Maybe Update via Safe Mode?

What do you mean by "times out"? Has it the Mac stopped responding during the update? If so, you may have no choice, but to go about reinstalling the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac (Hold Down [Command + R] upon boot). Once installed, attempt this update once more, but this time, perhaps, in Safe Mode.

If you are using WiFi that may be the problem, if you can connect to your router using a cable that

will give you a more robust connection. Do not use your Mac while it is downloading and limit any

other devices sharing your connection.

Also you can download the update. from here, https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2024?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

once downloaded double-click to install.

Eau Rouge, THANK YOU!!! That update was able to download and installed perfectly!!!

I just used that link you sent and everything works way better. The funny thing was when attempted to test the modem speed from Xfinity I kept getting an error as well. Just for the heck of it I will attempt it again.

I really, really appreciate your response. Thank you once again!
