How do I schedule update dowloads to take place between 2AM and 7AM?

My internet provider limits me to 200MB of download in a 24 hour period. However, between 2AM and 7AM, I am allowed unlimited downloads. My internet service is provided by Hughesnet Satellite. I do not have access to DSL or other high speed internet. If I exceed the 200MB outside the 2AM to 7AM window, I loose internet access for the next 24 hours. So, it would be beneficial for me to do large downloads and updates during the 2AM to 7AM window.
I have just switched to a Mac from a PC. My proficiency on the Mac is limited due to inexperience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, jrmorel

Look for a download manager that has a feature to do downloads at a specific time.

Can I set my macbook to install updates at a specific time? My internet is limited through the day but between 2am and 7am it is unlimited?

My internet is limited through the day and I want to know if I can set a specific time for updates to be carried out to make sure my macbook is working efficiently.

Yes. When you get a notification that an update is available, select "Try Tonight". That will constrain the update to occur between 2:00 and 5:00 AM.

HT1338 How do I schedule update downloads to happen in the wee hours?

I am on a satalite internet connection, and i need to control when my computer does it downloads so it happens between 2 and 6 AM. How?

Your computer needs to be awake during that time. If your machine is not awake all night then you'll need to schedule a wake up in the energy saver panel of system preferences.
if your machine is awake, you can run a manual update with the following unix command:
sudo softwareupdate --install --all
It needs to be run as root, so the simplest way to do it is with a launchd job. Save the following text as a plain text file in /Library/LaunchDaemons/user.software_update.auto.plist, and restart your machine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>user.software_update.auto</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>softwareupdate</string>
                    <string>--install</string>
                    <string>--all</string>
          </array>
          <key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
          <dict>
                    <key>Weekday</key>
                    <integer>0</integer>
                    <key>Hour</key>
                    <integer>3</integer>
                    <key>Minute</key>
                    <integer>0</integer>
          </dict>
</dict>
</plist>
This should install updates automatically at 3am on Sunday if the computer is awake (or at next wake if the computer is asleep).

How do I fix Firefox updates so they take place only on a certain date

I access the internet via satellite (rural SW France!), and have a limit on downloads each month. I want the Firefox updates to happen only on the 5th of each month, not automatically. How can I stop Firefox from updating automatically, and select the date I want the updates to take place?

There is no built in way to get Firefox to check for updates on 5th of each month. You can disable the automatic updates and manually check for updates. For details of how to do that see [[updating Firefox]].

