Issues downloading MacOS Monterey

Trying to download MacOS Monterey the status bar doesn't reach the end but it says that all the data is download. I've tried restarting my Mac and downloading it again but the same happens. It's been like this for over an hour and nothing changes. I'd appreciate some help, thanks.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

Shutdown by an means including the Power Button.


Restart in Safe Mode . This my or may not allow the installation to precede and install the upgrade.


Safe mode may help you resolve or isolate problems that you’re having with your Mac.

When you start up in safe mode, your Mac prevents some software, such as startup items, from loading, and it performs a check of your startup disk. Your Mac may take longer to start up because of the check.

If you have the full installer it will be in your Applications folder "Install macOS Montery.app"


whether it launches automatically or not. You can launch it like any other application.

Once it runs it is automatiaclly removed from Applications.
