Hello,
I have an old macbook that is running on recovery harddisk and I want to know it specs. but the serial number is scraped off from use.
How can i identify the specs. If it helps it uses a A1185 model battery and copyright is from 2005.
Thanks
Go to the "Apple Menu" () in the top left corner and select "About this Macintosh" In the Dialog click "More Information".
enjoy
Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info...
You can see your MacBook's Serial Number by twice clicks on "Version 10.x.x"(just above of "Software Updating" button) of About This Mac windows.
'It boots into Mac OS X Utilities, it has no operating system installed.
Is there a way from the terminal?
When it boots into "Mac OS Utilities", is there something like "System Information"
Otherwise you can try to boot into single user mode there is some information displayed. To do that, you have to press and hold "Command-S" while booting.

Here's how to reinstall Lion(most MacBook supported) without Disc.
Open Terminal.app, then type
uname -a
to show you about Mac OSX which booted now.
When I type in my apple id it says. "the item is temporarily unavailable."
and it says command not found
OK, try this:
Boot into single user mode, to do that, you have to press and hold "Command-S" while booting.
Wait until you see something like this
:/ root #
Then type:
ioreg -d 2 -k IOKitBuildVersion
At the end you should see something like:
+-o MacBookPro1,1
Then type:
ioreg -d 2 -l -n MacBookPro1,1
Replace the 'MacBookPro1,1' with the String with the string of the first iron output.
