Many thanks!

I think we're all awaiting an update to resolve this issue. Mine does the same thing, i think you'll find other similar posts in both the imac and leopard forums.
My temporary fix attempt is going to be using an old wireless ethernet bridge connected to the ethernet port of my imac.
For what its worth you can keep attempting to connect via the airport, and it may eventually connect, mine does, but once you wake from sleep you'll likely have the same issue.
Not what you were hoping to hear i'm sure.
Hopefully an update soon?

Using iMac6,1 Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac mini for Mavericks?

Hello,
I am using iMac6,1 (white) Intel Core 2 Duo which works perfectlly fine and I hope to keep using this machine as long as I can.
I've learned, however, that OS Mavericks does not run on my iMac6,1 and Apple will no longer support it.
I am very attached to this machine and am not ready to face a new iMac display with a bold black frame...I just don't find it very attractive.
So I came up with an idea to buy a Mac mini and use my white iMac as a display.
Does this idea work?
I know nothing about computer so please laugh if I am being silly.
Now here's the specs of my beautiful white iMac if it helps;

I recall having added memory and replaced a graphic board at a local Apple Store five years ago but I am not sure if it's shown here.
Thank you everyone always for this awesome communities.

Can I Install osx 10.6 if yes How?. I tried using my New imac's Install DVD 10.6.2, it say this version of osx cannot be installed on this mac
please tell which version of OSX 10.6 can be install in the above imac

First please don't post your serial number in a public. You should be able to install Mac OS X 10.6 on your system. The DVD you are using must be the original that came with the computer before it will work. What version of Mac OS X do you have on your system. I am thinking it is a higher version then 10.6.2.

Generation 4 iPod Connection to new iMac intel core 2 duo

Okay, first of all heres all my technical information:
-new iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
-Gen 4 iPod, non color diplay
-running iTunes 7.0.2
-sadly, no iPod power brick(although i think i need it to solve the problem)
Okay, now to the problem, I tried to connect the iPod to my new iMac, and it worked after leaving it alone for 15 minutes. It is formated to windows and i wanted the music to stay on it, so i disconnected it. Afterward i just thought, screw it, and connected it hoping to restore it, but it never showed up in iTunes or the finder. I thought this was odd, then i looked at the iPod and it displayed a image of a iPod power brick going into an outlet. i havent been able to get to the apple store and thought there must be an easier way to do this, so i went to get the old install disc for my iPod that came with it. Hoping this would finally work, i tried to run the package installer for the iPod to install the drivers, and it displayed(after it evaluated my comp) "Cannot be installed on this computer, missing Mac OSX Networking Update" I've looked all over the Downloads area of the Apple site and havent been able to find it. Can someone please help me!?!

I have the new 24" flat screen imac and a new IPOD video. I was using the ipod on an old mac with 10.4 and it was working ok with a few sync issues. But when I tried it with the new mac I get very bad results. Itunes hangs and I need to do a hard power reset. Then the ipod once hung up and I had to do a restore on my old mac. Still have not successfully used the ipod with the new mac.
my system is the following

Problem installating Snow Leopard on old Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo. After creating partition on internal hard disk (Extended Journaled), installation starts but stops at half of the progress bar. Screen asking Restart appears.

Hello:
I have tried installing Snow Leopard via the installation disc on a Macbook Pro (2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, but I the installation has failed more than 5 times.
I have first formatted and partitioned the internal hard disk with Mac Os Extended Journal format.
Once the installation starts, it starts without a problem unti lthe progress bar gest until half completed then a screen asking for a Computer Restart shows up.
It asks to press the power button for some time until it the computer shuts down and then, press again to turn it on.
Once turned on, the installation disc gets readed, the installation screen appears again and asks again to start the whole installation process form the beginning.

Then you have a Hardware Problem.
Your system is Crashing part way through the install and Re-Booting because of the crash.
Could be the drive itself or it could be some other hardware part in your system. Like the RAM.
To check if it is the internal drive connect an External drive to the system by USB and do the install on that external. If the install completes then it more then likely the drive is bad. If it crashes again then it is more then likely some other piece of hardware in your system.

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

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

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.

Photoshop Elements 4 and Intel Core 2 Duo?

Hello All
Does Photoshop Elements 4 (Mac) work on the new iMac's with the Intel Core 2 Duo Processors? I need to know before I buy it, I hear some say yes, and others say no.
Thanks for your time, I am a new mac owner and I Love it, but I need my photo editing software. Thanks Bobby

Hi, well first, are you running Parallels or Boot Camp? Make sure you are booted from your Mac Main HD OSX..This will be your default if you are not running Windows. Assuming you are just running OSX, turn on your computer, close all Apps except Finder & Dashboard..Then go to Finder->Applications->Utilities->
Disk Utility App-> Highlite your Main HD->Ensure the First Aid Box is highlighted->Repair Permissions (tab@lower part of screen) If anything shows as Repaired run again. After that return to main screen, insert the PE disk and follow the instructions. After installion & disc is ejected->Repair Permissions & I normally Reboot..L

Can't upgrade from 10.8 to 10.8.1 on Macbook Pro 17" 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

When I try and upgrade on my 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 17" from 10.8 to 10.8.1 there is no update in Software Update/App Store.
So I have downloaded the 10.8.1 patch from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571 it says that my machine "OSX Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirments for this update."
I had no problems updating with my iMac to 10.8.
Anyone know if this a problem or is 10.8.1 update for certain models?
Thanks in advance.

