Oh - and another thing - when checking the capacity using ioreg -l | grep Capa I get this: | | | | "IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=19911,"Amperage"=1526,"Current"=19801,"Voltage"=11316,"Flags"=4}) Now that's just weird. This is one of the reasons I'm thinking it might (just might...

I'm not going to change the battery as a matter of principal - what the hell for - all that'll happen is that it'll give me way worse than promised performance for a few months and then die on me over night. No thank you :) I'll just use it near an outlet until Apple sort the problem out -...

That sounds like good advise - I'll be taking the battery out during updates from here on out also :) C

I stand corrected (by myself) - I've been using notebooks since 1987, not 1989 (first one: an Amstrad PPC 640DD ... the 640's in the name because it had a *whopping* 640k of memory :D) C

Guys - I've been using notebooks since 1989 - I've plenty of experience with batteries :D - with the PB12" its simply that Apple has been selling us c**p products! I got this battery at the beginning of the year. If it'd been a year old, yes, I'd say that's possibly due to overuse - but not...

Heat problems in that in 10.3.2 Apple decided it would be best if the 12"PB would switch its fan on at a lower temp than b4 - this leads to more fan noise and more energy consuption :( ... then the battery thing in the PB12" is the stuff of lore. Apple really shot themselves in the foor with...

[LordCoven: crosses fingers and falls to knees to pray to the OS X deities] I *hope* so! ;) :D C

Cheers fryke :D Thnx for the info :) Lets hope they've put some improvements for those areas in there even if they haven't listed them ... C

Does anyone know if 10.3.4 is going to reverse the temperature change of 10.3.2? Also, have there been any improvements to the battery management for PBs in 10.3.4? Cheers, C

Hey y'all, Got the ADC newsletter this morning - and its got a link to a Java 1.4.2 update which was posted on the 17/05/2004 (or 05/17/2004 for you americans out there :)) - what gives? I've already got 1.4.2 installed. I'm not going to install it now - but have any of you tried this? or has...

Damn it! No luck with the fiddling in single user mode (pun intended). Interestingly ioreg shows the battery as having a whopping capacity: "IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=19909,"Amperage"=1443,"Current"=19293,"Voltage"=11079,"Flags"=4}) It would be nice. But I believe the capacity should be...

Yup - I've been having to do that continuously since I've had the bloody thing ;) ... what's new is that this isn't working any more :D - should have mentioned that in my first post, soz. :) C

Thanks twister, I'll give that a go ... also been checking up on some other threads in here on similar issues. I think I might try that thing going into single user mode and letting the battery completely drain. May help, who knows ;) I'm now starting to wish I'd gotten the 17" PB after all -...

Oooh - and I forgot to mention that it shows as being fully charged only an hour or so after claiming it was completely empty. Technically this is normal behaviour for a really old battery - only a) mine isn't old (got it in Jan I think) and b) last week it was behaving normally. Hrm. Arseing...

Hey there, Since beginning of the week my PB battery's gone a bit doo-lally! When charging it started showing it would take 9:30 hrs to finish charging, then when it thought it was charged and I removed the AC, it would say it was going to run for 9hrs! (Would be nice, eh?) It would then go...

Lycander: I said not always chosen the best chip - it was about bl**dy time Apple switched away from Moto to someone else. And as malexgreen pointed out, it finally seems to have caused moto to shift gear and start developing some truly interesting chips. Yes, the Velocity engine was really...

Well, you might have a point there :) Perhaps Apple has learned from its past and *is* playing them off against one another instead of blindly sticking to one company. However, it would take a shift in company consciousness for this to happen - I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying I'm unsure...

Politically, I think ping-ponging between moto and ibm isn't going to be that great for Apple. They probably know that, too. Plus, they've probably got some contract with IBM which ensures they stick with them for a while. Mind you - that's all speculation. Its not like Apple always chooses the...

I apologies for my horrendous typo: 'You'll won't to learn ...'!! It was far too early in the morning (for my liking) for my mind to be functioning properly ;) Cheers, C

Hey there, Don't know if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find any relevant threads ... anyway - I was wondering if any of you have come up with a neat solution of how to back an NSArrayController with a database (I'm thinking of either MySQL or PostgreSQL). I've seen a few...
