iMac auto dim script - permanent fix!!!
yes this does work.. and i believe that this a permanent fix for some people.. but in my case, whenever my iMac is rebooted, the setting breaks.. you have to set it every time you reboot.. I've read this on other sites, so I know other people have this problem..
i've done many hours on research on this issue.. i must credit Sam Elowitch on MacinTouch.com for his efforts on this too.. this is a great script to fix this problem..
use AppleScript to paste this into..
do shell script ("pmset halfdim 0") password ¬
"your_password" with administrator privileges
the ONLY thing you need to change here is the "your_password" section.. do not delete the quotes.. and you must insert that bracket thing on line 1.. that can be found on the character map from the Edit menu... Save it as an application, no startup screen, somewhere on your hard drive. Then, under System Preferences --> Accounts, assign this new application as a Login Item.
lots of steps yes.. but definitely worth the effort if you haven't gotten the silly issue fixed..
