How about Onyx and Macjanitor for the Intel Core Duo chip?

Do these programs apply?

Your first post is correct Will about MacJanitor.
I wouldn't trust it, although it should just refuse to work, why take a chance when other utilities exist and offer many more features...
Anyway the Terminal commands MacJanitor runs are still the same:
sudo periodic daily
sudo periodic weekly
and
sudo periodic monthly
or the three tasks together:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
as in Jaguar, Panther and "PPC Tiger".

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).

LOGIC PRO 7.1 & the Intel Core Duo?

I'm currently running OSX 10.3.9 on a G4. I've got the student version of logic pro 7.1
I'm about to upgrade my computer and I'm thinking about the Intel Core Duo Mac. Will the Pro Logic 7.1 run on that?
I've heard there's an upgrade available for 7.1 users. Does the student version qualify if you're planning to buy a Intel Core Duo Mac?
Thanks to anyone with answers to these questions...

Thanks for your reply...
Just curious, does the name tele_player indicate your choice of guitar? I play a Strat and an Ovation 12-string. Looking forward to having an easier time with Logic when I move up to a faster Mac.
Cheers,

Is there a difference between the Intel Core 2 Duo & the Intel Core Duo?

I am looking to buy a new laptop, and I wanted to know if there is a big or major difference between the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, compared to the Intel Core Duo.
I currently have a powerbook G4 and it has a 1.67 GHz PowerPC G2 Processor, which I have noticed isn't that great, I can't download the new snow leopard software update, nor watch movies from Netflex and other stuff like that. Its pretty annoying, so that is why I was asking about the difference between the other two processors, I want to know if it doesn't matter or which one is the best before I buy.
I'm pretty computer dumb when it comes to this stuff that's why I'm asking.
Thanks in Advance.

Core 2 Duo processors are newer and more powerful (and thus faster) than Core Duos. Apple's current notebook computers all use Core 2 Duos, so if you buy new, that's what you'll get. The earliest MacBooks and MacBook Pros had Core Duos in them, but the last of those models was discontinued late in 2006.

HT1338 I have the intel core duo os 10.6.8 and the Lion app launch keeps telling me that I need core 2 duo to upgrade to Lion...???

Does anyone know why I can't update to Lion? I have the MBP with INtel core duo and OS 10.6.8, but when I try to launch the app to upgrade to Lion, it tells me that I need the CORE 2 DUO to upgrade....????? Uhhh, I have this AND I have TONS of memory.

Never mind, I see that I need a new computer, even though this one is great. Sheeeesh.

Does 2GB ram stick exist for iMac Intel Core Duo?

looking to max out my iMac on Ram (at least 2GB) as i Find it real slow with the 512MB it comes standard with.
1) Is my only option to buy 2 x 1GB or is there a 2GB stick on the market?
2) If going for the 2 x 1GB am I going to see a significant difference beyond just having the standard 512MB paired to a new 1GB?
Thanks

I bought 2 1GB sticks of Ram, installed them... ran my iMac 20 Intel core duo, then went to 1.5 GB of RAM. Honestly, I don't see the advantage of going to 2 GB. Personally save yourself the $$$ and wait about a year or 2 then upgrade. I am returning 1 stick which I paid 109 for. BTW Fry's electronics has Corsair 1 GB PC5300 sticks for 109.00 with a 20.00 rebate. Cosair if definitely a name you can trust.
Personally 1.5 GB is te magic number.
To comment on GLO's comment about pairs: There is no reason to match your memory. These iMac's do not run in dual channel mode. I contacted AppleCare and was told that there is no advantage running paired sticks of memory on the new machines.

Is it better to buy the Intel Core Duo iMac no. 1?

Here the iMacs Core Duo 1,83Ghz and Core 2 Duo 1.83 Ghz are the same price. Difference is, the Core Duo has an ATI X1600 card while the Core 2 Duo has that crappy Intel 950 integrated graphics chip. So which would be better for me to buy?
Thank you all so much.
iMac DV SE 400Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for the answer!
From my experience Macs do not need 256 MB video cards, am I right? Like, ther ATI X1600 comes in 256, 512MB for PC versions... And when my Imac with its 8MB of video memory was able to play games, I always noticed that the same game on the PC required 32 or 64 MB of dedicated video.
I know the Intel is better than the others... But since I read that all the options in World of Warcraft were greyed out using this card, it annoyed me... After all it's kind of an old game, since it runs on a G4 with 1 GHz.
Anyway I've made up my mind and decided for the first model, actually it's 500 USD cheaper and that helped me a lot in choosing it

Don't wait for the Intel Core i7 CPU!!!

Anybody contemplating a new system with the Core i7 CPU better be warned! (Jim, are you listening?).
Due to the architecture of the X58 chipset, which does not allow for separate voltages for the CPU and memory, warnings about permanent damage to the core i7 are rampant.
The core i7 can NOT handle voltages over 1.65V. However, most DDR3 memory chips require MORE than 1.65V, sometimes up to 1.80V. In that case permanent damage to the core i7 is the result. It will be fried.

