Try Again Later or Check the Full Installer
Apple’s servers may be overloaded due to a large number of users trying to update their Macs at the same time. As you already know, slow downloads can corrupt the update installer. One way to deal with this issue is to simply try again later.
Alternatively, navigate to your Applications folder, locate and select the Install macOS [12].appand check if you have the full installer. For example, if you’re trying to install Big Sur, look for Install macOS Big Sur.app.
Free up Some Space
This error message may also indicate that your Mac doesn’t have enough space to save the update files. Remove all the files and apps you no longer need or back up your data to an external hard drive.
Turn off your Mac and press and hold the Optionbutton before turning the device back on.
In just a few seconds, the Startup Manager should display two options: Select Mac HD and Log Into Your Wifi.
Follow the on-screen instructions, and log back to the Home Screen.
Delete or back up your data and check if you can update your Mac.
Reinstall macOS
