How do I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 on my iMac with Intel duo core processor
I have an iMac 24" with 2,16 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor and 2Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM running on OS X 10.5.8 to Lion?
I know I have to upgrade first to snowleopard???
If so SnowLeopard is not available in the iCentres etc.
What to do??
Brgds,
Nils
Your iMac is a Core 2 Duo not a Core Duo according to this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-24-inch-sp ecs.html
Which is good since the specifications for OSX Lion require a Core 2 Duo as minimum processor:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
The road to OSX Lion requires you to have OSX Snow Leopard before which can be bought from Apples Online Store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA but is not avaiable as a download.
After installation of OSX Snow Leopard and installation of neccessary updates to it you can then use the Mac App Store to buy OSX Lion and install it.

For OSX Lion an upgrade of your RAM to 4GB might be advisable.

Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact? Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?
The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'. The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'. Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of CPU.

How do I update my iMAC with Intel chips beyond 10.4.11 ?
From the days of the Apple 1 until the days of the first Mac I was an Apple user. Then corporate America drug me away kicking and screaming to the Windows world. Now I have bought a used iMac with Intel chips to use as an Apple Forensics test machine. However, I need to update it as far as I can go and can't seem to locate the information on the net/ Do I need to go to Amazon and get a disc?
This iMac has served to remind me just how great Apples are. Can not wait to retre!
Thank you.
MikeUpgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Upgrade to OS 10.4 with SW coming from new Mac Mini (Intel duo core)
Is it possible to upgrade my G4 PowerBook to the latest OS 10.4 and iLife06 with the SW provided and installed on new Mac Mini's with the Intel duo core? That would make purchasing a new Mac Mini a sweeter deal.
No.
The disks that come with new machines are specific to that machine.
You will need Tiger and iLife '06 if you want to upgrade your PowerBook.

I am looking to update to a new imac with intel core processor. I am still old school with a powerbook G4:)
I want to know if I am going to have to upgrade all graphic programs right away after buying new computer.
Trying to weigh ALL costs involved.
Thanks for any advice!!!Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine. OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.

HT3805 How do I restore Vault created under Snow leopard to new IMac with Maverick 10.9.2
Purchased a new IMac with OS 10.9.2
trying to restore an Aperture Vault (created by snow leopard) I get error message that Vault could not be restored because it was created by older OS.
Is there a fix for this or do I kiss my 4k pics goodbye - I hope this isn't the case.Purchased a new IMac with OS 10.9.2
trying to restore an Aperture Vault (created by snow leopard) I get error message that Vault could not be restored because it was created by older OS.
What exactly is the error message? The operating system version should not matter, when restoring from a vault. What however will matter, are the version of Aperture and the file system of the disk with the vault. Is your vault on an external drive? If yes, how is the drive formatted? If the vault is not on a drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled), move it to a disk with the correct formatting and try again.
And what version of Aperture created your vault? With SnowLeopard you probably used an older Aperture version. Then your vault needs to be upgraded to a newer Aperture version, before you can restore from it. Do you still have a version of Aperture installed, that is the same version as your vault? Was it an Aperture 3 version?
If your vault is an Aperture 3 vault, try to open it as an Aperture library instead of restoring it.
- a quick and dirty emergency measure: Try to open your vault directly on the drive where it is now without restoring it. Make a backup copy of your vault, before you try it.
Change the filename extension of your vault to ".aplibrary", this will turn the vault into an Aperture library and try to open it directly in Aperture by double clicking it.
Aperture will now try to open the vault as the current Aperture library and upgrade it.
“Aperture Vault” was created by an older version of Aperture, and cannot be restored by this version. -

How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?
My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive. I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install. I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase? I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.
There are links to trial installers on pages:
http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
Very carefully read and follow the instructions on the pages!
Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'. -
I have an Imac with the Intel Core Duo Processor. Will I be able to upgrade to the new OSX Lion?
You need a Core 2 Duo or later to use Lion. You will need to install Snow Leopard in order to access the Mac App Store to download Lion when it becomes available.

Hey guys, please help me out. I am an owner of a MacBook Pro with software 10.6.8 and I have a 2 GHz intel core duo processor, and I was wondering, if it is possible for me to upgrade to an i5 intel core processor, so I can install mavericks to my MacBook Pro.
There is no way to plug in a different processor on your older MacBook. Processors have been soldered in for quite a long time.
The only known method is to convert your MacBook to Cash (by selling it) and use the cash to buy a MacBook that better meets your needs. -
How do I upgrade from GB 5.1 to a newer version with 10.8.2 ?
I am currently running Mac OS 10.8.2, yet only have Garageband 5.1 (aka Garageband '09).
I cannot find anywhere how to upgrade to a newer version of Garageband.
I see the newest (?) seems to be Garageband 6.0.5, but when I tried to download it, it tells me "GarageBand 6.0 or later is required to install this update." and will not allow the update to continue.
I cannot find a download for version 6.0 on the apple support page. And even then, I don't know if it will tell me that I need to install an earlier version, before I attempt to update to version 6.0..... etc.
I hope my question makes sense?
I appreciate any and all responses, and appreciate your time. Thank you in advance.
Ultimately, I am trying to use my Behringer Xenyx X1204USB mixer as an interface for Garageband.... if that's even possible?
Again, thank you for any help with this. I really appreciate it.
You can reach me at: [email protected] mr.gixo at gmail dot com
Thanks.

TA23843 How much memory upgrade can I get on a late 2006 imac
Looking to purchase GB memory for late 2006 iMac. What do I get and how much will it support? I want to install OS Lion but need 2GB to do that apparently.
Here are the specs and maximum capacity for your Late 2006 iMac:
667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 3GB
I would recommend OWC or Crucial as excellent online vendors in the US.
Hope this helps -
