MacBookPro 11,2 recognized as MacPro 3,1???

Post by Ludacrisvp »

Hello,

Hopefully someone can help me fix this... for some reason the fan control application sees my MacBookPro Mid-2014 as a Mac Pro 2008 model.

Is there some preference file I can adjust to change the detected hardware by this?

Nope. I did transfer my user using the migration assistant though.

We're aware of this issue, it will be fixed in the next update.

Current workaround is:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

killall MacsFanControl
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.crystalidea.macsfancontrol.plist
killall -u `id -u -n` cfprefsd
