Mac issues
- When Im using my mouse to move around on firefox and safari (maybe when in applications), sometimes the direction that Im pushing the mouse to, seems to go the other way around. ie, when Im heading the pointer to the close window button, sometimes it would head the opposite way. Is there something wrong with my Mac? Or are the cables and such too close together?

- At times, I would not be able to connect to either firefox or safari. Reloading the screen again works most of the time. But sometime I try to find a new connection, ie. default, etc.
Anyone experience this before?

- I was looking at the Apple site, there appears to be a download for V 10.4.8 already!?!?!
I just had my Mac V 10.4.7 in less than a month? Should I download it? Also when I wanted to do software update, it would say that im not connected to the internet? How so, my firefox was working at that time? Or is it because Im using that 60 day trial version that came with my Mac?

are you using an optical mouse on a reflective surface? try using a mousepad, or even just a sheet of paper.

how do you connect to the internet?
and yes, download all official apple updates where possible, they're constantly improving safety and performance of OS X

- Im using a reflective mouse on a smooth wooden surface, I grew tired of mouseballs? Is that my problem?

- Well, i have no internet connection yet, I'm just using that 60 day trial version that came with my Mac V 10.4.7. I will try and do a software update soon, and I will post later on whether or not its still saying that im not connected to the internet
