Q: Is it possible to set up network locations in such a way that other preferences also get set?  Specifically, I usually have my Software Updates set to download in the background, but when I am using my iPhone's Personal Hotspot I'd like to disable this.

Or indeed is some other way possible, such as using an Applescript to detect when I am using my personal hotspot on my (limited data package!) 3g iPhone (via wi-fi or USB etc) and then switch off the automatic downloads until I revert back to my regular connection? 

 

Apologies -seem to have posted this in the worng forum.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3), iPhone 4
