First off, they updated the SuperDrives with <a href="http://support.apple.com/downloads/SuperDrive_Firmware_Update_3_0" target="_blank">Firmware Update 3.0</a>, which is supposed to eliminate some noise issues in iMacs and Mac Minis introduced after March 2009. Next comes the Mac Mini <a href="http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_mini_EFI_Firmware_Update_1_2" target="_blank">EFI Firmware Update 1.2</a>, which fixes some of those dreaded compatibility issues and again, only for those introduced after March 2009. The last update, available in <a href="http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_Server_10_5_8_Combo_Update_v_1_1" target="_blank">combo</a> or <a href="http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_Server_10_5_8_Update_v_1_1" target="_blank">standalone</a>, &nbsp;is for Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 for general operating system fixes. You can get the updates via the software update feature on your Mac or via the links above.</p>
