Anyone have the iMac Core Duo Ship Yet?
Hi Everyone.
Well, I'm as excited as most everyone about the iMac Core Duo.
Just curious, if there are any shipping reports yet? Any of you had yours ship yet? I hope it starts soon!
Mine in the UK is stating an estimated shipping date of Feb 8th, but then it is fully loaded except modem & iWorks.

Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?
I have a core duo 2GHz iMac intel. Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?
Do you mean will your iMac work with a router that supports dual band? If this is correct, the answer is yes. If that isn't what you intended please look at the system specification for your machine. You can find that by clicking Support - Tech Specs

Does anyone know why I can't update to Lion? I have the MBP with INtel core duo and OS 10.6.8, but when I try to launch the app to upgrade to Lion, it tells me that I need the CORE 2 DUO to upgrade....????? Uhhh, I have this AND I have TONS of memory.
Never mind, I see that I need a new computer, even though this one is great. Sheeeesh.

Is it better to buy the Intel Core Duo iMac no. 1?
Here the iMacs Core Duo 1,83Ghz and Core 2 Duo 1.83 Ghz are the same price. Difference is, the Core Duo has an ATI X1600 card while the Core 2 Duo has that crappy Intel 950 integrated graphics chip. So which would be better for me to buy?
Thank you all so much.
iMac DV SE 400Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.8)Thanks for the answer!
From my experience Macs do not need 256 MB video cards, am I right? Like, ther ATI X1600 comes in 256, 512MB for PC versions... And when my Imac with its 8MB of video memory was able to play games, I always noticed that the same game on the PC required 32 or 64 MB of dedicated video.
I know the Intel is better than the others... But since I read that all the options in World of Warcraft were greyed out using this card, it annoyed me... After all it's kind of an old game, since it runs on a G4 with 1 GHz.
Anyway I've made up my mind and decided for the first model, actually it's 500 USD cheaper and that helped me a lot in choosing it -
Printer recommendations for iMAc Core Duo
Greetings! I need a recommendation from anyone who is successfully using a multi function printer with an iMac Core Duo. I am returning an EPSON CX5800f because the scanning driver does not work. The printer works great but the scanner does not. Any success stories? Thanks Billy D
Hello, again! I am back. I returned the EPSON today and I am looking at an HP OfficeJet 7310 for printing, faxing, and scannng on my iMac Core Duo running OS 10.4.6. Any one with good or bad experiences with the 7310? I received an email back from HP saying that the 7310 would work with Intel Macs but I see no such indication on their web site driver download page. Plus HP has not said that the scanning driver for the 7310 would work with the iMac Core Duo. Any comments? Thanks!

Hard drive speed for an imac core duo 2006
I have an imac core duo 17in from 2006, 1.83 ghz. The hd is about to die. Did a routine verify disk, well tried and their was a message that the disk was infected and such and that it needed to be replaced.
The hd is 7200rpm. Would a 5400rpm hd harm the computer? Would any SATA desktop hd work for this?Hello;
What, exactly, was the message you received about the disk. I have never heard of any message like the one you describe.

I have installed Lion on an iMac Core duo by mistake - how do I rectify..?
I have installed Lion on an iMac Core Duo, via firewire from an iMac i7.
The Core Duo now goes to grey screen, folder with "?", then the "prohibited" sign for a 30 secs and then turns off,
(I now realise Lion is 64bit and the core duo only supports 32bit...).
The core duo will chime but will not boot off the original install disk or mount as a fire wire target disk.
How do I wipe Lion and reinstall Leopard...?Sounds like hardware error.
Maybe the target-mode did something bad to the EFI, like fed it 210 proof "Everclear" ...
Try a diferent USB keyboard ...
Last resort for me before Genius Bar is either SMC Reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) and/or PRAM reset (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html).
I am out of ideas if the resets cannot bring back "C" boot. -

