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
Just in case, the first trick has not been able to fix the problem, try out this trick.
Step #1. First up, you need to close the “App Store” app.
Step #2. Next, open Terminal.
Step #3. Enter the following command
defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
Step #4. Open “App Store” app again. Next, open “Debug” in the menu item. Then, click on “Show Download Folder.”
Step #5. Open folder “com.apple.appstore” and delete all the files and folders in the “com.apple.appstore” folder.
Step #6. Now, you have to close the “App Store” app again and restart the Mac.
Download Icloud App For Mac
Step #7. Launch the “App Store” app and start the download process all over again.
Backup Mac To Icloud Drive
It should be all right now.
At times, while downloading the macOS, you may receive “An error has occurred” and the download will stop. In this case, the first solution mentioned above will work.
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. Hence, make sure to remove them before trying to download Sierra.

If you own more than one Apple devices (e.g., iPhone, iPad, Mac Pro etc), you can set up iCloud Message Syncing, aka, Messages in iCloud. What this means is that you can use iCloud to keep all of your messages updated and available across devices by using Messages in iCloud. This will even help you save space since attachments (e.g., photos), are stored in iCloud. This feature can be turned on by going to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and then turn on Messages. On your Mac, you can turn this on by clicking Messages > Preferences > iMessage and then enable Messages in iCloud.
I turned this feature on last night for the first time. At first it looked like it is working perfectly. Then I realized that I could not find all of my messages on one of my devices; my iPhone. There was a loading bar that was saying “Downloading Messages from iCloud” (see the image below). And after more than 15 hours, it was still saying the same message. It was stuck. This article explains what I did to resolve this problem.
