Download Upgrade only

When an update becomes available, iTunes gives you the options of download only or download and install. I tried the first, planning to install later but then couldn't find out how you install an already downloaded update. So I ended up re-downloading with an fresh "download and install". So what did I miss?

To browse for a firmware within iTunes click the update button while holding down the shift key (windows) or the option key if you are on a Mac.

Goggle "browse for firmware iTunes" if you need more help.

Cheers.

After you have downloaded an update but not installed it each time you Sync with iTunes it will think a while and then display a dialog saying you have downloaded an upgrade but haven't installed it yet; do you want to install it now or later
If another upgrade comes out before you have installed a prior downloaded one the dialog will go back to saying there is a new OS available and asking if you just want do download it or do you want do download and install
