How to alter "Update"

Is there any way to alter the Update program so that it will operate less frequently? Is it possible or wise to turn it off totally?
Used with my external hard drive, Update checks the drive every minute or so causing disruptions in programs using the hard drive.
Thanks.

When you say the Update program, do you mean Software Update? If so, if you really don't want your computer to notify you just go to Software Update in the System Preferences and uncheck "Check for updates". Are you sure it's software update that is causing the problems though, usually it just runs once a day/week/month and is not running all the time. HTH.

  • How does Vault Update - all or only altered data?

    With a vault already established, how does the update vault process works? In other words, let say I modified or created 10 image versions (of the 3,000 plus stored in Aperture). If I update the valut (on a external HD), are all pictures overwritten or just the new data that's changed?

    Hi Jim,
    The vault functionality is basically a sync functions. After updating a vault, the vault will be a copy of you Aperture Lib. This means that images that you have deleted from you lib will be deleted from you vault. Notice that the images are not gone, but copied to a folder called deleted images.

  • Changing SSL Cert, how do you update the trust profile for devices.

    I am in the process of changing out the ssl cert for the trust profile (going from a self-signed to a signed cert).  How do you update the trust profile on the devices already paired with the server.

    Yes, the linked smart object can be either raster or vector, but they will be placed as raster images, just as the embedded SO are.  SO can be embedded or linked to an outside file.  Edits to the original will not update in the original until you select "Update modified content from the menu" when you reopen the file that has the place SO in it.  otherwise it will update when you save the linked file.  Yes, there still is an advantage to having an embedded SO.  You may not want to maintain the links - send a file off and forget to include the linked files.  You may want to alter the SO, but not the original file.
    Ah, thanks. But does this mean that raster and vector smart objects can EITHER be located within the Photoshop file (as they have been since their advent) OR linked to an external file?
    And if so,
    1. Can this linked file be either raster or vector?
    2. Do edits to it automatically update the Photoshop file?
    3. Is ther any longer any advantage to having the smart object data stored within the Photoshop file when it can be linked?

  • How to cascade update

    how to cascade update?

    Sorry everyone for going regional with my Mexican fiend!
    In MEXMAN's first case, integrity on related data was already being enforced through a valid foreign key (TIZAYUCA.REGLAFAB_PRODUCTO_FK). However, the user wanted to update data included in the foreign key relationship. To acomplish this, I recommended to change the actual constraint state to defer validation until commit. Using the now familiar column names, the sentences are:
    ALTER TABLE TIZAYUCA.REGLA_FABRICACION
    DROP CONSTRAINT REGLAFAB_PRODUCTO_FK;
    ALTER TABLE TIZAYUCA.REGLA_FABRICACION
    ADD CONSTRAINT REGLAFAB_PRODUCTO_FK FOREIGN KEY (GRUPO, PRODUCTO)
    REFERENCES TIZAYUCA.PRODUCTO (GRUPO, CLAVE)
    INITIALLY DEFERRED;
    In MEXMAN's second case, a wholly new integrity needs to be enforced between two tables but some actual data present in both tables do not validate the desired constraint. The offending rows from the child table (TIZAYUCA.PRESENTACION) may be obtained executing
    SELECT *
    FROM tizayuca.presentacion t
    WHERE (t.grupo, t.producto) NOT IN
    (SELECT p.grupo, p.clave
    FROM tizayuca.producto p);
    MEXMAN has 3 choices:
    1. deleting the offending rows in the child table (TIZAYUCA.PRESENTACION) before executing
    alter table TIZAYUCA.PRESENTACION enable constraint PRES_PROD_FK;
    2. inserting the missing rows in the parent table (TIZAYUCA.PRODUCTO) before executing
    alter table TIZAYUCA.PRESENTACION enable constraint PRES_PROD_FK;
    3. making the new constraint ignore the present data and enforcing the relationship starting with new data:
    alter table TIZAYUCA.PRESENTACION
    add constraint PRES_PROD_FK foreign key (GRUPO, PRODUCTO)
    references TIZAYUCA.PRODUCTO (GRUPO, CLAVE)
    deferrable initially deferred
    enable novalidate;
    (drop the present PRES_PROD_FK constraint first)

  • How do you update the image used for your podcast?

    I just recently updated the logo for my podcast and want to know how to alter the one shown on iTunes. I use hipcast to host my podcasts and it tends to update my info on iTunes when I change it via hipcast but does not seem to be working for my pic.

    Make the new image - it should be 1400 x 1400 px - and make sure to give it a different file name from the existing image, or the iTunes Store, which caches the image, won't know it's been changed.
    Upload it to your server and change the URL in the feed, or make the change by whatever method you used to enter the original in Hipcast.
    It's likely to take the iTunes Store quite some days to update the image, so don't panic if it doesn't update at once.

  • How can I update my app store account ?

    Hi, I have a new Iphone and I wanted to add some applications from apple store.
    Unfortunately, I had a message saying that I was using app store on a new device (true) and they needed to check some security thing from my visa card. Unfortunately, I had a new  card and do not have the previous one anylonger (the previous one expires in 1 year but had to be cancelled).
    Therefore I am blocked and cannot get into my account.
    How can I update my bank account and get into the apple store again ?
    Thanks

    Great, it worked. i could update the account from the laptop (but not from the phone).
    Many thanks for such a swift feedback !!

    In the future Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
    how can i update my table automatically at run time so tat, my table is
    updated whenever a new object is entered into vector..You don't update the Vector directly. You should be creating a method in your TableModel, called "addRow(...)". This method will do two things:
    a) add the Student object to the Vector
    b) invoke the fireTableRowsInserted(..) method of AbstractTableModel. This will cause the table to be repainted.

  • Steps to put itunes (50 gb) on external drive and delete from imac.  How would I update my ipods and ipad from the external drive if I do this

    I am planning to put itunes library on external hard drive. My Imac is running out of room and itunes is 50+ gb of music.
    What steps do I take to do this.  Also, if I do so, how do I update my ipods and my ipad 2.  I do back up my files with time machine.  This would be a completely separate new external hard drive.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Two ways:
    1. After transferring to the external drive create an alias to the iTunes Music folder on the external drive.  Copy the alias into your Home folder.  Rename the alias to "iTunes Music."  Delete the alias from the external drive.
    2. In the iTunes preferences click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar.  You should see a field labeled, "iTunes Media Folder Location."  Click on the Change button and select the /iTunes Music/ folder on the external drive.
