Why is this on Page 2? It's not speculation. It already happened.

It seems unusual that the iMac software update is released basicly within a day of the release of the hardware. Ususally they wait until they get a week or so of consumer feedback, don't they?

On iPhone they waited about 2 weeks and did both a firmware and software update.

I prefer Q's prior avatar. My favorite Q is a character on ST-TNG.

i'm not surprised to see updates right after they released so much stuff. i didn't realize the mac pro update, so i guess i better go update mine :)

I believe this was released (at least in part) to address a bug that World of Warcraft users found on the new iMacs. There were very strange problems with the video in certain locations in the game and it wasn't a game bug. Blizzard took it up with Apple almost instantly, and people who installed this update reported that the bug went away.

Though I think there are still other bugs. :-P

Thanks. I'd forgotten the "lesser importance" part.

Thats good they updated iPhoto '06 for the web gallery thing. I was really ticked off when it seemed you would have to buy iLife '08 to use it.


Edit: Never mind Apples still a bunch of jerks, no Web Gallery for me.

Today we have Keyboard Software Update 1.1 (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/keyboardsoftwareupdate11.html).
About Keyboard Software Update 1.1

Install this software to use your aluminum Apple Keyboard and take advantage of the special features.

Today we have Keyboard Software Update 1.1 (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/keyboardsoftwareupdate11.html).

Should be renamed "Install this software to enabled the volume and other function keys that refuse to work on the aluminum keyboard." LOL.

Hopefully it covers the BT version as well and we wont need a separate update for that.

I'm glad they didn't restore features from iMovie 6. People don't have a right to that functionality in a program that costs less than $16. Those who are complaining are undermining the best interests of Apple! :apple:
