Clean Installation Of FCE 3.5 UPGRADE On Core Duo iMac?

In a previous post Scott told me that when I get a new Core Duo iMac I will be able to install the UPGRADE version of FCE 3.5 straight away without needing to install the old FCE 3 first. (I will need of course to use my FCE3 serial number).
I have just contacted the UK Apple Store and was told that I would probably need to install FCE3 first! However, when I challenged him the rep wasn't too certain!
Does anyone definitely know whether I can just go ahead and install from the UPGRADE DVDs without needing my original FCE3 DVDs - apart from the serial number?
(Apologies to Scott for harbouring doubts but my middle name should have been Thomas!)

What VC are you using?
I use VMWare Player (free) and use it to create virtual clients as needed. Typically the virtual clients are "clean installs" from ISOs. VMWare has it so well mechanized that there's not much to it.
It's pretty quick and easy to install Player and give it a try. Another advantage to that approach is that there's only a single OS at the top level and backups can capture the whole mess w/out having to deal with 2 or 3 different OSs and their partitions.

Upgrading a Core Duo iMac

Is there an "economical" way to upgrade a Intel Core Duo iMac to a Core 2 Duo iMac to be able to run Lion? I think I know what the answer is: purchase a new or refurbished Core 2 Duo iMac but I just wanted to check. I have a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and thought having the iCloud available for both computers would be helpful.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Vernon

Hi Vernon,
The processors on Apple's iMacs are not upgradeable, they are part of the logic board.
Apple has some very reasonable deals on refurbs here and even new iMacs are very affordable. You can also look for good deals for used machines on CraigsList or eBay. It takes some searching to find the right deal but if you work at it you can come up with something worthwhile.
Best of luck.

Upgrade Intel Core Duo iMac to Core 2 Duo?

I know that, in theory a Merom processor is compatible with a motherboard made for a Yonah CPU, which is what's in the original Intel iMacs. However, I know that most Wintel laptops require a BIOS flash in order to support the newer processor.
My question: do you think it will be possible for us to upgrade to the Core 2 Duo from the Core Duo? Will the speed increase be worth it? From what I've read, Merom is not that much faster than Yonah, but has anyone seen anything different?

Hello,
People have installed them in the Mac Mini CoreSolo and CoreDuo without a BIOS or Firmware update. So, it should be fine doing the same in the iMac CoreDuo.
The CPU is in a socket in the iMac CoreDuo, so installation should not be a problem (if you don't mind dismantling your computer and voiding your warranty).
Reports have varied on the speed difference. But, you do gain 64-BIT capabilities with Merom. Otherwise, Merom's specs are very similar to Yonah, so the gains are only going to come from optimized routines. Raw processing power probably isn't much different and the bus speed is the same.
At this point in time, you're going to pay a lot for a new Merom chip. So, the cost benefit probably isn't there for an upgrade. But, as they become common and new versions arrive, the chips will probably drop a bit in price and make the upgrade more cost effective.
I hope this helps.

Firmware upgrade for core duo imacs

i recently tried to upgrade the firmware on my core duo 20in imac, I went to the network utility where it only showed 802.11a,b,g indicating that it was the correct machine for the upgrade. I tried to install the upgrade and got the message the hardware on this computer is not right for the upgrade, or something like that.
Any help/advice as to why I cannot upgrade what seems to be a qualifying computer, this will make a big difference to my network.

taoryu, Welcome to the discussion area!
First of all how do you post a new topic on Apple Discussions.
It' very simple:
You go to the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard > Mail and Address Book discussion area.
Click on the link titled "Post New Topic".
I have some friends who have prying eyes. I have some valuable information come through apple mail. They are not on the computer that often, so I'd rather NOT make a separate user account, but for the few times they are, I don't want Apple Mail so easy to access. Is there a way of securing the information like a password. EVERY email application I've seen has this option, Apple Mail must have something similar. Any ideas???
You already know the answer. Create a separate OS X user account and force them to log into that.

Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

Airport Extreme 802.11n upgrade options for early Intel Core Duo iMac

I have an iMac from mid 2006. I recently purchased a Timecapsule - partly for the wireless back ups, and partly to upgrade my wireless network to 802.11n. There is a software upgrade from Apple that upgrades older 802.11 a/b/g Airport cards in the iMac to 'n' standard. Here is the link:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/D4141ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MjIzMDkzNA
The page states that the upgrade is compatible "If you have a Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)". What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work. I have also tried to install Airport Extreme updates (2007002 and 2008004) and these report that the hardware is not compatible. Doing some searching around these forums and others, the issue with the original Core Duo iMacs not being upgradeable to 802.11n is out there - shame Apple weren't more explicit.
I have seen that there are various USB based 802.11n adapters available. Whilst searching on this topic, I also came across a site offering various Mac upgrades, including an upgrade to the Airport card to upgrade wireless capability from 802.11g to 802.11n. It looks like a straight replacement for the internal card - link here:
http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/productinfo.php?productsid=461
The company offering this is in the UK, but the product appears to be from a Sonnet, a US company. Does anyone out there have experience of installing this product (or having it installed) and can you comment on how it performs? Is it a seamless replacement for the original Airport card?

What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work.
If it says you need to have a Core "2" Duo processor, then it seems to me they are telling you very clearly that it will not work with the earlier Core (no "2") Duo iMacs.
The "late 2006" iMacs with Core 2 Duo (except for that one education model they mentioned) have wireless networking hardware that is 802.11n capable. When they were initially sold, Apple chose to NOT enable the "n" capability for some reason; maybe because the standard was still in flux and not enough testing had been done with the driver. Later, they enabled the "n" capability with a firmware update. But that was only possible because the wireless hardware was already capable of doing "n."
Earlier iMacs do not have this hardware so there is no way to enable it with a firmware or software update. 802.11g is plenty fast enough for Internet access (you won't notice a difference with "n"). If you are using Time Machine over wireless, it may take a while longer to do that initial backup (you could connected it by Ethernet cable when it is doing that initial backup), but subsequent backups are incremental, so the "g" versus "n" speed difference will not be as critical. Since your iMac is Core Duo (32-bit) and the future of Mac OS X is 64-bit, especially after Snow Leopard's release, it may be best to save your money and keep your iMac intact (not opened).

Can I upgrade a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

Can I upgrade a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo iMac running Leopard OS X 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3?

Yes this machine will run 10.6 with no problem
Sadly it will not be able to run 10.7 in the future though.

Upgrade card for Core Duo iMac to benefit from Airport Extreme

I just bought Airport Extreme for "n" speeds. I didn't realize it required Core 2 Duo for the fastest speeds. Does anyone know of an upgrade card I could install to my Core Duo iMac? Thanks.
iMac Core Duo, iMac Core 2 Duo, MacBook Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There is an article floating around the web of
removing the 2 antennae extreme card from a Mac Pro
and installing it in a MacBook to get 802.11n
connectability, but the connection isn't reported to
be any better or faster.
Also, everything on the network must be 802.11n to
get the n speeds. A mixed network is slower.
I just took the Airport Extreme 802.11n module out of my Mac Pro and installed in my CoreDuo MacBook Pro. After applying the enabler patch off the CD, my network connection speeds report as 270mb connecting to a wide-band N-only Airport Extreme Base Station.
Performance boost on initial file transfer speeds are significant. A 203mb test file took 6+ minutes on my G-only network. The same file, on the N-only network took 49 seconds.
I would call that both better and faster.
Of course for those looking to use it on the mixed B/G/N networks to surf the web aren't going to notice any difference. I think a lot of people forget that regardless of their wireless network speed, even on the fastest of home broadband connections they're not going to be getting more than 8mbs coming into the WAN side of the network if they're on fiber cable. A DSL connection might get 2mbs. The internet itself for most will be a significant bottleneck for most users.
If you're doing a lot of transfers of large files on your internal LAN, the performance is worth the $49 part.
What's really bizarre is that Apple chose to put 100mbs wired ethernet ports on the Airport Extreme Base Station, which means when I hook a USB drive to it, I should actually get faster transfers wirelessly than wired. How bizarre is that?

Should I upgrade Intel Core Duo 1 Mac Mini (2006) to Snow Leopard?

