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 onlineÂform
- 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 childrenâs 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 childâs 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

MacBook and iMac Mini-DVI to Video Adapter
MacBook Air Video Adapters
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
Mac to XBox 360 - Connect360
Mac to PlayStation 3 - MediaLink

steve@stevecom.com - I was on the Mac Core podcast talking Apple Certification's and consulting. (0mb)
Sun, 7 Sep 2008 13:24:00 GMTFrom the Mac Core web site: "Corey and Katie sat down with Steve Stanger of The Mac Attack and devoted a special podcast to the topic of becoming Apple Certified. This is a little different show for us, but weâve gotten a ton of listener feedback on this topic and thought it warranted its own show. Steve and Corey talk about the reasons they choose to become Apple Certified, talk about the reasons to become certified, the different types of certifications Apple offers and answers listener questions about the certification process."

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....
- Thanks....
Sat, 24 May 2008 13:22:00 GMTThanks for all of the emails. Everything is OK. It took me a little longer then expected to get settled in after the move. Plus my hours at work changed so I was adjusting to the new schedule (I know, blah, blah, blah) :-)
I will have a new show out by the end of the month.
Talk to you soon.

Fixing a "stuck" 'Automatically reduce brightness' setting:
1) Manually edit the plist file for PowerManagement. Itâs located at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist. 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 doesnât exist already) named âDisplay Sleep Uses Dimâ? and set it to Number and the value to 0. That seemed to do the trick on my iMac.
2) If you still have issues, the system may be ignoring the plist setting. You can create a little one-line Applescript and dump it on the desktop to run whenever you need it. 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 âsudo pmset halfdim 0â? password ââ? with administrator privileges ------------

Edge Tech hard drives
(Show Note: Shortly after releasing this episode I received an email from Robert saying that both of the Edge hard drives he reviewed had failed and he was not able to restore them. This probably has to do with the drives not being Mac compatible.)------------

- Show correction
Wed, 24 Jan 2007 11:24:00 GMT
Correction - During episode #60 I mistakenly said "command+option+delete will allow you to force quite an application". That's not the case. Command+option+escape is the key combination you need to use. I am sorry for any confusion. Thanks to Isaac for catching this mistake first. - The Mac Attack - episode #60 (19mb)
