r/RobloxHelp on Reddit: Unable to download/update Roblox on iMac (macOS Catalina 10.15.7)
March 15, 2025 -

I've had this device for a while now but and never had this problem occur until today when I decide I want to play Roblox after a hot minute of keeping this iMac idle and not in use.

First thing I did was update my iMac to the version listed in the title; however, when I attempt to open up Roblox it simply says "Unable to download: Roblox was not able to update".

I've tried the following:

- Updating the iMac to its most recent version (10.15.7)

- Uninstalling Roblox Player (I cannot reinstall it, the iMac gives me the same warning, "Unable to download: Roblox was not able to update)

- Shutting the device down and powering it back up.

- Researching other potential fixes but none of them were able to aid me.

Device Specs:

- NVIDIA GeForce 680MX 2 GB (GPU)

- 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (RAM)

- 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 (CPU)

I've played on this device before and it ran games flawlessly and after prolonged inactivity (device not being used) this is the first time I've ever encountered this issue.

How to Fix Roblox Not Updating or Downloading on Your Mac - Make Tech Easier
February 8, 2024 - Sometimes Roblox won’t update because the problem is actually with the game’s servers. You can easily check the Roblox status website to see if any Roblox services are offline or any errors have been reported. If there is an error that could affect updates, wait until the board shows all green on the site and try again. If your Mac doesn’t have enough free storage to temporarily unpack the update or fresh install in Roblox, the operation will fail.
