It can only be upgraded to Lion; you should install more RAM first. Click here and order a download code for it.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

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:

Give this a try:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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 the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Hello friends!I use mac book(2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo).is it worth updating to snow leopard and then lion?if so how to do so?

Hello I use mac book 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo.Is it worth updating to latest version like snow leopard and then Lion or buying new mac air?
regards
Clayton.

Well, it depends on what you expect it to do and if it works as expected - it that answer is yes, I'd say make sure you max out the RAM (I've noticed Snow Leopard needs more). Doing it this way gives you a machine which will run 2 different OS versions - on the other hand, depending on when you'd buy the MBA, you may only be able to run Lion (unless you buy that quickly as well while they still come with SL).

My Mac has an 1.86 Intel Core Duo, does that mean I can't get Lion?

My Mac has a 1.86 Intel Core Duo, which is not listed for use with Lion, but I'm wondering how if it would work anyway. Just replaced the harddrive recently, and it otherwise meets our needs, don't want to upgrade, but want to use ICloud. Any thoughts?

It won't work at all. Lion will not allow you to install on a Core Duo because Lion requires a 64-bit processor. Your computer is only 32-bit. You can either sell your computer or give it away and buy a newer model.

My Mac says it has an Intel Core Duo processor. Will it work with Lion?

Bummer.
Not a bummer. What is wrong with the OS you are now using?
If it Ain't broken don't try to fix it.
Be Happy you don't have to deal with all the changes and inconsistencies that Lion has created between it and older Mac OSs

I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo. Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit. Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?

Hi,
the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
Sorry

Mac OS X on my Intel Core Duo PC

I own an Intel Core Duo PC. Since, Windows Vista is a pain in the butt, I am wondering if there is any apparent reason why I shouldn't just buy a copy of the Intel based Mac OS X and install it on my machine?
I called tech support, but they couldn't give me anything difinitive. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
Kory
Other OS

For one reason, the Tiger retail install package is not Universal. It includes a PPC binary only - written for a Mac with a PowerPC processor only. The Tiger install package that ships with a new Mac purchase is model and build specific including the install package that ships with an Intel Mac.
Regardless, this can't be done without a hack of some sort and even if successful it won't be worth the trouble and effort involved since much on your PC will not be supported by OS X.
In addition, this would violate Apple's license agreement.
Sorry but if you want to run the best OS, you need to purchase a Mac.

Can I run CS5 on a Intel Core Duo

Don't know or I wouldn't be asking. Seems smart to check before I download 20 gigs of Software for a 4 year old machine.

My mac book pro (2.66Ghz Intel core i7 4Gb ram) crashes every time I open iPhoto, browse photos or videos from Finder and work with slides, this started after I upgraded to mountain lion, what can I do??

I updated my OS to mountain lion and since then my mac book pro is virtually useless, seeng pictures, videos, using graphics applications and Iphoto is impossible, the screen goes black, and the system restarts.
This even happens sometimes at login, the login screen appears then the computer crashes and restarts, sometimes more than once, yesterday it even happened 6 times in a row before I was actually able to enter the password and log in.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Copy (command-C) the selected text to the Clipboard. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copy-and-paste as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Bought a macbook intel core duo, any upgrades available?

5 days before the macbooks with intel core 2 duo came out, i purchased a black one. Since it is within 30 days, is there any way for me to upgrade to the "new macbooks"?
Matt

Yes, you will be able to go and upgrade the "newer" mac books. The grace period isn't 30 days though, it is 14 days. What you need to do is go to an apple store with your reciept and say that you would like to get the newer MB. They will ask for a reciept and most likely will have to pay a re-stocking fee...
I hope this helps.

Cannot access my CDROM: Mac book pro 8,1 - Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011)

Aloha & Happy New Year,
Was running (triple booted with rEFIT) MAC OSX, win7 (64) and Linux (BT5/64) all was well. At some point Win7 crashed, thus I began the reinstall process.
Problem one, reinstalled OSX with install CD without issue. Then during the Q&A segment of fresh install vs.- use a backup copy option; I chose backup copy and somehow I ended up without the correct login pw. So now I cannot login. Nor can I reset using the Master or Firmware pw. I have tried every imaginable pw.
Problem two, during the iphone /iOS 5 upgrade debacle (The "Encrypt iphone backup "PW issue") I lost amongst other vital info, my notes which contained a copy of my firmware and master pw.
The main issue, I cannot access or utilize my CDROM in order to reinstall or access the disk utility. It simply bypasses any CDROM straight to the login screen.
I have attempted:
Restart HOLD-C, PRAM, NVRAM, Option key, restarting with WIN7, restarting with Linux, two different USB drives. Powered off, removed all cables. Opened up back panel, (grounded myself) removed power from logic board and re-connected all parts after several minutes. The question, why is the CD bypassed each and every time? Mind you, this is not the first time I have faced the bypass of the CDROM, yet each time before I have somehow solved the issue. It is a mystery. As in other threads I have posted I do have an iMAC next to my MB Pro. I unseccusfully attempted to use the iMAC for assistance in accessing the mb pro.
I AM AT A LOSS.

Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock.
Is this holding option while booting?
There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.
