Sorry Dan, altering the date via terminal was a lost of time. It didn't work for me. What did work was using a bootable usb. In a friend's Mac, download the desired OS installer (High Sierra in my case for my MacBook Pro Late 2011 - google 'How to Download a Full macOS High Sierra Installer App') and create the bootable USB, HDD or even SSD with Disk Creator (2 steps very friendly freeware. Shut down your Mac. Power your Mac back up. Immediately press and hold these four keys: Option + Command + P + R. Make sure to hold the keys for at least 20 seconds.

What Should do Before Upgrading to macOS Big Sur?

Although the every new macOS upgrade comes with certain exciting features, you need to know if your Mac computer can safely be updated (take Big Sur as an example). If you pay no attention to the details, macOS Big Sur update problems come with you for sure, probably your Mac update stuck or Mac failed update won't boot. Here are some of the things that you should look for before you upgrade to the new update.

  1. An external drive partitioned (using Disk Utility) with a GUID partition map, and formatted Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) 4. From your working Mac (eg. Running 10.6.8 or higher installed), run the 'Install OS X Mavericks' app and make sure to point it at your external drive. When the Mac reboots, it should set your external drive as the boot.
  2. I have a late 2012 Mac mini, took a few mins to download the 8gb file. From there it took almost 10 hours (overnight) of black screens and estimated time remaining. Finally in the morning I got to a log in screen with Catalina in the background, typed my password in and its been on a spinning wheel for about 30 minutes so far.

  2. If any updates are available, click the Update Now button to install them. Or click “More info” to see details about each update and select specific updates to install. You might be asked to enter your administrator password.
  3. When Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, the installed version of macOS and all of its apps are also up to date. That includes Safari, Music, Photos, Books, Messages, Mail, Calendar, and FaceTime.
  4. To automatically install future updates, including for apps that you got from the App Store, select “Automatically keep my Mac up to date.” Your Mac will notify you when updates require it to restart, so you can always choose to install those later.
