I am trying to download an update for my iphone, but in the middle of the download I get an error message that says, 'There was a problem downloading the software for iphone. The network connection timed out.' Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

A number of people on here have successfully downloaded it after getting timeout messages by temporarily turning off their firewall and antivirus software.

Hi Robertfrom Denver.

Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?

I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.

I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?
