Hello flic2002,


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


When you say laptop, I think of a PC and if your download keeps getting interrupted it makes me think network issue.


There's a section here on resolving network errors.

These alerts mean that your computer is either having difficulty contacting the Apple update server or communicating with your device.

Check your computer for software or settings that might cause communication issues between your computer and Apple or between your computer and your device.


Check your security software

Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
