I bought this computer with no disks, upgraded to Lion
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html
for some reason AHT wasn't installed
AHT is included in system disc #1.

I don't think so, because this is not about garageband specificaly, it's about the mac using internal speakers and iphone headset microphone at the same time. Input Microphone via Jack and Output speakers on the laptop.

The management is quite easy. You can move your Documents, Movies, Music, and Pictures folders to another drive and then replace them in the original location with aliases.
Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "alias." This will provide a help file on creating and using aliases.

MacBook 13-inch Aluminum (Late 2008) to Sony Bravia KDL-40W5800

Hello forum,
I am looking to buy a Sony Bravia KDL-40W5800 (Sony link, Amazon link) in the near future. I am going to be using it to play PS3, watch television and DVDs/Blu-Rays, but also I would like to be able to connect my MacBook to it if I wish to. I have been reading the forum and have come across numerous users that have problems connecting their MacBook to their HD-TVs.
So my questions are:
What adapter cables do I need to connect the two devices (I already own the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, if that's any help) correctly?
Is the Sony Bravia KDL-40W5800 compatible with the MacBook and does anyone have any experience with the TV itself? If so, I would be grateful for any kind of feedback.
Thank you in advance,
XtremeFluX

Hi,
I have been using my macbook (late 2008 2.4 ghz) with my Sony Bravia (KDL 26S2030) for about a year now. I use Mini Display port to VGA and then into my PC input. I am perfectly happy with the picture quality (although you may want to fiddle with you custom settings) and I have never had any issues.
When I was looking originally I came across tons of people who had problems with connecting the Macbook to their monitors. However there was a patch that came out (maybe last march) and so I bought my equipment after that and the mac always connects properly (although be sure to turn your TV on before to put the mini display port in). You will need to calibrate it and that will be that.
I hope that helps a bit.

Thanks

Heres the connection options I have on the back of the TV.

To see how much RAM you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then check Memory on More Info.
For hard drive storage space right click (or Control+Click) on your hard drive icon and select Get Info then look at Capacity (which is the size of the hard drive) and Available (Which is the free space on the hard drive)

13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008 Hardware Upgrade?

13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008
I recently upgrade all my software, first to Snow Leopard and everything was great so then I got Mountain Lion. Now everything is super slow. I know my RAM and internal hardrive is super outdated but I want to make sure I buy the right compatible hardware.
What do I need to turn my computer into a newer system without buying an new laptop?

you can only upgrade the ram and the hard drive. The ram specifications for your mac are:
204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM and you can upgrade to as much as 8gb. A solid state hard drive would certinally speed things up. It would need to be 9.5mm or less in height and 2.5" form factor.

Ask yourself a question.
How fast is your internet connection?
If it is is 1-2-8 mb speed then you dont need 'n'.
If you transfer personal info between computers fast speeds allowed up to 54 will save you time.
'n' is to provide greater range like Mimo and increased transfer speeds.
But do you really need it?
No,if you dont transfer huge data,
Yes, if you want to transfer (stream video from your iTV from Mac if you spend most of your day in front of TV.
There is no substitute for a good reliable connection.
In my real world experience because I only have a 8mb ADSL connection 'g' is not the strongest and most reliable scenario to use. During the last airport update my last 3 years of uninterrupted airport connections mixed PC and Macs on WDS set up went belly up and I had posted my thoughts as well with the relevant results and now set up is fine. But at a price.
Downgraded to all on 'b' and now use my Draytek Vigor 2800VG and have AEBS put away in storage.
My signal and range is out of this world. When I decide that I have enough free time to sit in front of a TV and download movies and watch them when I have nothing better to do such as travel the world etc. etc., that is the time I will go for speed...or will I.
Dont get bamboozled by the hype. If you really want one wait for a year then decide. Let others solve the teething problems as is there want.

You can use the two graphics cards, but it's only useful if you have more than two displays. It won't give you higher speed.
