So I’ve been hearing a lot about installs taking an absurd amount of time, have those been fixed on beta 5? Or has Apple not gotten to that yet?
I was having this, but couldn't find anyone else having it (admittedly I didn't search here). I just sorted it last week - I signed out of iCloud on my mac and back in and after a restart App Store let me sign in and download updates.
Have the same issue. Current stuck on 35. Did yours ever get to finish updating?
im stuck on “estimated time remaining”
this is my first issue with install. I’m on a MacBook Pro 2018
Absolutely ridiculous. I'm on a 2018MBP and it's been going for 4.5hrs now and still stuck on about 30%.

Same again!
I cannot believe that they didnt fix this! Look I know they say beta this and beta that and dont use on primary machine and all that... but seriously... some of these problems are just absolutely ridiculous.
I have same issue, I cannot paste image from Mac to iPad.
I have reported the bug to Apple.
FYI.
My Mac and iPad are on latest public beta
I’ve tried signing out of iCloud, but didn’t try a restart. I’ll give that a try.
For people who are unable to send feedback to Apple because of frozen OS, you can send feedback on any device with feedback assistant. The only thing missing here is some files from that machine. If Apple ever want those files, collect them and send over. Otherwise don’t need to bother.
1. Think you replied to the wrong person.
2. No need to reformat a drive, I never ever reinstalled OS X/macOS, been on it since Apple released 10.0b.
3. You are wasting your time, an Update is the same as installing fresh and importing all your data.
I realize how frustrated you and many others are but please don't infer that those of us who had no issues and are reporting back that B5 seems pretty stable aren't being thorough - we probably have pre-2018/9 hardware. I'm pretty thorough. I had tons of issues between B1 and B3; B4 was the first build in which the awful iCloud issues seemed pretty minimal but coreaudiod would continue in ever-increasing mem size and CPU usage requiring a reboot and/or iconserviceagentd would run wild requiring the same. I would come back to a Mac which as so dogged down that it wouldn't leave the screensaver for a couple of minutes because of processes running wild. Beyond that, Time Machine would stick at "Preparing backup" for over an hour.
B5 is much improved so far. Time Machine hasn't improved much but it doesn't keep me from working. I have experienced no major issues with MS or Adobe products, the latter of which I use extensively. I don't use hand-off at the moment so I can't speak for how well it works.
Hardware: 2017 13" MBP
I really do feel for those of you experiencing so many issues and perhaps there are so many changes under the hood, the Apple Dev team is having trouble releasing dev builds that suit everyone and size. I'm constantly frustrated that Apple has always treated bugs not as service issues but rather, as though they were political issues and bug reports or coming back and engaging developers as to what they are experiencing might lower stockholder value.
Restarting got him back into the installer, a loop.
You make a lot of assumptions, you don't know his skills, throwing insults on top of it.
Maybe you should do research before you write such a post, like looking at his posts history.
Just one of his posts
Seems like he's a long time Mac user, he knows his stuff.
Again, you're throwing insults at someone without knowledge of how much he (Or she) knows.
first of all, chill, or quit smoking crack. you'll live longer.
second of all, I restarted a few times after it was taking more than an hour - reset PRAM, reset SMC, booted into recovery and verified HD, tried recovery install (failed), so went back to it. you can check my post history if you still think i'm a moron who just sat for 40 hours staring at a screen.
anyway, the moral of the story is that NOTHING seems to alleviate this. i sent a ton of logs thru Feedback but haven't heard anything about it, and it's clearly not fixed, so not sure what else to do at this point but wait.

thank you.
now get off my damn lawn.
Upgraded from 10.14.6 last night on whim, and after a relatively smooth and quick install, I experienced system freezes requiring restart, only after activating the screensaver and walking away. Already fully reverted. Next time, betas!
The above said, on my late 2015 iMac I didn't have any issues with the install, Music, iCloud, accounts, Safari, Mail, Photos, (most) third-party apps like Little Snitch, Deluge, etc. Pretty stable aside from the above, but it could've just been me.

Better would be to apologise instead of deleting content.
Mac runs quite a bit better now, I cleaned the sh.. out of my install, recovered 10's of GB, seems like it's a bad idea to install this if you only have about 15 GB left, you will run into problems on Catalina, there were no built in checks in the first few betas, at least not a lot, I got into problems several times, although I recovered from it
