  • Can I upgrade a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

    Can I upgrade a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

    Yes this machine will run 10.6 with no problem
    Sadly it will not be able to run 10.7 in the future though.

  • I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, what is possible with Lion

    I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo,  is that possible to operate Lion with this iMac

    Here is the information about  downloading Lion when it is released in July.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
    If you don't meet these requirements, as of now, you wouldn't be able to run Lion.  If anything changes, I am sure Apple will let us know.

  • Adobe Air on iMac G5  Intel Core Duo 2133

    I have just tried to download an update to Adobe Air and been notified that the updates will no longer work on my iMac.
    This is the quote from their web site :
    Adobe will be discontinuing support of PowerPC-based computers and the Windows 2000 operating system for Adobe AIR and will no longer provide security updates for Adobe AIR on these operating systems.
    As I have an Intel based machine is this the PowerPC model they talk about?
    What on earth do I have to do now? Do I delete Adobe Air and make several applications useless? I am starting to get downloadable things that use the latest Adobe Air....
    Marjorie

    Your signature says: 867 MHz PowerPC G4
    Your thread title says iMac G5 Intel Core Duo 2133. There is no such thing. It is either an Intel imac or a PPC G5 iMac.
    As I have an Intel based machine is this the PowerPC model they talk about?
    Obviously, if what you quote is accurate.
    Please clarify what Mac you actually have, and what operating system you use (you quote Panther).

  • Dithered Colors in iPhoto 6 on iMac 20" Intel Core Duo with 1.5GB RAM

    Hi.
    I have a 20" iMac Intel Core Duo. Shoot at 100 ISO, sRGB, with a Canon Digital Rebel XT in a studio setting. When viewing the images in iPhoto they have a noticeable dithering on the colors, especially on the seamless. Sometimes it's bad.
    If I view them full screen in Comparison mode I see it there, too. Detail is intact, but the colors dither. Doesn't happen in Photoshop CS2, and I don't remember if it happens in Preview...
    Any ideas of what is going on?

    Scott:
    Are you running the latest Quicktime version, 7.1.5? If not that may have something to do with it. Also what color profile are the files assigned? You can check that out by viewing them with Preview and using the Summary pane of the Info window there. Are you shoot RAW and importing those files? If so there may be addition issues that I can't help you with although as I understand it iPhoto creates a jpg file from the RAW file upon import and that's what you're working with.
    Make sure your monitor is set to millions. Although since CS2 doesn't show that effect I'm guessing it is set to that. But check anyway.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can I run CS5 on a Intel Core Duo

    Don't know or I wouldn't be asking. Seems smart to check before I download 20 gigs of Software for a 4 year old machine.

  • Imac 2Ghz Intel Core Duo to Philips Flat Screen TV

    Appears I know even less about iMAc than I thought! Learn something new everyday!!
    Hi, I have used the forums to search for info in the past and they are a great source of info.
    I am trying to look for ways to link my Imac Intel Core Duo (with OSX 10.5.8 and GB Ram + a Dvi output for video) (which is in a cupboard which I record music) to my TV (which is in a far more comfortable environment!)
    As the cupboard is next to the living room my bluetooth keyboard and mouse will be usuable on the mac but I want to see the display on the TV!
    Is this possible?
    The TV is a Philips 32PFL5522D(user manual http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/3/32pfl5522d05/32pfl5522d_05_dfueng.pdf)
    Cabling it would be OK but messy. Wireless would be perfect!
    Dont know how to do either though!
    Any hints, tips or suggestions would be gratefully received
    Cheers
    Neil

  • Can a MacBook Pro1,1 - 2GHz Intel Core Duo be upgraded to Lion or even Leopard?

    Is it possible to upgrade the OS from Tiger to either Lion or Leopard on a MacBookPro1,1  2GHz Intel Core Duo (2006)?  Need to upgrade Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft software...

    Here's something to consider. I see you have 1G RAM. That works well enough for Tiger 10.4. However, I think Leopard or Snow Leopard will be happier if you increase the RAM.
    Your MBP can handle up to 2G of RAM. It has two RAM slots'In your case, there would be one 512MB module in each slot. You could replace one 512MB module with a 1G module and have a total over 1.5G. That would be a big help. Or replace both. If you are in the US, RAM is not expensive (see: 2.0GB Upgrade Kit                 (1.0GB Modules x 2 Matched) for US$33), and the RAM is easily installed even by the most novice user.
    Here are the Apple Instructions for installing RAM in teh first Gen MacBook Pros:

  • I have an imac with intel core duo processor.  Will I be able to upgrade to the new Lion system that icloud is associated with?

    I have an Imac with the Intel Core Duo Processor.  Will I be able to upgrade to the new OSX Lion?

    You need a Core 2 Duo or later to use Lion.  You will need to install Snow Leopard in order to access the Mac App Store to download Lion when it becomes available.

  • Lion for Imac G5 Intel Core Duo

    I understand that upgrading to Lion needs Intel chipset. I have an Imac G5 Core Duo (currently running OSX 10.5.8), but not the Core 2 Duo that's listed in the Lion specs. Will Lion work with Intel Core Duo? I realize that I'll need to put Snow Leopard on first.
    Thx / AWL

    Lion won't work on a G5 or Core Duo Mac.

  • Replace hard drive iMac 20" intel core duo

    How to do it? (see title)

    Very carefully.. It is not easy and a lot of other things can go wrong.
    see > iMac Intel 20" EMC 2105 and 2118 Repair - iFixit
    Study the iFixit step by step Hard Drive Replace DIY several times before digging in.
    As a precaution, be warned that the iSight/Mic cable, Display cables, SATA cable, Sensor cables and all of the Board connections are very brittle from heat and age.
    On the up side: I have had real good luck using the WD Caviar Blue Hard Drives in the Early Core Duo models, they run cooler and quieter than the OEM Hard Drives.

