macOS Tahoe Full Installer Database. Download Directly from Apple!

Download Tahoe Full Installer – Public & Beta Versions.

This database will contain download links for macOS Tahoe full Installer pkg files (InstallAssistant.pkg). This file is the same full installer that you would download directly from the App Store for Intel and Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4 Mac Computers. The InstallAssistant.pkg is stored on Apple’s servers and contains the full “Install macOS.app”. Once downloaded, all you need to do is install the pkg and the full installer of macOS will be in your applications folder. This change was made when Apple revised the full installer for Big Sur. The InstallAssistant.pkg is not available for Catalina or Mojave.

macOS Upgrade to Big Sur Failed! Stuck Progress Bar fix & Prevention!

MrMacintosh.com - macOS Mojave or Catalina to Big Sur Upgrade Progress Bar Stuck Fix.
macOS Mojave or Catalina to Big Sur Upgrade Progress Bar Stuck Fix.

MacOS Big Sur currently has an upgrade issue. In certain situations, the upgrade will fail and then get stuck with a neverending progress bar.

UPDATED 12/13/21

UPDATE! This issue is fixed in both the Monterey 12.1 and Big Sur 11.6.2 Full installer.

I’ll start with a quick summary of the macOS stuck progress bar situation.

If you are upgrading from macOS High Sierra, Mojave, or Catalina to Big Sur your upgrade could fail if it matches a very particular condition.

If folders in multiple directories in the location below

/private/var/folders/*/*/C/com.apple.metadata.mdworker

have more than 20,000 files your upgrade could fail.

In some situations users have reported 500,000 – 2,000,000 files!!!

This is the reason why the problem could never be reproduced.

If you build a fresh system the file counts for spotlight will be very low. You might have 20-400 entries. This would allow the upgrad to finish properly.

Table of contents

  1. Different situations. The macOS stuck progress bar issue has many different situations.
  2. How can I check how many mdworker files my system has before an upgrade.
  3. I have more than 20,000 files. How do I clear them out before the upgrade?
  4. The files have been deleted! Now what?
  5. What if you booted your failed Mac into safe mode after having the issue?
  6. Will Apple fix this problem?
  7. Final Thoughts
  8. Thank you!

Apple just dropped the new macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 Update. Let’s find out what’s new in this update!

The only information that we have so far is this line from the update text.

“macOS 11.5.2 includes bug fixes for your Mac.”

UPDATE: Apple has updated the security updates page.

macOS Big Sur 11.5.2
This update has no published CVE entries.

The update must be related to an OS level fix.

I’m looking into the update now so we can figure out what it actually fixes.

UPDATE: Howard Oakley found that the build version of Safari increased from 16611.3.10.1.3 to 16611.3.10.1.6. He also noted a few version number changes to private frameworks.

UPDATED 07/28/21

Apple just dropped macOS Monterey Beta 4, let’s jump in and find out what’s new!

Apple initially mentioned in the Beta 4 patch notes that Universal Control was available. The reference in the patch notes has been removed! I can confirm this as in Beta 4 the Advanced Button was removed from the display preferences pane.

Live Text is also now available for all Macs that support macOS Monterey. Previously this was an M1 Monterey only feature.

Monterey Beta 4 is now available as a software update, and IPSW M1 restore file. The Full installer is not available yet.