How to make my application programmatically switch between English and Russian

Greetings from Colorado...
My application needs to be switchable between English and Russian. Future languages to add are Spanish and Chinese. The user selects a language
from a control before starting the program and then the program changes the Captions, Boolean Texts, Graph Labels, and Enum Type Strings to the
chosen language. For Russian, this requires a different set of characters. I have made substantial progress by:
Control Panels>Region and Language>Keyboards and Languages>Change Keyboards added Russian>Keyboard>Russian on my development
computer.
In the LabVIEW.ini file, I added UseUnicode=TRUE (thanks to a suggestion found in this forum)
Made property nodes for controls and used properties such as Interpret As Unicode (True for Russian, False for English), Text, Font Name, Font Size, etc.
I have used fonts Arial and Arial CYR for Russian and MS Sans Serif for English
Set the keyboard for Russian and enter Cyrillic characters into text constants that are set for Arial or Arial CYR font. Sometimes one works and
sometimes the other works. As long as I set the font name in the property node the same way the text went into the text constant, it generally
works. I wish I could understand why one works sometimes and the other works other times!
I have had trouble with the Boolean Text going off-center when changing fonts and languages and it seems that by setting the Lock Text In Center
property to False and then True again, it seems to work. Often changing Boolean texts between short and long texts causes some of the long text
to be non-displayed; I have remedied this by explicitly setting the width of the Boolean text in a property node.
Often, the Russian text appears as gibberish with strange right-angle characters, :s, =s, and tiny numbers. I have been able to remedy this on my
development computer by ensuring that the text constant on the block diagram has the same size as the caption is supposed to have. This
is not necessary for normal programming in English, but it seems to help here. But it doesn't always solve the problem.
Sometimes the English text appears as Chinese gibberish in an Enum Type selection list or in a graph label. On my development computer,
it seems that making the text the last property to change helps here.
By changing the sequences of assignments to a single property node with a long list of properties, I have been able to make some of these
controls to switch between languages without gibberish showing up.
A few hours ago, I had the Russian strings in the Enum Type control working, except that when selecting from the available items, only the first
word of the Russian string was displayed. Two of the items start with the same word, so the user can't distinguish them.
At that time the English strings were appearing as Chinese gibberish while the list during the selection process displayed in English. As soon
as I changed the selection, future attempts to change the selection gave Chinese gibberish during the selection process, too. But this was only
a problem in the executable version; the source-code version worked fine.
In an attempt to get rid of the Chinese gibberish, I made new constants and retyped the items into them. This worked! But then, the Russian
stopped working and gave gibberish angles and tiny numbers, even though I didn't touch any of the code that sets the properties in Russian mode.
After trying a few sequences of setting the properties for the graph X label on page 2 of my tab control, this label started working correctly for both
languages. But the text of that label comes through on page 1 of the tab control, partly obscured by other controls on that page. After the
program runs a few more seconds, these shadows disappear.
Most times I restart LabVIEW, I get an error message saying there was a crash due to fontmgr.cpp, line 7494. But there actually wasn't a crash.
My computer has Windows 7 64-bit. Deployment Computer has Windows 7 32-bit. LabVIEW version is 8.5.
I have probably 50 or 100 more controls and indicators to change to language programmability and figuring out all this stuff for each one is
terribly time-consuming and there is no assurance that all of them will ever work.
At this point, I'm hoping that I am on an entirely wrong path and someone will send me a clue to get me on a path that is more predictable.
Thanks in advance to all who post ideas!
Cheers
Halden

Hi All,
I've made a lot of progress on this translation, but it's been really hard. There are lots of weird things going on that must be logical because they're in a computer, but I can't figure out what the logic is. When changing a font on a caption using the front panel, it sometimes changes the font on the caption and sometimes doesn't although the indicator always indicates the new font. Removing the first character of the unicode font string being sent to the caption seems to help...huh? Anyway, tabs still can't change language programmatically, and niether can ring controls (some kinds will take the new list of strings, but when selecting, they only display the first word of the string!). Boolean text can be reprogrammed, but only if the boolean text is set to be the same for both true and false states. When reprogramming captions on a non-displayed page of a multi-page tab-controlled user interface, the new text appears on the current page until I change pages back and forth. What a pain!
Sooo, NI....does LabVIEW 2011 have support for unicode fonts? Or, is there anything else in the new control style that will support programmatic language changing?

How to achieve that "SELECT * FROM table WHERE age BETWEEN 18 AND 23 AND n"

How to achieve the SQL like that "SELECT * FROM table WHERE age BETWEEN 18 AND 23 AND name = 'Will' " with BDB C-API
The primary key in the primary database is 'age' ,and the secondary key in the secondary index is 'name' ,in a lot of examples ,there are all simple , but how to do that complex one.thx~

but this means that the prepared statement is created
each time I call my method and so I'm not sure that
the optimizer will find it easy to cope with.You are right, the optimizer won't find that easy to deal with (presuming that is even relevant for your driver/database.) But most optimizers won't do anything with statements that change and that is what you are doing.
You could create several prepared statements which have a common number of bind variables. For example 10 statements with from 1 to 10 bind values. This will work if most of the queries use those.

How long does Lion update not download take?

Download was quick, install not so much. Ive had blue screen with spinning circle for 1 1/2 hours? I have new 27 inch i5, duo core with 1 TB. How long should this take? Ive never had an update take this long? Do I need to do something to move it along or restart?

This endednup being the Server download timing out. I rebooted the iMac and restarted the download. 30 mins for it to run the update.

How do I get updates dowloaded to my I phone 1.

