Resolving Issues with Installing Rosetta on Mac: Network Connection and Update Check Problems

Resolving Issues with Installing Rosetta on Mac: Network Connection and Update Check Problems

The reason for “Unable to connect to the Apple Software Update server” took a long time to resolve. It is recommended to try the following steps in order:

1. Automatically obtain time and time zone

2. Change network

3. Modify DNS

4. Modify the hosts file

I resolved the issue by modifying the hosts file; the other steps are relatively simple and will not be detailed here.

Method to modify the hosts file:

Step 1: Open Terminal and enter the following command sudo nano /private/etc/hostsEnter your user passwordLocate the line containing apple.comResolving Issues with Installing Rosetta on Mac: Network Connection and Update Check ProblemsResolving Issues with Installing Rosetta on Mac: Network Connection and Update Check ProblemsPress control-O to save the hosts file, then press Enter, and finally press control-X to exit back to the terminal.Step 2: In the terminal, enter /usr/sbin/softwareupdate –install-rosetta –agree-to-license

Please enter your computer’s boot password, and after entering, press the “Enter” key (the password will not be visible while typing).
