![]() I’m not sure why I decided to try that at some point. After having run CoolbookController on the minimum volt setting on all CPU frequencies, I've noticed after a couple of months of flawless operation that my MBA started to act a bit sluggish now and then. If you open it, you’ll get multiple Notification Center icons in the menu bar. Hi I've noticed something weird lately on my late 2010 MBA 11.6' ultimate. Now, just for giggles, Notification Center is actually the /System/Library/CoreServices/NotificationCenter.app and in there lies the /System/Library/CoreServices/NotificationCenter.app/Contents/MacOS/NotificationCenter binary. The easy way to then get it back is to reboot. Sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ KeepAlive -bool true If you want to re-enable Notification Center, you’d just run the same with a true: Then, if you kill NotificationCenter off, it’ll stay off: Sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ KeepAlive -bool false To disable Notification Center from the command line, write a KeepAlive key that is false into the /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ like so: As you can see, Notification Center then starts back up the next day. Simply click on the Notification Center icon in the menu bar and then scroll up to see the “Show Alerts and Banners” button. It’s easy to disable Notification Center temporarily using the GUI. Since I’ve been killing it off with a script, this was a pretty straight forward task. ![]() ![]() I know, I know, it shouldn’t matter… But recently, a customer asked me to script disabling Notification Center. One thing that I’ve been able to do that extends my battery life a little more (maybe an extra half hour) is to kill off Notification Center (I wrote about customizing Notification Center earlier here). But that doesn’t work as of Lion (certainly not in Mountain Lion). I even used to used an app called CoolBookController to throttle my processor speeds while flying. Some are obvious, such as dimming the screen, only using an app at a time, killing off menu items, temporarily stop Spotlight Indexing and killing off LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents that I’m not using. There are a number of tricks that I use to extend battery life. Ever since moving to Mountain Lion (yes, this includes 10.8.2), I’m lucky to get 3 hours of battery life out of the Mac that used to give me at least 5 hours… O arquivo do instalador do programa é conhecido como CoolBook.dmg. Intel states that once the CPU reaches 105C, it will begin throttling and, lo and behold, when these 3 programs indicate that the temp exceeds 105C, coolbookcontroller indicates that the CPU begins throttling down to 1.6 GHz. O arquivo de configuração mais recente disponível para download requer 1.5 MB do disco. I also use coolbookcontroller to monitor the CPU frequency. These days, it’s increasingly important to conserve battery life as the transition to Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8) has caused my battery life to spiral into so much of a vortex that I am concerned that my laptop must be shooting raw electricity out of the bottom (which would certainly explain why my hair has a tendency to be perpendicular with the ground when I exit a plane). O desenvolvedor do CoolBookController é Magnus Lundholm. Try AppleSMBIOSEFI_28Air instead or change the model to the ones supported by CoolbookController.There are a few ways I like to extend my battery life on my MacBook Air. CoolbookController won't work with AppleSMBIOSEFI_28 because model is set to "MacPro3,1". (I used Tiger to compile the source code.) It should work both on Tiger and Leopard. Released AppleSMBIOSEFI from memory after adding the values.Ĥ. Added "serial-number", "board-id", and "system-type". Just boot with "FSB=n" (n is the speed number you want) However, it doesn't update the value back to "FSBFrequency" yet.Ģ. You can change the FSB value in case the value is still not correct. If that value returns 0, it will use value of "FSBFrequency".Ģ. It will use value of "cpu->externalClock" first. Just boot with "memoryType=n" (n is the type number you want, 18 is DDR, 19 is DDR2)Īgain, it is just the beta version and you still need the original AppleSMBIOS with it.ġ. ![]() Just boot with "memorySpeed=n" (n is the speed number you want) In addiation, it should fix "About This Mac" crash problem and wrong "Bus Speed" issue. It is based on original AppleSMBIOS and it only works with EFI system right now. Therefore, you don't have to worry about AppleSMBIOS being updated. It will work with original AppleSMBIOS but will try to fix or add some values that original AppleSMBIOS misses. Here is the beta AppleSMBIOSEFI I have been working on.
