Can I group several questions into one post? I guess I will find out...

Hello!
I am new to this area of apple.com, but it looks like I should have been here a long time ago. Maybe I posted one post before I made the big purchase but all the problems I have had, this should be number 1 on my list. so far this might have ben able to take the place of appleCare?
I have had the MBP for about 4 months. I honestly am not too impressed yet, but it could be my own fault. Putting that aside I will ask my questions after telling you about my system and hopefully I can start feeling a bit better with this machine. it is a MacBook Pro that was made in 2007, the date on the notebook was 1 week before '08 iLife was released. I found out I did get the faster HD I payed for after calling AppleCare 3 times and finally just putting in the HD serial number and it took me to places that sell the HD and that is how I found out I did indeed get the faster HD. so it has the Intel Core2Duo, 2.4 GHz processor, V 10.4.10 (which I could swear last I looked it was 10.4.9 but AppleCare said I would have to know if the OS was updated.
I did add 2 2gb sticks of RAM, so I have he initial sticks that came with the machine. This leads me to my first question:
1. Is trying to sell the 2, 1 GB of RAM that came with the machine an OK thing to do? I did get the 2, 2GB sticks at an Apple store that is certified with Apple and an authorized store for Apple that can perform AppleCare-certified work. So I did not just bring it in to anybody because I was nervous doing the add-on in case the notebook needed to go into AppleCare.
Is it an OK thing to try and sell the RAM? it seems like such a waste and was a drag I had to purchase 2 new sticks of RAM in the first place. I am also wondering where there "667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM" what does the 667 MHz mean? is this a speed or something I should have paid more attention to when I purchased the new RAM?
2. My second question is if I am posting this question in the right area. is the OS I have called Tiger? When dos it end being Tiger? When the next OS comes out? Also, I think the next OS upgrade will not be free, right? is it worth getting?
3. When I first searched, and asked and searched, and asked and read and spent 8 months trying to decide what notebook I wanted to purchase, I used the chat on applestore.com. In fact when I decide to make the purchase I did it through the chat and at that time I still had not made up my mind on a couple questions about products.
I was "sold" the Extreme Base Station when I learn that I actually ned the Express one to play iTunes over my stereo. I was quite upset because I feel I was misled in many areas with this being one.
the express Base Station is nice but looks like it is for a call center or some other area that has many computers. Is this something that I should be able to sell, along with my RAM, at the same place? I am not sending it back to Apple for several reasons but now because it is too late and they charge too much to restock it.
4. Is there a brand of printers that work better with a MacBookPro? I have the 3rd all-in-one HP Photosmart (not all were Photosmart, but were all-in-one) and each one I am unable to get to work with the Extreme Base Station. made this clear with the online sales guy that I needed the router that played the iTunes over my stereo, about 2 ethernet ports, a printer port (USB or Ethernet), and potable. Well i was not given honest info because the Extreme is not the one I needed. I really ant to know if there is a site someone would recommend I post the RAM, Extreme Base Station, the Neoprene Incase sleeve (that scratches the MBP when I slide it in?
5. I am not impressed with this machine at all. the quality is so-so, not as good as I kept hearing. I know I will have some hardcore apple fanatics come down on me but maybe I can get some advice after they all get to vent. is the top "lid" of the notebook suppose to be so unstable when it is closed? if I press on the left side, the right side opens up about 1" or a slight bit more. and then press the right side and the lt side pops up? When the notebook is closed there is not a nice "tight" close to the machine. This appears to be a quality thing but maybe it means nothing. I would like a tighter seal so that dirt, dust, etc in the keypad area when I travel but I am more concerned that it may be a defect. I know I can bring it in to an apple store but being disabled makes it tough to get close t the only apple store in salt lake City.
6. Finally, i cannot get use to what programs or applications, are on the machine and able to be used without paying for them. is there a free program or something in Preferences that I can paste to the desktop that will tell me what the applications are basically for and which ones are already purchased or able to be used without paying for them. I find myself not use the notebook like I should because I think that what is in the dock is what is in the notebook. But apparently that is not the case. I have found something that lists some applications and it is called applications, imagine that, but it is not inclusive nor does it give a brief explanation what the program is for.
7. I lied. One more. I purchased Fusion but have not done anything with it except send in the rebate. I would like to use the XP that was on my previous notebook that died. Does anybody have any info on this program, good or bad? I still keep hearing about Boot-Camp and Parallels, but not VM Fusion. I would have thought this program would have taken off like a wildfire when I initially read up on it and learned the company's specialty who put it together, what it can do, etc. I do not have very good luck, if that is OK to say, with installing programs, especially a program that will need me to instal an OS over that in-order to se if it works.
I appreciate any informative information I get. thanks for being patient with me.