If I understand correctly you seem to be getting kernel panics. These can be caused from software and sometimes hardware. You can try the normal list of things. Reset the SMC, PMU, create a another user account and run in that account to see if the problem occurs. Also try repairing permissions from the original disc. you should also look at your battery information to see what the health of the battery is. You can do this via system profiler. I would also run Hardware test from the second install disc that came with your computer. This could help you rule out any hardware problems. Ram can be hard to troubleshoot since it can work fine one minute and not work the next. Also sometimes the hardware test can come up with false problems. I always note the problem and run the test a second time to make sure it was not a false error. If all those things do not fix the problem, I would consider doing a archive and install. This way you could rule out a software problem.
Instead of sending it in I suggest you take it to your local apple store if there is one close to you. They sometimes get repairs done faster.

Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.

My Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it. I've tried Option key, and Control S keys and it still will not boop up. Can anyone help?

If you are running Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you are running Lion or later:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?

Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
Regards
Stefan

Can OS X Snow Leopard be installed on a MacBook Pro5, 5 with an Intel Core 2 Duo?

This question may already exist somewhere in the support community, but if it is there I have missed it. If not, then here it is for myself and those of this specific inquiry.
I have a MacBook Pro bought in mid-2009, Model MacBookPro5, 5, with an Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, and approximately 140 GB of HD space, which meets the stated requirements for Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks. It is currently running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, and I am trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard, or, if possible, Mavericks. I have the Snow Leopard CD, and have tried to install it. However, I get the error message "OS X Can't be installed on this computer". I have tried it from my current OS and by booting directly from the CD. I do not have any partitions, and have backed up and erased the existing Macintosh HD volume, but the error message continues.
Can anyone shed some light into what is the issue? If so, much appreciated in advance.

Remousamavi,
yes, the MacBookPro5,5 (13-inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro) can run Snow Leopard. In fact, there were two varieties of model-specific grey installation DVDs for that model MacBook Pro: one had Leopard 10.5.7, and the other had Snow Leopard 10.6. (The “Apple disc ID” of the latter is 2Z691-6533-A.)
Do you have the white “upgrade” 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD, or the white “install” 10.6.3 Snow Leopard DVD? If you have the “upgrade” DVD, then it won’t let you install onto an empty partition; you’ll need to have Snow Leopard installed on your boot disk before it will install the upgrade.
Once you’ve got Snow Leopard installed and updated via Software Update to 10.6.8, you’ll be able to install Mavericks.

I have an imac with intel core 2 duo, I need to format and do't know how to do?

Hi,
I need to formate my imac, which has the processor 2.16 GHz intel core 2 duo. the operative system is mac os version 10.4.11 withx what is the best way to do that. I have an extern hard disc and already made a back up. All I need is to formate my imac. I have never done this before and I will be greatful for some information.

So, what are the problems requiring you to format it?
Do you have the install disks that came with the computer? If yes, insert the disk, and hit restart while holding C on the keyboard. Once you are past the language selection, go to the Utilities in the top menu, choose Disk Utility and choose your hard drive - you can format/partition/erase it from there.
Or, if the backup up you made is bootable, you can use it for boot with, then use Disk Utility as above.

GB09 & iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Whoa!

Monday my old eMac 1 Ghz PPC died. Luckily today the new iMacs came out so I purchased a 24" iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3. 1 Terabyte internal.
When I opened GB09 it was so fast my eyebrows singed! OUCH!
Now I don't have to use every trick in the book to keep GB from stopping every 3 seconds!
Apparently the motherboard in my eMac died but the drive is most likely still good. Unfortunately it has all my GB files and synths on it. (I was going to buy a new iMac as soon as it came out and transfer all my files to it but as luck would have it the eMac crapped out one day too soon).
Anyway since this is the forum I use the most I wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get my info off my other drive>
Can I remove it and get some sort of connector and hook it up to my new iMac?
Thanks
P.S.
My usual screen name is WarriorAnt but for some reason my new iMac is using my real name? Go figure.

Matt,
That eMac weighs at least 50 pounds! I already brought it to the Apple store twice in one day. They made me come back with it 4 hours later because I didn't have an appointment. 30 miles trip each way.
I finally got the eMac to respond thru commands from a safe mode start and then repairing the directory with diskwarrior and then again from the install DVD. I have pretty much determined that the RAM is OK and the logic board is functioning. The problem seems to be that the OS on the HD is somehow corrupted and cannot send the right info to the eMac to boot up.
I can boot it from the install disc no problem but I need some sort of bootable system disk like SYS 9 used to be able to get to the drive contents ( I think). I had to send away for a firewire 400 - 800 connector adapter so I can try to make the eMac drive a firewire target for migration to the iMac. The new iMac do not have 400 firewire capability.
If I can't get the info to migrate then I guess I'll have to open the eMac and pull out the drive and do the connector route and see if it will function as an external drive.
And just to relate this part of the thread to GB, well, all my GB .band files are on that drive in that computer! It only had to last one more day! The horror..........
I'm really loving my new iMac though. 5 years of using the old eMac with GB has truly tested my patience.
