Software upgrade for iPhone to connect to iMac

I get the window saying I need to update my software in order to have my iPhone (or iPad) connect to the iMac when I plug it in to the USB port. When I click INSTALL it says it is downloading but the progress bar never moves and it never completes. How to I get this update installed if this path doesn't work. Running 11.6.7

Thanks,

Doug

Try boot the computer in safe mode Start up your Mac in safe mode – Apple Support (UK)

And see if the problem persists. Most of the time these kind of downloads will download when excecuted in safe mode
