Can I schedule iMovie update for specific time?

Apple OS X Mavericks question:
Having been a loyal Microsoft Windows user since the beginning in 1985, I just recently gave up and moved to an Apple MacBook Pro (Microsoft really messed up with Win 8, IMO).
I really like the machine and OS X.
My question: Does anyone know if you can schedule application updates for a particular time on OS X Mavericks? I must use satellite broadband which has data limits except after 2 AM. I have an application update for iMovie which is 1.97 GB in size and my broadband allotment per day is only 1 GB total (during normal hours before 2 AM).
I would like to schedule the update for the unlimited hours after 2 AM if this is possible.
It appears this may not be an option on OS X, from what I have been able to find. Sorry if this is a "stupid" question. After 29 years of being a Windows power user, it is strange to be a neophyte again! :-)
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I have this same problem, and posted about it this early this week, at that time I did not see this solution. Here is how I solved the problem - I mostly use Linux so this is a Mac unix solution.
From darwin ports I installed wget.
Using the apple support download site I selected each update I needed, started the download then immediately canceled the download. In the downloads window I right clicked on the download to get the url.
With the text editor I created a shell script and placed the wget command with the url.
Here is my example script for the updates to iTunes and GarageBand
#! /bin/sh
PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/cow:/us r/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
cd /Users/cow/Downloads
wget http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/061-4294.20080303.B5T3a/G arageBand412.dmg
wget http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iTunes7/Mac/061-4 265.20080221.MscTs/iTunes.dmg
exit 0
Save the script in some location like Documents as updates.sh From the terminal do a chmod ugo+rx updates.sh
Then add the script to crontab with the terminal enter crontab -e (It will use vi as the editor) My Entry is:
10 03 * * * /Users/cow/Documents/updates.sh
The next day just comment out your crontab entry.
This will work for all kinds of updates, also good for getting large packages from darwin ports.

can you be more specific?.....is the string coming from your "serial1.vi"? and what string specifically are you looking for to make this event happen?
start by looking at the "comparison" pallet for your T/F logic of what specific string you want, wired to your case statement and a timer....

Hi, We are a physiotherapy practice trying to use i-cal as a clinic diary systaem for 15 therapists. We need to block out availability of therapists but cant do this? How can you block someones diary out for specific times on i-cal? Any help please..

iCal is designed for personal use, and isn't really meant to handle this sort of situation.
The best suggestion I can offer, though it's a trifle untidy, is: create a calendar for each therapist, giving each a different colour. Enter the availability for each therapist - if it's on a weekly basis you can make them repeating events. Then add the individual appointments, which will show alongside in the daily view. In this example, the 'purple' therapist is available from 1030 to 1700 and has appointments at 1200 and 1500.
If you have more than a few therapists available at any one time it's liable to look a bit messy, but it's the best I can think of at the moment.

How to disable an alert for specific time period in SCOM 2012 R2

Hello,
Is there any option to disable an alert for specific time period in SCOM 2012 R2
Regards,
angs

No. But you can use the scheduler module in your rule or monitor, which will dictate when the workflow will actively run on the agent - hence disabling alerting for that time period.

How to change color of a button for specific time interval in jsp

How to change color of a button for specific time interval in jsp.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

This was driving me crazy, too--and the previous answers did not seem to work. I eventually found that if I click one of the data symbols in the graph in exactly the right spot (see below), it selects only the data symbols and not the line. I can tell this because the little selection dots will be around each data symbol, but no selection dots will be on the line between the data symbols - like the graphic in Yvan's answer. Then and only then will the color symbol in the tool bar show the color of the data symbol, instead of the color of the line. I believe that you then have to first click on the color swatch in the toolbar and then select your color (or choose Show Colors and select from the color tool). Just clicking a color in the crayon box, for example, did not seem to work unless I first clicked on the color swatch in the toolbar, then clicked Show Colors on that dropdown, and +only then+ clicked the crayon or whatever.
_The right spot to click_ seems to be just above the exact center of the data symbol, at least for the diamond shape symbol that I prefer. Sometimes it takes several tries to hit the right spot. If I miss it, the whole line is selected, which is indicated by the little selection dots on the line, between the data symbols. When I click the right spot, those selection dots go away, leaving only the data symbols selected. Then I can change the color, as described above.
I hope this works for you too.

Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.

Where can I get map updates for my NV-u44?

My friend gave me a NV-U44 gps. Where can I get map updates for it?

Hello Hawkhero,
Welcome to the Sony Community.
Currently there is no map update available for NV-U44. However, there is a firmware update available for your nav-u unit. Although the firmware update does not provide additional map data, it may improve the route quality of your map in certain situations. The firmware update is available from the Sony® Support Web Site.
