Hi Anon

Anonymous1. a) Could you please send the update information to Tom?
b) Could you please send the updated information to Tom?

These sentences have different meanings:
a) update information = The word "update" describes what type of information it is -- it is information about an update. The update may or may not have already been carried out. For example, it might be information that explains how an update on a computer's operating system must be done.

b) updated information = The information itself has been updated. In other words, the information itself is new because someone recently made changes to the information. It's similar to saying "new information" or "the new(est) version of the information".

Anonymous2 a) Is there any update information today?
b) Is there any updated information today?

The difference in meaning is the same as above.
