Sabr Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Unfortunately I have no way of knowing if anything is missing from that release. Maybe when I finish up a few more things and have a chance to upload to my FTP I could convince you to give it a try, see if the same problem exists. Ok, no worries. Thanks anyway.

exman Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Works, but is it meant to show the CPU overclocked speed or tbe default CPU speed? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98775-about-this-mac/page/2/#findComment-707918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cavallo Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well after a bit of trial and error I figured I would share my progress here to get more people to test it. This is just an installer that grabs your cpu info and outputs it for the "About this Mac" window. Please try it and report back, I have included support for all languages, so hopefully it works for everyone. AboutThisMac AboutThisMac.zip Thanks it works fine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98775-about-this-mac/page/2/#findComment-708071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11c Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Works, but is it meant to show the CPU overclocked speed or tbe default CPU speed? If you try the last one I posted it should pull the cpu speed like profiler does, so it should be correct.

Boot Camp Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Is there a way to uninstall it? I want to edit with "AboutThisMac.strings" but when I edit it, it says the same thing on the About This Mac as the installer made it. Please help.

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Ditto on the question about the uninstalation (new word) I installed it on my MacBook for some strange reason... this app makes users of real Macs feel left out Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98775-about-this-mac/page/2/#findComment-718725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macshiba Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 How do you make the About This Mac screen with a dark gray background like above?

eddie11c Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Browse to /System/Library/CoreServices/Resources/<your language> and open AppleSystemInfo.strings and scroll down to unknown, as most cpu's that are reported as such. Just change the text where you currently see your cpu info back to "unkown" or whatever you want.

TKiet Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 will this work with Kalyway? Sometimes I feel insecure after patching as I might get kernel panics, but for those who use Kalyway 10.5.2, please report Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98775-about-this-mac/page/2/#findComment-721108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicida1.nun Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 it only shows the stock speed not the overclock speed. ideas? also how can i fully remove this program?

shishnit Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Earlier I posted that it works, but yes it only works for showing the stock speed, nothing about over clocking or under. It's still better than showing x.x ghz unknown proccessor though.

iSkylla Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Does not show correctly for me. About this mac shows wrong CPU, but terminal command shows correct CPU but wrong speed, it is overclocked. Intel® Pentium® Dual CPU E2160 @ 1.80GHz CPU is overclocked to 3.4Ghz.
