Software Update will not update 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB RAM from 10.6.8 to 10.7

Current mac mini (Late 2009), 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM does not detect an update from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Mac OS X 10.7 or Mac OS X 10.8 during run of Software Update.

It’s not supposed to. Download codes for Lion and Mountain Lion can be purchased from the online Apple Store, while Mavericks is available for free from the Mac App Store; you don’t need to go through 10.7 or 10.8 when upgrading.

  • Will the Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook work with the Thunderbolt Display?

    I'm looking into buying a new Thunderbolt Display, but do I need to buy a new MacBook Pro or will the Thunderbolt Display work with my Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook?

    Yes. You'll need to create a Mavericks USB installer from the App Store download, and the App Store is only available with 10.6 and above, so that's a challenge for you to overcome, but that SSD will install just fine.

  • Can my macbook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo take 4gb RAM?

    Hi All,
    I'm sure this has been asked before, although I couldn't find a definitive answer in the forum....
    Is it possible I could put 2x2gig ram into mt macbook? I currently have 1x2gig and 1x1gig installed.
    I purchased my MBP Jan 07
    Cheers.

    Hey MagicDave,
    Long time, long time
    I have been researching this topic as well and it can be hard to work it out. It seems to depend on which variant of the Core 2 Duo chip which you have and the model of MBP (see here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1586222&tstart=0 ). I wouldn't necessarily believe the crucial site which could be based upon the published apple specs....... ?

  • Help with InDesign and using MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB

    Have a Mac Book Pro running 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM is there anyway to use InDesign and if so what version would run on this machine and would I still be able to interface with a printer to produce a magazine?  Or is it possible to upgrade/gut this machine for a new processor and RAM, if that is even possible, and could I then run a CS program say 5.5?

    Thanks for all the help - it is confusing though. I tried to download the trial version of CS5.5 to explore before buying the student version and the program download froze. I have deleted the doadload assistant and spoke with Adobe who told me my machine would not be compatible unless I upgraded - maybe the RAM to 4GB.
    You got bad (wrong) advice.
    If the download didn't work, it has nothing to do with the performance characteristics of your machine. You could download CS5.5 on a low-end PC from 10 years ago, it doesn't take much.
    Unfortunately Adobe's download manager is a bit flakey. Best advice is to use Firefox and try the download again.
    It doesn't have anything to do with the power of your computer, be it speed, processor type, or RAM.
    Make sure you're using FIrefox (if not, download and install it first), and then try the download again.
    Also, the download manager depends on Java. Make sure you have Java installed (but I think you must, because otherwise the download would not have started?).
    If it still doesn't work, give us some more detail. Error message? Screenshot?

  • Replacing/Upgrading the 15" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro HDD?

    I was wondering if it is possible to replace the 15" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro HDD from a 5400 RPM to a 7200 RPM. I plan on recording using Logic Pro so I will most likely need a faster hard drive. If so, what are some good, compatible hard drives to look into.

    with a simple search you can, but you can void your

    work involved. Spare the grief and get an external

    It is very tiring to see you respond to everyone who asks this question with "get an external drive". I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who want more storage WITHOUT having to tote extra gear around.
    Yes external drives are useful, but they don't answer the question asked.

    I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).  It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates.  I am running Mac OS 10.6.8.  I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001".  I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word.  When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else.  I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph.  As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
    Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond.  I have to force quit.  After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
    Any similar problems?

    Howdy,
    Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
    I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
    Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
    Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
    - Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
    Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

  • I have an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo computer and have to update my system software from Leopard V 10.5.8 to OX Snow Leopard V 10.6. Where do I find it?

    I have an iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo computer and have to update my system software from Leopard V 10.5.8 to OX Snow Leopard V 10.6. Where do I find it?

  • HT1338 Can I update my Mini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo /4 GB 667 MHz DDR2?

