Lion and Apple MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (13-inch Black) MA701LL/A

Anyone here tried to upgrade the MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (13-inch Black) MA701LL/A Laptop/Notebook to Lion?
I wonder if this laptop has enough power to support Lion. So far I upgraded the memory to its max of 2G.
according to this page:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256
it should work, but i wanted to get some feedback from users.
thx

That folder with a question mark means your computer can't find the hard drive. It's possible the drive is physically damaged, but it may also be an error in the system files that has the computer "lost."
Do you have your install discs handy? If so, pop in Install Disc 1 and hold the C key while booting the computer. Once the Installer loads, choose "disk Utility" from the Utilities menu. Does your Hard drive appear? If so, choose the Repair Disk option. If you see any messages saying something can't be repaired, post the messages here. Also check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive; this is in the lower right corner of the window.
Best of luck!

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

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.

New refurb MacBook 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo shutting down...help!

Refurbished MacBook 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, White 1GB RAM, combo arrived yesterday. Running Jaguar. Ran fine out of the box on battery power for about 3 hours till the battery ran out when it shut itself down. Now its shutting off with the button gently pulsing, every few seconds. Won't stay up long enough to get at system prefs or anything else for that matter. One very disappointed 10 year old in our house. Any known issues or fixes? Thanks

Are you sure its running Jaguar? Maybe you meant leopard?
Have you charged the battery already? Try to connect the power adapter and see if that allows you to turn on the computer longer. If the same issue persists, reset the SMC following these steps:

Are the older MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 802.11N ready?

I'm looking into buying an "older" or "last generation" MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
I seem to remember reading that even though it's 802.11g ready, there is a firmware update to bring it up to 802.11N...True or False?
If True were would I find that info?
Many Thanks!

Not sure if the older models have n or not...
But if they don't you can purchase the "n" function from the apple store:

Replace DVR-K05PE (iMac 20-inch 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo (MA200LL))

Hi all,
i need to replace the internal superdrive Pioneer DVR-K05PE with new one, but it's hard to find it in the net.
Can someone tell me if theres other drive compatible with my iMac 20-inch 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo (MA200LL).
Thanks

I had a similar problem with my G4 iMac. I ended up just leaving the dead drive in the computer and picking up an external LaCie CD/DVD burner. The model I bought is no longer available (if you're interested in seeing the specs, it's here: http://www.amazon.com/LaCie-16x-LightScribe-FireWire-300978U/dp/B000FGJVF4 ) but I've had no problems with it whatsoever. Even after almost 3 years of heavy use, it is still going strong.

in the moment i use 10.6.8 and i want to update for installing iwork09, wich requiered 10.7 or more. i need the new iwork, cause my old pages and numbers dont work together with the iwork on my ipad4.
ok, thank you, nice greetings

10.7 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a Late 2006 Core 2 Duo model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

I'm running OS10.6.8 on an "old" Macbook Pro with Intel Core Duo 32. My work computer is down and I need to use Photoshop and cannot find a version that will run on here! It lets me use Illustrator 10, Indesign CS6, but Photoshop 4, 5, 5.5 and I can't get

Please help.

Your macbook pro has a 32 bit processor and not a 64 bit processor?
If so, i believe photoshop cs5 is the newest photoshop version that will work on your Macbook Pro.
System requirements | Photoshop
You can get a 30 day trial trial version of photoshop cs5 from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
Also, photoshop cs through cs4 should work as well, but cs3, cs4 and cs5 will run better since cs and cs2 require Rosetta and can be kinda slow at times.

Macbook 2.0 intel core duo ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS HELP PLS

This all started last week. In an effort to be more economical, I decided to keep my macbook and not get a new one. The battery was not doing well...so i bought a new one. I purchased Leopard and tried to install it...it installed but after it just stayed stuck on the gray apple screen. I tried troubleshooting. I reinstalled Tiger that came with it and it had the same problems. Anyways...a couple days ago I tried to reinstall Tiger again and it started working. I have been having problems with the rainbow wheel coming up all the time...so I figured maybe the ram is bad. I ordered new ram from crucial. I got it today and installed it and now the macbook will not even power up. I followed the troubleshoot guidelines and even installed the old ram again nothing.
So, I'm stuck. Is the logic board again? I had it replaced like 7 months after getting the macbook and now it is out of warranty. Please help. Thanks

Martin,
Since you say it worked to some degree but then not at all after installing new RAM and then after reinstalling the old RAM it would not even work as well as it had prior to the RAM installs, then it sounds like one possibility could be that the logic board is failing do to cracked circuit traces (caused by thermal cycling) and the removing and reinstalling the RAM exacerbated the problem.
The next thing I would try to do would be to cool down the computer to 50F or so and try it. Next try heating it up to 90F or so and try again. The temperature changes can affect a defective logic board. Not that this will solve your problem, but it can tend to validate the possibility of a defective board.

2006 iMAC intel core duo Kernel Panic + Black Curtain of Death

I've had this iMAC since 2006 w/o a problem. Lately been getting the "curtain of death" and screen to restart the computer. Saw similar discussions about these Kernel Panics. Brought the iMAC to Apple Store and tech thought it was a bad logic board and recommended not to fix it ($800+). I have trouble, as did the tech getting it to boot. Today I got it to boot and before it crashed again, I managed to run the Hardware Test from the original OS disc 1. This showed no problem in both tests. Did get the panic log (see below) can anyone make heads or tails of this? Thanks

If you attempt to boot from an external HD that is set up as a bootable clone and it fails to boot that almost certainly points to the Mac having a hardware. The bootable clone would have had to be setup prior to the failure. Many people (myself included) keep redundant backups, I would recommend doing the same when you have either repaired or replaced the current machine. Macworld runs articles where users describe their own backup strategies, I'd recommend reading them and then deciding which works best for your needs.

Upgrade to Lion if running Intel Core Duo?

I have a MacBook with the Intel Core Duo (not the Intel Core 2 Duo). I started to upgrade to Lion and Step 1 says to make sure your Mac can run Lion. The Intel Core Duo is not mentioned. Does any one know if Lion can be installed at all? I have had a Mobile Me account for about 8 years and I am trying to transition to iCloud. What's a person suppose to do?
Thanks!

Lion needs Core2Duo.
You need to buy new equipment.
Sorry.

Difference between Intel Core Duo and Intel Core 2 Duo

I bought my MBP in November of last year, before the update on the Pros. However, it says about the new Pros that they have Intel Core 2 Duo processors, which are faster than the Intel Core Duos of previous MBPs. I know I bought mine before they updated them, but my "About This Mac" says that mine has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. So, did they update the processors before this latest update, or do have one of the new Macbooks somehow, or what happened? And, is there any difference between my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo?

Only the original Intel machines came with Core Duo processors. The principal difference is that Core Duos are 32-bit and Core 2 Duos are 64-bit processors. There were also increases in available clock speed, L2 cache, and frontside bus speed. The first models only addressed 2 GBs of RAM. Later models had a different memory controller that enabled 3 GBs of user accessible RAM (4 GBs installed) and even later models such as yours had a memory controller that enabled accessing 4 GBs of RAM (4 GBs installed.)
The first Intel Minis came with a Core Solo processor which had only one core instead of two.
