HT3696 Can I install Windows 8 on my Mac Intel Core Duo?

Bonsoir,
I'm trying to download and install Parallels Desktop, am I wasting my time?
Does it mean there is no point in buying Parallels Desk?
Thanks for your help.
Monique

I doubt it's possible. But see:
Installing Windows 8 (dev preview) - on a 2011 MacBook Air (bootcamp)
And do some Google searching.

Why can't install adobe illustrator on macbook intel core duo?

I just bought the Macbook intel core duo, specifically so I could use Adobe Illustrator. I installed adobe CS2 and every program installed EXCEPT FOR ILLUSTRATOR! Tech support says Apple and Adobe are working on the problem. Can anyone help me?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I've installed CS2 standard on about ten Intel-based Macs and and CS2 Premium on three Intel-based Macs at work. I haven't encountered any issues. No MacBooks at work though, just Mac minis, MacBook Pros and Mac Pro towers (which don't have the Core Duo chips).
After reading your message here, I made a quick search of the Adobe support forums and couldn't find any messages there about anyone having a problem installing Illustrator CS2 on a Core Duo Mac of any kind.
Our Intel-based Macs are all up-to-date with Mac OS X 10.4.8 and all the extras like QuckTime 7.1.3. Which "tech support" did you contact? Apple or Adobe? If Adobe is aware of the issue and is working on a solution, I'm afraid there isn't much we could do to help you here.

I was wondering can i install windows on my mac when i have downloaded windows form the internet and do not have a C.D.??

I was wondering can i install windows on my mac when i have downloaded windows form the internet and do not have a C.D.??
Because when i get to the part in Boot Camp Assistant that says Start Windows Installation it says u need a disc... is there no other way??

Get the physical copy (disk) this will enable you to reinstall when (not if ) it messes up.
Make sure to purchase acopy that is compatible with your OSX

Can I run Lion on on a Intel Core Duo computer?

Can I run Lion on on a Intel Core Duo computer?
I have on of the Intel Core Duo macbook.
I hope on othe apple people can answer that for me.

This is my Macbook and I seem to be able to run a depleted Lion operating system on it
no full screen on some applications. no response to multi swipe actions, No Air Drop. and so on and so on. Also when it loaded it stalled with no real information and i had to go to reload Lion which then instigated further download of 6 minutes to load a slightly amended copy of Lion. thought i had lost all my info but it did all reappear
It does have Launchpad and Mission Control but i seem to have lost my Isight camera in Photo booth and Skype. this has happened occasionaly before and a reboot brings it back for a while.
Ah well Is it time to up grade the laptop?? Do i need a laptop?? Anyway ill keep this one for a bit and see how it goes at least some of the changes work.

HT1544 Can I install snow leopard in a Intel Core i5 dual core, 2.5 GHz Mac mini?

I whant to install Snow leopard in a Intel Core i5 dual core de 2.5 GHz Mac Mini, is there any problem to do it?

Not in Minis after 2010.

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!

I have an older MBP that I purchased in 2006. I'd like to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Can this machine take that OS? Intel Core Duo running 10.6.8

The issue is, I teach photography and just downloaded Lightroom 4.
Well, LR4 won't run on the older OS. So, before I try to download Mountain Lion, I need to know if it will work on this computer or is it simply too old.
Thanks

OS X Lion and Mountain Lion are 64-bit operating systems, and the Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so you can't use Lion and Mountain Lion on your computer. Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the most recent version for your computer.
As I can see, you are running Mac OS X Leopard, so buy Snow Leopard. Then, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade OS X. When the upgrade finishes, open  > Software Update to update to the most recent version, so you will be using 10.6.8

HT3986 Can I install Windows 7 on Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion?

I have Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain lion and i need to install windows 7 in my mac...
Please help me!

Yes, you can install Windows 7 on Mountain Lion.
You have two options:
1- Run Windows 7 through a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMWare.
2- Dual boot your Mac through bootcamp.
In any case, you will need a valid and original Windows 7 installer DVD (or image).
Since you asked under bootcamp, I will give some details about is below.
First, as suggested in bootcamp, I would suggest you to take a backup just in case. To install Windows, you have to change the partioning of your harddrive from GUID (default apple) to Master Boot Record and though it should be seamless, there can be problems occasionally.
Bootcamp is located under /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app. Make ready your Windows 7 installation disk (either insert the disc to your DVD drive or mount the image) and run Boot Camp Assistant. Follow the instructions, they should be pretty easy to follow. At some point you will have to change the partitioning of your hard drive and create another partition for Windows. Notice that if your hard drive has too much fragmentation, you might not be able to create a new partition without either running a defragmenter first or reformatting the hard drive. However, I do not want to overkill you with information, so first try to follow Boot Camp assistant and let me know if you are stuck at a particular stage.
Good luck!

Can I install Windows on my Mac without Boot Camp Assistant?

I was wondering if this was possible, or does Boot Camp Assistant format the hard drive in such a way that makes it possible for Windows to be installed, or can I just create a new partition myself and format it and install Windows without having to touch Boot Camp Assistant?

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Can I install Windows XP on Mac mini 2011?

I managed to install Windows XP by other means, but......
Where are the drivers??

Would almost just run the intel chipset identifier from the site if XP is needed. Apparently there are a few chipsets for the Sandy Bridge configuration in this processor. If you ambitious and google alot you can probably break the hardware down to specific drivers. For example:
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelhdgraphics3000_2000/sb/CS-032057.htm
Has the GPU driver and:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=861&DwnldID=18498& ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+C hipset+Identification+Utility&lang=eng
Should assist in identifying and applying the chipset drivers. Although this is all user beware, as I have not done it with this particular mini. So expect alot of time to be put in and alot of trial and error (and possibly won't work). May try this on the weekend and will post results if I get the time.

Can i install windows on a mac book air?, if i can, do you recomend it?

I want to buy a new macbook air but i need to use windows, but i dont know if i can install it on a macbook air and if i can install it, is it fast? Do you recomend it?

You can but if it's on a disc you would need a way to get it to your MacBook Air such as a USB Superdrive.
For the recomendation I can't really say but if you use programs that only work/work better on Windows then sure. All the Macs I put Windows on worked fine but you should consider the 8GB of RAM upgrade for the MacBook if you plan to run both at once.

Can I install windows on a Mac Mini using a disk copy of my Dell laptop

I am just aquiring a late 2012 Mac mini to replace my aging Dell laptop.
My copy of Windows 7 is an U/G copy from Vista, however my Vista copy is an OEM version
and so will only install on the Dell.
Can I make a disk copy of the Dell HDD and install on the Mac as though I am installing onto a new Windows HD?
Any help will be much appreciated as though I have a Mac Book I'm not a Mac expert by any means

I doubt it. How did you plan to install it?
Using bootcamp?
A virtual machine like VirtualBox?
Those install using a ISO or DVD

Three choices
Boot Camp. Parallels or Crossover
Boot Camp
http://www.apple.com/bootcamp/
Parallels
http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/
Note both of these choices require a full copy of Windows.
If all you need to run is a single Windows application now and again then I would recommend Crossover from Codeweavers, which allows you to run Windows applications on OS X without needing Windows itself.

Can't force iMovie HD 6 on Intel Core Duo iMac into Rosetta from get info.

I can't get it to force imovie hd 6 into rosetta mode from get info. (doesn't show words and check box "force Rosetta" like other programs. If it can't, how can i get chromakey on imovie?

Last night, I was trying to do this as well. I was attemping to get plugins that worked with iMovie5 and clicking the Rosetta option was supposed to be work-around. I am guessing it no longer works with the latest versions of the Intel systems or iMovie.
