MenuTemperature1.5.3

Just installed on my MacBook Pro 10.4.8 and so far works very well. Temperatures changes from 65 to 70°C on normal actibity with highs of 78°C when requesting more from processor, what seems to be a little bit too hot, but that's actually what my MBP fells like, very hot, specially on the left hand side speaker.

The "stable" version never went beyond "please wait" with all menu items greyed out. The beta hangs my machine for up to 10 seconds every time it "checks" the temperature. This seems to rely on that #$@!$ing "SpeedIt" extension. STEER CLEAR.

Great application but the AuthHelper is a no-no. Get rid of it and I will download and use MenuTemperature again!

I don't like an application that tries to install a kernel extension without any warning. So I don't know if the application works or not. At least the developer should tell this in a Readme file [i]and[/i] in the description.

You may want to avoid the SpeedIt extension; I know the author of Temperature Monitor and Hardware Monitor has dropped it entirely after looking at the code and not liking what he saw.

Tried to use this on my MacBook running OSX 10.4.7. The machine froze.

works well. some of the errors people are reporting seem to be authentification errors (by default, the program will display a temp of 32f/0c - so maybe just putting NA will help with that). in any event, its extremely small, and works well.

does not work on a G4 powerbook

Does not work with iSight G5 iMac 1.9 GHZ.

Same problem here... on my MacBook Pro I see 0C/32F and it is not updating.

Now it's giving inaccurate readings - it's fluctuating very rapidly between 29°C and 34°C. By rapidly I mean several times per second if I let it update that quickly.

I'm seeing the 0/32 C/F bug on my new Black Macbook. I simply exited and restarted the program and it seems to be working fine now. So I suspect the reported bug isn't limitd to the G5 Quads.

I just reproduced the 0°C error by accident on my 20" iMac Core Duo. All I did was double-click the app, and before it was done opening moved it from the Desktop to the Applications folder. This seems to work every time. If I open it like a normal person, it works fine.

I tried this on my quad G5, and it gives a temperature reading-of 32° F or 0°C. I don't think that's quite right... my machine runs cool, but it's not endothermic.Hardware Monitor says the temps are 119.2° F and 119.5° F, respectively. I'll try it on my MacBook, but can't say I'm too optomistic

I tried to run this on my MacBook but it says it can't find sensors for it. It can find it for the MBP, but not for the MacBook.

My PowerMac G5 tower is the original, first-release model that happens to be "Machine Model: PowerMac7,2" and it has pleenty of temperature sensirs. But this app refuses to run on it, instead displaying the error: "No working temperature sensors found.". That error message is misleading, because i doubt the app is really using the existence of temperature sensors as a gauge. Instead, I imagine the app simply looks at the model number and compares it to an internal list of certain supported model numbers. Please change the error message to one that actually reflects the method you use to determine whether your app will run (for instance "This model Macintosh is not supported by this app.") This app really should work on *all* PowerMac G5 towers, and all other Macintosh models with G5 processors, since they all (as far as I know) have temperature sensors. Comparing model numbers is the wrong way to go about determining if a computer has temperature sensors. I suggest rewriting your code such that it truly looks for the existence of temperature sensors. For example, have a look at the way the open source application called "X Resource Graph" determines if the host Mac has temperature sensors: http://www.gauchosoft.com/Software/X%20Resource%20Graph/ Or, you might examine the output of the "ioreg" utility to see if the host Mac has temperature sensors: ioreg -n IOHWSensor | awk '/location/ || /current-value/ || /"type"/' | sed -e 's/[^"]*"//' -e 's/" =//' -e 's/location//' -e 's/type//' -e 's/"//g'
