  • I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion? to use icloud.

    Apple keep telling me I need to update to icloud but I'm not sure if Lion will work on my Mac. I've upgraded to snow leopard which seems to have knackered my .me or .mac account (whatever it's called now), so I don't seem to have any option but to upgrade to Lion if I every want to see my emails again.
    Apple say I must have a Intel Core 2 processor for Lion to work...... at least I think that's what they say.
    I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion?

    Lion System Requirements
    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.
    If you have a Core Duo model then you cannot upgrade to Lion. You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but iCloud is not available for Snow Leopard.
    Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. Look for the Model ID in the displayed information. If you have a MacBookPro 2,1 or later then you have a Core 2 Duo model and can upgrade to Lion.

  • My Mac has an intel Core Duo. Can I install Lion?

    My IMac has a 1.83 GHz intel core duo processor.  Can I install the new Lion software?

    I'm afraid not. I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro 17" 2.16 GHz.
    The Core Duo is not supported with Lion - you need Core 2 Duo or higher.
    See "Step 1 Make sure your Mac can run Lion." in link below.

    (sigh) One of the problems of being an early adaptor, I guess.
    My MBP is one of the first Intel Macs to come out in Thailand.

  • I have  a old 2006 modle macbook 15 inch the  A1150 i believe with core duo processor can change or replace that with a intel core duo 2 processor ?

    it,s a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
    memory 2 GB 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    is there some kind of way i can  upgrade that to a Intel Core Duo 2 processor
    or is it  just a batle i cant win ?

    You should be able to get a used or repaired MacBook 13/15-inch core2duo 2.0+GHz near
    $350 or so, in working condition with some kind of limited warranty or guaranty. Companies
    like macsales, wegenermedia, powerbookmedic, powermax and others offer previously
    owned Macs that are not current models. Older, to vintage or obsolete; those who some-
    times have the better deal on those also can repair most all Macs and have parts.
    The effort to swap out a logic board (and then what? the
    other parts likely won't match) isn't hardly worth the effort.
    You may be able to find an early MacBook (circa 2006 to 2010 era) that needs minor work,
    and troubleshoot/repair it with a DIY guide online... But that can be a gamble if you mess
    up things that were not wrong in the first place, while learning on the job. It could cost plenty.
    Some companies can sell you used parts, no guarantees on matching an incorrect logic
    board with a diffferent build model spec computer's other original configuration. You'd do
    better if you found someone selling their old MacBook Core2Duo, nearby, & could see it run.
    I have a MacBook 13-inch coreduo 1.83GHz first-edition; an early core2duo won't do much
    more than the coreduo. Snow Leopard is better than Lion in several ways; if you have older
    software you already own that works, from the PowerPC era -- that can save you money.
    Good luck in any event, & happy computing!

  • System Preferences Freezes Constantly!!! (32-bit Core Duo Processor)

    Here is my problem:
    Almost every other time I try to open System Preferences it freezes. I have to Force Quit and restart it. After this, it works.
    I suspect that the problem relates to an installed preference pane. If I had a 64-bit processor, I would force System Preferences to always load as 32-bit, however I don't have the option.
    Basically, this problem is driving me nuts. Please advise.

    Enderend:
    Have your tried going to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systempreferences.plist and dragging the .plist to the Desktop then rebooting the computer? See how that affects the issue you have been experiencing.

  • My iMac has an Intel Core Duo processor, what can be done to upgrade to Lion?

    my IMac has an Intel Core Duo processor.  What can be done it to allow me to upgrade to Lion?

    Got 2GB of RAM and 7GB of disk space as well?
    Got current BACKUPs in case something goes horribly wrong?
    If so, upgrade/update to 10.6.6 or later and The App Store icon appears. For US$29.99, you can download Lion.
    If you fear you will need a DVD of it, you must make one after downloading and BEFORE you install, as the image is consumed during the Install, and not available afterward.

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • My early (white plastic) 2006 imac freezes.  I'm running Snow Leopard and have formatted and reinstalled the software 3 or 4 times.   Model Name:     iMac   Model Identifier:     iMac4,1   Processor Name:     Intel Core Duo   Processor Speed:     2 GHz  

    My early (white plastic) 2006 imac freezes.  I'm running Snow Leopard and have formatted and reinstalled the software 3 or 4 times.   Model Name:          iMac

    Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze.  Please help.

    If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.
