Can I use Firefox 4.0.1 with my Mac OS 10.5.8 and my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor?
I keep getting a notice that an update is available:Firefox 4.0.1. When I try to download the update, the computer tries to download it, but it goes on forever and never finishes. I thought maybe this was because it is incompatible with my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck -
How do I update my macbook pro with 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors from OSX 10.5.8 to 10.7?
Firefox 16.0.2 was the last to work on the old Mac OSX 10.5.x as Firefox 17.0 to current has required OSX 10.6+

Lightroom 5 with a 2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor?
I just bought and installed LR5 and it is not importing or even opening folders of images on my hard drive. I have a MacBook with a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and I see on the packaging that the software requires a Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support. I am not sure if this is the problem. I otherwise meet all the requirements.
Can someone help?I think you are right at the minimum specs.... but you should still be able to oprate even at a slow spped.
How are you trying to import and please don't have threads /post in different forums and with similar questions. It wastes a lot of time reading the same/similar things over and over.
We'll sort you out ok though!! -
Question: I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory. It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?
The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images). You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer. If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it. If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
NOTE: If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5. -
Can a 2009 Mac Mini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor accept Mavericks OS?
Considering buying a 2009 Mac Mini with a 2GHz Intel Core Duo processor. Before the drive was wiped to sell, it ran OS 10.9.2. Will that accept a new OS and an upgrade to Mavericks?
10.9.2 is Mavericks. 10.9.4 is also Mavericks.

help
zibiva,
depending upon what you use your Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook for, you could increase your RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB or 8 GB; you could replace its hard disk drive with a SSD; and/or you could examine what software is currently in regular use, to see if any of those apps is contributing to the slowdown. If you haven’t done so already, you could download and install EtreCheck, and include the output from running EtreCheck in your reply, to see if anything there stands out as being particularly CPU- or RAM-intensive. -
Any help for this
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X Mavericks needs a Late 2008 Aluminum or an Early 2009 or newer MacBook, so your Mac is not supported. You are running the latest Mac OS X version for your MacBook. -
I am a photographer and do alot of editing and uploading of images to my current laptop but is very old and un reliable. will this laptop be ok for me? As far as graphics go will i be able to see the correct colors and smoothness?
I'd want more memory if I was doing image adjusting/editing. MPB 8GB RAM 2.6GHz processor Retina display would be my choice. Also the largest SSD available - image files can take up a lot of space. You'll still want external drives for storage and backup.

Take it in for diagnosis/repair. I suspect you have a hardware problem (or problems).

Should I upgrade to Snow Leopard/ Lion using a MacBook Pro with 2.26 GHz Inetl Core 2 Duo Processor and 2GB Memory? Can my old macbook take it?
thanksYes. You should be fine with Snow Leopard, but Lion requires a minimum of 2 GBs of RAM. If you upgrade to Lion I would first upgrade your RAM to at least 4 GBs if your model supports it. Also, see:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then 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. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) 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.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s). -
I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!
When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router. -

Can I use a Asus Nvidia gt640 with a mac pro 2006?
Just got my first intel mac! Not the newest thing but it will do. I just have a quick question, can I use the Nvidia gt640 2gb with a Mac pro 2006 with no flashing of the system or the card. Thank's. -Edward
First, you need to look at what OS version you have. Mnay people (myself included) running some of the newer OS version are using Nvidia cards not released for the Mac. OS X Mavericks for example will support these cards, but you lose some functionaility (boot screen, etc.) Once the machine is up and running they work fine.
With a 2006 model you are before the 3.1 machines and therefore limited in the OSX version you can run. I think you need at least 10.7 Lion.
So if you can run 10.7 the answer is probably, but then you will lose some basic functionality. For many this is not important.
