| Controlling Automatic Updates |
|
|
When new versions of Apple software are available for download, Software Update opens automatically and asks if you want to install them. Software Update automatically downloads updates in the background, which can be a problem if you need to control when large downloads occur. Open the Software Update preference pane and disable the "Download updates automatically" option. You can also disable the automatic update check, or specify how often it occurs.

“Tim over at the Mac Guys + has been a great IT consultant for us. He's very knowledgable about all things Mac and even PCs. Tim never automatically upgrades or suggests something new until he's had to learn about it and test it. He always has our best interests in mind and likes to make sure we are aware of our options when it's time to upgrade. I'll hire The Mac Guys again when given the chance.”
