Checking for Updates
The Check for Update tab in the Preferences dialog box enables and disables the
Check for Update feature, which allows Timbuktu Pro to check automatically for
updated versions. By default, the check occurs silently once per week when you
launch Timbuktu Pro. When an update is found, Timbuktu Pro opens your Web
browser and loads the Web page for the updated version.
To disable the automatic check for updates, clear the Check Automatically check
box. To check for an update immediately, click Check Now.
Note: The top of the Check for Update tab displays the URL that will be checked for
the update. This URL will vary depending on your Mac OS X version and the cur-
rent version of Timbuktu Pro running on your computer.
