public function getEdit($id)
{
 $upload = $this->upload->find($id);

if (is_null($upload))
{
  return Redirect::to('uploads/alluploads');
}

 $this->layout->content = View::make('uploads.edit', compact('uploads'));
}

Controller to do the update

public function patchUpdate($id)
{
  $input = array_except(Input::all(), '_method');

  $v = Validator::make($input, Upload::$rules);

  if ($v->passes())
  {
    $upload = $this->upload->find($id);
    $upload->update($input);

    return Redirect::to('uploads/show', $id);
  }

   ->withInput()
   ->withErrors($v)
}

If you are not binding the model in the route then pass it from the controller when showing/loading the form for editing, for example:

public function getEdit($id)
{
    $upload = $this->upload->find($id);
    if (is_null($upload))
    {
        return Redirect::to('uploads/alluploads');
    }
    $this->layout->content = View::make('uploads.edit', compact('upload')); //<--
}

Update: You should use compact('upload') not uploads because the variable is $upload.
