Scheduling downloads and system updates in Yosemite?

We  have sattelit broadband with a cap but unlimited from 12 am to 5 am. Is there a way to schedule App Store (Mac and IOS) updates?

Not in the OS, that I'm aware of.
You could possibly set up your Mac to automatically turn on after midnight and shut down before 5 am. Then set it for automatic updates before shutting down in the evening. Seems a bit too difficult to manage. I also don't know if an active download would interrupt the shutdown.
If you can find a download manager that you can schedule, most of the OS updates are available on the Apple website. Disable automatic updates in the App Store preferences and when a new one is available, you could schedule it with the download manager to grab it from Apple website.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Kicking off download and install Updates remotely

    Hello,
    I know that in Windows 2012 you can launch sconfig and then run "Download and Install Updates" which I have found to be an extremely useful tool.  Can I launch this (or a similiar) command remotely?  We have a patching system, however
    I am not 100% confident in it.  In the event that it failes I would like to be able to manually run Windows Update remotely on multiple servers, possibly a list from a .csv file.
    Can this be down through powershell?
    Thanks. 

    I haven't tried the approach of launching sconfig remotely to try and install updates, but use the Microsoft.Update.Session COM object frequently for update installations. My initial thought is that you wouldn't be able to do so remotely because the process
    launched remotely would be a non-interactive process and sconfig is most likely using the microsoft.update.session COM object for the installations. Again, not tested but based on my experience with this type of thing.
    The Microsoft.Update.Session COM Object (more specifically, the CreateUpdateInstaller() method) doesn't allow for installing updates remotely and this is by design.
    Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa386863(v=vs.85).aspx
    It requires an interactive process and has checks internally to test for this. Even with PowerShell remoting, this
    will fail. I imagine that you could still download the updates remotely, but installing is a different beast all together. You will have to look at using a scheduled job or PSExec to create a remote service that can then run the code as in interactive process.
    I have written a tool called
    PoshPAIG that can do a lot to help install updates remotely (uses psexec) but doesn't yet support downloading and installing updates (someone posted updated code on my codeplex site that does allow for this) that may
    be useful to you. 
    If a UI isn't your thing, I also have
    PowerShell approach available that you could use as well.

    `I was updating ipad 2 to ios 5 it downloaded and was updating and update stoped in betweend and right Now when I am restarting my Ipad 2 it is showing i tunes logo and it's also not getting detected in itunes. Please help    

    Hi Demo, thank you for your suggestions.
    I've tried updating in the following conditions:
    1. "Over The Air" at one location;
    2. On a Windows computer running the latest version of iTunes at the same location;
    3. On Mavericks (10.9.4) running the latest version of iTunes (11.4 (18)) at another location;
    4. On Mavericks, latest iTunes over a VPN with a server location in US;
    5. On Mavericks, using a 3G connection shared from an iPhone;
    6. On Yosemite developer preview with a previous version of iTunes at the same location.
    I got the same results in most cases except for an occasional error with code 9; I'll try again in other conditions.
    Interestingly enough, I've successfully updated my devices to iOS 7.1.2 and to iOS8 GM without any issues at the same location but, of course, no two conditions are exactly the same

  • How can I get my iPod touch to download and install updates to apps?

    I am having difficulties with getting updates for my apps to download and install.  When requested, I supply my password for my apple ID, and select "update".  It immediately jumps to the screen with my icon, and then gives me a status bar and says "waiting" for an unending amount of time.
    I have tried power cycling our wireless router and modem, power cycling the iPod, deleting the apps from all locations then syncing the iPod, and reinstalling the apps. 
    Nothing I try seems to get me out of this never ending cycle of inability to download and install updates.
    Any ideas?

    How are you accessing the mail on the laptop? If you are using a mail client, Outlook, etc, then the mail is being downloaded to the laptop.
    If you want to read them on the iPod, then in the account on the iPod, make sure that you turn off delete from server, then after looking at them on the iPod, delete the messages. You will then be able to pick them up on the laptop. Or, as Illaass said, read them with a web client.

  • Downloaded and installed os x yosemite and now mac book pro will not restart? How long should this take? Is there something wrong? Please helpthanks in advance

    MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?

    The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
    The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check  menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed.

  • Impossible to download and install update 11.1.4

    I cannot download and install update 11.1.4 on my PC Windows 7 After about 41MB an Error message tells me to Download only and then install manually_The same error message appears again after about 41MB How can I install this update please?

    Yes I do agree on waiting.  I have the same problem. However at the end of my download, message was do you want to repair or delete iTunes .  I chose repair, and then said was not successful. I have no idea.  So you idea jpozuk is the best one, in my opinion.
    We'll have to play the waiting game.
    Good day to all who reads this. :0)

  • Can the Adobe Update Server be used to automatically download and install updates?

    Can the Adobe Update Server be used to download and install updates to Creative Cloud apps automatically without admin or user intervention?
    I've noticed there is a Adobe Remote Update Manager, but I would rather all the updates and installs happen in the background.

