Re-download a Software Update to a Deployment Package

Hi,
Is there a way to force SCCM to re-download a Software Update into a Deployment Package?
When you download a Software Update (right-click the update and click download), the wizard asks which Deployment Package to add it to (an existing package or create a new one). The update is then downloaded to the UNC path specified in the package
with each update under a different directory (named as a GUID).
My issue is that many of these GUID directories have been accidentally deleted from the UNC path. I know how it happened and that isn't the issue here - I simply want to download the updates again. I would like to right-click my Software Update
group, select "Download", point it to the existing package and have all the updates download again.
When I try and do this, the wizard works fine and it processes each update and says "Success" - however, they are not actually re-downloaded! It's like there is a link somewhere between the update and the package such that it knows it should
already be there and therefore it skips over it without actually checking whether it really does exist.
Is there a way to force SCCM 2012 to ignore the fact that it thinks the update is already there and re-download it? What I really want to do is change the "Downloaded" field from "Yes" to "No" which I think would achieve
what I want to do - I just can't find a way to do it.
What am I missing?
Cheers,
David

I had this same basic problem on a new SCCM 2012 R2 suite I built. I made all the Software Update Groups and Packages and deployed them. They all worked except for the one for Office 2010. Errors said could not process that package, couldn't find a
folder within the source location for the package, and on the DPs the Office 2010 package was there but had 0 for the size of the package.
I deleted the Office 2010 source update folder and package. Then you go to the updates in question, r-click and select deploy (it'll let you do that even if it thinks it's already deployed), create the new package, let the download run, r-click, and edit
membership as needed, and deploy. This worked for me.

I was propmted to download a software update and now my ipad has frozen

I set the ipad to download the software update as prompted. I was prompted to connect the ipad to the mains electricity before running the update. I inadvertently (stupidly) forgot to switch on at the wall socket and left the download to run overnight. When I looked at the ipad the following morning the screen displayed the itunes symbol in the centre and what looks like a usb cable leading from this symbol to the home button. I realised I hadn't switched on the mains socket and did so then left the ipad for 24 hours to charge.
Now when I switch on I get the apple symbol and then the same itune and usb cable image and then the machine switches itself off again immediately.
Help please!!

Hi..
Place the iPad in recovery mode > iOS: Unable to update or restore

Is it possible to download only Software Updates for multiple Macs.

We currently have two 24inch iMacs, a 15 inch and a 17 inch MacBook Pro and a MacBook and only have limited download speeds in our regional area and only 1 Gb of data download allowance a month. Is there any way we can "download only" software updates on one computer and transfer the update to the other systems in Snow Leopard, like we did in Leopard. This does not appear to be possible in Snow Leopard. For us to upgrade all computers to 10.6.5, we would blow our data allowance for 2.5 months. And this does not take into account all the other updates that are available for installed Apple software. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

well, one way of doing that is to get the stand alone installer packages from [here|http://support.apple.com/downloads>, then either mount the .dmg's from the other Mac(s) or copy the .dmg's over the network.
i actually prefer this over software download - i usually install new software while booted into _*safe mode*_.

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

I am unable to download ANY software updates whatsoever...

I am unable to download any software updates, whether it be Microsoft Office, Adobe or Apple updates. I run the update and I always ultimately get a message that there was an error (unspecified) and the update (du jour) could not be downloaded. I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and have been unable to update to any newer version as a result of this issue. Any suggestions?

First things first.
Microsoft Office updates you get here:

Adobe updates you get here:

Apple updates use Software Update.

Problems trying to download iPod Software Update 2.0

Ive been trying to download the software update for about 3 hours now, but about every 5 minutes or less i get a error saying:
'There was a problem with the iPod software for the iPod "MyName iPod". The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.'
But, i'm having no problems whatsoever with my connection, it all seems perfectly fine to me.
If anyone could help me at all with any settings that might be able to be changed or something or anything that could stop this message appearing so that my download will actually be able to get somewhere...
Thanks x

I am having this same issue trying to download the 1.1.5 update for my touch, it goes for a while then times out, over and over.
Over the last 18 hours I have tried this update about 30 times and it has failed every time, never at the same point, it downloads a different amount every time but it always stops...
No information from Apple on this issue ? Poor show, I would have expected better from the worlds best computer manufacturer, they give the impression that they think of everything but then it´s little things like this that let them down.

