  • What would cause a MacBook Pro display to begin having a red cast to everything I view? MacBookPro1,1 Mac OS X, 1.3 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz RAM

    All of a sudden my MacBook Pro (Granted it is an old computer) started having a red cast to the display.  All shading and shadows are red now.  Up until yesterday, I never had any problems with the display.  Is it just getting too old?  Computer works fine otherwise.

    Your install disk must look like this

    I tried adding more ram but the Mac would't even boot with 2x2GB installed. I figured that it was limited so I forgot about it. Wha's the advantage of adding it if it is not recognized?
    Chances are you either did not install or correctly or added the incorrect RAM.

  • HT1338 i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6

    i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6 pls help me

    ok but i have mac os x.
    I'll explain the numbering system for you.
    With the operating systems numbering format it works as this: for example with 10.5.8, the first number is redundant because they are all 10 since 2001. This is the X in OS X
    The second number is the upgrade version, which have cat names attached to them. 10.5 is Leopard. Each of these upgrade names must be purchased.  If you want 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you need to buy it,
    The last number is the update version, which is free, but requires the upgrade before you can install it.
    So, you currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and you ask how to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I have given you the link of how buy it.
    so do i must change mac os x (10.5) to snow-leopard.
    The choice is yours. You do not have to upgrade if you do not wish to.

  • 21.5" 2.4 ghz Intel core duo with 4 GB memory iMac w/ OS X 10.5.8

    my 2008 21.5" 2.4 ghz Intel core duo with 4 GB memory iMac is running OS X 10.5.8 and has recently started over heating and locking up .... even with applications that it has never had problems with before .... I don't think it's capable of being upgraded any further, right? can I upgrade the graphics card or is that even worth it?

    Your tems are fine, nothing at all to worry about. One thing you can do is shut down the computer, remove the RAM plate cover on the bottom and vacuum out the air intake. As for the spinning beach balls that isn't a freeze it means a process is busy. You can run Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and when you begin getting SBBOD look in AM and see if you see any processes using a large %CPU and also click the System Memory tab and look to see how much FREE RAM is available at that point in time. As a general rule of thumb OS X likes to have 500MB or more of FREE RAM, if you see it's at or below 500MB then a RAM upgrade is needed or you need to reduce the amount of open windows. The graphic will look similar to:
    Also I'd strongly recommend carefully reading the XLab's Spinning Beach Ball of Death article. It's an excellent guide on how to trouble shoot spinning beach ball issues.

  • I have a iMac 8.1- 2.4 Ghz Intel Core2 Duo with iGb RAM . I wish to upgrade to OSLion which requires 2Gb RAM, which Memory 2Gb card would be the most suitable

    I have an iMac 8.1 - 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1Gb Ram. I wish to upgrade to OS Lion which requires 2Gb RAM. Which 2Gb card would be the most suitable .

    Go to crucial.com
    Enter your specs, and buy as much as it'll hold. You'll be happy you did. I've been using them for years. Great company, and the best value for RAM in my opinion. And you don't want to mess with cheap RAM. It can mess EVERYTHING up...

  • Audio playback issues; Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 Intel Core Duo 2007/2008 model

    Hiya,
         I cannot fully remember when this issue started but recently it has made listening to music, watching videos impossible. Whenever i play audio via iTunes, QuickTime, YouTube, Streaming via Chrome/Safari after about 5-10 seconds the sound will start to stall and then the machine will also stall and often become unresponsive untill i hit pause/stop or the mute button on the keyboard. I do not have this issue when using Ableton Live 8 or Logic Pro 9 as the sound and performance is what you would expect from an apple product; perfect.
    I have had my logic board "replaced" twice via apple due to the NAVIDA issue on my model of macbook pro and they did mention that since they replaced it my macbook had developed a "software issue" which they aknowledged to be thier fault.
    I have booked into see the genuis bar this saturday but was wondering if anyone has had these issues?

    Gordon,
    A couple of things this is an iMac forum, there is a MacBook Pro forum I'd recommend you repost to. Also I have asked the moderator to remove the serial number of your machine to protect your security. Next time you copy and paste just remove the serial number it isn't needed.
    Best of luck.

  • IMac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB RAM

    The Internet is frequently very slow.  I am hard wired to the TimeWarner Motorola cable modem, but also have a new router with 5 GHz that has a Firewire port.  Would my Internet speed increase substantially by hard wiring to the router by Firewire?
    My MacBook with 4GB RAM is much faster via a wireless connection.
    Thanks very much for any ideas or comments.

    Unfortunately, connecting your iMac by Firewire directly to a router which then connects to the cable modem will Not increase the speed of your Interent connection relative to directly connecting your iMac to the cable modem.  Your iMac's network speed is at your ISP's delivered maximum directly through the cable modem.  All the router would add is the ability to share the cable modem's  output signal  among multiple connected computers. I believe you are experiencing the fact that the internal hardware (CPU, RAM, etc.) of your older iMac may be slower in processing the ISP's internet signal than your more powerful MacBook.
    Hope this helps:)

  • Macbook pro 13" 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 with temp at 90degcelcius

    Hi, i just got a macbook pro 13" yesterday, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7. I previously owned a 13" macbook pro also. However, my concern is that when i'm not using any applications and nothing is running, the laptops' temp goes up to 90degrees celcius. Why is this so? And I have to manually increase the fan speed to 6000rpm using smcfancontrol.. Please help.

    If there are no applications open, then clearly something is wrong.  Take advantage of you warranty and have the Apple technicians at the genius bar fix the problem.
    You could run a Apple Hardware test just to see if you can pick up any faults.  I would not be surprised if your MBP has a bad heat sensor.
    Ciao

  • I am running 10.6.8 but can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor 1.83 GB memory. What should I do?

    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.

  • 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.

  • I have a Macbook Model No A1181 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo with 4 Gb Ram. Should I be able to instal Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 cos I'm having problems?

    I have a Macbook Model No A1181 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo with 4 Gb Ram. Should I be able to instal Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 cos I'm having problems? As I read it My machine should be able to run the software.
    Thanks in advance

    You are trying to use software that is over 10 years old. As I read it, FCP 3.0.2 required 10.1 or higher at the time, but as FCP is reliant on quicktime, which has been updated many, many times, I doubt that you will ever get it to work properly.
