albeedelacruz]

yes it should be called Big Turd

Word

 

[UBS28]

My MacBook Pro with AS is so fast, it already has Big Sur.

 

[Rafterman]

I've quit for today. Screw this.

That's not how internet recovery works....it installs the latest version of macOS that is currently installed on your Mac. If you upgrade to Big Sur and then run internet recovery, you should, in theory, be able to reinstall Big Sur.

What if you have no OS on your drive? Won’t you then get the most recent OS version to install?

I just got the installation failed message after downloading 12.18GB. And when I try to start again, it shows me the installation error message again. Had to restart the mini, in order to start the download again.

 

[bryonbnm]

iCloud services are now down ... must have crashed all the servers!

 

[anshuvorty]

Damn it! Installed failed after 75%! Grr....

 

[nylon]

Got to 4.5GB download....failed.....restarted at 2GB.....got to 9.5GB....failed.....restarted at 2.5GB....now back up to 5.3GB.

Tedious to say the least.

 

[AnTaR3s]

What I find weird is that the software update menu shows progress (already up to 12 GB once, then failed), but I actually only downloaded 2.5GB in the last hour (as listed with iStat).

 

[almostinsane]

Thanks, I just saw that. Appreciate it!

Your SN isnt your social security number. Literally nothing can happen if you show your serial online. What is someone going to do, submit a warranty repair request for your machine somehow?

 

[Toonbay]

Complete failure now, won't even start again, Are apple doing reset. Timmy opening the pipes

Message now saying I have to have M1 chip to download 😂

Well, this RC2 / Final version is surprising me. I notice that it is faster than any previous version

Did it change your CPU to an Arm one. 🥳

Hehe...

 

[anthony13]

Now it won't even let me try. Just repeatedly says 'Fail' upon starting the process.

 

[gluckett]

Well, at least now it fails instantly for me instead of waiting until 4,5,6 GB in...

 

[almostinsane]

A bumper case.

your downloading it wrong

 

[BigMcGuire]

Just errored out for the 4th time. Now it errors out instantly when clicking: Upgrade Now -- for my wife and I.

 

[YSP]

Haha, it's 503 now, "service unavailable".

Ditto.
