Or.. maybe.. you did not choose to synchronize Service Packs in the
Syncrhonization Options | Products and Classifications screen?

No I did....Anyway I figured it out...

When viewing updates...you can't use the default views...

You have veiw by:

Products and classifications: All updates
Approval: All updates >>>>> I was choosing "Any Approval" this is wrong.
Synchronized: Any Time


They should change that..it's confusing.

Ahh yes.. I got bit by that my first couple of times...

"Any Approval" includes only "Detect Only" and "Install".

If you've disabled the auto-approval option to "Automatically approve all
updates for Detection", then new content will be "Not Approved" by default,
and it will not show up in this filter selection.
