Is there a software application that has the capacity to survey your application set and tell you which ones have pending updates?

Yes, you can try AppFresh:

Remote Updating Software Applications

I'm building a Software Application that, at selected times, must check the lastest release version, and update itself if needed. Is there a simple interface or API for this functionality?
Thanks,
Jeremy

The Netbeans IDE does this on a regular basis (the checking bit) I'm not sure if the api is easily available(ie easy to take and reuse) but you could have a look at the source.

Still Happening - Software HANGING while "Checking for device application updates...."

Windows Vista v4.7 of Blackberry Desktop Software
As soon as I plug my Blackberry in, the desktop software pops up message: "Checking for device application updates....." and it hangs.
I've tried rebooting, re-installing the Desktop Software and sometimes this will solve the problem for a few syncs, but it always comes back.
I tried changing the USB connection from my USB hub directly into the back of the computer and this fixed the problem for a few syncs but now it's BACK AGAIN!!!
Please help!!

I'm having this problem with Windows 7, build 7000. If I unplug my USB connection, the desktop manager seems to unblock, then stops again. Is there an issue with the device driver, jvm incompatabilities?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I was updating my iphone 4 on computer on itunes. After 45 mins or so, I got message that software was updated. But my iphone needed to be restored as it is in recovery mode. it staes that all data will be deleted!! Will I be able to recover data, apps, photos, etc? My phone will not even allow me to use it....it just has picture of itunes with connector on screen. HELP!

If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost ALL of the data on the phone. Your only choice now is to restore it from your most recent backup. You follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Any data, on your phone, not backed up or in supported applications on your computer, is gone. iTunes content you can re-download for free.

How to disable software auto update from iPad

I was trying to download my favorite programs and iOS 7, but first I have to stop software auto update, how will I do this?

The actuall problem I'm trying to fix is the following error:
<pre>
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
The other application is: PackageKit
Memory : 45 M RSS (357 MB VSZ)
Started: Tue Jul 10 09:27:04 2012 - 04:09 ago
State : Sleeping, pid: 2317
</pre>
The above error can happen if you have an active Gnome session and e.g. connect as root using ssh session and try to use yum.
I may have found a way now to disable the automatic system updates, however, I don't know if this is the proper solution since I cannot find any information about it.
I modified */etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf* and changed:
<pre>
DefaultBackend=yum -> DefaultBackend=nobackend
</pre>
It requires a re-login of your Gnome X session to take affect.
Then Administration/Software update does no longer scan for updates, and apparently no longer lock yum at the system level. At least the problem seems to be fixed globally that way.
I will mark this question as answered, but any ideas are still welcome.
Thanks!
Btw, here is a link to previous older thread to disable it on a per-user basis:

Pro applications update wont install

pro applications update wont install
has anyone had this problem, or does anyone know a solution?

I'm having this same problem. After installing Logic Studio last night I ran Software Update which updated my software but skipped ProApplications Update 2007-1. It went straight to ProApplications Update 2007-2 and told me there was an error installing Update 2007-1. So I came here, downloaded Updated 2007-1 on its own and installed it without a problem. Now whenever I run Software Update it tries to install ProApplications Updated 2007-2 but tells me there is an error. I tried the link to the update and am redirected to a Final Cut Studio page and asked for my Final Cut Studio serial number--but I don't have Final Cut Studio. I have Logic Studio.
Any suggestions on how to rectify this?

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

The registry method does not work with 8.1. I found this out the hard way. Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

Submit button in Compressor disabled after update Pro Applications Update 2010-02

Dear all,
I recently bought FCS and the whole software works fine after installation. However, I had to use Compressor over the last couple of days and the submit button was completely disabled and in the cluster field the option this computer had dissapeard. I checked this forum for a solution and found it. It seems that the problem was Qmaster. After reinstalling both Qmaster and Compressor everything works again. I have use the following set of instructions:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/how_to_reinstall_compressor_and_qmast er.html
The problem is that now each time I do a software update, I am asked to install the Pro Applications Update 2010-02. After installing this update, the problem occurs again (the submit button is grayed/greyed out). It seems that in my computer the update creates a problem.
Does anyone have the same issue and if so, what suggestion you recommend?. At the moment I am avoiding the update, but I may me missing important bug and other fixes.
Thanks a lot,
Oliver

I have experimented a bit and got the problem sorted. Iuninstalled FCS using the uninstaller from http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/.Before installing the whole suite again, I realised there was and additionalApple Qmaster package in the Applications folder. I deleted this file and emptythe trash. Then did a fresh installation of FCS, performed an update andinstalled Pro Applications Update 2010-02.
And now all is up and running workingperfectly.

I need pro applications update 2008-02

I recently updated several FCP stations with the Pro Applications Update 2008-02, but for some reason it only changed FCP from 6.0.1 to 6.0.4 on one of them. So I retried performing the update, but nothing comes up. Then I tryed manually downloading it, but the now the version update (pro applications update 2008-03) changed to require an OS update.
The administrators will not allow me to update the OS in order to get this new update because of the other software apps on the computers in this lab, and the fact that it could cause problems with other software.
Is there anywhere where I can get the old Pro Applications Update 2008-02?

