Imagery in Google Earth gets updated world-wide every 2-3 weeks but the same area may not be updated for six months or 3 years. What gets updated depends on the demand for a given area. Everyone wants their area updated first and the world is a large place -- major cities naturally have high demand so they'll usually be updated more frequently than a rural area.
The aerial, satellite, and Street View imagery in Google Earth is not real-time (or live). But there is also a webcam layer integrated into Google Earth (enabled in Gallery layer) that can show "live" scenes at selected locations.
Google Earth is a virtual globe, map and geographic information program that was originally called EarthViewer 3D. It maps the Earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS 3D globe. It is available under three different licenses: Google Earth, a free version with limited functionality; Google Earth Plus, which included additional features; and Google Earth Pro ($400 per year), which is intended for commercial use. You can download the free version from the link mentioned in the related links.
Google providers a data error reporting form (via website) to submit corrections to google's imagery, street names, directions, and so forth. By far the easiest way to provide updated information is through the new Google Map Maker tool. This allows you to directly move addresses to the correct location, change type of marker, etc. Submissions get reviewed and if approved get pushed back out to Google Earth and Google Maps.
Imagery UpdatesGoogle Earth imagery updates usually happen about every 2-3 weeks but the updates are not to the entire globe but to cities and regional areas often in multiple countries. Google provides a KML feed to show where the updates are located and also has a notification service to receive alerts when your selected areas have been updated. See related question for details.Google Earth Software UpdatesGoogle Earth software is usually updated several times a year with a major update (e.g. 6.2 -> 7.0) about once per year.
In 2006 Google Maps was updated to use the same satellite image database as Google Earth. Before that Google had to update and process imagery for both Google Earth and Google Maps where the maps where often out of sync with each other. Now Google updates its central map & imagery database and the updates are made available to both Google Earth and Google Maps at once. The time between getting imagery from satellite and seeing it on Google Maps is far from real-time. Once the imagery is taken by satellite, it takes time to process the data by a commercial provider like GeoEye before it is available to Google and other customers. Google will do additional processing to convert imagery into the format and coordinate system of its internal databases. This is one reason you normally won't find any imagery younger than about 6 months. For these reasons, the Google map & imagery database is updated once or twice a month.
You need to run the installer. Once it's installed, go on Google maps and hover over the maps icon in the top right corner. Three options will expand, click on Google Earth. You can also download a Google Earth software to run on your computer if you can't get it to work online. . backward paragraph

Google Maps doesn't display the imagery dates, but Google Earth does. That's Google Earth the desktop application not the 'Earth' mode found in Google Maps. Google reports that the imagery in Google Maps and Google Earth is on average one to three years old. Since both use the same imagery database you only need to visit the same area in Google Earth and enable the 'Status Bar' in View menu to show the approximate imagery date for a given area in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Google earth live doesn't really see live streaming videos because the satellites that take the images every 1 to three years are constantly orbiting around the world at approximately 24,000 mph so it would be impossible to take a constant video in 1 spot.
