Does Macbook with intel core2 duo suffer from discolor on the handrest?
I was wondering, I have a Macbook with intel core2 duo, and was wondering if it suffers from discolouration as in the previous model with just intel core duo?
Am going to have to contradict you and say no, it
hasn't been resolved. I love my Mac almost beyond
words but after 4 weeks it was showing signs of
discolouration + I intend taking it in for a chat.
What you mean is that it's supposed to have been
resolved.
I've always maintained that the chassis and plastics on the MacBook are really poorly designed. Not saying that about the electronics, which, in my opinion, is purely elegant. By saying ''poorly designed'', I'm not attacking Apple. Just that sometimes this stuff happens.
So, my solution was to go with the flow and look for options that combat it. In my case Mareware makes a decent skin that goes where your palms go.
I'm on my second skin. The first skin was white to match the MacBook plastic. However, even though my hands are generally clean, the Mareware began staining after about four months.
So, I purchased a second skin, a BLACK skin. Kinda cool. Contrasting. And it just doesn't SHOW the staining.
Anyway, I really have enjoyed using the MacBook. Don't like the case. Apple did a great job in getting the heat issue resolved. Just the case... No biggie for me.
I love this computer.

[Please Help]Does MSI Axis 945G support intel core2 duo T7600?
I have an idle CPU intel core2 duo T7600,so I am considering buying an AXIS 945GM to let it work.
I have a question ,does MSI Axis 945G support intel core2 duo T7600?
I checked the CPU suppot list on MSI website,I just found it suppots upto T7400.
Can I flash the new BIOS v1.23 to support T7600?
thank you!According to the CPU Support List, this won't help. The best thing to do would be to contact MSI Technical Support. Maybe they can give you a more definate answer:

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe. -
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.

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.

Can I get iCloud if I use a MacBookPro with Intel Core Duo (not Core 2)? I can't upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.7 without a Core 2.
Lion (10.7.x) needs Core2Duo.

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

I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion. However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine than using Snow Leopard?
Which iMac? Which Macbook? Both have had several model
itertations, even within the framework of a Core2Duo processor.
With that said, I have an early 2009 iMac 24", with 2.66 GHz
Core2Duo with 8 gig of RAM, and in my opinion, seems to be running
smoother and faster with Lion. -
Can I upgrade my 2006 iMac 4,1 with Intel Core Duo w/1/5GB memory, 667GHz Bus Speed, 2GHz Processor Speed to the newer OS systems?
I have been told my machine is now "vintage or obsolete" and can't be upgraded to the newest OS software.The maximum OS for that iMac is 10.6.8.

System Information Shows only 1 Core instead of 2 Cores for Intel Core2 Duo CPU T9300
When i go to System information,It Displays Processor Details as Intel(TM) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300 @2.5Ghz, 2501 Mhz, 1Core(s), 1 Logical Processor(s). I think that display is wrong, since the CPU must have 2 Cores, since it is Core2 Duo Processor. And according to Intel Specifications of Core2 Duo Processor T9300 has 2 cores and 2 Threads.

My doubt is that one of the 2 CORES might not be functioning. I am not sure since technically I am a Zero.
Any help is greatly appriciated

And there is no reason to remove the battery since there is that little button you can push to clear the CMOS.
you might be amazed on how many times pushing the button it's just not enough.

I doubt I would be writing you from this machine if I had flashed it with the BIOS for the wrong board
no offense but how should i know that you don't have one more comp at home.
what was the previous problem you had with the mobo for which you needed a BIOS update?
edit: just remembered something. what PSU do you have? -
Systeme 9 and Classic environnement on Macbook with Intel
Is somebody can tell me if I can run something from the classic environnement with my new Macbook with Intel proc. I read that it's impossible. Can I do something? I need a to run some things from OS9 and classic Thanks
you can emulate a classic environment with this:

I have never used it myself, but it says you will need a copy of macOS classic for it to work.
There is no way in intel OSX to run classic applications... -
I purchased snow leopard from online macstore in Australia and got a disk with OSX 10.6.3 but my macbook with intel processor and 1 gig won't update from 10.5.8. It restarts but doesn't update after disk installs. Do I need 10.6.0 to install first?
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD, restart your MacBook while holding down the C key, this should start your Mac from the optical drive instead of your hard drive. Choose your language and install Snow Leopard. When it's done and you've restarted on your new 10.6.3 system run software update to upgrade to 10.6.8. Done.

Firstly, I am a little angered that apple has not come out with any directly supported options to allow people with my macbook pro to upgrade to the new wireless N capability.
Therefore I have found a 3rd party option that is being offered by fastmac (http://fastmac.com/ncard.php) that will allow for wireless N wifi.
My only concern is if having this installed (professionally by them or by an authorized reseller, say compusa) would cause my entire applecare warranty to be voided or just the part that covers the wireless card. I could deal with having the wireless card voided as it would be under warranty by fast mac...
Macbook pro intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)Your warranty is not voided by installing the Airport card. However, any damage that may be caused by the installation of the card would not be covered under the warranty.
Secondly, the Airport Extreme card that supports 802.11n is available as an upgrade kit for Mac Pros. Some Apple dealers may be able to obtain and install the card for you in your computer. -

Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
Thanks...Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.
