komeet Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 edit the file /System/Library/CoreServices/Resources/English.lproj/AppleSystemInfo.strings at the line says "UnknownCPUKind" = "Unknown", change it to "UnknownCPUKind" = "Whatever" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhimama Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 He meant that you change Whatever to whatever you want the window to say I mean that i changed the "Unknown" to " Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6700" . ( From ur theory, it should now show a correct CPU. Right ? ) But the computer STILL SHOWS ME "Unknown" why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac_cute Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 They already told you!!! You must search these strings: "ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Q6700(your processor)"; or "ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Q6700 (your processor)"; Search carefully and you will find it... EDIT:/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/"English or your language".lproj.Open "AboutThisMac.strings" This is the full path...