I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

Can I still download iPod software updates? iPod is out of warranty.

Can I still download iPod software updates?
Yes, assuming they're compatible with that iPod model. iOS 4 can't be used on the original iPod touch.

This only affects how long Apple will freely provide technical support, repairs to, or replacement of the device.

I suggest you go ask RedHat your question.
It is their product, not Oracle's product.
Go get your answer directly from the company that created that OS distro.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You will only find the Software Update option if you have got iOS 5 or newer, and you say you are using iOS 4, so first you need to use iTunes to update your iPad to the most recent version, which is iOS 7.1 > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623

Is your data backed up? IF not, you must before installing anything new:

What updates are you trying to download? Have you tried googling the download links directly?
Just lookup

When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message

When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message (stopped err = -3259). Is there a solution for this???

Did anyone solve this?
I'm still having this issue. I also had the same issue when trying to download a large update for an app (43MB). I can download and install smaller udpates but I can't even download the large updates. I've checked all of my firewall settings and they are fine. I've turned off the firewall when trying to download the update and it still does not work. It just keeps saying that my network connection timed out.
I'm not at the stage where I can't install new apps because it requires the latest OS version on my iphone which I can't get!

Downloading Ipod software update 3.1.1 but get error 3259

What is wrong? I cannot seem to completely download the software update. After partially downloading the file, an error appears that the connection was timed out. Status: stopped (err = -3259)
I do not have a firewall up nor do I have anti-virus software. I'm running itunes 9.

Ok, I'm told that it's a timeout error due to internet connection. For whatever reason, when I tried downloading it again during the day, it worked fine. I don't know what the big difference would be from night to day.
An apple expert emailed me:
I understand that you are receiving a message about connection error 3259 when trying to download your purchases.
I have confirmed that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. Therefore, the issue is likely related to your Internet connection, local network, or computer. I'm happy to provide some information that should help you connect to the iTunes Store again.
Error 3259 is a network timeout error. Sometimes this error can be caused by software on your computer that slows down the network connection. This error can also appear if you are downloading multiple items. I'd like to provide some steps that should help you successfully download your purchases.
It often helps to pause the download and then download items one at a time. These steps will walk you through doing this:
1) Open iTunes.
2) From the Store menu at the top, choose Check for Available Downloads. If you're unable to upgrade and are using iTunes 7, the option will say Check for Purchases.
3) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. Your purchases should begin downloading.
4) Under the STORE section on the left, click Downloads.
5) Click the Pause All button in the lower-right corner. This will temporarily pause all of your downloads.
6) To resume only one of the downloads, click the refresh button that appears to the right of one of the paused downloads.
Certain types of software can affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the Internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
- Firewalls
- Web accelerators
- Ad filters
- Virus protection software
If you have any of this kind of software installed on your computer, you will need to configure each of the applications to allow your internet connection to access iTunes freely. For instructions, please refer to the documentation that came with that software, or contact the software's manufacturer. You'll need to configure the software to allow these domains to send and receive data from the Internet freely:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
For assistance in configuring your firewall or accelerator software, you may need to contact the manufacturer or your Internet service provider (ISP). When contacting their support representatives, it may be useful to have the following information:
"Well Known" TCP and UDP Ports Used By Apple Software Products
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
The following article helps Windows users pinpoint software conflicts that could cause the error:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
Once you have managed to allow access to iTunes through other software, please follow these instructions:
1) Sign out of the iTunes Store.
2) Quit the iTunes application.
3) Restart your computer.
4) Open iTunes.
5) Select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu at the top of iTunes, (if you're unable to upgrade and are using iTunes 7, you'll choose Check for Purchases).
If you can't find this option, you can also click this link to do the same thing:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/checkForPurchases
6) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. The missing item should begin downloading and appear in your Purchased playlist.
Please note that the iTunes Store cannot investigate every user's connection issue. Apple Discussions are another source of information about iTunes, where everyone from new users to professionals can interact and share their knowledge and experiences. You may find another user with the same operating system or ISP that may be able to help resolve this issue. You can find the iTunes discussions group at:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/itunes
If you are using a dial-up connection, you might consider downloading your purchases over a broadband connection, if you have access to one.
I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping at the iTunes Store.

I was downloading the software update for ipod touch 2gen and after it was done downloading it showed that there was an error with my ipod and when i saw it was on the lockscreen loading. its been like this for 4 hours already

What did the error message say?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
