Hi
All ISP's work with a Mac but most ISP's wont give support.
Some ISP's to look at ZEN http://www.zenbroadband.com/athome.aspx they have Mac support.
Pipex http://www.solo.pipex.net/index.php

Are just some that Mac user's are using, it's up to you how much you want to spend.

Can anyone get lion to work with the older intel core duo iMacs?

Has anyone been able to get Lion to run on the older Intel Core Duo iMacs?

My Macbook Pro with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger) can convert to Lion?

my Macbook Pro with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger) can convert to Lion?
Toyoo

These are some of the most common Questions (Q) and Answers (A) about Lion:
Q: What are the system requirements of the Lion upgrade?
A: Core2Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, and Xeon Intel CPUs with 2 GB of RAM in a Macintosh computer with 2 GB of RAM, and 4 GB (7 GB after installed) for downloading from the Mac App Store (Available in 10.6.6 and later). Unofficially, past upgrades have arbitrarily also required an additional 15% of the hard drive to be free for data.
Q: What applications are compatible with Lion?
A: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table provides a nice third party editable listing for people to include the compatible applications. Many of these compatibility entries came from before Lion's release. Please verify they are correct now that it has been released, and help edit it for more accurate data. Be sure to include any update version of Lion post release that you have found is or is not compatible with it, for the help of others who may be upgrading to Lion the first time. Additionally, as it was released, there is no Rosetta. This means any application that is stated to be PowerPC in the System Profiler, will not work with Lion, and needs a comparable application or upgrade to be compatible. The System Profiler is in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info. Intel and Universal applications are on the whole supported, though may still need some tweaking before every feature is compatible.
Q: Are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
A: With all upgrades, backing up your data at least twice has been a given. Hardware can fail independently of downloads and upgrades, though may happen simultaneously. Software may be found to be incompatible that has not been tested with the new upgrade, or combination of other software that might be installed with the upgrade. It is also strongly recommended once your backup is complete, to shut down your computer, remove all but Apple wired keyboard and mouse (notebooks remove all input devices). Then once done, reboot, and go directly to the upgrade distribution system available. Third party system tools, modification, and "maintenance" applications should be verified as compatible, or removed until known to be compatible. Check with developers how to remove if it is essential to use Lion before those applications become compatible. Most "maintenance" tools that deal with system cache, prebinding, are not really maintenance tools. Ask on forum when are the appropriate times to use them before assuming they should be used for upgrades or otherwise.
Q: How can I get from 10.4 or 10.5 to 10.6.6?
A: Purchase a 10.6 retail installer from an Apple retail or third party reseller. It has a picture of a Snow Leopard on the DVD, and does not say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. Install it, and then install the 10.6.6 combo update from:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
Q: Is it true that I can only get it from the Mac App Store?
A: Presently this truth is based on current documentation as of the writing of this article. It may change, but we can't speculate as to its change. It has a better chance of changing if users request something different at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Q: What limitations might one encounter if it doesn't change?
A: First off the 7 GB space limitation on the hard disc after it is installed. Secondly, the size of the download file requires significant time, unless you have a high speed broadband connection. Times expected are below -
4 GB at:
5Mbps is 2 hours.
at 1 Mbps is 10 hours.
at 384 kbps is 27 hours.
at 56k kbps is 184 hours (nearly 8 days).
If you include the 10.6.6 combo update of 1.06 GB
add 29 minutes for 5 Mbps
145 minutes (2 and 25 minutes) for 1 Mbps
6 and a half hours for 384kbps
A 24 hour day and 15 hours (for a total of a minimum of 39 hours) for 56kbps
Remember the retail 10.6 currently does not include the App Store, and those upgrading from 10.5.8 or earlier will need to both buy the retail 10.6, and download the combo 10.6.6 update, not to mention ensure they have the correct processor and 2 GB of RAM. Finally once it is available, you'll have find out how long approximately it takes to install after the download is complete.
These times do not include installation time, which on a MacBook Pro 3,1 15" installing on a Firewire 800 Newertech Voyager with WD10ACS-322J80 drive, 10.6.7, took 1 hour and a half to complete the installation from double clicking the install command to the registration screen. These times may vary by connection speeds from a non-dedicated connection, or background application usage of the internet. Any applications running when the installation process begins might interfere with the installation itself, and they should be quit first.
The installer just before it starts has in its package contents an InstallESD.dmg file a DVD burnable image to install on additional computers in the home without downloading over again. So if you desire to reinstall without an extra internet download, extract that file, by selecting the installer in the dock, and control-clicking it, and revealing it in the Finder. Next Control-mouse click it, and select show package contents. Inside that folder is a Shared Support folder. That's where you find the DMG.
Q: If I purchased a Mac recently, can I get it cheaper?
A: Yes, visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ for details.
Q: When will Lion become available?
A: It became available July 20, 2011.
Q: Which Macs can run Lion?
A: Look at Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info, and see if you meet the Machine ID and RAM requires under the hardware. 2 GB is required for all These Machine IDs will run Lion:
Mac Mini 2,1 and later
MacBook 2,1 and later.
iMac 5,1 and later.
All MacBook Air.
MacBook Pro 2,1 and later
All MacPros.
The Macs with the Machine IDs below will not run Lion (x can be any number):
Mac Mini 1,x or PowerMac x,x
MacBook 1,x
MacBook Pro 1,x
iMac 4,x, 3,x, 2,x, 1,x

