So the allocation itself should not fail (on Mac OS which in contrary to iOS can swap memory out). – Nikolai Ruhe Mar 7 '11 at 13:30 @Nikolai The allocation could fail if the OS limits the number of pages it will let the application use at a time, so if you try to allocate a lot of memory before other memory has a chance to be paged out, it. The Macintosh project began in 1979 when Jef Raskin, an Apple employee, envisioned an easy-to-use, low-cost computer for the average consumer.He wanted to name the computer after his favorite type of apple, the McIntosh, but the spelling was changed to 'Macintosh' for legal reasons as the original was the same spelling as that used by McIntosh Laboratory, Inc., an audio equipment.
The installer performs a cursory verification of the Mac's storage before it proceeds with the installation. If it detects a file system inconsistency, it's not a good idea to install an upgrade.
The proper corrective action is to address the failure by replacing the affected components. It's not particularly expensive or difficult to replace a portable Mac's hard disk drive. Short of that, you can boot Recovery mode and use Disk Utility's First Aid feature to 'repair' the hard disk drive. If it is successful, your first task should be to create a backup, if you did not already do that. Then, replace the hard disk drive as soon as possible.
Given a hard disk drive that has failed and is subsequently 'repaired' with Disk Utility, you could proceed with the macOS upgrade, but I recommend you don't. It's certain to fail again.
