Why does 'check for updates' not work?

Just curious why the updates do not work? Is it just easier to download the release2?

Check for updates is intended for use after production when we might have small changes to 1-2 files. Our current releases have many changes to many files and might almost be as large as the download. Also, we are still making structural changes to the storage of the code (shifting around preferences, etc). For the Early Adopter Releases, we really want people to download and install in a clean directory. After production, we will support check for update.

Why does "check for updates" not download new version of itunes?

On windows XP FP 3, if I start Itunes of late I get a messsage that there is a new (10.5.3) version of itunes to download. I agree to download iTunes, and itunes freezes up for a bit, then nothin. Suggestions? I am getting tired of uninstalling and reinstalling every time this happens.

Patch 1.1.3 - check for updates not working?

Hi all;
I can't get the check for updates to work.
Help/About shows I am running version 1.1.2.25, build main 25.79
Help/check for updates has the "Official Oracle extensions and Updates" and the "Oracle SQL Developer" boxes checked
When I search, it says no updates available. Do I need need to add another Update Center?
I'm running it on Windows XP, SP2
Thanks
Al

Try Help -> About -> Extensions and check the version
of Oracle SQL Developer. If this shows 1.1.3.27.66,
then you have already upgraded to 1.1.3.
Unfortunately, the version details on Help -> About
-> About are the details of the last full install -
they are not updated when upgrading via Check for
Updates.That is it. Thank you very much for your help

Check for updates not working in 9 pro

I am running Acrobat 9 pro on a Vista machine. Acrobat appears to have been malfunctioning (bates numbering is not working properly), and I uninstalled (and deactivated) Acrobat, and then reinstalled it.
After reinstallation, I used the check for updates feature in the help menu to update from 9.0 to 9.2. But now every time I run Check for updates from Help, nothing updates. I get a dialog that there is an available update, and then an icon System Tray appears and a process is active for AdobeARM.exe. But nothing ever happens-no update. I then force close the process from the task manager, and still no success in getting Acrobat to update.
What can I do? Thanks very much.

LeoAdobeX:
Thank you for your rely. Here is the more detrailed info:
1. I pulled down the Help menu and chose Check for Updates.
2. A dialog appeared that said an update was available; I clicked on the button that indicated I wanted to download and install the update
3. Nothing further appeared onscreengiving my information or choice, but an incon then appeared in the system tray for the installer.
4. Hovering over the icon does not pop up any status information. If I click, double click, or right click on the incon in the system tray nothing pops up, and nothing appears. At that point I get absolutely no response.
5. If I go to task manager at that point it shows the active process AdobeARM.exe and gives no indication of it malfunctioning. But nothing installs and nothing downloads and nothing happens.
6. If I then pull down the Help menu and chose Check forUpdates again, I get a dialog that says the updater is already running.
7. All of this occured immedaitely after I reinstalled 9 pro.
I hope this additional info helps. Thanks very much.

Why does "Check for Updates..." show that there are no updates available while I'm using Firefox 3.6.18 and latest version is 5.0.1?

First and foremost, I'd like to clarify that I hardly have any technical knowledge. So pardon me if this comes across as a silly question to the professionals. Here are the details pertaining to this problem as per the best of my limited knowledge:
I'm currently using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18; previously it was 3.6.13. It was updated to 3.6.13 from 3.6.9 after I clicked on Check for Updates... and it told me that it'd be done when I reboot my system. When I restarted my PC, I was surprised to find that it was downloading the version 3.6.18. I didn't know how much it'd progressed in the process, so I let it finish it. After that, I disabled the option that enables it to download and update on its own, and turned it off. Next time when I started it, it was 3.6.18, but wasn't updating on its own anymore.
Now I wanna update it directly to the latest version 5.0.1. But when I leave it to "'''Automatically download and install the update'''" option under Tools>Options>Advanced>Update, it downloads and updates the versions as per their release order. So if I leave it to it, then when I start it next time, it'll start downloading the version next to 3.6.18 and update to it instead of updating directly to 5.0.1. It'll keep doing so until it reaches there. For reasons of my own, I don't like that. So I '''unchecked '''the "Automatically download and install the update" option and chose the "'''Ask me what I want to do'''" option (so that it doesn't keep repeating the "downloading and updating" process on its own every time I start my PC). Then I went to Firefox site and thought of downloading and updating to the latest version on my own. But then I was informed that if I do so, '''I'll get the latest version, but I'll lose all my saved bookmarks unless I follow some hectic procedure to save them and load them again after installing the latest version of Firefox'''. I don't want to let that happen either. So, can anyone suggest me a way out of this situation without losing my bookmarks?
Almost forgot. I tried several times by going to '''Help>Check For Updates...''', but every time it returned the same result: "There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates." How come no update is available while the version I'm using is 3.6.18 and the latest version is 5.0.1? In short, '''Check for Updates...''' didn't help either. (Even when I updated it last time, shouldn't it have updated itself from version 3.6.13 to 5.0.1 directly?)
So, can anyone suggest a way by which I won't lose my bookmarks and would be able to update to the latest version directly too? An answer that wouldn't involve removing the current version and installing the latest one, but directly update to it (it's okay if it needs downloading) would be more welcome. I know that the bookmarks can be saved in a file and all, but I'd like to know if it's possible as it happened for my current version from previous version. (It downloaded and updated itself on its own, disturbing nothing, not even logged me out of certain accounts where I stay logged in. The only problem there was that it wasn't updating directly to the latest version.)
I hope the aforementioned details make sense and are helpful enough for others to help me. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

Error 11333? Check for updates not working, help please...

