What does mean when it says you can't open an application because it is not supported on this system on mac?

When a system says it is unable to open an application because it is not supported it means that the application was written for a version of the system other than the one being used. For example newer software written to work with Mac OS X 10.6 may not always work with older versions of Mac OS X as it is requires features from the new version which are not in the older version. If software has specific system requirements these are usually stated on the packaging or on the developers website.

No, "Internet Connect" software will work the same.

It is still compatible with Airport stuff. It wouldn't surprise me they just renamed it Airport instead of Internet Connect.

Are dell peripherals intechangable with other brands?

Almost always, yes. Keyboards, mice, scanners, printers, etc... all use universal connectors like USB or PS/2 these days. Keyboards and mice are usually generic, so you can plug a Dell mouse into a Gateway computer, for instance, without issue. For scanners and printers, all you need to do is download the appropriate drivers.

Addendum: It has been reported that the connector that plugs onto the motherboard from the power supply has a non-standard pin out. Therefore, Dell motherboards and power supplies are not interchangeable with other brands. (But then, those items aren't really 'peripherals. Just handy info to know.)

How do you I connect and update my nook from my mac?

The Nook is normally updated over a WiFi network and does not need to be connected to a computer. If the update does not happen automatically you may need to tap 'Check for new B&N content' in the My Library area in order to initiate the update.

If the update has to be done manually you need to download the update from the Barnes and Noble support web site. Connect the Nook to the Mac with a USB cable. The Nook will appear on the Mac's Desktop (or in a Finder Window under Devices) as a disc. Drag the update file into the top level of the Nook (not into any folders). The update will be automatically recognised and applied. The Nook will restart once it has finished installing the update.
