Hi, Rita,

You can ignore #2; it's important to developers, not you. It means that [NSImage dissolveToPoint:fraction:] is no longer preferred by OS X in 10.8 and that they should update their apps to incorporate [NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:].

#s 1 & 3 are probably meaningless, but I won't say that authoritatively...wait for further input.

My personal suggestion is that you launch /Applications/Utilities/Console.app, hit command-, to get to prefs, make sure that the "Bounce..." and "Bring..." boxes are unchecked, and don't look at Console unless you've got an issue going that necessitates looking.

(I've got the "Automatically..." box checked...can't do other than help.)
