  • Wow, that is some old technology. But how can I complain, I just upgraded from an iMac G3/333MHz. In any case, my recommendations are twofold. 1) Don't worry too much about OS 9. In my (admittedly few) years with OS X, I used it once. 2) Yo…

  • Perhaps it was a preemptive update: We are still expecting 10.5.2, which last time I checked is Mac OS X. Maybe the new update changes a couple of things, and the iWork updates got finished sooner.

  • You might want to check on the camera. Is the audio off when you play back through the camera itself?

  • Look at the very bottom of the window. Do you see a light gray rectangle with a dot in the middle of it? If so, click on the dot, hold the mouse button down, and drag it upwards. This should show the message content for you.

  • I'm not familiar with any reported issues, but it sounds like perhaps the fan controls were set incorrectly in the old firmware. The new firmware probably has the fans running more often/quickly, meaning less heat but more noise.

  • From what I've seen in Charleston, SC, the Apple section is fairly well maintained. They have an Apple employee working there most of the time, and everything works properly. Granted, the experience is far from an Apple store, but with the closest…

  • Try this: In System Preferences, click on Sound. Click on the Output tab. Make sure that the output device selected is something like "Built in Output" The software may have changed this setting to be another device. Good luck!
