PowerMac G5 replaced by Intel Duo?

Does anyone (besides Apple) have any idea when the world might see them finish out their transition to the Intel Duo with a replacement to the dual/quad G5 desktop machines?

Hi Dennis;
Steve said the migration would be over by the end of the year. So I would say wait until then.

How to install the lion if had an intel duo, it will be work? (black macbook only)

hello there
i need any help, i just want to know how to do with black macbook. so, i bought someone who owner with this black macbook from online. i received the macbook from the delivered and my boyfriend sets the upgrade for the lion osx for this black laptop. it says, this laptop had an intel duo. what i do to install the lion osx for intel duo other way? if cant, should i will replace the intel duo 2 for the lion osx? or should i go to see the apple store?

Using Adobe CS2 with mc book pro intel duo core 2,16 .17"

As a designer working on high definition heavy graphic files intended for digital printing, i am about to go for mc book pro 2,16 duo core and 2gb ram.
I need to use CS2 (photoshop, illustrator) and know that it is not a native soft version, so not otimized for this processor. Any how, I just cannot wait CS3 (Adobe says 2007 whenever they are ready !), so I need advise of professional users of such applications on this mc book pro intel duo core 2,16 17".
I heard pretty scary rumours about such a professional use.
PLEASE HELP BEFORE I GO FOR PC/WIN !!!

CS runs beautifully, with really no lag at all. Keep in mind that I haven't gotten to upgrading from 1 GB RAM to 2 yet, since my tablet died and I needed to replace that. I just installed CS2 last week, and there is a lag, and we'll soon see if more memory helps. Everything works fine, no crashes, etc., but there is in my opinion a noticeable difference in loading time, and various other tasks within the apps take longer. Again, CS2 works just fine, but the performance of CS is much better.

Problems with Windows Media Player for OSX and IMAC G5 Intel Duo

I was able to download Windows Media Player 9 for Mac but when I surf on the net and I click on the WMP files, instead of opening automatically, it downloads the content and only then lets me open it.
Also, with live streaming, when I click for the window to open it will say that: "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?".
Except that I already downladed WMP... It worked fine with the PowerPc G5 so it must be the Intel chip. Please help.

Microsoft has abandoned WMP for the Mac and has ceased development. You may wish to consider and alternative!
WMP 9 for Mac is not a Universal binary, so it does not run natively on Intel iMacs. It runs using Rosetta. If the WMP plugin is installed in HD/Library/Internet Plugins/ for it to run usable by Safari you must be using Safari with Rosetta.
I have two versions of Safari, Safari - Uni & Safari - Rose, Uni runs natively and Rose uses Rosetta. To make a Rose version;
1. Right-click Safari and choose Duplicate
2. Rename the copy whatever you like to tell it from the other; ex: Safari - Rose
3. Right-click Safari - Rose and choose Get Info
4. In the top pane of the Info window check the box Run using Rosetta.
You need to use Safari -Rose for websites with WMP multimedia material to get it to play in the browser.
There are also WMP replacements that you can use with Safari such as Flip4Mac and others. Here is a Discussion that covers many of the alternatives;

Crashing Imac intel duo 2.0. with deep buzzer sound

I've been working on a imac intel duo 2.0 gig (4 gigs ram, 250 hd) and It's been driving me crazy as it crashes between 2 and 5 times a day. I'm doing constant photo shooting and processing from capture pro to photoshop, but the files are all pretty small- like 8-12 megs each, and I have to say that I've used these programs for years and found them to be extremely stable. There is still like more than half of the hard drive available for files, and I try to keep it that way by pulling old files off it to an external drive.
Often the machine will crash while in a finder type function often early in the day, before I've even opened any photo files or apps. Usually it just freezes. Rarely it will have a screen black out, and when that happens, I hear the deep buzzing sound that must signify something- I don't know what.
I've tried running the apple disc utility, and repairing the permissiions from there, but it hasn't really helped. I've disconnected and reconnected the camera, the external hard drive, my Wacom tablet, nothing really helps. Now that I think of it, I haven't replaced the mouse- could that possibly be the cause?
Oh well, any wisdom on this topic would be appreciated, especially what is that loud buzzer trying to tell me.
Thanks-TD

