    How to connect my Macbook to a TV?

    I have a Panasonic HDTV screen, however, it doesn't have a VGA input. Only RCA (the three cables) and S-video. Is there any way I could connect my Macbook (not the latest generation, the one with a 950 integrated graphics card) to it? Thank you in advance!!

Everything works fine, but Mail starts spinning the beach ball after I start it up and has to be force-quitted. I tried deleting the "Envelope Index" and having it rebuild the database again. It seems...

    Full Screen CoverFlow in Finder?

    Is there a way of using Cover Flow in full-screen with Finder? It would be kind of nice to use it to browser through pictures. And it also is the only situation when I actually think cover flow could be useful. Thank you.

    Whenever I play a video integrated in a website (e.g. youtube), the CPU goes to 100%, temperature rises to 70-75 C' and the fan runs at around 6,000 rpm.

I used the Terminal "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0" to disable the safe sleep before. Everything worked fine (my mac went to sleep within seconds after I closed...
