Apple, it seems that the M2 Macs have problems doing the updates. I have had the error message below since the 13.4. It only happens on my M2, the Intel no issue.

Failed to download & prepare update: Error Domain=SUOSUErrorDomain Code=201 "Failed to personalize the software update. Please try again.

I get this whether I use the full installer, the update, the command line update etc.

I have 32GB RAM, 300 GB Disk so environment is not the issue.

There is something goofy with the M2 and these recent updates.

Maybe, although not many have reported the issue. In any case, 13.5 has a few bugs so you might want to hold off until the next update. In the meantime, feel free to send Apple feedback.

I have experienced no delays or other forms of disappointment when obtaining released Apple updates to my M2 Mac mini Pro running any version of Ventura (now 13.5). I am using a 270 Mbps Comcast feed into a Motorola MB8611 DOCSIS 3.1 2.5Gb cable modem, and that into a Synology RT6600ax router providing a Wi-Fi 6 SSID to the mini.

If this were an M2 architecture issue, we all would be suffering… and there may be interim Internet mischief between you and the Apple servers that you have no control over.

You haven't stated your type of Internet connection, but if it is via Cellular hotspot, or not, there may be some issues with your ISP that are in need of pursuit.

I don't know why it is happening, but I am able to install it smoothly in MacBook M2 Pro.

Very strange, indeed!

I've had no issues with my 15" M2 MacBook Air regarding updates...and I just updated to MacOS 13.5 a couple hours ago.
