Thank you!
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Even though you may be up on cyber security, think about your kids, or your parents, or even where you work. Think about the people in your life that may not be as computer savvy as you....
Cyber security and internet safety tips:
Install all system updates from Apple
Never shop online, unless you are familiar with the retailer you're dealing with
Avoid Phishing scams by simply not trusting any financial advice or warning sent in e-mail form. If your bank needs information from you, they will call you, not ask you to e-mail them or fill out an onlineĀform
Don't: create passwords using personal information or information someone could guess
Don't: create a password using words in a dictionary, no matter the language
Never use the default password or a common password
Talk to your children about their use of the computer and discuss any possible dangers they may encounter online
Discuss and set guidelines or rules for computer use with your children. Post these rules by the computer as a reminder
Keep the computer in a common area of your home, so that childrenās activities can be easily monitored
Limit time allotted on the computer - watch to see if your child is withdrawing from friends and family
Use the Internet with your children
Know who your children's online friends are and supervise their chat areas
Consider routing your childās email into your own email account first in order to screen any unwanted email messages
Mac OS X parental controls let you manage your child's use of the computer, the applications and the Internet. - parental controls can be found in system preferences.
Back up important files and store them in a secure place in a different location than your computer

Once you have your computer connected you'll want to set your computer to video mirroring mode via the Display Preference pane.
The simplest way to get sound from your computer to your flat screen tv is to use an 1/8'' stereo audio cable (You can tell it's stereo because of the two stripes around the connector). The ends, or connectors look like what you would see on a pair of headphones. The 1/8" jack on your computer is usually marked by a headphones graphic.
To get audio to your standard tv - you will probably need to use a 1/8" audio jack to rca adapter... Here's an example 1/8" Mini Stereo to RCA

| The Mac Attack #91 | The show is back...
Thanks for all of the emails about the show over the last couple of months.
After doing 90 shows of Mac tips tricks and hints. I'm stopping production on the mac attack. I'm not ruling out starting the show again at some point in the future. When that may be, I don't know.
I just feel at this time I would like to go on and try something new... Maybe bring back my music podcast, "The Loud Room" or try producing something completely different. When I do start up something new, I'll post a note on the mac attack web site.
Thanks to the generous contributions from some of you the web site and show will remain online for the foreseeable future.
The one thing that I didn't expect when I started TMA is the number of new friends I would make because of the show. I really enjoyed talking to a lot of you when you caught me on skype or through the emails and messages that you sent and left.
I also got to know some great podcasters and bloggers during the last two 1/2 years. Not only were they helpful when I had questions about producing the show, but they became good friends outside of podcasting also.
This really isn't good bye.... I'll still be popping up here and there on other podcasts and I'll have something new going soon.... | Get at Short URL | Download The Mac Attack #91 | Play in Popup.

Fixing a "stuck" 'Automatically reduce brightness' setting:
1) Manually edit the plist file for PowerManagement.Ā Itās located at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist.Ā Under Custom Profile -> AC Power (and you have to do it under the Battery Power one, too if you have that set up), create a Child (if it doesnāt exist already) named āDisplay Sleep Uses Dimā? and set it to Number and the value to 0.Ā That seemed to do the trick on my iMac.
2) If you still have issues, the system may be ignoring the plist setting.Ā You can create a little one-line Applescript and dump it on the desktop to run whenever you need it.Ā Just put this line in it (but, be aware that even if you save it as run-only, your admin password can still be seen if someone opens up the file as text):
do shell script āsudo pmset halfdim 0ā? password āā? with administrator privileges

(Note: Please don't judge the show by the audio quality of this first episode. I didn't realize that the audio is not up to par when listened to on quality speakers. I think the subject matter is important if you can get past the audio on this first episode. The audio on the second episode is much, much better. UPDATE 8/20/05- I went back to the original multi-track recording and tried to EQ out some of the noise and popping. It is a little better than the original release )
