I cannot update my OS. I 've a notebook Mac Book Air with Macintosh HD OS. I failed to update it for essential apps
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13
RE: "I cannot update my OS."
By default, the App Store hides old versions of macOS (like Monterey – the latest version your machine can run). To get those from the App Store, you need to go through the links in the Apple Support article.
RE: " I 've a notebook Mac Book Air with Macintosh HD OS"
FYI – "Macintosh HD" is not the name of the operating system. It's just the default name of the internal drive. These days, it is a bit of a misnomer (since Macs now use internal SSDs instead of internal HDs), but one that hangs on simply because nobody has bothered to change it.

Is it on this list? If not, it can't run Ventura which is the OS after Monterey: macOS Ventura is compatible with these computers - Apple Support
But before you can do that, you have to ID your Mac ... see John Galt's posted links.
You failed to ID your Mac by year in your post so we can only give general instructions.
Did you check to see if your Mac can run an OS newer than Monterey? If so, what did it say?
Your post is still void of necessary details.

Those are all the answers there are, and there are no more.
If you would like more assistance, you need to start by describing exactly what failed. You might also try identifying your exact model Mac, the macOS version it is running, and the version you would like to install.
Let Writing an effective Apple Support Communities Question - Apple Community guide you in responding with information others can use to help you.
OK...so you're running MacOS High Sierra and want to update your MacOS.
The latest MacOS you can run, based on the info you provided, is Monterey.
If you look at John Galt's response, I'd choose the second option, since apparently Software Update isn't showing you any update.
You said you tried to update your MacOS but it failed. What failed? Which MacOS were you trying to install?

MacOS High Sierra, MacBook Air 13 inch 2017
Thank you so much, John Galt! Thank you all! Monterey was the answer.
I can not update my OS . I have a notebook Mac Book air with Macintosh HD operating system. I tried to update it in order to download essential apps. But I failed. How can I update it?
