Can I upgrade my iMac intel core duo to run lion
I have an iMac 17" that works great is in great shape, just had a 500 gb hard drive installed...realized that I could not install the new Lion because I had an intel core duo processor and not an intel core 2 duo processor. I don't have the money to buy a new iMac...is there anyway to upgrade the processor?
Cannot be upgraded.
Although there are those that are crazy enough to try anything.
So if your anything like me: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/imac-aluminum-faq/imac-intel-aluminum -processor-upgrade-instructions.html -
Will iCloud work when iMac (1.83 GHz. Intel Core Duo) is running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4th gen. iPod touch (iOS 6) because unable to upgrade to Lion due to processor's inablit to meet Apple's specifications for Lion? My family had three iPod touch (iSO 6) devices and currently use iClou, but set it up with a Macbook Air using Lion- but yesterday it died. Is there any way to retain the use of oPod touh devices, iTunes purchases, and iCloud services (and the huge amount of money spent on the) if not able to use the Macbook Air? I know the iMac is "old" but do not have thousands of dollars to purchase new computer at this time.
10.7.2 or later is required to use iCloud on the computer. Your iPod Touch, however, would have full use of iCloud.

Why did Apple exclude Intel Core Duo Macbook from Lion compatibility?
I own Macbook with Intel Core Duo. I just discovered that I cannot install OSX 10.7 (Lion) on this Macbook. Why did Apple exclude this system?
Some MacMini 1.83s had Intel Core 2 Duo's, are you sure about that being a Core Duo?

MBP 2.16 Intel Core Duo upgradable to n?
just wondering because if the 2.16 ghz is upgradable? According to the updater it says "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update."
I have your same set-up and I upgraded. It seems to be working really well. It is true, I am probably not allowed to post what I did here but Apple should be figuring out a way to make the N-draft available for all intels, at the very least.
If you want to know what I did, send me an email at [email protected] -
Will lion run on Intel Core Duo?
Will Lion OS run on a 2GHz Intel Core Duo?
No. Lion will not run on an Intel Core Duo.
The hardware requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
I have a MBP with 2 GB of RAM which is running Lion quite happily.

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?
I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.

My mac has a intel core duo, not a intel 2 core duo, can I still upgrade to lion
My Mac has an intel core duo processor, will I still be able to upgrade to Lion? What do I need to do if I can't?
I have a similar question.
I have a 2006 xeon macpro.
Will i beable to upgrade to lion.
I saw this on the website today.
Step 1:Make sure your Mac can run Lion.
Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac.
Here is what i have.
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Will i be good to upgrade?
Thanks

Can I Upgrade my computer to Lion. I have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor. My computer is 6 years old. Right now I have Snow Leopard.
I have an old iMac about that age that I upgraded to Lion to test my 3rd party applications for compatibility. It upgraded quite simply. Please backup or save all your info/etc to an external CD/DVD/Hard drive, then try to run the installer. The Lion installer will analize your Mac for compatibility before it does anything, and will alert you to it's decisision. My 17" iMac is also 2 GHZ Intel core duo. Surprisingly for many of the things I use it for it works as good as my multi thousand dollar MacPro workstation. Best of luck. But Lion isn't compatible with many third party applications and drivers for printers; scanners; etc.

I have a MacBook running OS X v10.6.8 and I'm trying to upgrade to Mouton Lion but I can"t download it from the app store. It says I need a intel core duo which i have. does anyone know whats happening here?
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications. -
The issue is, I teach photography and just downloaded Lightroom 4.
Well, LR4 won't run on the older OS. So, before I try to download Mountain Lion, I need to know if it will work on this computer or is it simply too old.
ThanksOS X Lion and Mountain Lion are 64-bit operating systems, and the Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so you can't use Lion and Mountain Lion on your computer. Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the most recent version for your computer.
As I can see, you are running Mac OS X Leopard, so buy Snow Leopard. Then, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade OS X. When the upgrade finishes, open > Software Update to update to the most recent version, so you will be using 10.6.8 -
Can a MacBook Pro1,1 - 2GHz Intel Core Duo be upgraded to Lion or even Leopard?
Is it possible to upgrade the OS from Tiger to either Lion or Leopard on a MacBookPro1,1 2GHz Intel Core Duo (2006)? Need to upgrade Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft software...
Here's something to consider. I see you have 1G RAM. That works well enough for Tiger 10.4. However, I think Leopard or Snow Leopard will be happier if you increase the RAM.
Your MBP can handle up to 2G of RAM. It has two RAM slots'In your case, there would be one 512MB module in each slot. You could replace one 512MB module with a 1G module and have a total over 1.5G. That would be a big help. Or replace both. If you are in the US, RAM is not expensive (see: 2.0GB Upgrade Kit (1.0GB Modules x 2 Matched) for US$33), and the RAM is easily installed even by the most novice user.
Here are the Apple Instructions for installing RAM in teh first Gen MacBook Pros:

My MacBook software is 10.6.8 but I can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB memory. What to do?
Lion/101.7 System requirements
• x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
• At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
• Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
• At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications. -
I have an old imac 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, can I upgrade to Mountain X lion?
I have an old imac 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, that still runs on OS X 10.4.11, can I upgrade to Mountain X lion? Is my Iphone with Ios6 will work on it?
1. No.
2. Yes. Phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, install it, and run Software Update.

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.