I need to make a slight correction...
The Pro Apps Update 2008-003 should still contain the FCP 6.0.4 installer. The trend I've seen with new updates such as these is that they still contain the necessary installers from previous releases. Our systems here are still running FCP 6.0.3 with no plans to upgrade just yet, so I haven't tested this out just yet. But I still have previous updates archived to the iDisk.

Pro Applications Update didn't update

I had a problem with an error message saying the "file is too new for this version of the software.
I have FCP 6 (part of Final Cut Studio 2)
I read here that the fix to the problem is an update which I just downloaded and installed, but my FCP 6 was not updated. In the "about" it shows version 6.0
When I tried to open the files, I still get the same message.

In fact I just noticed that earlier this year I also updated Pro Applications Update 2008-01
The update I made today is 2008-02
When I check the FCP6 Application Info, it still shows version 6.0 and it hasn't been modified since 2007.
Why would the updates not update my FCP6?

Pro Applications Update 2010-02 installed, but not installed.

I downloaded and installed the latest software update and it said it was successfully installed, but when I look at the applications, they are not updated (e.g. Compressor is version 3.5.2 when it should be 3.5.3). I have opened the applications just to check for the new features, but they are not there.
Is there something I'm not doing? Would reinstalling the apps do anything?

I was having the same problem on two of my older systems. It seemed like every week (automatically) or anytime I manually ran software update, it would recommend "Pro Applications Update 2008-05 1.0 3.1 MB". This seem to be a looping problem and it continued even after applying the update. I replaced one of my computers and being a new computer I was not having any problems. Later I upgraded my hard drive and chose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Case Sensitive" as the format for my new drive. About a week later the problem started happening on my new computer with a new drive. I also noticed some applications that I migrated over were acting strange. So I re-formatted my drive "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and the problem has seemed to have gone away. I think some applications and utilities including "software update" (in some instances) may not like a case sensitive file system. Also note that Apple ships their computers Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and I wonder how many companies including Apple beta test both "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Case Sensitive" and "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Any application that writes to a intermediate file on the filesystem or relies on reading and writing to files on the file system could potentially be affected if it were developed on a non case sensitive systems and later deployed on a system that was case sensitive.

Pro Applications Update 2007-01 v1.0

Why am I getting this update notification ? I have fresh install of Leopard with all updates installed, and just few third party applications I use for my business. Not one of them has anything to do with this update.
Inside the description pane of this update, it says:
"...Pro Application Update 2007-01 includes fixes to underlying frameworks and shared components for the updated Final Cut Studio 2 applications.
For further information about this release, go to: Release Notes..."
I have never ever had Final Cut Studio not I have any clue what is it for... so, why do I still get this notification. I'd rather not install anything that I won't use in the future.
So my question is... why do I need this update and if not, how can I stop it from showing up in my Software updates window. In Windows it was easy, just uncheck some update you don't need, right click it and choose HIDE UPDATE.
Thanks in advance!

Ok thank you Paul!
But... still wondering what does this update do ? I don't want to skip it if there are some important things it fixes. Is it really just for Final Cut Studio 2 applications ? And why do I get notified on this update when I don't even have this application installed ?
Others received this update too ?
It's simply a error. You should not be receiving this. Many received a Remote Desktop update late last year which was also a mistake. Nothing is perfect. Not even Apple
Run software update and when this shows up, under "Update" in the top left menu, select "Ignore" and ignore it.
if you install it and do not have the requisite software you may start getting a warning when you do a preference verify/repair, as did many of us with the infamous Network Update, which went away with one of the recent OS updates.
I put the Remote Desktop update on Ignore on this computer, and after one of the OS updates, it disappeared.
Stuff happens. It's not a perfect world.

Pro Applications Update 2008-02 Update for Logic Studio Owners?

I received Compressor 3.0.3 as part of the Logic Studio 8 bundle.
Pro Applications Update 2008-02 states that it upgrades Compressor 3.0.3, however, Software Update does not offer to update Compressor nor can I download it manually since it is demanding that I provide a Final Cut Pro serial number (which I do not have, I have only the Logic Studio serial number which it won't take).
Does anyone have any idea what Logic Studio owners are supposed to do to obtain Pro Applications Update 2008-02?
Dave

Well, I would agree except that the update specifically provides an update for Compressor 3.0.3 which Logic Studio owners have as well and the update description states that it is recommended for all Logic Studio users.
"Pro Applications Updates improve reliability for Apple's professional applications and are recommended for all users of Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Server, and Logic Studio.
Pro Applications Update 2008-02 addresses installation issues, compatibility updates, and general performance issues and improves overall stability.
Applications included in the update:
Final Cut Pro 6.0.4
Compressor 3.0.3"
