UPDATES: The Mac BookOnDownload was updated 2/19/2009. This update corrects several minor video problems that occurred on some Macs. These problems only affected the Mac BookOnDownload, which uses .mov video files. If your Mac BookOnDownload has any of the following symptoms, use the link at the top of this page to download the updated version. If you have paid for full use of the product, the updated version will continue to use your existing activation file.

  1. 1.Non-inplace videos would not play on some Macs. This affected videos linked to figures F1204, F1402, F2602, F2803, F5002, and F6003 and was fixed in the updated Mac engine.

  2. 2.Two videos, F1204 and F6003 were garbled during output to .mov video format, resulting in a blurry image. Both videos have been updated.

  3. 3.On some Macs, the video control slider would not correctly represent the current position within the movie. This was fixed in the updated engine.
