[QUOTE="sirhenryford, post: 1646735, member: 346411"] Thank you. I recall about "App Store" to download software updates that have to be downloaded upon request. What you have told me has confirmed what I thought. However I would definitely like to check that the default setting has not been altered. Yesterday something very peculiar happened. I received a message on my screen that said that attempts had been made to try to download a software update but as I was using the application for the download, the download could not take place. The message also asked me to restart my computer so that the download could be received. After I had set the computer to restart and it restarted a progress bar came on that took very little time to finish and then my computer restarted and nothing else unusual happened. I have looked in my downloads folder and a iPhoto update has been received called "Many Tricks". Would such an update be responsible for taking up .87 GB? I very much doubt it. Please could you'll me how to get to and read the options list you mentioned. to make sure that the computer is definitely set to default (again I suspect that it is) so that software is not automatically downloaded. Again the fact that I was asked to download the software update and it not being automatically downloaded straight into my computer indicates to me that the computer is set at default. This problem is causing big problems to me as huge amounts of my Internet allocation keep being used and I know that it is definitely not me. [/QUOTE]
