Look at the one i posted at the top of this thread and compare it to his. Does it list the same items other than the Airport?
They look about the same. The only difference I see is your temps are lower all around...
If you go to the settings in iStat, and you go to the Display tab and then click Temps, you can check all that you want to see. To get to the settings click the i on the panel of iStat. If this doesn't work for you guys I don't know what you're doing...
Nope that doesn't work. I already have all the items listed under Disply/Temps checked. The Airport just doesn't show up under there...
Some of the old macbooks do not show the airport card temperature either. A friend of mine has a 3rd gen macbook that does not show it, yet I have a 4th gen macbook that does show it. It may be that apple did not include the sensor for some machines, or there may be small differences between some aluminum notebooks and iStat is not able to read the temperature. Just guessing though.
I'm wondering if it's a difference in the models. The person that said their friend's alu showed the AirPort temp said their friend had a 2.0. I've noticed from the OPs sig that they have a 2.4 alu. My 2.4 alu doesn't show the AirPort temp either, and I have all the options checked.
Mine is a 2.0, and it does NOT have the AirPort option in temps.
The fact is, so far, I didn't see anyone surely said: "I have the Al-MB, and here is the screen shot that shows the Airport temp in iStat Pro ver 4.7". Until I see it, I don't believe it.
That is a wise attitude to have especially on sites like this. I don't believe anything you say (especially) or most people on here (some I have a lot respect for and know they aren't driven by biases) which is why I verify any info. myself.
Please don't take it the wrong way, hogfaninga. I am not implying that you lied. After many indicated that their don't shown, I just needed a little more evidence to convince myself that it actually shows on some Al-MBs but not all.
But "I don't believe anything you say (especially)"... No, you don't need to believe me, but "especially"? oouch!

Sorry about the "especially."
I think it is good advice to not trust what you read on here (most things unless it is from an admin/mod/ or someone who has a post history of truthfulness--there are a lot of new people--myself included, so I don't take much stock in what they say). Verify everything through other sources.
I hope anyone who is wanting advice looks at more than just the opinions on here which are very biased depending on what you own or what you like (look at non-message board sites that are independent). It is human nature I guess.
So, do ANY Alu MB owners have the Airport show up in iStat?!!?
I have the 2.4, it does NOT show up
