Mac OSX

A problem attributed to erroneous trackpad temperatures is causing some PowerBook G4s to forcibly enter sleep mode. A user in the MacFixIt Forums reports that his PowerBook’s trackpad is reaching temperatures between 140 and 250 degrees Celsius. Obviously this is not possible, but the operating system still thinks the trackpad is about to start World War Three and immediately sends the PowerBook into the sleep state.

Units experiencing this problem may or may not see this message in their system logs:

Nov 13 12:36:04 localhost kernel: Power Management received emergency overtemp signal. Going to sleep.

A possible solution to this problem can be found by removing kernel extensions.

Move (do not delete) the following extensions to a different location (/System/Libraries/Extensions) :

* IOI2CControllerPMU.kext

* IOI2CLM7x.kext

* AppleLM7x.kext

* Extensions.kextcache

* Extensions.mkext

Can I publish my calendar to an iCAL viewer (like Mozilla Sunbird or Apple iCal)?




(Calendar)








Currently you can publish a group calendar in iCAL
format, which Mozilla Sunbird and other iCAL viewers can subscribe to. This doesn't let you upload events
created in these clients, but it does let you use these clients to view events created in Airset.




 




Currently this functionality only
works for group calendars - it doesn't work for Personal calendars or for the
"All Groups" calendar. We're working on extending this functionality to Personal
calendars, but we don't have a timeframe for this feature yet - in the
meantime, you could share your personal calendar to a group calendar, then
subscribe to that group calendar from your iCAL viewer.




 




If you'd like to create an iCAL feed, you can do
the following: 









1. 
   
   Login to AirSet, and click on the tab of the group
   whose calendar you want to subscribe to.


2. 
   
   Click on the Calendar icon, and on the Calendar menu,
   click "Publish..."


3. 
   
   Under the "Public Calendar" section, click
   on the checkbox next to "Enable Public Viewing of The <group>
   Calendar" - this will start a Wizard that will let you turn on iCAL
   subscriptions for the group calendar.


4. 
   
   On one of the final screens, you'll have the option to
   "include the <Group> calendar in AirSet's public directory". Note
   that anyone who knows the URL for an
   iCAL feed can subscribe to it - putting the calendar in the public directory
   will make it easier for people to find your calendar if you want to share it,
   or you can keep your calendar private by not putting it in the public
   directory.


5. 
   
   When you click "Finish", you'll be taken
   back to the <group> Public Content Management Page. Under the
   "Public Calendar" section, you'll see a section that says
   "Public Link to The <group> Calendar". If you click on that
   link, you will see an iCAL button in the lower left corner.


6. 
   
   Click on the iCAL button, and click on the iCAL button
   next to the word "Subscribe", which should launch your iCAL viewer.
   Alternatively, you can right click on the button, select "Copy
   Shortcut" or "Copy Link Location" and enter the URL directly into your
   iCAL viewer (e.g. in Sunbird's "Subscribe to Remote Calendar..." dialog under the File menu).
