shouldn't this be called "Apple System Profiler" or "System Profiler (Apple)" ?    мдснєтє тдлкЅТЦФФ 13:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Can't be "Apple System Profiler" cos the program used to be called that - just moved it to "System Profiler (Apple)"

Apple System Profiler was not only bundled with Mac OS 7.6 and later

edit

I remember that Power Macs used to have a full-featured "Apple Macintosh CD" bundled with them, along with the retail System 7.5 as only system software floppy disks, until the retail Mac OS was a full-featured CD-ROM starting with version 7.6, and Apple System Profiler was one of the "extras" included on the "Apple Macintosh CD"s (version 1.0 on the CD bundled with the Power Macintosh 9500/180MP and 9500/200 and version 1.1.2 on the CD bundled with the Power Macintosh 9600), so Apple System Profiler wasn't only bundled with Mac OS 7.6 and later (which were bundled with Apple System Profiler 1.1.3 and later). --X686 07:56, 16 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure renaming to "System Information (OS X)" is appropriate

edit

Apple may have renamed their second-generation OS for the Mac "OS X" from "Mac OS X", but that's not necessarily a reason to rename this page to give the current name for one of the two flavors of Mac operating system that included a "System Information" application. GIven that the "classic" Mac system software also had it, putting "OS X" in the title is misleading; if "Mac OS" is deemed inappropriate because "Mac" was dropped from the second-generation OS's name a few years ago (even though the Mac OS page covers both OSes), perhaps "System Information (Mac software)" or something such as that would be appropriate.

I'm not personally at all bothered by "System Information (Mac OS)", however. Guy Harris (talk) 21:00, 31 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Or "System Information (Apple)", as per System Profiler (Apple) (discussed above in an earlier section). Guy Harris (talk) 21:01, 31 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Hello, Guy Harris. I think "System Information (Apple)", "System Information (Mac)", or something of the sort would be a more appropriate name than what it was previously. If you're in favor of moving the page to either of those, that'd certainly be fine by me. My main concern was that including "Mac OS" in the title could be misleading; although, on second thought, using the more recent operating system's name is probably not much better. You bring up a good point with regard to the Mac OS page. Thanks. —zziccardi (talk) 06:28, 1 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
