Need Mac help

My iTunes connects to my stereo wirelessly (via airport express). Is there anyway to setup up Safari to do the same?

When I have a safari screen open and it's maximized (takes up whole screen on my MBA) is there anyway to lock it so I can't drag it around? I am always grabbing it by accident and moving half of the window off the screen when I try to scroll.

Thanks.

Not natively, but you can do it with third party toys like airfoil.

Dunno why you'd maximize it-- that kind of defeats the purpose of the Mac UI. I don't know of any way to prevent the window from moving, seems rather counterintuitive to try.

I would recommend, as you're using a MB, that you simply drag with two fingers on the trackpad, which will scroll in Safari without requiring that you click and drag a slider.

Don't mean to hi-jack your thread Jarod; but here is a question: What's the easiest way to sync my MB Pro with my stereo in the living room wirelessly?

Airport Express.
Apple - AirPort Express

the only problem I have found so far is that there is about a 1 second lag between clicking play/pause and the sound actually following the command.

OK, so it sounds like I should ditch my Linksys and grab the Airport Express for $100. Is this the only thing I need to make it work with my Comcast modem/wireless setup? I shouldn't have much trouble getting my Harmon Kardon receiver or HP printer to sync up, should I?

keep the linksys and set up the express as a client. otherwise, you'll need your modem and stereo to be in the same place.

Very true.

I for one have m router/stereo in the center of the apt behind the TV anyways, but if they are seperate that is your best option.

Cheers.
