software update

[hornet41]

Is it possible to designate the time an update is downloaded??? Reason is I have a 24 hour MB download limit(satellite system), except between the hours of 2-5am, central time. Don't want to have to get up in the middle of the night to run a download!!!!! Thanks, 'MO

Not that I know of, I'm afraid you'll have to get up yourself and start the download. In my position, that'd be quite easy, seeing as I'm nocturnal most of the time

Well, that's what I was afraid of!!! I searched mac help and kinda came to that conclusion but had to ask!!! Thanks
