Mac Os Ventura High Sierra
Rhonda Brazler
I have been having the same issue for the past 24 hours. Spoken to 3 different representatives and the still has not been resolved. I have MacOS High Sierra on my Macbook Air 2017. I am trying to download to the Monterrey software, but my laptop won't even let me install it. It keeps showing Checking "null". Even when I tried installing Big Surr, it doesn't work. Please tell me there is a solution for this!
Same. I've been working on this for 3 days now. 2017 MacBook Air was loaded with Monterey, wiped, then will only successfully re-install High Sierra. Trying to load Big Sur. Haven't tried anything in between.
I have been having this same issue. Rather than try all of the above - open the applications folder, drag and drop Monterey to the trash. Open up the App Store and download Monterey that way. Took me 10 mins!
I got a solution that worked!!!if you are on high sierra or mojave, firsr install catalina by searching catalina installer and you will get a apple site link. Click catalina installer and you will be redirected to app store. Install catalina first and then you can install big sur or monterey without this null error
Save all your data as you will lose it. Use the OPTION-COMMAND-R as soon as you have pressed the start button and before the Apple Logo appears. The 4 option menu will come up and chose restore - it will then do a new installation with the current macOS (Monterey) on your selected volume (usually Macintosh HD) but you can chose any if you have more than one (ideal for test environments).
As I recall, earlier versions of macOS or OS X did not have this constant notification nagging about updating your operating system. And after a bit of reading, it turned out my memory was indeed accurate.

I got sucked into that one when I was offered, and regrettably I accepted, a free upgrade from Snow Leopard to I believe El Capitan. It installed it and my performance went into the toilet. So thinking I had no choice, I did what Apple expected from this so-called free upgrade and that was to buy a new Apple computer. I then found my Snow Leopard OS/X disk and reloaded my old Apple with the Snow Leopard Mac OS/X and voil it worked like brand new. But now I had two Apple computers so I gave the older one with Snow Leopard to my grandson since it was now running fine.
Apple may have won this battle, but they have lost the war (at least with me). I now have a Mac Book Air and an iPhone 6S and once they go to the scrap heap, I will never buy another Apple product EVER. I have also told many people this story and will continue to do so. I think what Apple is doing is morally reprehensible if not worse.
for what it is worth, I have a mid-2011 Mac mini. I updated to high Sierra months ago, but I keep getting reminders to upgrade. I have verified the upgrade worked many times, but it still keeps reminding me. I am at 10.12.6 macOS Sierra.
Solution 1 only removes the upgrade to high os x sierra banner from the app store update screen.
Solution 2 only removes the icon from the spam nag notifications. The notifications are still there.
Does anyone have a working solution?