IMac Intel Core Duo - what software works and what doesn't???

So I decided to start this post/topic to get feedback from everyone who uses their Intel based iMac for all different reasons and all the various sortware that people use. This includes software, games, freeware and such.
Here's my 2 cents:
Adobe CS2 software works fine except for Adobe Version Cue2. In other words, thus far InDesign CS2, Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS2 and ImageReady CS2 seem to work fine. Probably a bit slower than on the G5's but not noticeably different.
Anyone else have feedback on their software that you use daily???

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?

How do I use a Verizon PC Wireless card with my iMAC Intel Core desktop?

Help! Bought a Kyocera KPC650 Wireless PC Card for Verizon wireless internet. Works fine w/ laptop because it has a slot. How do I configure my iMAC desktop to accept this card? Is there an external USB adapter? Or do I have to get one installed internally? Which adapter works with OX 10.4?
I've seen the Quatech U132 online. Will that work? Its $192!! As is the Sewell adapter too. ($209)
Any ideas? I want to get off SBCYahoo DSL and their router because our DSL line is damaged in our complex and no one is fixing it!
Thanks in advance.

What protocol is Verizon using that is not compatible with the Airport Extreme built into your iMac? I have used Apple's Airport Extreme with a lot of different wireless routers with zero problems as all conform to either 802.11b or 802.11g standard both of which are supported by the built in Airport Extreme.

Need a wireless usb adapter that works with my iMac G4 Flatscreen

I have an iMac without an airport card. I am trying to find a thrid party solution. Does anyone know of a third party wireless usb adapter that works with my Mac?

Hi Bill I noticed that list you posted mainly shows devices that require purchasing 3rd party drivers from companies such as ioxperts.
If you use a device that has ralink chipset you can use their drivers free of charge.

Are there ANY firewire interfaces that work with 24" imac 2.16 Core 2 duo?

This is really getting frustrating. I have now tried and failed at getting both an m-audio profire lightbridge and a TC electronic studio konnekt 48 to work on this computer. Both interfaces were tested with Leopard and Tiger, no success.
My computer is NOT the aluminum imac, it's the earlier whiteface version, so it's supposed to have the TI chipset(I've been told that the aluminum imacs don't work because they have a agrere chipset....) The firewire port works fine with an external hard drive, but no one seems to be able to write software drivers that work.
If anyone is successfully running a firewire interface with this model computer please let me know what OS you are running, the interface, and what software you are using.
I'm starting to think that the problem is on apple's end, it shouldn't be this hard for third party manufacturers to write reliable drivers. both m-audio and tc electronic's forums are littered with complaints about bad drivers for the last year or so.
Message was edited by: MNMinstrel

Yildox - I've been doing a little more research... Your imac has a known problem, it's the particular firewire chipset it uses, made by Agere. The older white versions have a Texas instruments chipset, which is supposed to be better, though I haven't had any success with mine so far in the audio interface department.
I really think that the problem is bigger than that though. Everyone having a problem with a firewire audio interface seems to have one similarity, a mac made in the last 2 years running OS 10.4.9 or later.

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.

Ordering new iMac Intel Core Duo

I am about to order the new iMac. I noticed that the wait estimated shipping time increases with certain items. There is a 3-5 day delay for Memory & Graphics Memory. Can I purchase these separately and add them myself? Also, the HD upgrade to the 500 G adds a 3-4 weeks shipping? Can I add these later myself?
What upgrades are doable by the user?
What configuration should I order?
thanks,
GM
Powerbook G4 12 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

(some stuff deleted)
Adding RAM and hard disk space later should be
possible by opening up the system, as it has been
with previous iMac models. You'll save a little over
Apple's prices, as labor is included in their
prices.
surprisingly, not always the case - at least here in Canada (for now).
So far, the only price I've found for the iMac SO-DIMM (certified to work in these Macs) is CDN $174 for 1GB. The options are (for now)...
1- buy 2, 1GB modules for $348+$10 shipping and try to sell the 512MB.
2- Apple BTO to 2GB for $360 ($333 educational for me) OR
3- Apple BTO to 1GB for $120 ($111 educational) and order a second one 1GB from a reputable RAM supplier for $174 for a total of $294/$285.
If I choose to go with this iMac, it looks like Apple's smaller upgrade is a better deal with the remaining 1GB left to a different supplier.
No documentation has been posted yet for the new
iMacs, though, so it's anyone's guess as to how easy
any of these upgrades are with the redesigned
internal layout of the system hardware.