    My Mini -- 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo /4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 —is "mid 2007". 
    What happens if I try to install Mtn Lion?
    Because there is a lot of buggy stuff about 10.7.x.  For instance,
    Wifi does not maintain a steady connection when using a non-airport wireless router (maddening when it goes "looking for Networks" when there is a steady signal coming from the modem.  This is consistently a buzz-kill when streaming virtually any video, and consistently happens w/ netfix.
    No, it's not the wifi router.  Non-Apple equip has rock steady wifi signal and smooth, HD streaming.
    Hardwired w/ Cat5, streaming video is no problem--and yes, I have trashed and reloaded Airport Utility, which definitely appears to be the culprit.
    Itunes does all kinds of wonky things w/ smart playlists, etc/. etc. 
    Bluetooth has a mind of it's own--forgetting it's already paired to an Apple keyboard and trackpad when I power up another Mac within 20 feet.
    DVD Player is so eratic I have given up and gone to VLC altogether--not quite as elegant an interface, but at least it's consistent AND alows me to jump over the junk promos studios insist I can't skip when played on DVD Player
    In short —All the usual loose ends the software update never gets around to addressing, but that typically an upgrade will fix.
    Theoretically, Mtn. Lion will only work on 2009 and later Mini's, but aside from buggy OS, (and, uh, eratic breaks in wifi signal) this mini works fine as a media center.
    So what happens if I try to upgrade?
    Is there perhaps a firmware update or a work around?
    Yes, I am aware the unit is 5 years old, but I am strongly opposed to being strong-armed into buying new equip because of Apple's ever increasing tendency to eliminate legacy compatibillity.  Sure it's good for Apple, but terrible for both the environment and people like me on a fixed income in this economy.  Why toss a perfectly functional unit just to make the richest corporation in the world (or 2nd, whatever) richer?
    Thanks

    Many thanks for your prompt reponse.  I expected as much, but thought the question worth asking. 
    Must admit it escapes why Mtn Lion should not be more broadly accessible, except for the blatant greed factor, which is growing increasingly tiresome. 
    I bought my 1st PowerBook in the late 80's for close to $3,000 and was a loyal evangelist for decades—both purchasing and recommending many, many Macs, until I started to buy a new MacBook Pro last year and encountered all that thunderbolt/HDMI baloney.  Then I started taking a harder look at whether Apple was genuinely attemtping to meet loyal user's needs, or simply exploiting the strength of the brand by non-legacy compatibility to drive increased sales.
    Looking around a tad after I posted, the erratic wifi problem appears to be endemic--not just minis and not just 10.7.
    I've gone through all the fixes, but Lion stubbornly persists in giving the flakest wif around--which is my main reason for wanting to try Mtn. Lion.  The rest of the new, uh, "features" definitely strike me as onanistic tweaking added gimmicks in the OS for tweaker's sake--no significant gain in usability.
    Remember when stability was the Apple OS's chief virtue?  Ah, those were the days!
    Now I am waiting for the Kool-Aid quaffers to start wising up before I can begin shorting the grossly over-valued stock.  The iPhone is losing ground fast.  Arrogant development and marketing strategies the likes of which driving Apple these days never last forever.  Remember as well when Microsoft caused fear and trembling with it's heedless hegemony?  Or how about IBM?  Or AOL?  Technology has a way of dealing with hubris.
    Best wishes for all, &c.

  • I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5

    Hello
    I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5
    Is my hardware not good for this new OS ?
    Can I upgrade my computer to Mountain Lion OS  and make it faster ?

    Mountain Lion won't make it faster. It may not even be compatible.  Speed has a lot to do with what is installed, installation of utilities that actually slow you down, such as MacKeeper, or any cache cleaning softawre.  Installation of utilities that you don't need such as anti-virus or firewall software.  Peer2peer software.  Other devices sharing the same network can slow it down too, make sure your network is secure, and you know what is sharing the network.  Some websites may be slower on Safari, and an alternative browser* is needed.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and then, you should be able to use OS X Lion.
    First, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup of your data, insert the Snow Leopard disc and upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    The disc will install Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update to install 10.6.8, the most recent Snow Leopard version.
    See if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If you see that it's compatible, call Apple to buy OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Also, check if your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Hello friends!I use mac book(2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo).is it worth updating to snow leopard and then lion?if so how to do so?

    Hello  I use mac book 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo.Is it worth updating to latest version like snow leopard and then Lion or buying new mac air?
    regards
    Clayton.

    Well, it depends on what you expect it to do and if it works as expected - it that answer is yes, I'd say make sure you max out the RAM (I've noticed Snow Leopard needs more). Doing it this way gives you a machine which will run 2 different OS versions - on the other hand, depending on when you'd buy the MBA, you may only be able to run Lion (unless you buy that quickly as well while they still come with SL).

  • HT1338 i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6

    i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6 pls help me

    ok but i have mac os x.
    I'll explain the numbering system for you.
    With the operating systems numbering format it works as this: for example with 10.5.8, the first number is redundant because they are all 10 since 2001. This is the X in OS X
    The second number is the upgrade version, which have cat names attached to them. 10.5 is Leopard. Each of these upgrade names must be purchased.  If you want 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you need to buy it,
    The last number is the update version, which is free, but requires the upgrade before you can install it.
    So, you currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and you ask how to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I have given you the link of how buy it.
    so do i must change mac os x (10.5) to snow-leopard.
    The choice is yours. You do not have to upgrade if you do not wish to.

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
