Hi,
I've been using Bitcoin clients on both my mac and Pc for hte past few days now and it seems to be that a lot of blocks have been generated by both my systems yet the following problems exist:

Yes, but NOT BY YOU. This is the system block count on the internet. Your CPU - is worthless for mining. Get a GPU miner and invest some thousnds in GPU capacity.

Terrible advice has been bolded. Do not invest thousands of dollars into GPUs until you do a lot more research about what bitcoin is, how it works, and how mining works. In fact, I don't recommend investing thousands of dollars unless you have thousands of spare dollars lying around.

There was some good advice in the quote though. CPU mining is totally worthless. Don't even bother. If you have a decent video card you can mine on that using one of the many clients found on these good forums. Again do some research though, this isn't a magical money fountain, you will still need to do some work on your own.
