Tips and Tricks

Adjust your Software Update schedule

If you have an Internet connection that is always on, you can set a schedule for your computer so that it checks for software updates at a certain time on speciﬁc days of the week. If you have a dial-up connection and you are not connected, Software Update will check the next time you connect.

Install new software automatically

You can set up your Mac so that every week it checks for and installs the latest software. Set a schedule for your computer to check for software updates and deselect the “Ask me before downloading new software” checkbox.
