拥有MacBook的最大好处是定期更新 macOS，使系统更高效。这些更新改进了安全补丁并引入了高级功能，让用户与更新的技术保持联系。但是，有时您可能会在更新最新的 macOS 时遇到一些问题，例如Mac卡在加载栏上或 Mac^{(bar or Mac)}卡在Apple 标志^{(Apple logo)}上。尽管如此，本文将解释解决 Mac 软件更新卡住安装问题的方法。^{(fix Mac software update stuck installing issue.)}

如何修复 Mac 软件更新卡住安装 
^{(How to Fix Mac Software Update stuck installing  )}

当更新过程以某种方式中断时，您的MacBook不会更新到最新的macOS 版本。^{(macOS version)}然后，您可能会发现您的Mac 卡^{(Mac stuck)}在加载栏上或 Mac^{(bar or Mac)}卡在Apple 标志^{(Apple logo)}上。此中断的一些可能原因如下：

• 电池问题^{(Battery issues)}：如果您的MacBook未正确充电，安装程序可能无法下载，因为您的笔记本电脑可能会在中途关闭。
• 存储空间不足： ^{(Lack of Storage)}Mac 软件^{(Mac software)}更新卡住安装^{(stuck installing)}的另一个原因是系统上的空间可能比更新所需的空间少。
• Internet 问题：始终建议在^{(Internet Issues)}Wi-Fi 网络^{(Wi-Fi network)}流量较少的晚上下载新更新。此时苹果^(Apple)服务器也不拥挤，可以快速下载最新版本。
• 内核恐慌^{(Kernel Panic)}：这是一个非常常见的问题，您的计算机可能会陷入启动和崩溃^{(booting and crashing)}的循环中。如果笔记本电脑无法正常启动，操作系统^{(operating system)}将无法成功更新。如果您的驱动程序已过时和/或与您的插件冲突，则会发生这种情况，从而导致Mac 卡^{(Mac stuck)}在Apple 徽标上和 Mac^{(Apple logo and Mac)}卡在加载栏错误上。

既然您已经了解了Mac^(Mac)无法更新到最新 macOS的几个原因，那么让我们来看看如何更新 macOS。

如何更新 macOS？^{(How to Update macOS?)}

您可以检查^{(check for available updates)}Mac 设备上的可用更新，如下所示：

1. 单击Apple 菜单^{(Apple menu.)}中的系统偏好设置。^{(System Preferences )}

2. 在这里，单击软件更新^{(Software Update)}，如图所示。

Fix Mac Software Update Stuck Installing

The best part about owning a MacBook is the regular macОS updatеs that make the system more efficient. These updateѕ іmprove the security patches and bring in advanced features, keeрing the user in toυch with newer teсhnology. However, sometіmes you maу face some issues updatіng the latest macOS such aѕ Mac ѕtuck on the loading bar or Mac stuck on Apрle logo. Nevertheless, this article will explaіn ways to fix Mac software update stuck installing issue.

How to Fix Mac Software Update stuck installing 

Your MacBook won’t update to the latest macOS version when the update process gets interrupted, somehow. Then, you might find your Mac stuck on loading bar or Mac stuck on Apple logo. Some possible causes for this interruption are as follows:

• Battery issues: If your MacBook is not charged properly, the installer might not get downloaded as your laptop may switch off midway.
• Lack of Storage: Another reason why Mac software update stuck installing is that there might be lesser space on your system than what is required for the update.
• Internet Issues: It is always recommended to download a new update at night, when there is less traffic on the Wi-Fi network. At this time, the Apple servers are also not crowded, and you can quickly download the latest version.
• Kernel Panic: This is a very common problem where your computer may get stuck in a loop of booting and crashing. If the laptop does not boot properly, the operating system won’t get updated successfully. It happens if your drivers are outdated and/or keep conflicting with your plug-ins, causing Mac stuck on Apple logo and Mac stuck on loading bar errors.

