Tutorial: Change Mac OS X System Version • Feb 10 • •, • • As I’ve said in a previous post, nearly the exact same process (that is, editing the systemversion.plist file) is used for this as for changing the iPhone OS version, since OSX and iPhone OS are based on the same core, but I’m writing this with more desktop OSX-specific steps and screenshots. I suppose the question would arise, “Why would one want to do this?” On Leopard, it is incredibly useful in situations where one may wish to install software that claims to require an update that you don’t want to install. I’ll be demonstrating on Snow Leopard, but the procedure is the same on both. In my demonstration, I will be changing the version number from 10.6.2 to 10.7.0. This has no practical use, but will suffice for demonstration purposes. Before: Requirements: 1. A basic knowledge of Terminal Steps: 1. Open Terminal. Type sudo nano -w /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist Does the file path look familiar from my last tutorial? You will be prompted for your password. You won’t see it on your screen. Press Enter again. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the end of the 10.6.2 under ProductUserVisibleVersion and erase the version number. Enter in a version number of your choice. Repeat for the version number displayed under ProductVersion. Press X (Control-X) to exit. It will ask you if you wish to “save modified buffer.” Press y. It will then ask for a file name to write.

Trouble is, I ran Software Update after and it wanted to download a new version of Safari & iTunes, which I didn’t give a second thought. Upon restart, the same issue arises with most apps: they won’t launch. System Preferences, 3rd Party apps and TextEdit remain unaffected, though. I reversed the edits to the.plist file and rebooted, but the same issues persist. I’m enabling root user, now, I’ll see if I can’t launch the apps from there. Joel Just in case anybody else runs into this issue, repairing the Disk Permissions with Disk Utility (found in your Applications/Utilities folder) will solve the problem of applications not launching (including the Installer). However, it won’t solve the problem of needing to downgrade your version of, say, Safari, if you happened to update it using your falsified OS X version number. In order to do that, it seems a full reinstall of a Combo Update package for whatever OS you were using (Leopard, Snow Leopard) is required. ![]() Guillermo Velasco Hi. I just suffered this morning the issue that makes my computer unusable. I was using 10.6.8 and changed a few times to 10.7 without problem. I think some problem may be if I were changed it to 10.8 (I don’t remember), but I always changed back to 10.6.8 after the soft prove. I don’t have another Mac, and the DVD reader doesn’t work anymore. I hope this works if not glup!