Okay I have a 80 GB Apple Mac Mini with Intel Core Duo 1 proccessor that shipped with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.7) currently running 10.4.11 that I want to upgrade to either Leopard or Snow Leopard in a few months just in time for Christmas which I acquired in September 2006. It was the first Mac Mini model to include Apple's Front Row software and shipped with an Apple Remote (I know Macs don't ship with Apple Remotes anymore you have to buy them separately) and am now pondering an update. I've heard some things about Snow Leopard not working so well with older Macs even Intel based Macs that are only 32 bit.
Thing is I just got a new MacBook Pro that shipped with Snow Leopard and it seems to run fine on the MacBook Pro except for the fact a few applications I wanted to install wouldn't work with Snow Leopard like Google Desktop for Mac so was wondering if I should update the Mac Mini also to Snow Leopard. I do not particularly like how Apple removed the transcoding features to export video from one format to another in QuickTime X that was available to QuickTime 7 Pro users (actually reinstalled QuickTime 7 Pro on my new MacBook Pro so I can still use that despite QuickTime X being installed) but like Expose integrated with the Dock Menu that's new in Snow Leopard and features like Cover Flow built into the Finder (available also in Leopard along with Spaces) so if I update the Mac Mini should I update to Snow Leopard or Leopard?
This is a 2nd generation Mac Mini (the 1st generation had PowerPC chips) with Mac OS X Tiger and I've heard some negative news about upgrading Mac Mini to Snow Leopard so I want to get some more feedback on whether or not its worth it. The Mac Mini came with iLife and iWork 06 versions but updated iWork to iWork 08 Family Pack. Still have iLife 06 though and am still running iTunes 8.2.1 on the Mac Mini.
I use this computer as my main system for syncing with iPods (I have a 5th gen video iPod and a 2nd gen iPod Touch that I sync with the iTunes Library on my Mac Mini which includes videos purchased earlier from iTunes Store and music purchases as well as TV purchases) so don't want to risk messing up the system with a Snow Leopard update if it is going to cause problems doing so. If Snow Leopard is not good for the Mac Mini will just update to Leopard and stick with Mac OS 10.5 Leopard on this system.

I upgraded my mac mini 1.5GHz core solo to a Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz in order to run most of SL's 64 bit stuff. I bought a pulled Core 2 Duo from ebay for $29 and it took about 1.5 hours to do the switch.
The main downside with the 2nd gen Mac Mini is the kernel cannot run in 64 bit mode due to a 32 bit controller that cannot be upgraded. Yet, booting into 32 bit kernel is SL's default setting and as you may have read in articles when SL came out, relying on a 32 bit kernel does not slow down use of 64 bit apps. I maxed RAM to this mac mini's 2 Gig limit years ago which is a good thing for you to do too.
I am happy to report the upgraded Mac Mini runs much faster than originally thanks to the 2 gig of RAM and the Core 2 Duo chip. Installing SL made it run faster still and consumption of memory for apps is lower (smaller pipeline requirements with faster CPU), and about 14 GIG of HDD space was recovered since I did not reinstall Xcode tools. I can now encode 1.5 hour long video files that used to take overnight processing time. CPU runs hotter, up to 89ºC, but usually run only about 10º higher on average than before while fan rev's not noticeably more than before between 1500 to 1800.
If you are not comfortable to upgrade the CPU, I think you will still find some benefit to SL for $25. Alternatively you could sell your Mac Mini on ebay (these 2nd gen model are popular for those want to do the upgrade) and use the proceeds to buy a refurbished current gen Mac Mini.

Upgrading from Core Duo - Core 2 Duo & activating 64 bit

I'm in the process of having my old Core Duo logic board replaced with a Core 2 Duo board in my 2006 iMac.
As it is my understanding that this type of chip enables Snow Leopard to run many of its applications and processes in 64-bit mode, I wonder if this will happen automatically next time I turn the machine on (is the code automatically in there and SL just looks at the processor to see what it can do?), or will I need to reinstall some/all of Snow Leopard -- on the hypothetical basis that when I installed it with the original Core Duo chip, the installer looked at my chip and went with a 32 bit install ... or something like that?

It should all be automatic. However, the replacement board may not boot into 64-bit kernel automatically. See the following:
OS X v10.6- Starting up with the 32-bit or 64-bit kernel
OS X v10.6- Macs that use the 64-bit kernel

Upgrade to Leopard on Intel Core Duo IMAC with Parallels and VM Ware

I received my copy of Leopard 10.5.1 today but after reading so many installation reviews on various sites, including this one, I am hesitant to install it. I did purchase a 500G Lacie firewire drive only because someone suggested cloning my current drive, just in case. I needed the extra drive anyway. I read up making sure all the permissions are up to date, so I was going to boot to my Tiger disc to make sure everything is fine with the hard drive. I am not sure how to proceed.
Is there a way to have everything backed-up so that I don't have to reinstall everything over again?
I don't want to loose my settings either. Someone on one site said boot to Leopard to install, but I don't want to erase my current OS or files. Others say just put the Leopard disc in and go from there. Again, I'm not sure which menu items to activate.
Any links to step-by-step procedures for upgrading to Leopard would also be appreciated. Then I understand I have to upgrade to 10.5.2 and that may be a problem too.
Thanks,
Tim

