Universal OS download for different generation Phone and Touch?

I have an iPhone 3g and 3gs as well as two Touches both different generations. They are all synched to the same Macbook Pro and I try to keep the OS's on the same release as it keeps it easier... What I would like to find is a universal download for all platforms.
Each time I connect a different device there is a new 200mb+ download. I have to assume that much of that code is duplicated. If iTunes can distinguish which device is connected, why can't it identify the right pieces of the OS to install on each device? Give me a choice to download on 400mb+(random guess on universal size) file as opposed to 4 200mb+ files...

This is the way that Apple does it.

    Hey John,
    If you are having an issue with emojis on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC

    How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC. l lose all internet account I've three year. i lose my phone all app for a day even I safe all informating and apps in ICloud  but I lose all my phone information . Like I have new phone and I do not have all my date . For new phone i can not use over 10 apps for my phone

    You can't. But if you backed up your computer prior to wiping it out, you should be able to restore your iTunes library, contacts, photos, etc. from that backup. Once you do, you can set the phone up again and just sync everything from your library back to it.
    If you didn't back the computer up either, you can transfer items purchased on the phone into iTunes, and if you set up at least one contact in whatever application you sync your contacts to on the computer, it will offer to merge the address books on the first sync, saving those.  Any media you'd acquired from sources other than the iTunes store will have to be re-downloaded from the source or re-ripped.
    The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

  • Device Channel Rules for All mobile phones and Tablets?

    I am developing master pages for different devices, my target is to develop different master page for Desktop, Mobile phones and Tablet.
    Default device channel works for desktops, “$FallbackMobileUserAgent" works for both mobile phones and tablets but I want to design different master
    page for all tablets.
    Is there any fall back rule that targets all tablets? and any rule that targets mobile phones only?
    Update: I found "ipad" and "iphone" inclusion rule works across all apple devices.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create rule that targets mobile phones or tablets only.
    Per my knowledge, channels control which master page is used to show your site on for example iPhone or iPad. Channels are bound to master pages, and channels are bound to user agent string of device in use (phone, tablet or PC).
    You need to supply different user agent substrings and order of device channels.
    For more information, you can refer to:

  • Execute BAPI for different input values and dispaly data in a table

    Hi all,
    I have a specific problem about executing BAPI multiple times for different input values and didplay result in a table.
    I am using the code similar to the following logic.
    Bapi_Mydata_Input in = new Bapi_Mydata_Input();
    wdContext.nodeBapi_Mydata_Input().bind(in);
    String in = wdContext.currentperdataElement.getnumber();
    in.setDestination_From(10)
    wdThis.wdGetMydataComponentController().executeBapi_Mydata_Input();
    in.setDestination_From(20)
    wdThis.wdGetMydataComponentController().executeBapi_Mydata_Input();
    in.setDestination_From(30)
    wdThis.wdGetMydataComponentController().executeBapi_Mydata_Input();
    And I want to display the data in a single table. I want the result in a table for Bapi execution based on input parameters passed 10,20 30.
    But I am getting the table data only for the input parameter 30.I mean its actually display the data in table only for the last input parameter.
    So May I ask you all if you know the solution for this problem.PLease advise me with some tips .or sample code is very much appreciated.I promise to award points to the right answer/nice advises.

    Thank you in advance.

    Maruti,
    It seems that WDCopyService replaces content of node, rather then adds to content.
    Try this:
    Bapi_Persdata_Getdetailedlist_Input frelan_in = new Bapi_Persdata_Getdetailedlist_Input();
    wdContext.nodeBapi_Persdata_Getdetailedlist_Input().bind(frelan_in);
    final Collection personalData = new ArrayList();
    String fr1 = wdContext.currentE_Lfa1Element().getZzpernr1();
    frelan_in.setEmployeenumber(fr1);
    wdThis.wdGetFreLanReEngCompController().executeBapi_Persdata_Getdetailedlist_Input();
    WDCopyService.copyElements(wdContext.nodePersonaldata(), wdContext.nodeNewPersonaldata());
    for (int i = 0, c = wdContext.nodePersonaldata().size(); i < c; i++)
      personalData.add( wdContext.nodePersonaldata().getElementAt(i).model() );
    String fr2=wdContext.currentE_Lfa1Element().getZzpernr2();
    frelan_in.setEmployeenumber(fr2);
    wdThis.wdGetFreLanReEngCompController().executeBapi_Persdata_Getdetailedlist_Input();
    WDCopyService.copyElements(wdContext.nodePersonaldata(), wdContext.nodeNewPersonaldata());
    for (int i = 0, c = wdContext.nodePersonaldata().size(); i < c; i++)
      personalData.add( wdContext.nodePersonaldata().getElementAt(i).model() );
    wdContext.nodeNewPersonalData().bind( personalData );

    Yes, or simply configure 1 UDP and default device profile for the other one.

  • Lightroom 5 available as free download for Creative Cloud members, and as a perpetual license

    I was told that Lightroom 5 is now available as free download for Creative Cloud members, and as a perpetual license. How do I take advantage of this? I have creative cloud, and lightroom 4, but I dont know how to get the perpetual license.  I am also a student.

    Hi,
    You dont need perpetual license. Creative cloud membership entitles you to get Lightroom 5. Please do check that you meet the the system requirements of Lightroom: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html. If you don't have Creative cloud Membership, you can get the perpetual licence/subscription of Lightroom 5 from the link I just gave.

  • My iPad will not charge and every time I charge it. It comes up with the iTunes icon and I will not charge, it is not a new I pad and the same charger I use for the I pad I use for my I phone and it will charge. What is wrong?

    What exactlyare you seeing on the iPad's screen ? If it's the iTunes icon and a cable then that means that it's gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use that to reset it back to factory defaults and you can then restore/resync your content to it.
