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.

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.

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

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.

PowerMac G5 vs iMac Intel Core Duo

Hello, I currently have a PowerMac G5 Dual Core and am thinking of getting another computer. I have a question. In terms of performance, what is faster, the G5 (Dual) on the PowerMac or the Intel Core Duo on the iMac (running at the same speed).
And at the bottomline, what would be the machine that I want for gaming, publishing, and video editing? The PowerMac G5 (Dual) or the iMac with Intel.
Thanks for the assistance!! Have a good one.
P.S. Are there any plans of releasing a PowerMac with an Intel processor.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

(Oh...right...sorry for mentioning that) Thanks for hte response!
Anyways, I just want a computer that will not be outdated for a while. I don't want to purchase the G5, and then months down the road, not see the G5 in production anymore.
One thing about the iMac I'm not too fond of is the lack of upgradibility (or so it seems so). Due to it's size, it would be very difficult for someone to upgrade it's internal components.
I will be purchasing either today evening of tommorow, and I want to know what will be my best choice for the future, the iMac Intel Core Duo or the PowerMac G5.
I always thought of the PowerMac G5 as a beast, and I still do, but some of the latest reviews and benchmark tests I have seen have said that the iMac (with Intel Core Duo) has performed very close to the PowerMac.

Which install DVDs on ebay for imac 20" tiger intel core duo?

Hi everbody.
Those folks selling install DVD's on ebay don't usually specify which machine their discs are for.PLUS THEY DONT ACCEPT RETURNS.
Anyone know how I can determine which Tiger discs will restore my imac 20" intel core duo SERIAL NUMBER W86****NU2P ???
Any help will be great, thanks!!
Jorge in SA

Please don't post your serial number in your post. Take a look at this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159#iMac it will have the version of Mac OS that came with your iMac. Try to match that with the DVDs on eBay. Or you can always call Apple to order it.

Imac Intel Core Duo

Can I install arch without problems in the new apple iMac with Intel core duo processor?
Has anyone tried that?
That machines look really really nice!!

Toast 7 works brilliant on my iMac Core Duo. A lot
better than my Powerbook G4.
EyeTV 2 is working fine on my Intel Core Duo as well.
I'm new to Mac, and bought an eyetv (PX-TV402U for Mac) with my iMac core duo. However, it doesn't run worth a hoot, can get some channels but lots of snow in picture. I'm sure I read somewhere on Plextor's site about a software issue with new core duo, but can't find it now and can't get a responce from Plextor. You say yours is working fine, is that because you have Toast 7? I'm stumped at the moment. Got any suggestions?

Does 2GB ram stick exist for iMac Intel Core Duo?

looking to max out my iMac on Ram (at least 2GB) as i Find it real slow with the 512MB it comes standard with.
1) Is my only option to buy 2 x 1GB or is there a 2GB stick on the market?
2) If going for the 2 x 1GB am I going to see a significant difference beyond just having the standard 512MB paired to a new 1GB?
Thanks

I bought 2 1GB sticks of Ram, installed them... ran my iMac 20 Intel core duo, then went to 1.5 GB of RAM. Honestly, I don't see the advantage of going to 2 GB. Personally save yourself the $$$ and wait about a year or 2 then upgrade. I am returning 1 stick which I paid 109 for. BTW Fry's electronics has Corsair 1 GB PC5300 sticks for 109.00 with a 20.00 rebate. Cosair if definitely a name you can trust.
Personally 1.5 GB is te magic number.
To comment on GLO's comment about pairs: There is no reason to match your memory. These iMac's do not run in dual channel mode. I contacted AppleCare and was told that there is no advantage running paired sticks of memory on the new machines.
