 Mac Software Updates

Keep Software Updates Current

Please help EIT by reminding the Mac Users in your office to keep their computer's software updates current.

Our Help Desk often discovers pending software updates when they're helping someone resolve a problem. Often the updates contain bug fixes and feature enhancements that would stop the problems from occurring in the first place. So the next time that software update window opens on your desktop, please take the time to do the update. You'll be happy you did!

Upgrade to Firefox 2

Have you added any software to your system yet? If not, here's a suggestion to start with. There is a wonderful, newer version of Firefox. Firefox 2 has an abundance of updated features, including a spell checker that works within web based forms, including the county web site application!

Read about the new features and download the update from: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features.html

Here are the installation instructions:

1) Download Firefox from the above web site
2) Quit your current version of Firefox, if it's running
3) Double-click on the disk image (.dmg icon) to run it
4) Drag the Firefox icon to your Applications folder
5) Replace the older version with the newer one
6) Drag the disk image and disk icon files to the trash

If you have any questions, please contact your IM Agent or call the CES Help Desk at 919-513-7000 or email ces_help@ncsu.edu.
