when downloading Monterey update 12.5.1, I get an error saying download failed at the very end of the download just when it's about to install. I have 1tg of memory capacity left so I doubt that that is the issue. Has anyone solved this problem please advise thanks
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 12.2
I've had better luck from the Safe Mode because I evidently have some 3rd party software that interferes with the installation so try the following:
#1 - boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3-5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
#2 - go to the System/Software Update preference pane and begin the download.
#3 - run the installer from the Safe Mode.

A - Is this is a Typo error " when downloading Monterey update 12.5.1 "?
A - If not, this is no place to for Beta Testers
thanks, I thought it was an important update for me, so I googled the update and says fixes bug for game in safari or something to that effect. i'm not going to sweat it thanks for replying though that was kind of you.
