Hello I have a 24-inch iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X Leopard 10.5.8. Is the Mac I kompaktibel with the new OS X Lion Mountain? Thanks for the answer. E.Monti

Hi,
This is the compatibility list
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
if your iMac is mid2007 or newer - yes.
You will need to upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) first buy DVD from online apple store
Then to 10.7 Lion - buy and download via Store App included in SL
and then 10.8 Mountain Lion upgrade the same steps as Lion

Is RAM and OS for iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo upgradeable?

Can the RAM and OS for a iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, MAC OS X 10.6.8 be upgraded? Looking to upgrade to 4 GB RAM and OS X 10.8. Please advise. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course you can upgrade RAM. You have a Late 2006 iMac, which supports 4 GB of RAM. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_2006
This Mac can't be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion because OS X Mountain Lion needs a Mid 2007 or newer iMac. Instead, you can upgrade to OS X Lion by calling Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5

Hello
I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5
Is my hardware not good for this new OS ?
Can I upgrade my computer to Mountain Lion OS and make it faster ?

Mountain Lion won't make it faster. It may not even be compatible. Speed has a lot to do with what is installed, installation of utilities that actually slow you down, such as MacKeeper, or any cache cleaning softawre. Installation of utilities that you don't need such as anti-virus or firewall software. Peer2peer software. Other devices sharing the same network can slow it down too, make sure your network is secure, and you know what is sharing the network. Some websites may be slower on Safari, and an alternative browser* is needed.

Does Apple sell memory for Apple iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (21.5-inch - DDR3) Late 2009 anymore?

I have a 21.5-inch, late 2009 iMac (Apple iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo [21.5-inch - DDR3]) and I need more memory for it. Currently, I have the standard 4GB memory for it (2X2). I wanted to know if Apple makes memory for my model iMac anymore. Thanks!

Buy your ram from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com.
Apple probably still sells ram for your iMac but you'll pay twice the prince and get less for it.

IMac 24" iMac (iMac7,1), Intel Core 2 Duo 2,8 GHz Ram 4 MB running OS 10.6.8: impossible upgrade to Mac OSX Mavericks. Already created second account, according to apple online support, but still doesn't work. Thanks for help.

Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.

MacBook will not start. I have restarted with original CD. I have used Utilities and "no problem" with hard drive. I have reset PRAM. I have tried safe boot. Nothing is work. Gray screen with Apple logo and rotating wheel. Thanks for any suggestions!

Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again

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

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.

Hi, I have an old Mac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running OS 10.5.8. My iPhone now requires it to have 10.6.8 to be compatible. How do I go about getting it? Thanks

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), by calling Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775.

What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.

What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.
Would the more recents os versions increase the overall performance? Is it worth it?

Hello!
Snow Leopard is what i am currently using. But i guess it does need some clean up and maybe a clean install to see if it gets faster.
I believe 4gb is the limit for this model, although i've seen some with 6gb…
Thank you for the help

Apple iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch), how much ram?

How much RAm can i add into a Apple iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch), anyone know?

And I do not see any specifications for a White iMac with a 24" screen that is 2.33GHz.
But now I found it...
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
You have what normally would have been a 2.16GHz model but with the made to order 2.33GHz upgrade. Memory is...
1GB (2x512MB) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 3GB
officially. You have two slots, each supporting up to a 2GB RAM but officially Apple says 3Gigs is the max. Which is an odd number because normally I would expect to see something like 2Gig based on having 1G rams available at the time. However, since they spec 3GB that would imply that 2GB RAMs were around at the time, but they still specifically say the machine can only have 3GB (2GB + 1GB).
Many older systems can support more ram than their official specs due to larger RAMs being released after the support for testing new RAM was done. Apple specifically limiting you to a single 2GB RAM with the other having to be 1GB would seem to indicate there IS an issue with supporting a pair of 2GB rams.
So you can very safely go from 2GB to 3GB by replacing one of the 1Gig modules with a 2GB module. However I can't say for sure if it would work to go to 4GB or not.

IMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch) - 2 or 4 slots ?

Hi,
Crucial's memory selector tells me that I can install a maximum of 4GB of memory on my iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch). Why does the system info show me that I have 4 slots with 2 being empty (see picture below) ?
Regards.

Hi,
I found the reason why System Info is displaying 4 slots ... it's because I have 4 slots.
I have a 21,5" monitor not a 24". It is identified as an iMac10,1 model and the good news is that I can upgrade to 16Gb of memory.
That being said, I would like to upgrade, because I often find that my computer is slow. If I go to the Activity Monitor utility, iI think that my memory requires an upgrade but how much more should I put in ? See the memory display below.
Also can someone tell me if I could experience a faster computer if my processor is not used intensively, like shown below.
Regards.

You can click on the black Apple icon on the upper left hand corner wolf your screen, then click on About this Mac, and you'll see this screen:

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.