I got the message 11333 when I tried to open iTunes for the first time, so I checked for updates. But when I "check for updates" in iTunes, it tells me that "server could not be contacted, check your internet connections and try again". I am connected to the internet and I'm able to surf the web, so what's going on? I'm working with a PowerPC G5 with a dual processor. Version 10.5.8

Check for Updates not working

I bought the iPod Tough update and it won't work. I realized that I needed v1.1.3, but when I click on the Check for Update button, it says the iPod Software update server could not be reached.

Probably because every other person who bought a Touch is trying to do exactly the same thing. If I were a patient person, I'd wait until tomorrow and try again.
No one ever said I was a patient person.

Check for update not working for Patch 2???

I am running 1.0.0.14.67. When I run the Check For Update command it says there are no updates available even though Patch 2 is now on the OTN site. Is there anything I can try other than downloading the whole new zip and migrating my install?
Previously I have successfully used the update centre to install new patches for the various extensions, so I don't think it's a problem with my firewall settings.
Cheers, APC

Ok - one other thing. If you run check for updates, then the front "Help > About " will not change. So this will still show 1.0.0.14.67, but the Extensions tab will change. Can you just confirm that? Check out the screen shot in this FAQ. So the various extensions will show the 15.57 updates if patch 2 is already installed.
As far as I'm aware we do not have the patch set available as a separate bundle. I'll have to wake to for Kris to get in (west coast) before we can check that.

Why does restoring and updating not work?

Hi. I'm trying to restore my iPod Touch through iTunes because it has a lot of "other data" on it, 3.1GB to be exact. I've read in a lot of places including here on this site that what is needed is a restore. Well, I've been trying to do that ever since July 2012 but the restore never completes. I've redownloaded iTunes a couple of times, everything is where it should be, and I have a really strong internet connection. The weird thing is that after a while restoring, I click on the status bar in the "Downloads" section of iTunes and it shows how much data is going, such as 1MB per minute or something along those lines, but then the data starts to drop until all is left is a really slow 100 something kbsp and it is at this time that the restore stops and a message pops up saying to check my internet but I have a really good internet connection and everthing is good. I do everything such as redownload iTunes and restart the computer and I have a DELL computer that is 2010 or 2011 running on Windows 7. Can anyone help me with this please?
Also, I try to update on iTunes but that also quits. I know I can update on my iPod but iTunes on my computer will always ask to update it before restoring even though I've updated. This was the case when iOS 6 was barely out. It kept on saying to update first and so I let it but then it doesn't do it and I can never restore.

Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

Why does the software updating not work

My system refuses to perform a software update. It starts to scan, then only displays a very short blue section on the progress display and then finally quits by refereing to an apparent network problem. However, network checks show that everything is OK.
Any ideas what it couod be or how to overcome the problem?
At the same time, also Safari plays up. When changing websites, in many cases they either don't open or it takes a very long time to start opening. When I disconnect from WLAN and then reconnect, the pages start to load.

Many thanks.
Itunes can not update due to an Invalid signature
That one suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download via Apple Software Update.
Try instead updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Check for Update not finding 1.2.1 patch

Hi,
I am trying to understand why my "Check For Update" doesn't appear to be able to find the latest patch 1.2.1 update.
I completed the upgrade to 1.2 via the "Check for Updates" screen which installed and then restarted on XP Pro.
In Help->About I now see Version 1.2.0 Build Main 29.98
When trying "Check for Updates" with the following checked :
- Official Oracle Extension and Updates
- Oracle SQL Developer (URL pointing to p=38606:2 not raptor:updates)
It returns with "No Updates available".
Interestingly if I de-select Official Oracle Extension and Updates, then it returns with the Oracle Data Mining PL/SQL package (which didn't appear with both selected) but still no update.
I've tried restarting and still get the same result.
Is it possible to download just the zipped patch file and perform "Install from local File"? I couldn't find a link to this on the Developer download URL- just links to seemingly full versions (i.e. a large Mb file).
Kind regards,
Andrew

thanks k - that worked a treat
I guess the clue was in the 1.5.1 part of the directory name - now I see it I would have chosen the 1.5.0 directory to migrate from. Duh!
It was early in the morning when I upgraded :)

Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?

I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?

No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find
your web page very helpful in this regard.
