How do you do a manual update of Gingerbread?

What are the steps to do a manual update?
Does anyone have a straight forward STEP BY STEP explanation on how to perform a MANUAL update of Gingerbread rather than using the Over The Air (OTA) update?
JerryF

Only Official testers have recieved the SD installable so far.
Once GIngerbread is released offciailly to everyone, verizon will probably post the downloadable.
How I did the offcial.
You have to take the file from your pc via usb and move it to the sd card in the main folder (not in any other folder-make sure you have no other update  packs with it to make it easier.
You have to put the phone in the update mode which is tricky (not download mode) holdign home key  power and volume Up at same time  then release. battery MUST be in.
IT will work if the update file is there. You will then tell it update via SD card.  it will show the update file 
It will begin the process and look like an OTA update icon when it does.
Once complete it will auto reboot.

  • How do you use the Manual update?

    The subject pretty much says it all. I click on it, but have no idea how to then put songs on the iPod using it.

    Whn your iPod is connect to your pc/mac and itunes is open select the music you want on your ipod and drag those files onto the ipod listed in the left pane.
    The ipod icon will then flash red whilst it is updating.

    How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?

    Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Another Easier Alternative:
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
    Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.

  • How Do You Stop and Clear Updates in Progress?

    Lets say you deploy and update and in goes to "in progress" and then you decide not to apply the updates (right away). How do you stop it and clear in from the SBS console?
    Thanks!

    Yep:  WSUS
    Right click and "decline", if "stop" is not a choice.  You can always bring it back to the surface later.

    I have not found any way to right click and stop the updates in progress.

  • How do you delete a software update?

    After you download a software update, how do you delete it?

    I don't believe you need more than 500Mb of free space if you perform the update through itunes. As all operations are done on the computer, and then the files are simply replaced with the newer versions.
    As to your other questions:

    You don't. As long as you don't install it it will be there. Once installation is complete, the system will delete it from the device.

    Once you press the "Download and Install" button, what happens next? Does it do the former first, the latter first, or both?
    Obviously it can't install if it hasn't Downloaded first. So if you still have the "Download and Install" option as opposed to the "Install Now" option it will first download and then install.

    If you are using Itunes and choose to only Download, then it will simply download the update package and store it on your computer. When you are ready to install it you can then press the install button.

  • How do you make iTunes read updated tag data from a file?

    This is such basic functionality that I'm sure I'm just missing it. It used to be the when I modified a file using a third party application (or editing a shared library using iTunes running on a different machine), all you had to do to get those updates into iTunes was select, hit "get info" and click OK without changing anything. That broke in 9.2 - it still recognized that the file has changed and adjusts the Date Modified field, but doesn't actually update any of the fields.
    The revised tags don't get updated until you either Get Info individually on each file, play the file, or modify the files. So realistically, there are no workarounds - the first two aren't realistic for a full library and the latter trashes your modification date and causes the refresh to take hours to complete if the library is on a remote server, rather than the ten minutes it used to take.

    Hi,
    I've written a script called UpdateTagInfo which should do the trick for you. Just select a bunch of tracks or an appropriate playlist and call the script. It will process each track, updating the tags if they've been changed externally. When complete it will tell you how many tracks were processed & how many were updated.