Hello-
I was curious about what you said you are installing, 2 gb 1000mhz each? correct? So tha made me investigate further wheree i purchased my 2gb sticks 600 mzh (or whaever the abbreviation is.)
Not only did I find out 8 days later that the price for what I paid $..shoot, I can't remember right now how much this certified apple store sold the 2 gb sticks to me but they were 1/2 the price the day I called to ask about the 600 vs the 1000 you mentioned. they are not an apple store but they are a certified reseller, or something like that.
They would NOT give me any refund. But I asked them about the sped since you had mentioned what you were installing. They said for the MBP, the AM only comes in one speed and is different depending which Mac a person has. this guy said they only will tak max 2 gb sticks with a speed of 667. so I am confused about that and ****** about how they ripped me of and Apple will not help me. they get a free spot on the only Apple Store's box in the Yellow Pages too, for some reason
If som bodu can explain this to me, I would really appreciate it. will even mark the question as answered if ou are somewhat nice abou it.

Several questions in one slide

Hi. Can we have several questions in one slide? Example of a quiz true / false. Is it possible to have three true / false questions on the same page?
This page contains a single "Send" button. Button that links to a single page response. Is it possible ? Thanks

Each radiobuttons widget has an associated variable, that will store the answer. In this case either 'True' or 'False'. You can insert that variable in a Text Caption, using the small X button in the Format accordion of the Properties panel for the Text Caption. When the user clicks one of the radiobuttons, this caption will show the chosen answer. If you want to be able to control the content for the variable (perhaps resetting it to empty) you need the enhanced version created by Jim Leichliter, aka CaptivatePro/Captivatedev. It is available for free on his website (Google Jim Leichliter).

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location. They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

How Do I Combine Several Images Into One Image Which Contains Links To A Series Of Web Sites?

How do I combine several images into one such that the combined image contains a series of web links? In particular, I’d like to create such an image and put it into my Outlook email signature. At present, as per the image below, I have at least six separate images in my email signature with each image containing a web link. Is Photoshop the best tool for this job? Or would it be easier to do this in some other package? I have three packages at my disposal: Photoshop, Ilustrator and Dreamweaver. Can someone please explain in detail how I would do this? Or perhaps someone could direct me to a link that explains how to do this. Thank you.

Thank you for that correction, Hobotor. I admit I hadn't thought about an image map, in the context of someone who doesn't seem to know HTML very well... My thinking was running along the use of the Photoshop Slice Tool to get most of the way there...
To expand on the above, if you were to slice up your image using the Slice Tool, say like this:
Save for Web & Devices will create the HTML and save all the sub-images.
Then you edit the HTML and add a (hypertext link) elements surrounding the various images. Only thing is you'll have to set the border-style of the images to none.
For example:

<table id="Table_01" width="554" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="10">
   <img id="Sig_01" style="border-style:none" src="images/Sig_01.jpg" width="554" height="56" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="10">
   <a href="http://www.GrahamsWebSite.com"><img id="Sig_02" style="border-style:none" src="images/Sig_02.jpg"
        width="554" height="43" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
etc.
A full copy of the HTML and images can be found here... View Source to see it as an example:

OS X Maverick Multi Display Support for grouping multiple monitors into one display?

Will the new Mac Pro be capable of grouping multiple monitors into one large display? Similar to AMD Eyefinity for the purpose of gaming.

The current Mac Pro, or any Mac released since 1987 that can support multiple displays can ALREADY support combining all attached displays into one Extended Desktop, onto which you can open the gaming window and game across multiple displays. It is built into the System Software.

In MIR7 you click on the multiple option avaialble near PO/Schd. agreement there you can mention several PO & press adopt button, then all the Open GR's for Invoice will be copied into this MIR7 Screen in the line items.
Generally invoices are booked as per delivery challan no., if you had maintained the delivery note no. in GR then you can book the invoice accordingly for different PO's.

How do I put a group of tracks into one album

How do I put a group of songs into one album? They copied separately into iTunes.

Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. On iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Trick to group multiple albums into one?

Ive got about 20 albums from one artist and it takes up a huge amount of space in the album view.
Is there a trick, other than changing all the names of the album to group them all into one?

Maybe you are missing the "artist view" of the library it does what you expect: gives you a list of artist, clicking it gives you a view of all the albums of the artist
You could also change sort album to e.g. collection for all interested albums, give each album a disc number, set for all albums the right overall disc number and album (collection) artist.
I haven't tried it before...

How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.
