that's what i'm thinking too...after the update, it became like that..but othrwise it's ok...i'm just curious what happen actually.

Switch off the battery and you will see the battery icon..

LOL How you "switch off" your battery??

What he meant is now you cant choose a battery setting directly from the battery icon laa...

yup....anyone knows how to revert it back to normal??i'm not sure whether to blame it on the update....

Not a life and death issue ler...

This is the screenshot of my Apple MacBook 1.1 (Intel Core Duo, White, Plastic). Please click on the spoiler because I forgot to set ImageShack to resize my image. My battery has:
Cycle count: 104
Condition: Good
Full charge capacity (mAh): 5235.

wow.....ur model was the core duo model....battery still in very good condition...mine was the penryn model, but the battery is starting to degenerate, guess i have used too much on outdoors (most of the time only use battery).

how to check?
how come some ppl use so long but count so less?
i will use it everyday and today is my 3rd dy to use mac but have already 3 cycle >..<"

when you use ur mac, try to plug in the power source ALWAYS.....

how to check just goto system profiler from application then choose utilities and find system profiler, look under power source.

why my new alu macbook full capacity only 4199 mAH?

yup alu macbook capacity only has 4199 mAH if i'm not wrong...read from some forum...so, don't worry about it..

ok thanks shin. cause mostly i saw 5K+. maybe cause it's mbp
oh btw, to uninstall, just move the folder in application folder into trash rite?

you can use appcleaner for uninstall, which is a freeware..

you can still use drag and drop method, but i think by using appcleaner, it is better as it uninstall the program thoroughly..

about the update...it actually fixes some bugs,security and stability issue...i think it's ok to update it, the performance selection problem at the top right of desktop can be done manually through system preference and accoridng to civic 98, they will put it back for the next update. so just update it..

i just checked my battery status.. it stated charged 99% and cycle count = 1.. is it normal? i just bought my alu macbook 2 weeks ago.. don't wish anything bad happened..

Mine 7 cycles after more than a month and have 4676/4600 mAh.

Its normal to get 99% when fully charged.
However its better to calibrate each month.

Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 2006
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4567
Health Information:
Cycle count: 16
Condition: Good
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -1643
Voltage (mV): 11196
