Why do my updates repeat?

It seems that I'll do an update successfully, then a couple of days later the same update comes up. WTH? I thought the Appstore kept track of my stuff.
I have a rather slow 'net connection, so these repeated downloads are a pain.

Carolyn Samit, Thanks for letting me know that it is a "known issue" -- (I would have expected Apple to make that known---   ).
   I will verify "release date" in the future and abort.
My slow connection is DSL at the far limits of servicability, as far as wire length from the telco equipment station goes.

  • Why does JRockit updates lag behind Sun's?

    If I understand correctly, JRockit's class libraries are exactly the same as Sun's.
    Sun has already released update 8 for their 1.5.0 JRE, and JRockit is still at update 6, which means that the class library bugs fixed in update 7 and 8 are still present in JRockit.
    Why does JRockit updates lag behind Sun's? Judging by [url http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=600038245&tstart=0]this post, this lag is measured in months!
    Doesn't the VM development happen separate from the class libraries? It should be possible to release a new JRE with the "stable", QA'd JRockit VM and the newest class library (with all its bug fixes) within a week or so, instead of months.

    The class libraries are almost identical, correct. But a JDK update from Sun almost always contains changes in other components than just the class libraries. Some of these affect JRockit, in particular the native libraries (AWT, I/O, etc). Changes in the class libraries may cause performance or stability regressions.
    With every release of JRockit we certify our JDK (Sun classes + JRockit JVM + other components) on a large number of platforms. We did a count earlier this year and came up with around 80 different combinations of JDK level, OS and hardware that we have to test in every release by the end of this year.
    On these platforms we run a huge set of tests, including performance and stress tests. Even though a large part of our QA is automated, it is simply not possible to run everything in parallel so there is a certain minimum amount of time this certification takes. On top of that we have a set of time-consuming tests that have to be run manually.
    To summarize it is simply not possible to do this without some lag. And JRockit has a much quicker uptake than almost all other 3rd party JDK providers (many of them with JVMs based on Sun HotSpot). One example is that it took IBM almost 18 months to get their first J2SE 5.0 implementation out of the door.

  • HT5642 I need to update iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad2 to 6.1.6, due to security issue. Why is no update available? I do NOT want to install iOS 7, due to memory limitations.

    I need to update iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad2 to 6.1.6, due to security issue. Why is no update available? I do NOT want to install iOS 7, due to memory limitations.

    Any upgrade will be to the most recent, compatible version, in this case 7.0.6.

  • Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?

    Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?
    I am trying this. Take an object, move it some inches on the right while holding the option key, so I duplicate it.
    Usually, I pressed on command+d to duplicate this action on and on (duplicate the object and moving it some inches away), but now it is not working.
    any idea?

    kwakoo,
    It may be time for the list:
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Why is Java update asking me to install openoffice?

    I have installed Java jdk 1.6.
    Now the update notification is asking me if I want to install openoffice.
    I am not interested in that kind of notifications. (By the way I already have installed open office)
    There needs to be a differentiation between java updates and other updates (3th party tools). Then I can switch off that kind of notifications.
    I am only interested in Java updates.
    Why is Java update asking me to install openoffice?
    Thanks and regards,
    Cees

    It's probably asking you to update to iOS 8.2, which includes support for the upcoming Apple Watch.

  • Why is the update so enormous?

    Why is the update to 2.2.0.245 100MB? Can't you just update the components that need updating?
    It's a waste of (expensive) data.

    Stu Ducklow
    Why is my finder so slow to update. For example, if I
    download a file (using Safari), I can't find it on
    the desktop. If I use Find at the Finder level, it
    says it's there, but I can't see it.
    Same thing happens with Mail, trying to attach a PDF
    I just made. Mail can't see it.
    I love all the wondrous glitz of OSX, but wouldn't it
    be nice if it could do the basic stuff as well as
    System 6? At the rate Apple's going, we'll probably
    get a breathless announcement about a spanking-new OS
    called Snail, which doesn't do anything but look
    pretty.
    Stu,
    Did you ever get an answer to this? My finder is pathetically slow to update, a minor irritation a dozen times a day. System 9 never had this problem. Is there a way to get my expensive computer to do this simple task? Is there any news on this?
    thanks,

  • Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

    I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
    But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
    We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
    We waiting for
    Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
    Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
    Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
    Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
    Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
    Usability and performance improvements.
    Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
    But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
    It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
    So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
    Best Regards,
    Kevin

    Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
    We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
    Regards
    Sheldrick
    Press the 'Accept As Solution' icon if I have solved your problem, Kudos my post if my advice has helped you!

  • HT6601 Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?

    Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?  Why wasn't I given the opportunity to refuse the update?  Isn't this update meant to stop this unauthorised access to my computer?  Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?

    So what  are your preferences set as regarding updates?
    And, are you running ML as shown in your profile?
    And, I downloaded and installed this update because there was a possible security issue; however, I have all automatic software update checks and downloads turned off, so i downloaded it manually as it was critical to install it as long as you are using the internet.
    Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
    Why would you suspect that?

    my ipod touch says that it is updated. I am running 6.1.3 . Why wont it update to 7?

    Lots of things in the world stink. It stinks that my car isn't a hybrid so I'm stuck with lower gas mileage. It stinks that my TV doesn't support 4K movies. It stinks that my printer isn't color. It's what we just have to live with it if we're not willing to purchase new products.

  • TS2529 why i cant update for more than ios 4.2

    Because your iPhone 3G is now more than four years old and cannot be updated any further.
    I recommend you consider updating your iPhone hardware.

    Why I cant update my iPad3 to ios6? It always says: "an error occured downloading iOS 6.0.1"
    Is this bcoz of wifi connection or what? Ty!

    Did you try updating with the iPad directly?
    You need Wi-Fi connection and power supply from the wall socket.
    Or through the computer iTunes?
    If computer iTunes, make sure your anti-virus and firewall are off before you try.

    We don't know because update function is hidden so deep in the Menu bar's help item that many people don't even know about it.  Now you are telling us that an icon is on your desktop so this is completely unusual.
    Are you sure it is not the icon for the PSE10 to make it easy for you to launch it?  Can you post a screenshot of what is on your desktop.
    We look forward to hearing from you soon.