  • Can't download and apply updates

    All,
    I have various updates that need to be applied to my Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.2.  When I attempt to download and install updates, one of two things will happen:
    Half way through - the download will stop with an error message like "Can't complete the download"
    (And this is the current situation) The App store will say I have no updates available - even though I know several are available
    I have tried a few of the tips I have already found in this forum:
    I have been into the Spotlight settings and attempted to reindex many of my files
    Tried to delete /Library/Caches, ~/Library/Caches, ~/Library/Cookies, /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist.  Doesn't work. Actually, some of these files aren't on my Mac
    Checked my iTunes account - it's fine
    I can buy new apps just fine - just can't apply updates to existing ones
    I did go to the iTunes download page and successfully installed iTunes v11.  Just can't get it to work throught the App store
    Not sure what else to try.  Here's a screen showing that my Mac believes there are updates available but the App Store says no.
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks

    Not sure why the screen shot won't post......
    Any way, I seemed to have solved my issue for the moment.  I manually downloaded the updates for iTunes, iPhoto, and the Camera Raw update.  I then retried the "updates" from the App Store and it worked.
    Go figure.

  • I just downloaded the software update for Yosemite after it restarted and installed the software I have a white screen. What should I do ?o

    I Just downloaded the latest software for Yosemite 10.10 after it restarted and installed the software it stopped, now I have a white screen. What should I do now?

    Hi ..
    Hold down  the power button until the screen goes black.
    Wait about ten seconds then restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to verify and repair the startup disk if necessary and reinstall OS X. (10.10.1)

  • Cannot download Iphoto after updated to Yosemite

    I cannot update Iphoto anymore after updated to Yosemite. The system popped up a small window and showed that: update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. But it is my own account, I just changed the password.
    Please help me to solve this problem.

    That means, that your AppleID is not associated with the iPhoto version you have installed.
    Which version of iPhoto do you currently have?  Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID (in the Store" menu).
    If iPhoto came preinstalled on your Mac, check the "Purchases" tab of the App Store, if there is an "Accept" button besides iPhoto. If yes, accept iPhoto to associate it with your Apple ID.  Then try again to update.
    If that does not work, uninstall iPhoto - move the iPhoto app from the Applications folder to the Trash and then go to the "Featured" tab of the App Store, search for iPhoto using the Search field, then press the "Get" button to install iPhoto again, this time with your current AppleID:

  • Network drives and System Update updating itself (Error 1327.Invalid Drive)

    I have a Windows network share permanently mapped as a network drive on my system. This prevents Lenovo System Update 5 from updating itself.
    Here is what happens:
    Launch Lenovo System Update and click Next to look for updates.
    When 'Searching for agent updates' it will tell me: 'System Update is updating itself. Your copy of System Update needs to be updated. Click OK to begin updating System Update.'
    Click OK, Lenovo System Update will download the update and appear to install it.
    At the end it will tell me: 'System Update was installed successfully'
    Click Close, just to be sure I wait for a while so System Update can finish whatever it is doing in the background (if anything at all).
    When nothing appears to happen I launch Lenovo System Update manually and it will tell me it needs to update itself again, and go to the same process as above. The update did not install successfully at all. System update keeps updating itself in a loop.
    Next thing I tried is manually downloading the latest System Update version from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE
    I downloaded systemupdate503-09-17-2013.exe for my Windows 7 machine.
    The installer detects to old version of System Update and offers to uninstall that. I click Yes.
    A moment later the real error appears: 'Error 1327.Invalid Drive: S:\'
    The only thing I can do now is press OK to close the installer.
    The S:\ drive is my network drive which is permanently mapped to a share on my NAS.
    It is not an invalid drive, S:\ opens fine in Windows Explorer.
    I don't know why the System Update installer wants to access my S: drive in the first place. All my applications are installed on C:. While I did move some special folders like My Pictures and My Videos to S:, the relevant folders My Documents and Desktop are still on C:.
    I have found a workaround to the problem above:
    Close Lenovo System Update completely when it says it needs to update itself.
    Run Command Prompt as Administrator (find it in the start menu, righ-click it and 'Run as administrator').
    Type 'subst s: c:\' without the quotes. Replace s: with the drive letter of your network drive, and c: should be an existing regular drive.
    Now run Lenovo System Update again and let it update itself.
    You'll notice System Update now restarts itself after updating and there are no problems.
    Once you are done with System Update, type 'subst s: /D' to delete the substituted virtual drive. Don't worry, this will not delete your actual network drive.
    The workaround does the job, but it would be nice to see an actual fix from Lenovo. I have a ThinkPad X230 running 64bit Windows 7 Professional if this is relevant.

    Please try either of the workaround.
    1. Create a new Admin user, log on in that and then you can install Adobe Reader,
    or
    2. easier solution is just create a dummy folder on your machine anywhere, lets says Folder name "Dummy"  in c:\
    not go to command prompt
    and type subst I: c:\dummy
    and you are all set to go.
    once you are done, you can remove that virtual drive mapping by
    subst I:\  /d
    please let me know if works.

  • Trouble downloading drivers / System Update software

    Just upgraded my Thinkpad T61 to Windows 7  and almost everything is running smoothly.....I can't seem to download any drivers from the Lenovo website, including the System Update for Windows 7 software. (I get to the "accept the terms" page and accept but then nothing).   Is this a problem on Lenovo's server end?  
    Right now I'd just like the hotkey functionality as well as my bluetooth functionality back.  Any suggestions?

    They seem to be having problems with their proxy server, or at least that's what message I'm getting.  You can always go to the driver matrix page for your T61 and download it from there:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67853
    Here's the link (on that same page) to your Hotkey drivers for Windows 7:
