Bite the Bullet: How to Download the New Update for Apple Macs

As an Apple user running Monterey on my system, I've recently started backing up my files to iCloud. However, I encountered a peculiar issue that wouldn't resolve despite trying various troubleshooting methods. My problem was similar to many others who have struggled with updating their Macs.

Before I dive into the solution, let me walk you through the steps I took to try and fix the issue. I checked for updates, restarted my computer, and ensured Xcode was up-to-date. Unfortunately, even after updating Xcode, the problem persisted. It seemed like a reinstall wouldn't fix it either.

After some research, I discovered that the Software section of System Information lists the Boot Mode as 'Safe' instead of 'Normal' when you're started in safe mode. This is because your Mac performs a directory check of your startup disk as part of safe mode. To check if you're running in safe mode, use System Information.

To get out of safe mode and back to normal booting, release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. After releasing the Shift key, it may take longer than usual for your Mac to reach the login screen or desktop.

Alternatively, if you're experiencing issues with updates, try booting into Safe Mode or create a new temporary admin account and update from there. This might help resolve any software-related issues that are preventing the update.

To start up in safe mode, follow these steps:

1. Immediately after hearing the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.

2. Continue holding the Shift key until you see the login screen or your desktop appears.

By following these simple steps, I was able to resolve the issue and successfully update my Mac. If you're experiencing similar problems, give these methods a try to bite the bullet and download the new update for Apple.