>"One of the biggest concerns about Bloomfield X58 motherboards were previous reports that X58 boards will have to use the same voltage for Vcore, CPU and Vmem, the memory on the board. In previous reports, we learned that first revision of the boards had these two things Vcore and Vmem synchronous.
>We learned that motherboard manufacturers will be able to separate the CPU and memory voltages, and yes, this means that you will be able to set the voltage on your CPU independently from the one on your memory.
>This will certainly make the overclocking much easier, as you wont burn your CPU with 1.8V voltages that you might need for some ultra faster DDR3 memories. You can expect that the next Asus, MSI, Gigabyte boards, among the others, comes with separate Vmem and Vcore settings."
Seems Asus chose not to separate them for their first gen P6T, but the option is there for future revisions and other mobos.
In any event, I had no trouble finding appropriate memory for this board. Shouldn't be an issue if one is careful about matching parts.
Still, this is a good warning, as I was not aware of the problem.

How to restore IMAC 2006 2.0 intel core duo to resell?

I have an old 2006 IMAC 2.0 intel core that I want to resell as I just upgraded to a new IMAC. How do I erase the entire computer and install for new user?

Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. 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 the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

TA24901 update from mac os x 10.4.11 for macbook intel core duo

I have a Macbook that is using Mac OS x 10.4.11 and wish to update the OS. Can someone tell me how to do this and the best way?

Any Intel core 2 Duo MBP can run Snow Leopard. Order the disk from the Apple store ($19.99) and install it. After installation check for software updates. These are the Snow Leopard requirements;

If you want to install Mt. Lion, then your MBP must meet these requirements:

Finding a dial-up FAX modem for iMac Intel Core Duo

I know that Apple has its own modem with USB dongle, but I've also heard that this modem may have some peculiar problems.
How can I find (conveniently) other V.90 or V.92 FAX modems which are supported on the iMac and in OS 10.4.7 Tiger?
Anyone have any comments -- positive or negative -- about any modems -- Apple, US Robotics, Global Village, other?
Thanks
Jerry
P.S. I primarily want the modem to be able to send and receive FAXes with the iMac.

Hello,
I have always preferred US Robotics modems. But, you are going to find your options a bit limited these days.
The problem is that most manufacturers are no-longer producing drivers for the newer Mac OS versions. So, you would need to locate a modem who's driver is already integrated / built-into OS X.
Fortunately, the drivers are provided for a large number of modems out there. But, you won't necessarily get any support from their manufacturer since the drivers in OS X are provided by Apple.
That said, I would personally go with either a US Robotics modem (since that would be a very established standard and the drivers are supplied by Apple in OS X).
But, if you are not comfortable purchasing a modem that does not come with Apple drivers in the box for OS X 10.4.7, then you really should just buy the modem from Apple so that you know it is supported by the current version of OS X.
I hope this helps.
Let us know if you have other questions.

Can I upgrade the Intel Core Duo processor to an Intel Core Duo 2 processor in my 2005 I-mac 4,1

I have an I-Mac 4,1 from 2005-6 with the IntelCore Duo processor and would like to use Lion. I need Intel Core Duo2 to do so. Can my I-Mac be upgraded with a different processor to run Lion? I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Unfortunately, your reply didn't show up until this morning (the delays are becoming more than annoying) ......
Who is talking about a Mac Pro? I thought the OP was inquiring about their iMac's processor? Or are we being facetious (not that you would ever do that now, would you??).

Running Visual Studio 2005 on a Mac with Intel Core Duo chip?

My nephew has been teaching himself Visual Basic (Visual Studio 2005) for several months on an old, out-dated PC laptop. My sister, who knows nothing about computers and didn't want to ask for help (in case somebody tipped off my nephew) wanted to buy him a new laptop. She said the salesperson told her that he can install XP SP2 on the Mac and then run any Windows software application (including VS 2005). My nephew has been using the new laptop (Powerbook 15") for less than a week and absolutely loves it. But he doesn't know if he can actually keep it (because he needs to be able to run VS 2005). He asked me and I didn't know so I figured I'd ask.
Any chance he'll be able to install XP SP2, VS 2005, run it, code with it and compile with it (all part of VS 2005)? Or is he going to have to return it and just go back to a PC laptop?
Thanks for any information/advice you can give. I'm seeing him tomorrow so I'm hoping I'll have some good news for him.
OOTInAtlanta

My bad. It is one of the new one's. I believe it is a MacBook Pro. I think the MacBook itself only comes in 13"?? His is definitely 15" and she bought it brand new. I am pretty sure it is a MacBook Pro.
If it is, you think he'll be able to keep it and do a dual-boot thing (for using VS 2005)? Is there anything special he'll need to know?
Thanks again for any information you can give. It is very much appreciated.

HT201320 How about configuring Mac mail for the iPhone?

Contact your mail provider for these instructions/settings. They should have a web page showing this information.

HT4848 what recovery assistant is recommended for the intel core 2 duo 2gb macbook?

After sending a flashdrives contents to the waste basket and emptying it, for some reason the file on the desktop containing identical files lost part of its content. Can I recover either the flash drive or the contents of the folder using some recovery app/software. I downloaded stellar phoenix but its behaviour is odd and unsuccessful , possibly due me. Is there a simple program you can recommend?
Thank You.

Go with the new model. You wouldn't notice much "real-world" difference between the two processors. With the new unit, you will get a much better screen, better trackpad and stronger graphics. It's a no brainer.
