Playing a CD and Connecting Headphones

If you’d like to listen to music while you work with your eMac, insert a music CD in your optical drive. iTunes, an easy-to-use music player, will appear automatically on the screen. You can also connect headphones with a minijack to the headphone port of your eMac to listen privately. To learn more about iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes and Music Store Help. To learn more about your optical drive, see “Using Your Optical Drive” on page 32.

Keeping Your Software Up to Date

You can connect to the Internet and automatically download and install the latest free software versions, drivers, and other enhancements from Apple.

To check for updated software:

1Choose Apple (K) > Software Update. The Software Update window opens. If there are any updates available, they appear in a list.

2Click the checkbox to select the items you want to install, then click Install. Type an administrator name and password (the name and password you used when you first set up your computer).

•For more information, search for “Software Update” in Mac OS Help (see page 22).
