Catalina macOS is currently in beta version for developers but also for users who want to test the future operating system, what will be officially launched this fall by Apple.

We tested Macos Catalina Beta on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012, and everything went unexpectedly well, until a UPDATE OF MACOS. Following the Required Restore by UPDATE, MacBook was stuck with a screen that informs that the version of macos cannot be installed.

The only option given in the information screen, which unfortunately does not solve anything, is the button on the screen "Restart“.

Possible causes and how we solve the error: Macos Could Not Be Installed On Your Computer

Most of the time, "macOS could not be installed on your computer"It is given for two causes:

  1. The MacOS installation or update package has been downloaded with errors, and the installation cannot be done correctly.
  2. System file permits have been modified in an inadequate way.

In this situation, when the system can no longer be accessed at all, the only option is to use the "resuscitation" tools or to reinstate zero the operating system. Everything is indicated after the disk is cleaned of everything. Formatted. Of course, before you start this step, you need to have a data backup.

How we solve the error: Macos Could Not Be Installed On Your Computer

In screen-ul “macOS could not be installed on your computer"Click on" Restart ", then as Mac closes, hold the keys"Command + R". In this way you will access the tools"Recovery“.

From "Recovery Mode"Select"Disk Utility", Where you go to the sidebar icon (left top) and select"Show All Devices“.
After selecting "Show All Devices", The physical disk will be visible above the partitions. Select the physical disk, then click on Erase.

Careful! All disk data will be set.

Choose as a format: "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and wait for the process of deletion and format.

Close "Disk Utility" and select a new installation of the operating system. Everything should go without problems.

We did this test with a MacBook Pro 13-inch, MID 2012 with Macos Catalina Beta 2.