1. Prepare your system for backup:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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 shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) 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. Prepare your new external hard drive:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
3. Create a bootable clone of your system to the external drive:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
If you upgrade to Leopard I suggest you do so using Archive and Install rather than an Upgrade Install:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
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.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
You do not have to update to 10.5.2 immediately unless you want to. Software Update will present you with a number of updates that may be available. However, you can wait on these until you are satisfied everything is working as you'd expect. When you do decide to install the updates just be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions first as a precaution.

I can't upgrade from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 on my Core Duo iMac (2008).

I have just acquired an iMac Core Duo 2008 3.06GHz running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I have tried both 'Software Update' and a 10.6.8 Combo download but I just get a 'failed' message 'contact your software manufacturer' as soon as I launch it. The combo I used is the same one that I had already successfully updated my work Mac Pro with, so I know the file is OK. Any ideas?

To repair Permissions, open Disk Utility in Utilities (that's in the Applications folder of the hard drive folder), select the startup volume, which will be second listed and indented. Just hit the Repair Permissions button and let it do its thing.
But do this when you've gotten into Safe Boot. Keep holding Shift down until you see a progress indicator bar at the bottom of the screen. After a while, this will bring you to a login window with "Safe Boot" in red letters. Then continue logging in.

IMac 1.5 (upgraded to core duo) soundcard quit (during a movie)

Hey guys,
I was watching dogma (an avi file) and all of a sudden, the sound cut out. I tried restarting and noticed that the soundcard had diss-appeared. I have an M-Audio fasttrack USB soundcard that im using now... but does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this without having to use the m-audio?
Also, when i plug my iMac into my TV and turn up the volumn, its completely silent... the Mac Mini has a humm to it. Dont know if that helps.
J

Try this -
Export a Quicktime Movie (not Quicktime Conversion) with Current Settings and Self Contained selected.
Take that file into Compressor to convert to another format. It will be faster and less prone to wonky behavior.

Have Upgrade Graphic Card Driver, But Still Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness and Sleep Button Not Showing After Clean Installation of Windows 8.1

I have done clean installation of Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion G4.
Then I realize that I cannot put my computer on sleep mode and cannot adjust screen brightness.
I understand that those problems caused by the graphic card driver.
My computer is running on AMD Radeon HD 6400 series.
Thus, I manually search on internet and found a latest graphic card update on microsoft site that is claimed compatible on windows 8.1 (link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn344644.aspx).
I've upgraded it into the latest one. I've check on Device Manager, the driver is running well.
But my problem did not solved!
Please give me the solution!

Hi,
How about go to Device Manager, then uninstall Graphic driver and restart your computer, system will install its build in graphic drver. You can have a try.
In addition, access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Brightness and set its value to 100 for test.

Clean-installation of Leopard having issues with OD but upgrading not

The server is a 10.4.11 with open directory, dns and AFP that it was working fine with 20 iMac (10.4.11) for long time, we are considering to update the clients to Leopard, the big problem is coming to connect with the OD, if I upgraded a tiger imac to leopard it works perfectly taking 10 seconds to connect. But if I do a clean installation it takes 10-20 min or sometimes doesn't connect. Curiously if I try to add the OD in the Directory Utility using the name it takes 5 mins but using the IP is immediately. Please, ready what I check before to tell me that it is a dns problem.
-- I've checked all the network settings, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts , etc being the same that the client upgrated from tiger that works fine.
-- I've checked all settings in the Directory Utility.
-- The client is up-to-date with the server
-- The file /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos is right.
-- nslookup,ping and trace work fine and with good timing.
-- I've stopped the OD server (setting standalone and starting again), without any help.
-- Physical connection obviously is ok
Any help could be valuable, thanks in advance

first at all thanks for your help.
All the clients have in the primary dns the server ip, and the server doesn't have dhcp server because all the machines use fixed ip. Btw I'm using the same settings that the tiger clients, and these always work perfectly..
the result of the changeip is:
[server.ds.perico] /Users/macroot > sudo changeip -checkhostname
Password:
Primary address = 192.168.7.20
Current HostName = server.ds.perico
DNS HostName = server.ds.perico
The names match. There is nothing to change.
Thanks in advance
