Thoroughly impressed with macOS Sierra, most of my friends rushed to install it on their Mac. Unfortunately, some folks couldn’t download the macOS as it got stuck on the waiting error. Having encountered the download stuck on the waiting issue a few times before, I was able to troubleshoot it without any difficulty.

Have you also run into the same issue? Give these simple tricks a try to resolve it.

How to Fix macOS Download Stuck on Waiting Issue

Solution #1

Step #1. First off, you have to get rid of the partly downloaded macOS Sierra file from the applications folder.

Step #2. Make sure to remove the icon from Launchpad as well.

Step #3. Now, restart your Mac. (Apple menu → Restart)

Step #4. Now, try to download the latest macOS version again.

Solution #2

Step #2. Next, open Terminal.

If Mac App Store shows “macOS Sierra is up to date” and the button to download the update is missing–even though you are yet to download and install the public version of the newest version of macOS, you may likely have one of the betas or GM builds on your Mac.