IMac Intel Core Duo Keyboard Stops Working Intermittently

Hello,
About every 10 minutes or so, maybe longer, my iMac's keyboard stops working completely. The list shown below are additional items that I have tried or is a side-effect to the keyboard issue:
The problem occurs on more than one keyboard, therefore, it doesn't seem to be a faulty keyboard issue
The quick solution is to unplug the keyboard from the back of my iMac and plug it in again. Then the keyboard resumes its normal operation. However, on some occasions, the unplug/plugin technique does not work. It that case, I have to do a hard power-down, wait 10 seconds, then turn the iMac on again. Normal keyboard operation is finally returned.
The mouse will turn off, which is indicated by the light inside the mouse turning off
If the mouse does turn off, I unplug it from the keyboard and plug it directly into the back of the iMac. The light inside the mouse comes back on, but the mouse cursor is unresponsive
The iMac Intel Dual Core is about six years old.
Any information is appreciated
Thank you,
Tony

Try doing a SMC reset, if that doesn't work try a PRAM reset. Don't be afraid to do these resets 2-3 times each if they don't work the first time.
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

Drives that work with new DVR

I just signed up for the DVR upgrade. I was looking at the following iomega 2tb esata drive. This should work for expanding the storage right?

I received my new high capacity DVR today. How can you be sure that the esata drive is enabled? (before i go out and get a drive I'd like to be sure I'm going to be able to use it?)
Thank you
You need the latest IMG software which is V1.9 (build 10.95) for Motorola boxes (don't know the number if you got a Cisco box). Go to the menu, settings, and system and the information as to the build will be there. If you don't have the latest build then you will not be able to use an extrnal drive until the update is pushed to you. Depending where you live that may have happened or will happen within the next couple of months (there is nothing you can do to speed up the push of the new code).
BTW If you received a 7232 or Cisco then you already have a 500G drive which is 3 times larger than the 7216 or 6416 (160G drives).
It would help if when people registered they at least put their area location in their profile. It makes some answers a whole lot easier (you'll notice that I have SE PA in mine).

USB Camcorders that work with New FW-less Macbook

I cant resist. I need to get my hands on one of the new silver toys.
But I also need to make videos of my clients.. Right now I have a DV Camcorder going into my old iBook and I record directly with iMovie 06. I don't import the DV tape
Which USB camcorder can give me the same functionality? Is USB fast enough for this?
NB I don't want to record on the camera's HD or Flash Card, but just want to stream the video into the Mac book directly.
NB 2 I do want to be able to use it as a normal camcorder for other projects though so a "normal USB web camera" is not what i am looking for

The only other thing that I can think of is this http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR877LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDExOA&mco=NzYwMjE2#overvi ew
But, like you said, the best way is through firewire.
I have used several usb based camcorders with the new macbook with success, such as Canon HF10, Sony CX7 and Panasonic SD9. I have used both USB connection and SD card adapter and they import into iMovie fine. But the problem is, without firewire, I dont see a good solution for streaming, or capturing into the Mac directly on the fly. I may have to try the Pinnacle product above, but would much rather just have firewire.

Traveling with the 24" iMac Intel Core duo

I'm going to a convention for week and have promised to report in on my experiences. All I have is this iMac and the hotel does not offer computer rentals in their "business center" although they have free wifi. I'm thinking that I'll take the iMac with me. I'm driving and I still have the original box (which is about the size of a small suitcase). What do you think? What are the pitfalls?

The box is fairly visible as to what is inside it.
Better is an http://www.ilugger.com/ case.
The only time I'd use the box is if I was bringing it in for service, as it makes it easier for them to ship it. One word of caution, there have been cases where people have been attacked at malls for carrying computers. Keep your eyes peeled for any strange people following you.
Also the luggage likely won't fit under your seat or overhead, and it risks getting lost as lost luggage in flight. So backup your data*:

WD Scorpio WD3200BEKT compatible with MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo)?

I'm looking at upgrading, and I was wondering if any one else here has used this drive. Thanks.
...Rene

I'm using the 5400 speed version of this HD (BEVT) and it's **** fine in my MBP.
I can do without the 7200 speed, and I guess I get a bit more battery life, which is more important to me.
Best thing is 320 Gig on the road all in one box.
Hope this is of some use.
