Korrupted Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Are you sick of seeing Apple Development Platform in your system profiler every day? Well spice things up a bit with a quick edit. First, use sudo -s to login as the super user. Next, paste this command into terminal: nano /System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPPlatformReporter.spreporter/Contents/Resources/SPMachineTypes.plist Use the arrow keys to scroll all the way down to the bottom, until you reach this: ADP2,1 Apple Development Platform While leaving the string brackets all intact, replace it with whatever you want. Example: PowerHack x86 Once you're finished, save with CTRL+O, then exit(CTRL+X). After that, repair permissions on your mac, just to be safe, with: diskutil repairPermissions / Once that's finished, check out your System Profiler again, and it should have your new name!
