e30cabrio Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I was notified 10.9.2 was available and figured it was easy to reinstall if it fubar'd my machine & what do ya know it worked! Thought I'd share. Oddly, in 10.8.5, my 15.4" machine showed up as 15", in 10.9.x.x is shows as 13" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e30cabrio Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I did not do anything to either .plist. I just used the installer using your instructions both times. I am not savvy enough to mess with things under the hood unless directed because I have an issue. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Your screen shots show different serial numbers - check the SMBIOS. I have updated my E6410 with no obvious issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30cabrio Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 The osinstall has given the machine the SN. It is a dell with a Dell Service Tag that does not resemble those SNs. ALso it's not so much an issue as an oddity. It runs better than my Late 2012 MacBook Air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The update shouldn't change the serial number. Nor does it normally change the model, which appears to be the case, thus the change from 15" to 13". Based on the screen shots, it look as if both have been changed. Assuming it was an App Store update as indicated in your initial post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open your smbios.plist with text pad or Chameleon Wizard, does it say MacBookPro9,1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30cabrio Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 I don't think the Apple Store update changed the SN, I think the wipe & reinstall to 10.9.1 changed it. I am away from the machine on my Air right now, I'll check it and post my findings thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30cabrio Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 It says Macbook Pro 9.2 Can I change it to something that will better reflect what it is?

Thanks SMbiosdate 21/03/12 SMbiosvendor Apple Inc. SMbiosversion MBP91.88Z.00D3.B00.1203211536 SMboardproduct Mac-6F01561E16C75D06 SMfamily MacBook Pro SMmanufacturer Apple Inc.

MBP 9.1 or 9.2. If you want to emulate like your ML, download Chameleon Wizard and generate a new smbios for MPB 9.1 which will give you 15" screen. This is just cosmetics.
