Mod About This Mac 10.8!

Thanks for this guide.

I just wanted to add on a solution in case anyone was having trouble with the changes sticking after editing the plist.

I restarted numerous times, tried hidden/show files in terminal, and the rest of the tricks, but nothing stuck. So I ended up reinstalling the MacPro3.1 defs through Multibeast again, and after a restart, my changes showed up. Perfect now. Thanks!

Hmm... I am still unable to change my name in the com.apple.SystemProfiler.plist. I am not sure what all the .lockfile types are but even in creating a new user, they're there. Does anyone have any idea or suggestion on this?

Thanks!

Ok so I go this working and it "was" awesome. However, I changed my System Definition from iMac 12,2 to Mac Pro 3,1 and then back and forth a couple times with MultiBeast to get my speakers to stop popping (which actually worked). But then, my "about this mac" wont accept anything now. I've even deleted the file and rebooted.
The screen just says "mac pro" nothing else and nothing on the second line.


Could the OS be "caching" the info some how? Thanks for the help!

Anyone figured this out? My info in the SystemProfile.plist doesn't affect anything...only changes within the file.

Losing my mind here

I cant remember, but is there not a hidden .plist file somewhere in the system >> prefs you need to edit?

I have a very different problem. When I click "About This Mac", I am immediately dumped out of my desktop, back to the login screen. It's really weird, it happened first to my partner's hack, then mine. I don't recall making any changes anywhere that should have caused this behavior. I can still get to the System Profiler by holding the Alt key and clicking "System Information".

One more possibly important piece of information is that when I'm in System Profiler, everything works as it should except for "Memory". When I click "Memory", I get the message, "There was an error while gathering this information."

Does anyone have any idea about what's going on? Or how I can fix it?
