Apple Trouble

I am very excited that I got a new MacMini and a new iPod Nano (for my B-day) but I am a bit frustrated. Problem #1 - Right out of the box Mini needed a bunch of software updates which took forever. I thought I updated Safari and iTunes still can't open the store. If they want me to buy their music they should not make it so hard for me to even look at stuff in the store and to upload new podcasts. My old computer with an older version of iTunes and Safari worked just fine. #2 - Also, the iPod seems to never turn off the backlight. I set if for 2 seconds and it stays on. I even turned the lock button off and put it down and came back hours later to find the light on. Also, the headphones are a bit quirky and hard to plug in all the way. I love the new iPhoto, nice improvements.
