zfire89 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Is there a way to change "About This Mac" to your actual CPU instead of ADP2,1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug_jnr Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 this is fixed in 10.4.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakuoff Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Instructions: From your 10.4.3 Installation: in Terminal: T=/Volumes/'your10.4.5disk'/System/Library/SystemProfiler E=/System/Library/SystemProfiler cd $T sudo mkdir backup sudo mv $T/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter $T/backup sudo cp -R $E/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter $T Repair Permissions on your 10.4.5 disk. Boot into your 10.4.5 Installation and repair permissions again. Your System Profiler should now function properly. If you would like to customize the output as I have, then follow these directions: copy the following files to your desktop: /System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter/Contents/Resources/SPMachineTypes.plist and /English.lproj/Localizable.strings Now open these files you copied to your desktop with TextEdit and modify the following lines: in SPMachineTypes.plist: <key>ADP2,1</key> <string>SuperMac</string> ----- change in Localizable.strings: add the following line where the model names are.... "ADP2,1" = "your_processor_here"; Now Open Terminal and do the following: T=/System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter/Contents/Resources sudo cp /Users/yourname/Desktop/SPMachineTypes.plist $T sudo cp /Users/yourname/Desktop/Localizable.strings $T/English.lproj Let me know how this works out for you guys.

marliwahoo Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 in Localizable.strings:add the following line where the model names are.... "ADP2,1" = "your_processor_here"; Got everything to work except above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB205GTI Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Installing XCode2 solved it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korrupted Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I followed this guide, and it works perfectly in the system profiler, but in the About This Mac page it still shows ADP2,1. Here is a screen of what I added to the two files: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phor2zero Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 ok, i see what you're talking about now. the strings you added will show up in the hardware tab in System Profiler. My 10.4.3 system shows just like yours, but my 10.4.5 system shows an Athlon64 3700+ instead of ADP2,1. However, 10.4.5's System Profiler won't show the hardware tab. I'm still looking into possibilities. You've fixed as much as I've been able to figure out so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Alrighty, thanks for clearing that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have another question: in 10.4.5, how does one change the "Machine Model"? I remember phor2zero saying it returns the same string as cpu_type, but it doesn't appear to be so for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpu killer Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Yah mine currently says "4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4" when I have a 2.4, I'd like to change it to the actual procc. Any ideas? 10.4.5 btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
