Will a macbook pro 17" with an Intel Core Duo processor run osx lion?

Sorry, no. Lion requires a Core 2 Duo.

  • I have a MacBook Pro that has an Intel Core Duo Processor but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8 but want to upgrade to Lion. My Mac that has an Intel Core Duo Processor (I know really outdated huh) but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade or will it mess it up?

    It actually shouldn't allow you to upgrade. Your configuration should be detected and then it should reject your attempt to upgrade.

  • My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion.  I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?

    You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo"  My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

  • Buying the Macbook pro 2.0 Ghz intel core duo

    Hi!
    Im in the process of buying a portable mac and I have set my eyes on the above mentioned computer (due to a very attractive offer BTW). Allthough my trusty iMac DV (from 2000!) still works perfectly, the need of a portable has emerged.
    So the question is: pros and cons? Fan issues? (I rember that beeing an issue on som of the recent powerbook models)Other "known" problems?
    What about the Macbook as an option?
    Best regards and thank you for any and all input,

    Mine works fine. Very fast, nice display, loads of great extras like the luminous keyboard and iSight camera, and not too bulky to carry round. To be aware of: Macbook Pros cannot run OS9 software. Macbook Pros run software designed for PowerPC processors only more slowly than previous G4 computers, however universal binaries run much, much faster. Macbook Pros have been known to have certain issues including a processor whine and "mooing" fans. The whine is normal and is the sound made by processor throttling to save power. The whine can be removed but this reduces battery life. Newer Macbook Pros tend not to suffer from mooing fans, it was more a feature of early models, however it still pays to be aware of it. Macbook Pros run very hot due to the Core Duo processor, but this is completely normal and there is no risk of this damaging the computer.
    As for the Macbook, this suffers from the same problems mentioned with the Macbook pro. The main difference between the two is the lack of a dedicated graphics card in the macbook. So, if you play a lot of games or do a lot of 3D or graphical design work, go with the Pro. Otherwise, buy a macbook, its much easier on the wallet and features the same processor.

  • Will FCP X work on an iMac with an Intel Core Duo processor?

    FCP X requirements are for a 64bit processor.
    The Intel Core Duo is 32bit, so does that mean FCP X will not work at all on it?
    Or will it work but with reduced performance capabilities?

    I checked it on the oldest IMac I have. Seems to work so far .....

  • Will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?, will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?

    I have a macbook pro, purchased late 2006... I can scroll with 2 fingers so I'm wondering if it will support the multi touch gestures before I purchase OS X Lion?
    Thanks!

    Probably Not. Im sorry.
    The new macs have a different kind of trackpad that is more sensitive to touch.  And Apple doesn't make new stuff for old macs because most people have a new mac and because the old hardware is not fast enough to run it. Im sorry.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with 2010 Macbook Pro 13'' 2.4GHZ Intel Core Duo 4GB RAM

    Hi everyone, i use a 13'' macbook pro for work, and it has been flickering from time to time (a lot), everytime i go to the dock, especially when im using Pages 09. I recorded a video of it on youtube. Can you please help me to see if this is normal, or should i talk here at work for them to get it fixed or exchanged. Thanks
    Here is the link:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=jzhogjq3e4U&eurl=http% 3A%2F%2F
    Also, from time to time, the macbook pro freezes, and it just sits there, i cant use the trackpad, keys, nothing... it doesnt even respond to closing and opening the lid, i always have to hard-restart/reset it.
    It has already happened like 4 or 5 times since i got it (about 3 months).
    Just wanted to add that up.

    Talk to whom ever you need to to get it fixed.

  • MacBook Pro 15 2.8ghz Intel Core Duo 2 and Sony Bravia KDL-46NX800

    Hello,
    I now have a Monoprice HDMI to Mini Displayport. I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro 15 to my new recently bought Sony Bravia 46'. I also have SwitchResX on my mbp.
    Anyway, it's not working at all. The Sony is not detecting my MBP.
    I fiddle with SwitchResX and nothing works. I look everywhere for my TV's specific EDID profiles. No luck.
    Anyone out there care to help me out, please.

