Incorrect model name shown for Retina MacBook Pro 2014

This is interesting. If you’re using a Retina MacBook Pro 2014 model, you might have noticed that the model name under Apple menu —> About This Mac —> More Info is incorrect.

Instead of seeing your Mac model you see a random number. The solution comes from this :

  1. Close System Information if it’s open.
  2. In the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Go To Folder.
  3. Type ~/Library/Preferences and then press the Go button.
  4. Find the file “com.apple.SystemProfiler.plist” and drag it to the Trash.
