Hi guys! I bought a used 2020 MacBook Air today. The last update it had was 12.7.6 and will not allow me to update it to 15.4. I have tried using safe mode, recovery mode, restarting it, holding down certain buttons, etc. I’ve been on chat with apple for a few hours now and cannot seem to get this thing to update. It will go through the entire process and take me right back to the software update screen. It does not throw any codes. PLEASE help!!

My MacBook Air M3 shipped with MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1 and everything was smooth until I decided to update do MacOS Sequoia 15.4. I cannot transfer my Nintendo Switch games through Android Transfer Files, the app crashes and closes. I have created a USB media installer of 14.4.1 , formatted the Mac and tried to install it but when It finishes it shows 14.5.7 😭 I have tried to turn off my router while updating through USB stick to prevent it from updating and installation fails. Does anyone has any tips?

I need help with my mac. It’s a MacBook Air from 2019 and when I opened my mac in class this morning it was updating. 4 hours later when I came home, nothing had changed, so I tried to turn off my MacBook to see if it would stop (because I have work to do and I desperately need to use it). It turned off, however, when it turned back on it is not stuck in this loop of loading a little bit with the Apple logo, then shutting down again, and then it starts updating again with the Apple logo, but then shutting down again. This just goes on and on and on and nothing changes. Please help, idk what to do!

I tried updating my laptop last night, but the update failed. I restarted my laptop and ran the update again this morning. Now, it's overheating just from logging in or opening Safari. I’ve restarted it, but it’s still much slower than before the update. Apps take forever to open, and it starts heating up before I even start doing anything.

My MacBook is stuck in a update loop every time I update it,wait a few hours to do its thing when it turns back on this window pops up and the computer says it’s ready to update again! I’ve updated it 6 times already and it keeps happening. I recently got the screen fixed if that means anything.

Hi, I have a macbook air 2018 that has this problem updating to Mac Os Sonoma 14.7.5. I already tried reinstalling the software from recovery (without deleting data), reset NVRAM and disconnecting the battery. Also tried S.O.S form Utility disk without success. I know it’s not a big deal not updating, but I don’t know why doesn’t need to work. Thanks

So I’ve noticed whenever a new update is nearing or is available my laptop decides to have issues with my home wifi. Normally it would show the name and the little lock at the other end to indicate it needs a password… well when my laptop needs updated the lock disappears and it refuses to connect to the internet. I’ve reset my router multiple times and it’s not my router. Why does my laptop do this??? I’ve had to connect to my phone hotspot just to download the new update and be able to use my wifi on my laptop. And my phone connects to the wifi no problem so it’s not my internet. It HAS to be my laptop.

Anyone experiencing this bug when update is downloaded system restart and nothing happens? Update is still available in settings. Any fix for that?

After updating to the recent MacOS, my Mac seems to have forgotten my password so I had to change it? It took me a long time to finally have it accept the new password. Now my Touch ID needed to be reset and I got a pop up saying my Apple ID was no longer synced (needed to relog in again) now overall the laptop is quite sluggish and the fans are going crazy.