    The other way around is the same. I tried "detect display", nothing happens. Nothing showing another display at all.
    If it was a defective cable then I would NOT get a replacement because I just don't want the hassle of working on it and the problem will be the same.
    Most likely to mail it back to get cash back.
    Umm, to add, I am running 10.6.4 and have NOT yet upgrade it to 10.6.5. I still don't think that'll solve the problem.
    Any ideas?

  • Acrobat XI Pro performance with new Intel Core M processor

    EDIT 21-Feb-2015: the issue seems to be with the power limitation of the new Intel Core M Broadwell processor. Enabling it in "full performance" mode significantly increases the performance. Nonetheless, in whichever power mode the computer is set, Microsoft Reader has no issue with any of the operations listed below.
    Hi,
    I'm running Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 8.1 64-bit with high-res display (3200x1800, Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro), which uses the new Intel Core M Broadwell processor.
    Zooming in and out and panning on the main application is very laggy, and full screen is EXTREMELY laggy. Also very noticeable delays in scrolling and page to page.
    The computer is brand new, out of the box, no viruses or other software dragging the system down. Also, if I open the same files on the Microsoft Reader app, there is no lag at all in doing these operations.
    I have found on the forum that some people have had lag and disabled Protected View and Enhanced Security. However, Protected View is not enabled on my installation, and disabling Enhanced Security has no effect.
    Right now I would say that the zoom/pan performance is worse even than on Reader on a 5 year old Windows XP machine I tried to compare to.
    Is there some other settings in Acrobat XI that could cause this issue?
    Thanks!
    P.S. I couldn't find a more appropriate group other than "Acrobat Installation & Update Issues" as I didn't find a troubleshooting group or anything like that, but can re-categorize.

  • I have iPhone 4S 16GB using v. 6.1.3 & Macbook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo OS 10.6.8

    Today I added a new entry in my Address Book on Macbook and also edited an entry on my iPhone Contacts.  I have tried syncing several times and neither is updating on the other device.  Makes me wonder how many other entries are not synced.  Any ideas?

    Sorry, I did not make myself clear.  I am asking for help with the problem of unsuccessful syncing.  In the past (after I finished syncing) the Contacts on my iPhone were identical to the entries in Address Book on my Macbook.  Yesterday I discovered some entries that did not succdessfully sync.  I am asking for help with this problem.

  • I have a macbook pro 4GB Ram, 2GHz Intel Core 7 processor and all the time since few months ago is like running for 2 sec. and stuck for another 2 sec.

    I already tried to fix it by opening just a few windows but is not that. And is killing me because anything I want to do is just like the machine responds now, now not, now yes, now not. Sometimes is ok, just like now but really isn't much time. I can't even watch a movie on itunes, not even in youtube, it lasts up to 3-4 minutes to load.

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 3.1 2.4ghz core duo 2gb ram

    Hi i am currently running ios10.8.5 mountain lion perfectly fine with no issues at all some people said i would not be able to run ml on this macbookpro without upgrading the ram etc just wandered if it runs mountain lion ok will it run mavericks ok.

    You can run OS X Mountain Lion with 2 GB of RAM, but you cannot be sure that it will work correctly.
    "MacBookPro3,1" belongs to the Late 2007 MacBook Pro, so it is compatible with OS X Mountain Lion. However, you say your MacBook Pro has got an Intel Core Duo processor, when it should have got an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. You can check which processor you have in  > About this Mac.
    I recommend you to upgrade RAM. You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial.
    The latest OS X version is Mavericks and it is free, so you may want to install it instead of OS X Mountain Lion. You can download it from the Mac App Store. If you want OS X Mountain Lion, you can buy it in the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

  • 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.

  • Does itunes work with  the new intel core duo processor?

    i want to go buy a new laptop and the one I have in mind has the new intel core duo T2300 or the T2400 processor. Can i still download itunes onto this computer? Does it meet the requirments becuase the download page says you need a pentium or BETTER? The new macs are putting them in their computers, but will the windows and intel duo be able to support the itunes application?

    are you asking if it is compatible meaning will it
    install/run or are you asking if flash is
    optimized to take advantage of this particular setup?
