Is it possible to delay a download untill a specified time?

I have very slow and limited bandwidth. My isp provides free bandwidth from midnight to 6:00AM Since I am trying to update my iphone software, and it will take 3 hours, I would like to do it overnight. Is it possible to set it to do it at that time?

There's no way I can think of besides beginning it, then pausing the download, then coming back right before you go to sleep and resuming it again. The phone will only need to be connected when you first plug it in to begin the download.

Is it possible to open our application at a specified time ?

I want to do an application that auto Launches itself at a specified time and do its task. For example Anti Virus applications in Windows will launch every day automatically at a specified time given by the user and cleans the system. I searched fully in the net but can't able to get anything that does not violates sandbox. LaunchAgents looks promising but it is not supporting the sandbox. My question is it possible to do this kind of scheduling in OS X ?

Why do I doubt that?
Did you consider NSTimer? If you need something that will automatically install itself and run in the background without user intervention, then you are out of luck. That is precisely what the sandbox is meant to prevent. You are free to develop the application using any of the dozen available methods to do this but you aren't going to be in the Mac App Store.

Delaying execution until a specified time

All,
I am developing a web application using Java servlets (no JSPs). What I have been trying to accomplish is to pass a date in a specified format to a servlet, have the servlet parse the date, and then upon that specified date complete its actions. The passing of the date and parsing works fine, and I can actually get the difference between the specified date and the current date and execute a Thread.currentThread().sleep(difference), but this only seems logical for dateTimes that are fairly close to the current dateTime. This method would obviously not be useful if one wanted to send a date three months from now to this servlet. My question therefore is, Is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thank you so much for your reply, and I am sorry that this reply has taken me so long. I believe that this will work, but it essentially has the same issue of as I am facing in that it would not be very useful in scheduling a task three months from any given date, because internally it uses the Object.wait(long) method for a given Thread. This would mean, if i am thinking correctly, that my servlet would have to be executed in a browser that would need to be open constantly until execution (three months)? If this is not the case, then please correct me. OItherwise, I may have to take this particular functionality out of a servlet and place it in a stand alone app.

Delay message processing until after a given datetime?

Using Service Broker, is it possible to delay a given message from being processed until some future date/time has gone by?

Depends on what you want to achieve, but maybe you can use a conversation timer? BEGIN CONVERSATION TIMER sets up a timeout that produces a message on the local queue in the given time frame.

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

The power DVD app is active, and seems to download ok. You have already deleted the app?
I suspect what is happeneing is that a download is in your queue, and is blocking the queue until it completes, thus the message every time you try to do a down load. It may be failing because while it thinks you have the app, it is not finding it, and doesn't know what to do. ( sounds like a poorly designed download).
I think the way around this might be for you to resync with your iTunes, and let it reload the app onto your pad. Let it complete the download. Then, if you do not want the app, delete it again from your pad, and if you never want it, from I tunes as well.
The next time they do an update, you may wind up in the same situation, so if it happens again, until they fix the download routine, you will get stuck again.
So try the suggestion, and see if this clears it out.
The other option would be to open your account in I tunes on your computer, let it complete the download there.

Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

I downloaded music to my iphone and when I went to go sync it up to itunes, I lost all of the songs purchased from that time until the previous time I backed it up. How do I recover these purchased songs that have been lost?

All of your music should be in itunes on your computer.
Select it to sync and sync.

Is it possible to restart a download from the amount downloaded previously?

Is it possible to restart a download from the amount downloaded previously?
When I download some lectures from iTunes U, sometimes the link breaks and the download gets interupted.Then when the download is resumed it starts from 0 KB and not from the KB amount that was downloaded when the download was interupted.Is there a way to resume the download from the point it was interrupted?

Well I'm using 9.0.3.1.5 and I STILL have this same problem.
Not sure if location is a factor, but I'm a US resident with a US iTunes account but I spend most of my time in Asia and I know a LOT of folks in India, UAE, etc with it. Everything else in iTunes works perfectly fine, except resuming non-purchased downloads.
On Apple Support I could only find a solution related to Purchased downloads, but not individual unsubscribed podcasts you clicked GET on or free iTunesU content. These still go back to zero with no option to resume only restart.
I mean, every quality download manager for your web browser gives you a consistent experience in resuming almost any download except very few servers on the Internet with specific policies to not allow resumes. If there is no solution just silence, either this is one of those mysterious come-and-go bugs that are hard to replicate or maybe iTunes is conserving bandwidth by discouraging resumes of free content it doesn't make money on. Especially 100MB+ files from folks in places with reliable but slower "3rd world" connections. So I would with a half bitten lip throw an answer your question as NO, it is not possible.
I do hope someone who thinks they have a solution steps in to say Yes, it would make a lot of people very happy.

Is there any possible way I can download Microsoft powerpoint on my MacBook Pro OS X for free? I need it for lots of projects of my school.

Dear Apple Inc.
I would like to know if there is any possible way I can download Microsoft Powerpoint on my MacBook Pro OS X for free? I hope you can reply as soon as you can so I can be able to do all the projects being presented to me from school on Microsoft Powerpoint.
Thank you,
April Navarro

These are user forums. You are not speaking to Apple here. You cannot get MS products for free. You can purchase the student version of Office for OS X from MS. You can download a 30 day free trial that you can fully activate by purchasing a license key for $139.00.
You can download a free copy of Libre Office which is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows but runs on Macs. I don't know how compatible the presentation module is to Powerpoint.

I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

If I purchase lightroom but want to install on both a pc and a mac is that possible from just a download version rather than ordering a disc?

Yes, a single serial number can be used to install on two computers and one can be a PC and one a Mac. The download will be a different installer for each platform but the serial number should activate both.

When trying to install a digital copy, everything works including the downloading, until it is processing to iTunes then I receive "You do not have enough access privilages for this operation. Check the disk to make sure it is clean and retry." error.

When trying to install a digital copy, everything works including the downloading, until it is processing to iTunes then I receive "You do not have enough access privilages for this operation. Check the disk to make sure it is clean and retry." error.
Tryed several times, Same Results. Tryied rebooting, logging out & into iTunes, Same Result. Seems to do this error with every digital copy, but works eventually. But now will not post digital copy to my iTunes at all. Just same error over and over.
Any Thoughts??

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

Adobe flashplayer won't continue downloading until I close Mozilla Foxfire,Adobe says it's conflicting the download. How do I close Mozilla Firefox?

Adobe flashplayer won't continue downloading until I close Mozilla Foxfire. Adobe says it's conflicting the download. How do I close Mozilla Firefox so I can finish my download of Adobe Flash Player? And then how will I turn Foxfire back on once Adobe Flash Player is done downloading?

To close Firefox, in the menus select "File > Exit", you can start Firefox by using the same shortcut that you used to open Firefox originally.
I would ignore the instructions from Adobe. Adobe uses its own download manager but it is not required. All you need to do to install Adobe Flash is download the Adobe Flash manual installer and run it. For details on doing that see the Adobe troubleshooting article - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
