Download problem with macOS Big Sur 11.1 Update - macos-big-sur

I have tried several times (using different WiFi networks) to download update macOS Big Sur 11.1 but every time download failed. I have received the same message:
Download failed
An error occurred while downloading the selected updates. Please check your internet connection and try again.
I am using MacBook Air (M1, 2020) with macOS Big Sur Version 11.0.1

Had the same problem. It's probably less space on the drive. Deleting some files and increase space on drive helped me.

macOS Android Studio for M1 chip crashing immediately

All I've done is unpack the zip, and when I try to open Android Studio, it crashes immediately. I see the icon in the dock for two seconds tops, before it crashes.
I also tried using the latest Canary build and have the same results.
I checked and apparently JDK comes bundled with it, so I don't need that installed in advance.
Am definitely using the M1 / ARM build for macOS running macOS Monterey Beta.
The traceback error is incredibly long and I am unable to pin where the issue lies, and I'm not sure that I should really post the entire thing. Where I am confused is that this is a relatively new Macbook Air on the M1 chip with hardly anything installed on it, so I don't understand what the conflict is or where to begin here...
Fixed by upgrading to the latest beta.

GitKraken is very slow since macOS Big Sur update

Since I upgraded to Big Sur, everything seems really slow on Gitkraken (checkout, pull/push, commits...)
I tried reinstalling it but it didn't change.
Edit Feb 16 2022:
Axosoft released 8.3 version of Gitkraken which seems to fix the issue:
Mac users will get optimal performance without needing to run the 'Big Sur workaround' from a terminal, which had been required to fix the partial signature issue introduced in macOS Big Sur.
Previous answer:
I got an answer from their support, saying I have to run
codesign --remove-signature /Applications/GitKraken.app/Contents/Frameworks/GitKraken\ Helper\ \(Renderer\).app
And everything is now working smoothly again. Yay!
Here is their full answer:
Thank you for using GitKraken! This is currently a known issue with the new Mac Big Sur OS.
As a workaround, consider running the following command in your terminal:
codesign --remove-signature /Applications/GitKraken.app/Contents/Frameworks/GitKraken\ Helper\ (Renderer).app
This temporary workaround removes the GitKraken Signature (making it a partially-signed app) which means if you update GitKraken you will need to do this again. However, this should help with the performance for now while we wait for Apple to address this issue.

Appcelerator Studio is very slow when scroll

Appcelerator Studio, build: 4.7.1.201609100950
macOS Sierra 10.12
iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015)
Java 8
Node.js 4.4.7
npm 2.15.8
Titanium CLI 5.0.9
I've tried (many times) to reinstall the editor, but without solving the problem. The editor is really really slow when scroll (after macOS Sierra update). It's impossible to use it without going crazy. I use Appcelerator Studio for many years and i have never had these problems.
There are other external components that could upgrade / reinstall? (Java.. etc etc)
Thanks
Update
In addition to the slowdown, the editor does not properly recognize the file format.
I had this slow down issue with appcelerator Studio as well (some of my colleagues swear by using Atom editor)... this happens with Appcelerator when you have one .js file that is huge (thousands of lines).
Ideally, split your js file into seperate commonJS files and coll them into the original js file with require('filejs')
I also had this problem for almost 1 month and I went completely crazy one day due to Studio slow-ness.
I tried complete fresh installation of Appc & all of its components 2-3 times, but no luck.
Then on one day, it was not working even like previous day, so I decided to completely format my MacintoshHD and re-install the macOS Sierra because I noticed that some other normal apps like Skype & Email were also started working slowly. So I got the idea that it's related to macOS Sierra update.
Very Important Note (take system backup first)
Before installing OS, I took backup in external hard-drive and then I ran the First Aid (Disk Utility Tool) on MacintoshHD and found that there were some corruptions in it, so I fixed them but then something really crazy & out of this world happened with my system - Kernel Panic and my system did not start-up for 3 hours of hectic try.
So the last solution was to format the Macintosh HD & install the OS again. The best way to do this is to make a bootable pen-drive having macOS Sierra in it and then install using it.
Another way (if you have very good speed LAN) is to connect your system to Apple server and let it install latest OS from online. But it will download the whole OS & other required files (of at least 5GB size).
There are many online tutorials on how to install macOS Sierra again after such creepy issues.
FYI: I did re-installation of macOS Sierra last week & now everything is working like it is supposed to work on a Mac machine (just buttery smooth.).

Xcode failed to install

I am trying to install Xcode 4.2 on my Mac system having OS version 10.6.8.
Actually, I removed the Xcode from the system and tried to reinstall it.
I quit iTunes before installing it, and I have enough free space on disc (111 GB). Below is a screenshot of the error. What should I do?
Set your system time to 1st January 2012 or earlier (but not too early), as the certificate that signed the package has expired.
I had the same error message. In my case, it was solved by updating the OS software. There was an update waiting for "Apple installations software". After the update, Xcode installed perfectly well.
I found out I could download the installer directly from Apple instead of through the app store, and that the error described by the accepted answer could also be circumvented by installing the Mobile Development Framework manually.
See forum post Problems installing Xcode on Lion for more details.
I had the same trouble on Mac OS 10.8.5 when installing Xcode 4.4.1, Xcode 5.1.1, and Security_Update_2014-005. It turned out that the reason was the same in all these cases: an incompatibility with Vodafone/Huawei UMTS drivers. A workaround in this case is to temporarily move them away, e.g.
mv /System/Library/Extensions/{HuaweiDataCardDriver.kext,Vodafone.kext,VodafoneFilter.kext} ~
Then do the installation/update, and then restore those drivers, e.g.,
mv ~/{HuaweiDataCardDriver.kext,Vodafone.kext,VodafoneFilter.kext} /System/Library/Extensions/

XCode 4.2 not getting installed on my mac

I want to install XCode 4.2 on my mac. I have the dmg, but when I start the installation process, I get the file size as zero kb. Attaching the screen shot of the same:
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be???
The Mac version i am using is 10.7.2....
I have tried changing the install location, but it was of no use.
The installation process takes around 15 mins (although the size is zero kbas is in screen shot) and at the end, I am getting the message "Installation Completed"
EDIT:
For mac OSX version 10.7.2 (Mac OSx Lion), Do I need to download XCode 4.3. The dmg that I have got from one of my friend is titled "xcode_4.2_and_ios_5_sdk_beta_6_for_snow_leopard.dmg". Also, I have tried installing XCode 3.2.6 and it also is experiencing a similar problem.
what have you used for downloading?
The most of download managers downloads damaged files when Internet connection error was occured. The second type of managers stops downloading herein.
Don't use itunes if you can. I advice you to download xcode via torrents because they are protected from these downloading errors. Or at least try to download it via firefox because it stops the downloading instead of masking download erros.
I read the following in the Xcode Release Notes (developer account required) in the Apple developer documentation:
Installation
You can install Xcode 4.2 for Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard only if you have purchased an earlier release of Xcode.
Install or update Xcode through the Purchases or Updates panes.
If you purchased Xcode from the Mac App Store, the Install Xcode app is on the volume on which you installed Xcode.
To install Xcode 4.2 on another volume, you must delete all copies of the Install Xcode app from your file system.
Maybe the first point explains your problem!?
I have downloaded the new dmg of XCode 4.2 from apple developer portal (developement tools). Its XCode_4.2_for_Lion. And it has got installed without any problem.