You are right it's not an available space issue so now I'm beginning to agree with Allan. If you don't know how to run AHT, please click the Hardware Test link. Run it in Extended Mode too, not using Extended Model does not test very thoroughly. If it reports back with no errors run AHT 2-3x in Extended Mode to be sure. This test is time consuming so start it and come back in about 40 - 60 minutes. If it reports errors then you can either Google them or post them here and someone will try to interpret them. However whatever the error is you should write it down and bring the machine in for service at your local Apple Store or AASP.

I have two Macs--a flat-screen iMac that uses i-tunes 9 (its max) and a MacBook Intel duo that uses i-tunes 10 (its max). Both are on sharing. I am trying to put the Library from the flat screen i tunes music onto the MacBook. I have carefully followeBook

I have two Macs, an i-Mac flat screen that runs on OSX.4.11 and i-tunes 9 and a MacBook Intel Duo that runs on Snow Leopard and i-tunes 10. I have carefully followed all the Advanced instructions for sharing music libraries, which is not a problem; however I am unable to transfer following the instructions to drag the music I want from t he i-Mac flat screen library onto the MacBook. Help! Please! Also, my new Nano will not accept i-tunes 9 which is where I have my old i-pod contents stored--the old i-pod died. Many thanks!

UPDATE: I disconnected the iPhone, restarted it, and tried again to sync it with the iTunes library on the iMac. This time it worked
Now I'm going to try to transfer the music into the iTunes library on the PowerBook, then sync with that, delete the library on the iMac, and sync the (hopefully full of all my music) iPhone with the iMac again.

Wireless Connection on the PC side of the Intel Duo

I have a new IMAC 20 Intel Duo. I set up a secure wireless connection (WAP) through the Linksys WRT54G thats works fine when running MAC OS10. When I switch to the XP side I cannot connect to my secure network. In the available networks it recognizes all other nearby networks but my secure one. I am able to connect through an unsecured network ., but the signal strenth is minimal. Any suggestions?

Did you create a closed network on your router? If it is closed, computers can't see the wireless network and you have to connect by putting in the exact network name and password in the connect dialog.

Final cut pro hd 4.5 doesn't work on my intel duo machine

My final cut pro hd is about three years old. When I got a new mac pro, I ported everything including applications over.
Not having used fcprohd for the last year, now, when I open the app in the intel machine, I get an error message asking for a later operating system, and an error message related to the video card. It works on my old power pc g4. Can I open and use final cut pro hd 4.5 on my intel duo processor machine, or do I need an upgrade? Is there an upgrade path to the newest version of fcpro which takes advantage of the duo intels?

hey there bradsea,
your version of FCP is not a Universal Binary. you'll need to upgrade to FCS2. there is an upgrade available if your version is not Academic. see this link:

good luck.

Using iMac Intel Duo/Tiger to burn bootable ISO images for another OS?

Solaris 10 on Intel Duo Macintoshes

I have an idea to attempt an install of Solaris 10 to an Intel duo based Mac. Not entirely sure of which way to start, clearly buying a Mac is an early stage... My thinking is that the BootCamp HAL must offer some x86 base to appear x86 ish when Windows is installed.
So, would anybody like to turn me off of this idea right now.
Or is this really going to be a lot of fun?

Thankyou posters.
Though I never chose to have this idea, it may be allowed some of my scarce neurosoft free ram.
I will begin researching this quite gently.
Xmas should be here soon, and I will keep you informed.

Is there a virtual pc or Windows emulator for iMac intel duo?

