When I try to update to the new Mac Os. 14.1.16 it says that my request is timed out what does that mean?
Try it from here, this site uses a different server:

When you send a [communications] request, and it receives no response in a reasonable time, that is called a Time Out.
A time out is generally not an indication that what you seek is impossible, but it may be an indication that conditions in the connection to the server or in the Server itself are too busy to honor your request right now.
Another possibility (although rare) is that the Server Address for MacOS updates has been set to a Server other than the standard Apple software update Server. This is sometimes done in a Corporate network to reduce the number of downloads.
You asked what a timeout was, and that is what I answered. Your question just above is a different question entirely.
One thing that you need is to be sure that the Apple-ID used to download the base version of the software is the same one you are using to try to access the Mac App Store. Otherwise, you get a message that says the update is 'temporarily unavailable' without any indication of what the problem actually is.
The major version that "shipped in the box" with a new Mac should be tied only to your Mac's serial number, not to your Apple-ID. minor update to that version should not depend on the Apple-ID you are using.
Once you "Purchase" (even for $0) a later version of MacOS, that version and every one after it are tagged with your Apple-ID before downloading to you. Updates are only available to the same Apple-ID that made the original "purchase".
Are you trying to upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave? I ask because you posted in High Sierra forum and then the instructions would be different. It does not appear so from your screenshot but just checking.
Grant it has been doing this for a week now what do I need to do to update my computer
This is the download
... and you click on the (Update Now) button, and what happens, in what order, over how much time?
If you are using WiFi to download that may be the problem, try a cabled connection to your router,
And whilst attempting the download do not let other devices access your internet connection.
It then says can’t connect to the apple server or it says an error occurred while trying to install the update
I have no clue this is the first time i have had this problem I will try what you sent me
I did what you said and problem solved thank you very much
You're welcome. Glad it's sorted.