Please help me.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

External Hard Drive and iMac Core Duo
I purchased a new iMac Core Duo and also have a iMac G4.
I transferred my data from the old computer to the Core Duo with no problems. I have a Maxtor One Touch II external hard drive on the old mac. Everything transferred well including the external hard drive.... everything worked well until yesterday. Something happened, I don't know what. The Core Duo no longer recognizes my external drive, and I can't reload it. I tried to migrate all of my files from the old mac to the new, But that doesn't work anymore either. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have an awful lot of data that I really would like to have again on the new Core Duo.I think my new iMac just fried my external Lacie d2. I kept my iphoto library on the d2 and was working in iphoto and suddenly photos started disappearing. When I rebooted, the drive was fried. Disk Utility couldn't repair it.

I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone without upgrading software.
Hello hbell,
is there any reason that you do not want
to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
your iPhone.
Good Luck,

I'm still on 10.4.11... Anyone have the most "proficient" steps to get to LION???
I'm trying to make the jump to Lion, yet want to make it with the fewest steps possible. Any advice on what OSs must me installed in order to make the transition?
Thank you!As Ancient_One has stated, the flash drive on the Apple Store is the best choice, but you need to keep in mind that any machine that shipped with Tiger is going to be pretty much rock bottom on the system requirements list, if it even meets the requirements at all. Lion requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM (and I've recently decided to upgrade my 4 GB, which was fine in SL, to 8 GB in Lion) and a minimum of an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (the Intel Core Duo is not adequate).
It's also extremely likely that at least some of the software you're using will be incompatible. Do not upgrade until you have checked compatibility of all your software. Remember things like printer and scanner drivers! -
Can't videochat with iMac Core Duo, can with PowerBook G4
Hi everyone. My girlfriend and I live in different time zones, so we've been using iChat (me) and AIM 5.9 (her) for the last year to videochat. My PowerBook's screen died recently, so I bought an iMac Core Duo, and all of a sudden, we can't connect anymore. Here's my setup:
20" iMac Core Duo:
Mac OS X 10.4.5, iChat AV 3.1.4
Connects using wireless
No firewall
17" PowerBook G4 1GHz:
Mac OS X 10.4.5, iChat AV (whichever version comes with 10.4.5 for PPC)
Connects using wireless
No firewall
AirPort Express:
Firmware 6.3 (tested with 6.1.1 as well)
NAT, no port forwarding
Whenever I attempt to videochat with my girlfriend using the iMac, I get an error stating "Prachi Gauriar[me] did not respond." I browsed the discussion boards here and found the testing screen names (thanks Ralph!).
With the iMac, I can connect to Mac users, including appleu3test01, appleu3test02, and friends of mine. I cannot connect to RjinWI PC via AirPort Express (same error as above). It does work when I connect my machine directly to my cable modem.
With the PowerBook, I can connect to both Mac users and RjinWI PC via AirPort Express.
Bottom line: Using the exact same setup on my PowerBook and iMac, the PowerBook works and the iMac doesn't. I suspect this has to do with the new AirPort Extreme cards that are being used in the iMacs, but I'm not sure.
Has anyone worked around this? I'm kind of avoiding setting up port forwarding on the AirPort Express, as it's troublesome and doesn't really seem to be the problem. I'm willing to do it, but I guess I just don't expect it to work, so I'm hoping someone else has another suggestion.
20" iMac Core Duo (Early 2006) Mac OS X (10.4.5)Hi Rj,
It seems many people are forgetting the tweaks they made to get ichat 3 to work on Tiger on Non intels when they switch.
I would check System preferences > Quicktime and set the Streaming speed to match their download.
Next I would be concerned about iChat Add-ons that are written for PCC (non Intel) code and set iChat to Open With Rosetta in the File menu and re-start iChat
iChatUSBCam is not ready yet.
iGlasses is.
Showmacster seems it is not.
Lastly I would ask how the ports are opened for iChat in the Modem (or Router) IF Port Forwarding are they pointing to the old Mac ?