Hi there,
I just got a new iMac intel duo last week and its fantastic. Unfornatuly I need to run a stock market program that only runs on windows...
This is the only program that i need to run on the windows platform.
I was told to get the intel duo as it was the way things were going and that I may have to wait for the software side of things to catch up.
I currently have a workaround that is painfull, but I would like to have it all on the one machine...
Is there a virtual pc version for the iMac intel duo or are there other emulators I could use??
Desparate..

Hotmail/intel duo core

Has anyone successfully downloaded the plugin for hotmail in mail on the new intel duo core and managed to get it to work?
v grateful for any advice on how to do this. i have installed the plugin but it doesn't seem to be recognised in the options for account set up.
thanks
iMAC intel duo core 17" Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I don't believe the httpmail plugin is Universal yet which means it runs/works for the Mail.app on a PowerPC Mac at the present time only.
An Intel Mac includes Rosetta which is a translation process that runs a PowerPC binary on an Intel-based Macintosh computer—it allows applications to run as nonnative binaries.
For the Intel based Mail.app (which should be Universal), try selecting run as a PowerPC binary (which requires Rosetta) using Get Info for the Mail.app application via the Finder.
This should allow the httpmail plugin to work.

Need advice Imac G5 Intel Duo 2 Core 2ghz will not power up DEAD

Hi all. Hoping for some friendly advice. I have an Imac G" Intel Duo 2 Core about a year old or so. My adult son was using it. Never a single issue and a very mild user. He reformatted it the other night and turned it over to me because he got a new one. I'm thrilled since I'm still using my G4 733 I've been faithfully keeping in operation since April 2001 with almost no issues. The only thing I have done is allow it to auto update everything the night before last. It's set to sleep the screen after an hour and the whole thing about 2 hours. Been working fine and just touch the keyboard and back to life.
Well this afternoon went back to take some more tutorials and it's just dead. As if it had gone to sleep but no amount of button pressing helped. Unplugged everything on USB, firewire. Using apple bluetooth KB and mouse that came with it. Both had new batteries as of other night. Left power cable loose for 10-15 minutes and no help. Held the single power button for long periods, tried holding it while plugging in to wall, tried other wall outlets. Wiggled chord to see if flakey... read articles on resetting some macs but nothing helped so far.
Thanks
LB

Well update I did finally get it to come on after a couple hours of coming back and fiddling. In efforts to fix it I looked up the number on the stand and it looks to be made mid 2007 which means likely no warranty.
I popped out the memory under the little bottom edge cover and dusted off some of the woolies. Didn't help but I blew into the round fan vent on the rear and a good bit of dust even came out the top edge vent. Looks like my son gathered some dust in this thing.
Still thought it would not come on but pressed again and suddenly it's ON and working but the cooling fan seems to be stuck on fast mode. I can't see any way this thing is having heat problems in my office which is a little warm but not hot.
So likely will take into service to clean and dust it out etc and maybe this fan will begin running right. This iMac has never given one ounce of trouble either. I'm posting this using the iMac
Any additional advice appreciated,

Upgrade to OS 10.4 with SW coming from new Mac Mini (Intel duo core)

Is it possible to upgrade my G4 PowerBook to the latest OS 10.4 and iLife06 with the SW provided and installed on new Mac Mini's with the Intel duo core? That would make purchasing a new Mac Mini a sweeter deal.

No.
The disks that come with new machines are specific to that machine.
You will need Tiger and iLife '06 if you want to upgrade your PowerBook.

Does sata 1 3 or 6 matter when upgrading HDD on macbook pro 2.26 intel duo in the 13"?

Need new HDD for macbook pro 13" 2.26 Intel duo and would like to get 500 gb 7200. Can i put in a sata 3 or 6 or does it have to be sata 1?

I thought if I was only going to use 1 module, I should put it in the bottom slot.
It doesn't matter which slot you put it in. If you put it in the bottom slot, you won't have to remove it first if you decide to add a second one later. But why on earth would you choose not to use both slots now, when you have modules to put in both? 5GB of RAM is better than 4GB.
