Install a basic anti-theft tool on sensored laptops
I've been led to understand that not all Apple laptops contain the Sudden Motion Sensor. Is there any easy way to determine if the SMS is present without going through a software install?
Does my laptop have a SMS?
Apple -> About this Mac -> More information -> Hardware and then it says on the right something like "Sudden Motion Sensor activated"
Does my laptop have a SMS?
Would that be in the "Hardware Overview" section, where the machine name and serial number are?
Does my laptop have a SMS?
Yes, at least for me. In short, all Powerbooks since the February 2005 revision as well as all MacBooks and MacBook Pros have it.
Does my laptop have a SMS?
There is a "BUT" ... PowerBooks G4 1,67GHz (like mine) only show the SMS in Hardware Overview after a restart. Please note, NOT a normal start, you have to REstart the PowerBook, ONLY then the info will be given into the Hardware Overview section.
It looks like that tools like MultiAlarm (Version 3.1) can't aktivate the Arm (Menu "Alarm" -> "Arm") until the info is given here. Apple knows about the Problem: [link:]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303178 --- |
