Update patches vs re-downloading application

I understand with 'major' new releases, we may need to redownload the application in order to upgrade.But in the past, with its 'minor' updates (small bug fixes etc), Apple has forced us to re-download the application every single time.
This is not a small application. It's 35mb! It hardly seems an efficient way to do things, considering how long this product has been around and what competing products offer. The fact that iTunes and iPods (which are not exactly cheap) are so highly integrated should also be reason enough for Apple to get its act together.

Hi:
I encounter the same error while running the patch wizard. I am going to following your advice to run adadmin. First I want to know if its okay (now I test on a DEV instance) to run update snapshot? There are 1. update complete APPL_TOP, 2. Update JAVA_TOP only, 3. Update a product_top. Which one do I pick?
Update a current view snapshot (full or partial APPL_TOP and global) -- Oracle E-Business Suite Maintenance Utilities
Thanks,

  • [HELP] how to download the update patch on metalink?

    Hi,
    You can get the up-to-date patch information through the "Patch Advisor" in Oracle Applications.
    The Patch Information Bundle, or InfoBundle, is a Zip file that contains patch metadata information and the patch readmes for currently-recommended patches in an Oracle Applications release. The Patch Information Bundle is intended for use with Patch Advisor (11.5.9) and Patch Wizard (11.5.10).
    It is generated daily by the Automated Release Update (ARU) system, and is available for download from OracleMetaLink.
    Each Oracle Applications patch contains metadata that includes prerequisite patch information and a manifest for all files in the patch including their version numbers.
    The patch metadata LDT files are FNDLOAD data files included in the top-level directory of all recent patches. The Patch Information Bundle metadata includes information about the relationships between patches.
    Patch Advisor and Patch Wizard allow you to load the Patch Information Bundle data, including LDT files and readme files, into the Oracle Applications database.
    The utilities compare the recommended patches included in the Patch Information Bundle with the versions of files on the Oracle Applications file system and then create a report of the specific recommended patches for a particular system.

  • My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

    My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
    It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
    Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

    Hi, sallymaesmag. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are in the Philippines, check to see if the country is changed in the iTunes Store settings on the iOS device.  These steps will show you how to change the preference.
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. TapSettings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

    Once you make the change attempt to download applications again.

  • Why does my iPod say "Unable to Download Application"? Other apps will download just fine and updating apps isn't an issue either, it's just this one app.

    A few days ago, I tried to redownload Sims FreePlay onto my iPod. I needed more room to update it to the latest update so the app just stayed on my screen but it's as if it's waiting to download. Today, I freed up a good 2GB of space on my iPod so the app should have no problem downloading. Instead of downloading, it says "Unable to Download Application" and that it could not be installed at this time. I downloaded a new app that downloaded with zero problems and I even updated an app with no trouble at all. I've also tried to delete the app so that I could just restart the download but nothing seems to work. Please help me. My progress that's stored on the cloud is going to expire either tomorrow or Saturday.

    That meassage and that you can downoad other apps indicates an Apple problem. Nothing you can do except keep trying.

  • Trying to update my apps: keep getting "Unable to download application"

    'Unable to download application' error message appears when I try to update most of my apps on my iphone.  Then that app freezes and is unusable indefinitely.  This started happening about a week ago. 
    I've synced it with my itunes, no change. Reset, no change. Restart, no change. Help!!!!!!

    Temporarily disable or turn off your Firewall and Anti-Virus software and try the download again.

  • SCCM Software Updates (and SCUP) vs. Application Management for 3rd Party Application Patching

    Hi,
    We're getting ready to tackle the phenomena known as Java patching, and I was wondering if I could get your personal preference; SCCM Software Updates (and SCUP) vs. Application Management for 3rd Party Application Patching?
    I probably should give a little background on my environment; It's a university atmosphere, so unless it's policy, you have to ask nicely...can't tell people to do things they don't want to; multiple version of required versions of Java for what ever reason,
    which need to be identified, grouped together, and then upgrade as much as possible without breaking their old applications.
    I was thinking that Application Management probably made more sense where it is more robust, especially for removing multiple installs of Java on a single system, but Software Updates/SCUP looks like it was built for this type of patching, so I'm a bit confused
    why SCCM would have two components which essentially did the same thing.
    Your thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    For Java version management specifically you can already achieve a lot by using the Application Model in CM12.
    You can define supersedence between the different versions, just make sure to opt for uninstall of the older version when defining it.

