Answer 1

You can tell what version of MacOS you have by clicking on the Apple menu (blue apple in the top left) and selecting "About This Mac." However, you do not need to know what you have to update it! Just run Software Update, which is the second selection in that same Apple menu. It will contact Apple's servers and let you know if there are updates for you. If there aren't any, congratulations! You're all set! If there are, click the button at the bottom to install them.

By the way, if you ever see the Software Update window pop up (by default, it is set to check periodically for you), there really isn't a reason not to accept them. They are all updates from Apple directly, so you can trust them.

There is no advantage at all in downloading them from the website yourself. Let Software Update do the work for you. It's much easier and accomplishes the exact same thing!

If you use broadband, it is also a great idea to have your time get set automatically. Click on your clock and select "Open Date & Time..." On the Date & Time tab, make sure the checkbox next to "Set date and time automatically" is checked. This keeps you in sync with a remote time server, so you know your clock is accurate.

Hope that helps.

Aloha Haleiwa girl,

Yes, there is something for the Mac also. If you have a Macintosh, you can use your Mac's built-in Software Update to download and install it for you automatically. You can get access to Software Update, by accessing your System Preferences or go up to the blue Apple logo a the top-left and down to the Software Update... menu command.

I prefer to go to the Apple web site and download it myself, but you need to be sure that you download the correct update for your particular computer. Check it out here:

Apple recently released 3 updates regarding the changes in Daylight savings time starting in two weeks-Oneof Tiger users(10.4.X) and one for Panther users(10.3.X), plus a Java update

Find them at apple.com or from your software update panel..

very virtually every time I practice dinner macaroni & cheese I upload something to it. even as the macaroni is straining, I melt butter contained in the bottom of the pan and fry both rooster or tuna. often times I upload cottage cheese, garlic, or toddlers. some people us tomato soup quite of milk and make contact with it "pink mac & cheese," yet my grandparents have some style of pink phobia, so i do not make that. I also would upload extra cheese and bake a casserole contained in the oven. It merely relies upon on how i'm feeling.

In Mac OSX, goto your "system preferences" and choose "date & time". There should be a setting for this in that pane. If you have an always on connection...it will adjust it automatically from a server.