Yesterday, I was in the Apple store in Providence Mall in Rhode Island.
One of associate ask me to go to ITunes and dowload the upgrades.
However, I can not get to sign for Itune or anything in that nature.

If you are talking about the software updates to the phone, that has to be done in iTunes with the iPhone connected. Go to the summary page and in about the center of the page, there is a button for updates. It will check for updates and if there are any, it will prompt you what to do.

How do you get the screensaver that takes your iPhoto pictures and make one big picture? Used to have it on 10.6.8 but cant find it

Used to have it on 10.6.8 but cant find it. It took all the pics from iPhoto I think then made a pic out of them as a screen. Help?

Ah, welcome to my world...the world of progressive vs interlaced, RGB vs YUV, compression/decompression,10 bit or 8 bit, 4:4:4 vs 4:0:1 vs 4:1:2, color space (etc, etc, etc..!)
There's HD, DV, HDV, NTSC, PAL and more - its a place where acronyms roam free and multiply daily.
You're in for a fascinating journey that will soon have you understanding things you never dreamt you'd need to know, then when you think you've got to grips with 'em, you'll discover you don't really know the first thing about them...!
Fortunately you've got Bogie, Patrick, Shane, David and more to take you along for the ride.
I will suggest (and probably be corrected) that what you're seeing is probably interlaced footage on your progressive monitor. (You mentioned you're watching the DVD on your computer.) Your TV has far fewer lines of resolution than your computer monitor, so FCP works within those constrictions. Also your TV runs at 29.97 frames a second, which is actually 60 frames a second as each frame is divided into two fields, which comb together to for one frame. These combs are very much evident when watching a DVD on a computer. Even high budget Hollywood films have this problem, especially when the camera or subject is moving. There is no way around this if you're outputting on DVD or NTSC.
You could create an Progressive file, which won't do this on your monitor, but thats a whole other ball of wax...
Welcome though. Its all good. (And the people on this site are very helpful, I've learnt a lot over the last 5 years by simply reading these posts.)

Do all updates have to take place in Adobe Application Manager?

Upon opening some Adobe apps, lets pick Acrobat as an example, I get prompted to update to the latest version by a pop-up window with a click-to-download link. Do I do this or should I wait until the AAM tells me there is an update?
Will it cause issues to update from outside of the AAM?

Hi Ankertw,
It shouldn't matter whether you go to Help>Updates in the programs themselves or through the Adobe Application Manager, the result should be the same.

TS2755 I've moved to a different province so now I have a new phone number. How do I change/update imessage with my new phone number and delete my old one?

I've changed my phone number since I got my iphone 4S. Now when I imessage, my old phone number shows up as the contact info. How do I delete my old number and add my new phone number?

Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.

How can I do to share the array elements between "C" and "Java"

Hi,all
I want to implement the function about this: c and java between JNI can share the same data area. For example, when change the value of the array in java, i can get the same value in c.
I use the function:Xxx* GetXxxArrayElements(JNIEnv env, jarray array, jboolean isCopy)
But i find that the "isCopy" is JNI_TRUE which means that i get the pointer which point to a copy,so i can't get the change
in Java later.
How can I do?Can i set "isCopy" with JNI_FALSE??
Thank u.

No, you can't. isCopy is of type jboolean*, and the value is just set by the call to inform you whether the data was copied or not, but you cannot infulence that.
In fact, the VM might store an array of primitives in a different way as C, and this routine has to convert between the two representations. In this case copying is always required.

How do I get numbers app files to synchronize between ipad and iphone?

Does anyone know how to adjust the settings on iCloud or the Numbers App itself to allow files created and modified using the Numbers App to automatically make and save any corrections made to the files on any other device on which you have the Numbers App installed and that are connected to the same itunes/iCloud account. I had my devices set-up where this happened but I had to reset them to factory settings and lost this ability. Your help is greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.

First, both your devices shoulde be using the same Apple ID account.
Second make sure that the "Documents and Data" option under iCloud settings are set ON for both devices.
That should make it work.
