Make the Hackintosh, be a Hackintosh

[Evildemon989]

I'm wondering if there's anyway to get your Hackintosh to read as a Hackintosh. Instead of saying John Doe's iMac, make it say John Doe's Hackintosh. I'm guessing it would have to do with the smbios.plist? Thanks.

Simple fix...

Go to System Prefs...Sharing...change the Computer Name.

Alright, but is there anyway to change what shows up in System Profiler? Yea, my computer name is called something else, but it is still an iMac.

Go to /Extra/smbios.plist. Edit that "iMac" line to whatever you please. But changing it to something that Apple doesn't have may cause strange problems. Not recommended.
