How to install ipa update without destroying user data

Hi - hopefully this is an easy one...
I'm getting near the end of my iPad app development... at this point I can store files locally on the iPad from my AIR app.
But everytime I make a change to the app and republish the ipa, the only way I know how to get it on my iPad is to delete the app on the iPad, then install the new version through iTunes. This works, but it blows away any locally saved 'user' files.
So how can i put a new ipa update on the device without losing stored data, similar to downloading an update from the app store?
Thanks

That's what I'd like to do, but I'm just fumbling through iTunes - I drop the new ipa into my 'Apps' (under library), then go to my device to Sync, but it never installs the new version. It seems to think I'm already 'synced', even though the ipa is new. I must be missing something basic. Also, the ipa is in 'Quick publishing for device testing mode'... Perhaps it needs to be published for Ad-hoc distribution?

Build and Capture - How to install software updates without joining domain

Due to security policy, can't join domain before the patch installation.
I want to know the detail steps. I only set SMSMP when install Configuration Manager, but in the end, NO updates are installed.
Do I miss some steps? what are the detail steps?

HI Jorgen
Sorry for my poor English!
You mean I should create two new collections, one is X86,
another is X64.
Add the "Unknow Computer"
object,
that I want to build and capture, into the two collections
Deploy the patches to the two collections
Do I correct?

How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc

1a) Here is very useful article from PCWorld.com. The article is entitled "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" and means just what it says. The article also has links to Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder and legitimate Windows 7 ISOs from Digital River, a licensed distributor of Microsoft software. The article lists "Step 1" as;
"Find your Windows 7 product key: Typically this 25-character alphanumeric string is printed on a sticker affixed to your PC or on documentation included with your PC. Alternatively, you can use a keyfinder program such as Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder to pull your product key from the Registry. You need your product key to reinstall Windows."
1b) Using a key finder, however, is only useful if the Windows 7 product key was printed on a sticker (Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity) affixed to your PC, on documentation included with your PC, or sent via email by Microsoft. Assuming your computer came from one of the big brand computer manufacturers... HP, Sony, Dell, Gateway, etc... as most do, it uses a generic "mass activation" OEM SLP key. Trying to use this key by itself isn't going to work. This OEM SLP key needs to be mated with an OEM SLP certificate and an appropriate OEM BIOS with a proper SLIC table.
1c) Here is where ABR Beta With Windows 7 Support comes to the rescue. Follow the "How to use it" section of ABR for Windows Vista for information and instructions on how to use ABR. The steps listed for Vista apply to Windows 7 as well. Perform the "activation backup" to "backup" and save the OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate. Save the entire ABR folder to an external location for later use. This will allow you to pre-activate your "clean" Windows 7 install on the computer you pulled the key and certificate from.
1d) Now install Windows 7 from your new "Windows 7" disc or USB stick, following all prompts as needed. Don't enter a Windows 7 product key if request. Also, don't allow Windows to try to auto-activate. Once Windows is fully installed, run ABR "activation restore" to "restore" the previously backed up product key and certificate to the new Windows 7 install. Verify that Windows is activated, repeat "activation restore" if needed.
2) Here is another useful article, this time from SevenForums.com. This arcticle is entitled "Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7" and provides detailed steps required to backup your computer, audit current hardware and software, locate software and drivers, install and activate Windows 7, and create a Windows 7 Backup Image of your fresh install.
Good luck.
Links to additional Windows 7 SP1 "Editions" and "Languages" can be found HERE and HERE.
Link to "ei.cfg Removal Utility". The "ei.cfg Removal Utility" is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg from any Windows ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup instead of being forced to use different discs for different versions of Windows 7.

ervis,
Before formatting the hard drive you should have been able to use the HP Recovery Manager to create your recovery discs or perform a system recovery. This is provided the recovery partition wasn't already corrupt or damaged. If the "D:" HP Recovery partition is missing or damaged and you don't have a set of HP Recovery Discs, you will need to use the information in my previous post to get your computer up and running again.
The information in the document referred you to applies to several different "types" of installations;
Using ABRbeta is only needed if you have an active OEM factory SLP (system locked preactivated) installation of Windows. You use ABR to pull the factory key and certificate off the computer, to reuse it on the same computer with a clean Windows install.
If you are just installing Windows and are going to use the Windows 7 product key on the COA on the side of your computer, all you need to do is download the same version of Windows that your key is for and burn the ISO. Now install Windows answering or following all prompts as needed (except do not enter the Windows product at this time... it will be entered later). Once Windows has completely installed, enter the key and activate it. Your Windows 7 OA key should work on a SP1 install without issue.
The only thing I see that could mess things up, is the language of the install. If you are still having trouble activating Windows, please reference the ISO you download and a post a photo of your Windows COA
with the key erased or Xed out.
Please send KUDOs

That field is not for attempting to fit your entire question in there.

Can someone please let me know what the installation procedure is.

Sorry but this is very irresponsible
Im not sure but the file seems to be a Toshiba utilities for win XP.

You'll need to have access to some sort of database account to use the tool. If you just loaded the tool onto a machine, Disco is not going to be useful - you need to create an end user layer, and business areas.

Tis a bummer. It is not a bad idea to have a cheap usb keyboard and mouse around for future troubleshooting purposes, but I am not sure that will get you past this.
Have you tried plugging stuff in to see if it works? I don't have a happy feeling that it will but it couldn't hurt to try.

If you still have the old computer see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If you don't have your old computer, but you made regular backups of it, restore the most recent backup using the backup software that you used to make the backup. You will have to read the instructions for it.
If you don't have your old computer and you did not back it up regularly see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

How do I clear updated apps listed by date in the Updates section of the App Store app?

How do I clear updated apps listed by date in the Updates section of the App Store app?

Hi rowiny,
depending on what exactly you mean with "clear", it is a bug. See this thread: App Store Updates Do Not Clear
If you update your App's via iTunes, and not "over the air", the badge count on the AppStore-app icon is wrong, and the list shows "available updates" that you can open in the new version. The listing under "Updated #date#" lists only updates that were done OTA in the last month.

How do I install Flashplayer updates without McAfee

I want to install Flashplay updates (for which I'm prompted) without installing McAfee virus checker. This very long dialogue thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056732?start=0&tstart=0 claims (from staff) that you can uncheck a box so it is not installed. I did NOT get a checkbox. I clicked to run installation and a dialogue box came up indicating that both Flash and McAfee had started to install. When it finished both were installed.
Is it possible to install Flash without McAfee? If not can someone tell me that I need to uninstall it after installation. I may be wrong, but you boys may be running into problems here. I've had problems before with two different virus checkers installed. If someone had a security violation and it was found that a conflict had caused the problem, and that the McAfee had been forcibly installed you might run into trouble.
You are installing software on my private machine without my authority.
I'm just saying.

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer) <---Use for IE in XP, Vista, 7 - NOT for IE in Win 8 or 8.1
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers) <---For Firefox, Opera, Safari - Chrome has it's own built in, and cannot be installed from here
MSI Installer (ActiveX) <---Use if you see a "Failed to register ActiveX" error
MSI Installer (Other browsers)<---Use if you see any error with the "other browser" plug-in

Per the EULA... when you click "Download", you agree to accept ANY files you don't specifically opt out of. Adobe's legal team spent numerous hours making sure that the EULA and downloaders are in compliance with applicable laws, and will stand up to any legal challenge.
