Anybody got any adivce for my questions below?
Ok I am after adivce for the best way to get my house system setup. I currently have a macbook and am going to get an imac (waiting for updated version). I want to be able to share all my media between the two (movies in a variety of formats, itunes library & photos) I also want to be able to display all of the above on my lcd tv.
Now I was thinking of doing this by getting an airport extreme base station with an external harddrive attached to this & then apple tv for the lcd. So three questions: 1) will this setup do what i want? 2) is there a cheaper way to acheive this setup? 3) is there a better way to acheive this setup?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

SafariStand lets you set custom search engines.
And have a look at Inquisitor 3: http://www.inquisitorx.com/safari/

It really depends what type of videos you plan on using, if you can enlighten me on the codecs, ie the ones I am mostly concerned about are h.264 x.264 and mkv these will be a bit of problem for the moment but there is still a solution. Also if you plan on streaming HD.TS so if u plan on using any of these then you gonna need a seriously fast connection in other words PRE-N Wireless or you gonna need need ethernet cable.
I would really go with the media streamers from tvix I will be more than happy to show u a few options on some websites.
Basically u leaave the media streamer by your lcd connected via wireless (if not streaming any of the above) if you are then really connect via ethernet and u have a rock solid connection as alot of these media streamers are only using wireless 802.11G.
and then u should be fine to play your music, videos and watch slide shows I can show u how my setup is done but pretty much how I have written it out.
Take a look at this baby well worth the money...

Will deal with a good 98% of files u throw at it..

you need to boot of an external volume or install dvd's then run disc utility and click the button saying repair disc permissions.
If that doesnt work get onyx and reset the finder...
Repairing disc permissions does not delelte anything, but you need to do it asap

If its crashing on a right-click then you may need to disable some Contextual Menu Items from:
~/Library/Contextual Menu Items

Anyone here experiencing high temperatures with a macbook pro..I am thinking of opening mine up and sorting the thermal grease. The temperature gauge is showing in the region of 65 on idle and 80 degrees when running cpu intensive apps.
I have a 2.16 core duo with 2Gb ram any of the gurus tried this yet?

smcFanControl

have you opened it up before?
the thermal greese thing turned out to be bogus, most people when they dismantled discovered that they acidently removed a sensor wire... meaning the sensor never knew it was running hot there fore the fans never went
if your mbp is under warrenty id send it to apple if I were you....
if not id run a hardware test and see if any faults are found
sometimes the most unlikly application can cause the graphix card or hard disc to run meaning the MBP uses the fans to keep it all cooler. Even some internet pages you may open in safari can cause this I have found.
My mbp is running at about 50 degrees and im not running much but I am in a warmer climate and I have the 2.33ghz model
