HT1338 intel core duo / can't migrate to icloud?
Hi. I would like some help in clarifying please. I have an older Macbook with an Intel Core Duo running Snow Leopard. I can't upgrade to Lion. I have used my .mac account/Mobileme for years primarily for email purposes, idisk, and the gallery (I understand the idisk and gallery are being discontinued). I'm trying to understand whether I can migrate to icloud and/or whether I really need it. I don't have any other devices that I need to sync with. I've already copied my idisk onto my hard drive and I'm not too worried about the gallery because I have my photos and movies stored elsewhere.
Questions:
1. Do I need to migrate to icloud in order to keep my @mac and @me email addresses?
2. Will the @mac email address be discontinued after June 30 (assuming I've migrated to icloud)?
3. Is it physically possible for me to migrate to icloud if I am using Snow Leopard? If so, do I follow the steps as outlined on the main migration page (i.e. acknowledge that I'm using the required software)?
I believe there may be a workaround to #3 but am not sure if that's what I'm looking for. Thank you for your help.
Dave
Hi Dave,
Questions:
1. Do I need to migrate to icloud in order to keep my @mac and @me email addresses?
2. Will the @mac email address be discontinued after June 30 (assuming I've migrated to icloud)?
3. Is it physically possible for me to migrate to icloud if I am using Snow Leopard? If so, do I follow the steps as outlined on the main migration page (i.e. acknowledge that I'm using the required software)?
Answers:
1. Yes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4597). MobileMe accounts must be migrated before the end of MobileMe otherwise they end along with the service.
2. No. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4597)
3. I haven't done it recently but yes.
-- You will need to update the mail server settings in your Mail program once the migration is complete as iCloud uses a different set of mail servers than MobileMe: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.
Cheers.

Intel Core Duo - can't get USB modems to work
Hi, I have a broadband account with Tiscali who have now provided me with two USB DSL modems (Speedtouch 330 & Sagem 800) but I still can't get either to work. (My system is the 20" Imac Intel Core Duo)
I've installed latest OS X (10.4.6), tried drivers from Tiscali website and modem manufacturer's but still nothing (system says modem is not connected - both green lights stay on on Sagem, one red on speedtouch).
If anyone can offer advice, or if anyone has an alternative that's working for them I'd much appretiate the advice.
Thank you
LeeSolution is stated as an ADSL Router - will this be compatible with Tiscali my internet broadband supplier?
Thanks
An ADSL router is compatible with all UK ADSL isp's.
Don't use a d-link modem unless you already own a standard router. I would suggest you get an ADSL router. An ADSL router is a modem and router combined.
The netgear box that was already suggested in this thread can be source for about £60 if you shop around and is a doddle to setup.
otherwise you can find cheap adsl routers at http://www.solwise.co.uk from Hull. -

Advice on migrating from G5 to Intel Core Duo Mini
I'm running 10.5.8 on a G5 and wanting to migrate to a new Intel Core Duo Mac Mini running Snow Leopard. I would like to migrate all of my files and settings and applications to the new machine, but am looking for advice about potential pitfalls. I've read in some of the other discussions about problems with software from my G5 overwriting the Intel versions of the software on the newer machine, but could not glean enough from those to fully understand what the issues are. My principal software components that I don't want to have to reinstall are things like CS3, Office 2008, and older versions of things like iMovie, etc. I have a Time Machine backup that I could also migrate from, but don't know if that will alleviate potential problems. Any advice would be appreciated.
Before you jump the bandwagon, make sure to have read this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
Sometimes the Migration/Setup Assistant doesn't work between PowerPC and Intel Macs. The CoreDuo Mac Mini is not much of an improvement over a G5 except for the native Windows virtualization, and support for Snow Leopard, and Intel Mac only applications, and built-in Front Row support. The Core2Duo Mac Mini on the other hand supports Lion, and generally is faster than a G5 except for the few applications that are G5 optimized or can take advantage of the higher RAM upgrade possibilities than most of the Mac Minis, and the G5 supports Classic applications where the Mac Mini Intel versions do not. So before getting the Mac Mini make sure all the applications or at least some can take advantage of the Mac Minis own advantages. -
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1 on an iMac 2,66 Ghz intel core Duo with8GB DDR3 and Lion 10.7.3 I have 260000 mp3 stored on a My Book 3 TB external fire wire 800 Drive - when I play songs I get short interruptions every 20 to 30 seconds. Can't iTunes handle that number of songs?

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.
Try calling 1-800-676-2775. Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk). *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
Have you considered Snow Leopard?. Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. -

Apple keep telling me I need to update to icloud but I'm not sure if Lion will work on my Mac. I've upgraded to snow leopard which seems to have knackered my .me or .mac account (whatever it's called now), so I don't seem to have any option but to upgrade to Lion if I every want to see my emails again.
Apple say I must have a Intel Core 2 processor for Lion to work...... at least I think that's what they say.
I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion?Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
If you have a Core Duo model then you cannot upgrade to Lion. You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but iCloud is not available for Snow Leopard.
Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. Look for the Model ID in the displayed information. If you have a MacBookPro 2,1 or later then you have a Core 2 Duo model and can upgrade to Lion. -

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?
I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.
Ciao. -

I face problems with the Nvidia 8800 GS on my iMac 24'' 3.06Ghz intel core duo. OS 10.06.08. What can I do to solve the problem and if you recommend upgrade to mountain Lion
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.

G4 iMac migrates to Intel Core Duo
I just migrated the contents of my 17” G4 iMac to a 20” Core Duo. The only piece of software that wouldn’t run on the new Mac was Nikon Capture 4.4.1; upon launching, it told me that it was missing necessary files. I reloaded the software from my original 4.0 discs. This time the error message said to click to go to PACE and run the installer, which I did. The installer claimed to run successfully, but NC4 still claimed to be missing files. At this point I went to the NikonUSA website and downloaded the NC4.2 updater. After running this and rebooting, NC4 ran just fine. I finally updated it back to V4.4.1, which also works properly.
Rosetta notwithstanding, compared to running NC4 on the G4, it’s much faster. Opening a D200 RAW file on the Core Duo is about as fast as opening a D2h file on the G4--not instantaneous, but reasonable at around 7 seconds. Same goes for edit files.
With 2 gigs of RAM on the Core Duo, NC doesn’t suck up all the memory, as it did on the 1 gig G4. No “page outs” when working on several RAW files at a time. This is much better performance than I had been expecting from it.
PSE3 work reasonably well, too. Faster than on the G4, at least.
While I was trying to get NC4 to work again, I did play around with iPhoto6. It seems very fast and has some interesting features, so I’ll probably start using it too.
All the included iLife6 programs seem to work well, and much faster than on the G4.
I had no problems with any peripherals except a very old USB CameraMate Compact Flash card reader, for which the OS X driver appears to no longer function. A no-name card reader I got for free from OMax works fine, though. So does my Epson 1650 flatbed ( I use PSE3 to access it), a QPS external firewire drive and an Epson 1270 printer. No problems with Wi-Fi or ethernet,either. When I plugged the ethernet cable fron the Core Duo into my Airport Extreme base, the computer automatically switched its settings from Airport to ethernet--neat!
This is the seventh Mac I’ve owned and the easiest migration so far. The improvements in performance and in the quality of the display greatly exceed my expectations.
