About This Mac
4. My Info loading correctly in the About Mac page
If by that you mean it shows "Unknown Processor". OSX will not display the correct processor type. If you don't like "Unknown Processor" you can manually change it along with creating your own logo.
Editing About This Mac
This infomation is stored in "AboutThisMac.strings" in "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/"
Make a backup copy of this file and open it up. Find:
"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";
and change it to what you want it to show for example:
"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "AMD Athlon X2 5000+ 2.6Ghz";
or for a laugh:
"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Cyrix 6x86 PR 133+ 110MHZ";
Editing Apple Logo on About This Mac
The logo is located in "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources" as "MacOSX.tif". Back this file up and replace it with your own using the same name. Use Disk Utility or Terminal to fix permissions.
