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.

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.

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.

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.

Using an LCD TV as the Macbook Pro display

Hey
I am trying to use a Samsung LCD Tv as the display monitor for my 15 in. Macbook Pro display. I have a DVI cord going from my laptop to a DVI-RGB adapter which is plugged into the LCD Tv monitor, but nothing shows up on the tv and the display is still on the laptop. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Assuming your adapter is valid, you try "Detect Displays" in System Prefs/Displays. Some people adjust the OS to show a monitor icon in the menu bar, near the clock, and you can access this from there also. If the Mac still detects no external display, suspect the cabling.
I really question your DVI-RGB adapter, though. That would be highly unusual - are you sure it's not DVI-SVGA, or DVI-component? Do you have the brand and model? I have run my Samsung TV from my MBP just fine with a SVGA cable and DVI-SVGA adapter.

When I open the MacBook Pro, display doesn't turn on!

I have a new MacBook Pro. It doesn't seem to wake from sleep. Also, when it is operating, it doesn't respond when I try and put it to sleep. Lastly, sometimes when I shut the computer, I notice that it will remain very warm for a long time in my bag, even though it isn't plugged in. These all seem very related.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks!
Tim

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I also had some sleep problems with my new (in September) MBP running 10.4.10. Mostly a tendency to freeze if the display went to sleep, which does not seem to be the same problem that yours has. When I went to Leopard, all of these problems vanished.
Is yours asleep or frozen? If the sleep light is steady instead of pulsing, it may be frozen. And it should not freeze.
I have never had a problem with the MBP getting warm in my bag, but then, I always shut it down rather than put it to sleep. But I have heard of others getting warm. The MBP uses its aluminum skin to cool itself, and that doesn't work well in a bag. So I don't think it's good to put it in a bag asleep although I am sure others will disagree with this.
Since it's new and under warranty, you can always take these issues up with Apple.
Good luck!

About the hardware calibration system with the Macbook Pro display

I hope someone can help me out with a calibration problem I'm having. When I wake up my macbook from sleep (running OS X) the system automatically calibrates it and you can quickly see it switch from a blue tint to the proper colour profile. This is fine. However, I've installed Windows XP Pro via Bootcamp and the blue tint is there, the colours aren't right and this makes it particularly difficult for photo editing.
At first I thought it might just be me so I installed "VMWare Fusion" and ran Windows from a virtual drive. Since it was using OSX's calibration the colours were perfect. Is there any way to access monitor controls or a way to fix this? Software tweaks with the nVidia control panel don't make a difference. I've adjusted the gamma and had a go with the B/C settings but no luck. I think it is apparent that this is a problem with the firmware or something deeper than anything a software tweak could fix, judging by the auto-calibration during wake-up.

ctschach sez: "Well, you'll need a proper profile for WindowXP which will be loaded during the startup - there are no default profiles included in WindowsXP."
Yup! This is what is happening:
When you are in Mac OS X you are able to use ColorSync. In the Displays preference pane under 'color' you are able to choose or create your own color profile for the operating system to use for your display. When the OS is running, it is using your chosen display color profile.
Now you boot, via Bootcamp, into Windows. There is no ColorSync in Windows. The color profile your display was using in Mac OS X is still in Mac OS X. Windows hasn't got a clue about it. This has N O T H I N G to do with hardware. This issue is about getting a software color calibration profile for your display while you are running Windows.
So what does Microsoft offer in XP? It's time to go visit Microsoft to answer than question! I won't do your homework for you, but this will get you started:

Next issue: Is it worth buying a colorimeter for an Apple laptop? --> NO WAY!
(A) They are exorbitantly expensive.
(B) They are a total waste on a MacBook or MacBook Pro. The Apple laptop LCD displays cannot do 24 bit 'millions of colors' despite what you have read. They can only do 18 bit color (6 bits per Red, Green, Blue). The OS then uses dithering to fake the missing colors. Therefore, they are lousy for doing color management. The best you are going to get is a guestimation of what the image really looks like. You might as well just use what Apple provides for creating your own calibration in the Display preference pane under 'color'.
It would be much better to judge color with a calibrated Apple Cinema Display, which uses actual 24 bit color, or even better use a calibrated good quality CRT, still considered the optimum display for color management.
I have posted a brief dissertation about color management on LCD displays in response to a few queries in this group already, so I won't post it again. If anyone would like a copy, just bounce me a note.
