If your Mac has got Mini DisplayPort, purchase a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. You won't have to change any setting, and image will show on your TV after connecting it to your MacBook Pro. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Go to the Project Library View and select your project.
Then FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 1".
Then duplicate it again and give the duplicate a name like "your name - part 2"
Now you can open "part 1" as a project and delete everything that is in part 2.

Can I add my Lightroom Web Gallery to my web page? I would like to have more than just a gallery. How would I do that?

Best way is to upload your WebGallery into a subfolder of your web space and put a link to the index.html file onto your main page.

Hello hbothner,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you'd like to change the colors on your Mac's display, then you can calibrate your display by following the steps in the article below.

I'm not so sure if it's possible that Apple ships internationally. Why not just look into getting one in your country that you live in?

MacBook Pro 2011 Dual External Monitors/Displays.

Is it possible to connect and run two external monitors (non-Apple - with DVI input) from a MacBook Pro 15 or 17". (ie, close the lid on the MBP and have two monitors running). Do you need extra hardware?

needs, as of this date, a thunderbolt display, as you will not be able to daisy chain anything other then thunderbolt displays. So you would get a thunderbolt display and then can use that to connect a second display to it with a dongle of your choice.
But it will work, and is natively supported.
There are alternatives to this like DisplayLink which is used to make a usb hardware be able to connect DVI to usb and usb to your computer.
but they've been having some issues with Lion however it's only with earlier MBP models so you might be good. This would be a cheaper solution.
Google usb to dvi I have the Arkview adapter but they're all the same because they use the same drivers. Again, your best bet is a thunderbolt display or waiting for someone to make an adapter that lets you connect multiple display with minidisplay port/thunderbolt.

Macbook Pro is detecting a second display that is not attached

I have a first generation Core Duo Macbook Pro and have had a problem with it since it was new detecting 2 displays when only one is connected. At first it would detect 2 displays and change the notebook screen resolution to 800x600. A quick click on the Detect Displays option in the menu bar would bring it back to one display at the proper resolution. This would only occur occasionally. Lately it has been occurring with great regularity but in a different way. Now it will detect the internal display at the proper resolution but also shows that there is a VGA monitor attached with a resolution of 800x600. This usually occurs when waking the computer from sleep. the screen will come up then go all blue then come back on again. If I check the display menu the two monitors are listed and I can move the mouse completely off the screen into the ghost display. Again, clicking on the detect displays menu option detects the internal display and clears the fictitious external displays. Anyone heard of this? This computer has already had the screen and logic board replaced by AppleCare for other reasons. also, this has occurred under both Tiger and Leopard.

Connecting HDTV to Macbook Pro to use as second display

I connected an HDTV to my macbook pro using hdmi cable. Is there a way to turn off Mirroring, it doesn't seem to be giving me the option in the system preferences. Do I need to connect it with VGA cable instead to get the "Non" mirroring option. I want to use it as a second display, not a mirroring display.

How can I make iPhone 4S Video's fill the screen when using them in iMovie 11 on My MacBook Pro

Hey Guys.
I am a singer songwriter from he UK.... I recently bought an Iphone4s, Ipad and Mac book pro (haha, apple hero, I know). I have always wanted to make the big jump to apple, just was waiting a little while.
I am thrilled so far, it's all great. But, I use Imovie (i am still getting to grips with it, but the features are amazing) to make videos of me singing coversand original videos for youtube.
The Camera on the iphone4s is great.
But, when I import videos into Imovie11, the videos do not fill the screen in their original form.
In some videos, I use the Ken Burns effect. Now, on the parts of my video when I use this effect, it fills the screen as it should do.
Why do the videos in their untampered form not do this? I have tried importing widescreen, original size, and Large, but it alwys sits in the middle of the screen, fairly thin lookin. It fills the screen when it's on my Iphone, I am very lost.
plesse help.
thanks.

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.
