Anyone else having trouble running Software Update? I'm getting freezes that can only be fixed by rebooting my machine.

EDIT: Maybe this has to do with the Spotlight indexing taking place?

I recently purchased a new iMac and Thunderbolt Display for work. The display came early - is there a way to use this with my mid-2009 Macbook Pro? If I can't, it's not a big deal. My new iMac will be here at the end of the week,

What's the current iCloud situation? I'm thinking of finally transitioning over since MobileMe is expiring in June. I noticed it's possible to have an iCloud account and use a separate AppleID for itunes but this is not recommended.

I have an original mac.com address that functions as my AppleID, should I just convert this to iCloud? What happens to my MobileMe address?

Your address stays the same. You just lose some of the features MobileMe had but iCloud doesn't.

I found this buried on Apple's page: "You can continue to use your mac.com ID or your new me.com ID as an Apple ID (both names access the same account)."

So I guess my question is: since I use my mac.com email address as an AppleID, what happens to my iTunes content if I convert my MobileMe account?

Well I still use the old mac.com address as my AppleID. It sounds like I should be able to use my MobileMe address as the login and have no problems.

iCloud seems to be working fine and all my purchases are intact. Thanks for all the help!