  • My iMac A1173 intel core duo 1.83 GHz is beyond sluggish

    Everything I try to do with my iMac seems to be taking forever (no really, it's slow)
    I checked out what I could with the system profiler and it says everything is good to go... albeit, it took an hour just to go through the list. Safari takes forever to upload a page (for example, I'm working from my macBook Pro now 'cause typing this on the iMac was just too painful. The little blue dot in the dock no longer shows when an application is open... I bought this computer in August of 2006... don't tell me it's time for a new one... Can someone show me the steps to take to see what the problem is?
    Thanks

    Just downloaded the java update... things seem better now... anyone know if the two are related?

  • Apple iMac 20" Intel Core Duo 2007 (October) - White Screen Bootup

    Hello guys, apologies if anyone has opened a thread similar to this. I know its a common problem but I haven't got a clear answer.
    Basically, I bought an iMac today off eBay 'spares or repair'. Knowingly, it has a white screen at boot problem. I though to myself, I know abit about Macs ie resetting PRAM, SMC, boot keys to force boot from USB, DVD etc. However nothing I have tried is working. This is what I have experienced so far...
    * Turn iMac on, chord chimes once. Computer enters white screen but with NO APPLE LOGO, and NO CURSER. It looks as if its about to boot up. But nothing, it doesn't get past this stage. As I write this, my screen has been white for the past 30 minutes no change.
    *I can hear a fan kicking in, or it maybe the hard drive...im not sure. However certainly no clicks, grinding, whirring sounds.
    *Reset PRAM holding alt, apple, P, R. It goes through the chimes x 3. When buttons are released, it again stalls at white screen.
    *Reset SMC, unplugged all peripherals and power overnight. Held down power for 10-20 seconds. No change.
    *Have removed RAM, turned on computer and I get loud electronic beeps indicating the logic board recognises no RAM. Could be a good sign the logic board has signs of life? Also tried swapping RAM sticks around, no change.
    *Tried booting form DVD, holding CMD C, also CMD D...nothing works. However the keyboard definitely works because I can eject the disc. So the computer is showing signs of life, just no display.
    *Tried booting from USB stick with OSX Lion pre installed, holding down OPTION did nothing.
    *The previous owner told me he replaced the graphics card with a known good one. So it kind of rules that out, but this doesn't look like a graphics problem to me. But I'm no expert!
    I read somewhere on another forum that the hard drive can fail in such a way, that you cannot boot from another device. So if it fails, your only option is to unplug the hard drive so it forces the computer to look elsewhere. Not sure if this is true, but I'm willing to try anything! So I've just ordered some cheap torx drives and suction cups to remove the screen and have a look into the hard drive. I was going to replace the standard HD with an SSD anyway so I am hoping this is the culprit.
    PLEASE, if anybody can help point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful! Many thanks in advance.
    P.S - For your information, I also have a 2008 white MacBook, and a WIndows 8.1 PC I can use for test / diagnostic purposes if anyone knows how, or has any ideas?
    Regards
    Nick

    Hi Selia
    The first thing you need to do is backup at least your precious Photo's, Docs and Music in your User Folder to an External HD if your not already backed up using Time Machine, Disk Utility, Super Duper or Carbon Cloner.
    Then run the Apple Hardware Test and TechTool if you have Apple Care.

  • IMac G5 intel core duo extended desktop?

    I never really got a clear answer on this by searching google. Can I add another monitor to my iMac and make it extended desktop without adding any programs?

    Hi FRD714
    Yes, all you need is the correct Mini-DVI adapter and cable and you can connect up and use just about any display, projector or TV. The following Apple article will help you to determine which adapter you need and briefly explains the Mirrored and Extended Desktop features.

  • How concerned should I be on a new Intel Core i7 Extreme 990X CPU's erroneous sensor reading?

    My concern being when the CPU is running at idle the 990x's core #5 temperature is less than the ambient room temperature, i.e. 20 degrees celsius while the ambient temperature is at 25 dgrees.  Also, the adjacent core #4 is at 36 degrees, which is higher than any of the other four cores.
    Has anyone here with a 990x experienced something similar, or heard of something like this?  Could this be a serious flaw and should I contact Intel?
    FYI, this replaces an i7 950 CPU due to it running in the mid to high 90 degrees celsius when transcoding in Encore CS 5.1.
    The i7 990x transcodes a 7 minute test clip in less than 9 minutes and not one of the cores goes above 72 degrees celsius (the i7 950 took almost double that time).
    Hoping to hear from you.
    Cheers,
    Michael

    Gentlemen thank you for responding.
    FYI NewEgg did replace the CPU and the new one has been in this computer for the past two days.  The new CPU is of an entirely different batch, but unfortunately still demonstrates a lower than believable temperature for one core.  This is better than the first one which had an excessively low temperature for one core and the adjacent one was much higher.
    To illustrate the problem with the new CPU I ran it at 100% stress for more than 12 minutes and captured the attached images.
    As you can see the CPU is overclocked by 28% (i.e. to 4.4 GHz)  and the temperatures never exceeded 71 degrees celsius for one core averaging at 68 degrees celsius for all of them.
    Further, the idle temperatures were captured only a few minutes after the stress test.  Assuming the core numbering being from 1 through 6, core number 2 is the one that shows readings of 19 to 20 degrees when completely idle, while the ambient room temperature is 25 degrees celsius.
    Considering one pays $1K for this, what happened to quality control, Intel???
    Also, I have run Intel's test at the specified core speed and it shows a temperature headroom of 60 degrees celcuis, i.e. allowing for core operating temperatures at over 90 degrees celsius...
    Looking forward to your comments.
    Cheers,
    Michael