  • Unable to download application updates

    Since installing SL a few days ago I am unable to download applications eg .dmg or .exe as I get the message:
    ".... could not be saved because you cannot change the contents of that folder...."
    The location in question is usually the desktop although even changing the download location does not alter the message.
    Seem to be able to run software update without any problem. Problem first and repeatedly occurred trying to update version of firefox.
    I have run disk utility as I thought it might be a permissions thing but no change.
    Any thoughts?

    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions one more time.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

  • HT4414 Issue: Apps won't update. Get pop-up stating, "Unable to Download Application. Evernote and/or apps updating cannot be downloaded at this time." WHY? What do I need to do?

    ISSUE: Apps won't update. Get pop-up stating, "Unable to Download Application., 'Evernote' or any app could not be downloaded at this time." How do I resolve this issue?

    See if either of these two things help.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

  • Help, My iphone can't load any of the downloaded application ever since i updated my phone last night through itunes!! And its telling me that it is error 1004!

    HELP!! My iphone 4 can't load any of the downloaded application such as Facebook and games etc ever since i updated my phone last night through itunes and it indicates that it has an error 1004.
    Anyone has any idea how to fix this ?

    If the error occurred during the update you need to redo the update, as it corrupted something on your phone. Knowledge Base article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 says:
    Error 1004 and 1013: This error may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being blocked, redirected, or interrupted.  Adjust your hosts file or security software to ensure that connections to gs.apple.com are not blocked. If the issue persists, try restoring on another computer with a known-good connection. If this restore is successful, you will need to contact whoever supports your install of the operating system and security software installed on your computer for assistance. If your hosts file redirects requests to gs.apple.com, you may choose to follow Can't connect to the iTunes Store, in the "The 'hosts' file may be blocking the iTunes Store" section.
    This usually happens if you have used a hacking program like Tinyumbrella on your computer sometime in the past.

  • Unable to install updates nor exclusive features; Adobe Application Manager damaged?

    I've acquired a Spanish student's subscription of Adobe Creative Cloud, and downloaded Photoshop CS6 Extended, Flash CS6 Professional and Illustrator CS6. However, I have two issues related to downloading updates:
    When I try to update or download an application, the Adobe Application Manager shows the message "Downloading error | Adobe Application Manager is damaged and it is necessary to resinstall it. Download it now or contact with customer's support."
    However I reinstalled AAM three times, but instead of reinstalling, shows the message "Updating Adobe Application Manager" and after the installation, running AAM again shows the same message.
    I cannot access to the Adobe Creative Cloud exclusive features of Photoshop and Illustrator, showing the application as if it was activated by a serial, and not by subscription.
    I am using a Windows Vista 32-bit operating system.
    Update: The version of AAM is 6.2

    I have the same issue, particularly with Pixel Bender 2.5, all the other upgrades get installed correctly without trouble but this one always fail, the message I get is the same one every time:
    Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5 Update
      Installation failed
    Can you point me in the right direction? It seems to me that the patch is faulty.
    Thanks.
    Update 01/15/2011
    Here's another update on my issue with Adobe Application Manager, I just realized today that actually none of the available upgrades got installed. Although it only marks an error with Pixel Bender, other components such as Photoshop, Premiere and others aren't being upgraded either even when the program tells you otherwise, what I mean is that for example there's Photoshop 12.0.2 available for download so I click on "Update"; the files get downloaded and installed with no error message being displayed but when I check the software it is still version 12.0.1, the same is happening with Premiere and another one, can't remember which one.
    This is additional to the issue of Pixel Bender being unable to upgrade.
    Please advise,
    Thanks,
    David.
    Update 01/16/2011
    I tried to download all the available updates individually from the Adobe website, the only one that went through was Photoshop, but then when I double clicked it to install it the same faulty application manager launched and I got the same behavior than before, it runs the installation and displays a message that states that everything was installed correctly, yet there no upgrade performed.
    All the rest of the available downloads failed to mount.
    Also the speed for download is excessively low, I checked my connection and the issue is not on my end, but yours.
    This is starting to become very frustrating.
