'''System Information''' (previously known as '''System Profiler''') is a [[software utility]] derived from field service diagnostics produced by Apple's Service Diagnostic Engineering team, at that time located in Apple satellite buildings in Campbell, California, that has been bundled with the [[Mac OS]] since [[Mac OS 7.6]] (until [[OS X]] it was called Apple System Profiler). Sometime between 10.6.8 and 10.7.2, System Profiler had its named changed to System Information. |
|||
It compiles technical information on all of the installed hardware, devices, drivers, applications, system settings, system software programs and [[kernel extension]]s installed on the host computer. It can export this information as [[plain text]], [[Rich Text Format|RTF]] or in the [[plist]] [[XML]] format. This information is used to diagnose problems. System Profiler can be extremely useful if attempting to diagnose a hardware problem. A user can send the information directly to [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] if the user desires. It has support for scripting automation through AppleScript and some limited support in Automator. |
|||
System information can also be accessed by using the "system_profiler" command through a Terminal application. For more information, execute [https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/system_profiler.8.html man system_profiler] or "system_profiler -h" in an OS X terminal application. |

Redirect to:
- From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.
- To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.
