64 bit and the iMac 24",  3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory

Hello,
I am confused about the whole 32 bit 64 bit situation
I have installed Snow leopard on my new iMac 24", 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory.
Can this machine run 64bit? I thought it was a 32 bit machine.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Most Apple application run in 64 bit mode no matter what. Third party apps will if they are designed to. The unix kernel defaults to 32 bit mode for compatibility reasons. You can switch it to 64 if you like. I tried it and lost my Kensington mouse driver. Switching back to 32 brought it back. There is very little reason a normal user would need to run in 64 bit mode... but dangit I WANT to! Sadly my extra mouse buttons are more important...

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • I'm investigating whether I can take on 'Lion' when it's released. The information states that your mac needs Intel Core 2 Duo. Is this the same as '2 GHz Intel Core Duo' which is what it actually states my mac has?

    I'm investigating whether I can take on 'Lion' when it's released. The information states that your mac needs 'Intel Core 2 Duo'. Is this the same as '2 GHz Intel Core Duo' which is what it actually states my mac has when I click 'About This Mac'?

    I could not agree more! My MBP 2007 Intel Core Duo has had its logic board replaced not to long ago (DVI port died). The original hard drive is running great and I am running Snow Leopard wonderfully.
    I was amped during the keynote and am really looking forward to Lion. I know the community is working hard to uncover a workaround because at present time, the solution (by new!) is not a worthy one. Especially when there is literally, nothing wrong with my existing machine.
    Apple, please ensure Lion will be available for Intel Core Duo machines, we are not that old! The closed architecture approach produces quality hardware. 4 years is a toddler perhaps teenager when it comes to apple hardware and technology. I predict I have at least 3-4 more years left in my current MBP 2007 machine.
    Much Love, Apple!

  • My Imac 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo keeps powering off

    Hi all,
    I have a 20inch 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo (Imac 4.1), Over the last few weeks the Mac would just power off on the odd occasion when using Apeture, I put this down to being the just overworked for processing picture. This seems to have been getting worse and kept occurring more and more often. Light Internet browsing was fine..
    I decided after some time to replace the 2gb memory i had to see if that would fix the issue, this seemed to work for a few days then the same issues returned.
    I now seeing this issue occured just by opening Safari and decided to rebuild the Imac, I completed the Snowleopard install and all seemed ok for a day then it re-occurred again and seemed to be worse, I then removed the 2gb memory and just kept with the 512mb as when bought... Still it keeps powering off. I have moved to different power sockets and still see the same issues.
    Please note in order to power the Imac backup up I have to leave the power out for about 20-30 minutes, If i leave the power plugged in it never boots backup up.
    I now decided to even revert back to Lion OS, but it just powers off during the install...
    I thinking it sounds like a Power supply issue but would like confirmation before I take it to a repair shop..
    cheers
    Dan.

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • Is Lion aka 10.7 supported on "iMac 27" 3,06GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo"?

    Hi,
    Will Apple support 10.7 (Lion) on  late 2009 Core 2 Duo iMac's?

    Anyone here who knows can't tell you and the rest of use don't know.
    You are going to have just wait until it is released to find out.

  • How to restore IMAC 2006 2.0 intel core duo to resell?

    I have an old 2006 IMAC 2.0 intel core that I want to resell as I just upgraded to a new IMAC.  How do I erase the entire computer and install for new user?

    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • Power and battery problems with MacBook Pro intel core duo

    Hi there, I've been having this problem for about a week now with my macbook pro where it shuts down a second after it's unplugged, even though the battery is full. I tested the power cord with another that works, and the same thing still happens. I've zapped the p-ram, and reset the MPU where you take out the battery and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and all that. I think it might be the logic board, or something within that? Any suggestions before I send it in to Apple for investigations?

    I started having the same problem several days ago. Unplug the magsafe connector, and the MBP powers suddenly powers off, even though the battery shows a full charge on both the menu bar and the battery leds.
    I decided to try a new battery after reading a number of posts here about the same problem.
    Back to normal with the new battery. So now I'll go back to Apple to get the non-functioning battery replaced under AppleCare. (I wanted a second battery anyways)
    Hope this helps.

  • I have: iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core i3, 4GB RAM, OS 10.7.5.  It seems that a few times a day, the internet turns off and I need to turn OFF and then ON. There has also been about 3x in a week where everything freezes and I have to power down.  What can I do?

    What can I do to find out what's wrong with my iMac?
    Internet keeps shutting down. I have to turn OFF and then ON. Sometimes, I'm just browsing the web, sometimes on Facebook and lately it happens when I'm on Dropbox uploading.
    A few times while editing photos on Lightroom or Photoshop the computer will freeze and I can't do anything but power off ..
    What can I do to see what's wrong with my iMac?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi! Thanks for the reply..
    No, I do not get any prompt whatsoever.. I can move the mouse but cannot click on anything.. Just frozen screen, can't close a window, can't click on apple symbol on top to try to force quit an app.. 

  • Imac 2.4 ghz intel core duo identification 7,1,

    I want to upgrade my hard drive. what is the largest one I can get?

    Sidney,
    I have the same iMac 7,1 and have upgraded the internal drive to 3TB.
    Yes, you will need suction cups. You can source them from an auto parts store. The suction cups used to pull out dents from car panels will work to lift the glass from your iMac. This is the most daunting task, but in the end was simple enough with suction cups.
    You can search google for instructions on installation of the HD once you have lifted the glass.
    Good luck.
    Sam.