Now that you know about a few reasons why your Mac won’t update to the latest macOS, let us take a look at how to update macOS.

How to Update macOS?

You can check for available updates on your Mac device as follows:

1. Click on the System Preferences in the Apple menu.

2. Here, click on Software Update, as depicted.

3. Select Update Now, as shown.

Note: If your Mac device is older than five years or more, it is probably best to leave it with the current OS and not overburden the system with a fresh update.

How to Check macOS Compatibility?

It is quite evident from the heading itself that the update you are trying to install should be compatible with the device model you are using for it to run properly. Here’s how you can check as well as download it from the App store:

1. Launch the App Store on your device.

2. Search for the relevant update, for example, Big Sur or Sierra.

3. Scroll down and click on Compatibility to check for it

4A. If you get this message: Works on your Mac, the said update is compatible with your Mac device. Click on Get to begin the installation.

4B. If the desired update isn’t compatible then, it is useless trying to download it as it can cause your device to crash. Or, your Mac stuck on loading bar or Mac stuck on Apple logo issue might appear.

Method 1: Try Installing After Some Time

This might sound like a vague idea, but giving some time to the system to fix its issues might solve Mac software update stuck installing issue. When you use your computer for a significant amount of time, background applications keep draining your battery and keep using network bandwidth. Once these get disabled, your macOS may update normally. Also, if there are issues from the Apple server end, it will be resolved as well. Therefore, we recommend you to wait 24 to 48 hours before attempting to install the latest macOS once again.

Method 2: Clear Storage Space

Installing new updates usually entails large storage space being taken up on your device. Thus, it is essential to ensure your system has the requisite space to download and install a new update. Here’s how to check for storage space on your Mac:

1. Click on the Apple menu on your home screen.

2. Click About This Mac, as shown.

3. Navigate to Storage, as depicted below.

4. If your Mac does not have enough storage space for an OS update, make sure to free up space by removing unwanted, unnecessary content.

Method 3: Ensure Internet Connectivity

You must have access to a strong, stable internet connection with good speed for macOS updates. Losing internet connectivity halfway through the update process could lead to Kernel panic. You can check the speed of your internet through speedtest webpage. If the test shows your internet to be slow, then restart your router to fix the issue. If the problem persists, contact your internet service provider.

Method 4: Restart your Mac

The easiest way to troubleshoot the Mac software update stuck installing issue is by restarting your device.

Note: Sometimes, updating the latest macOS requires a lot of time. So, it may seem stuck, but in reality, the computer is installing the new update. Any hindrance in the installation process may lead to the Kernel error as described earlier. Hence, it is wise to let the computer update all night before rebooting it.

Now, if you see that your updating window has been stuck i.e. Mac stuck on Apple logo or Mac stuck on loading bar, try this:

1. Press the power button and hold it for 10 seconds.

2. Then, wait for the computer to restart.

3. Begin the update once again.

Method 5: Remove External Devices

Being connected to external hardware such as hard drives, USB, etc., can cause Mac software update stuck installing issue. Hence, disconnect all unrequired external hardware before attempting to update it to the latest version.

Method 6: Put Date and Time to Set Automatically

While trying to update your macOS to the latest version, you may receive an error notification stating Update not found. This can be due to incorrect date and time settings on your device. In this case, follow the given steps:

1. Click on the Apple icon at the top left corner of your screen. 

2. The Apple Menu will now appear.

3. Select System Preferences > Date and Time. 

4. Check the box titled Set date and time automatically, as highlighted below.

6. Click on Software, as shown.

7. Here, you will see Safe under the Boot Mode.

Note: If you do not see Safe under the Boot Mode, then follow the steps from the start again.

Once your Mac is in Safe mode, you can try installing the update once again.

Method 8: Boot Mac in Recovery Mode

If none of the above-mentioned methods works for you, then try reinstalling the update in Recovery Mode. Updating your operating system in the recovery mode does two things:

• It makes sure that none of your files gets lost during the chaotic download.
