I have a 2.16 Ghz intel core 2 duo macbook pro

Im trying to purchase Imovie but was unable to due to insufficient memory so I bought more gigs. Now i try to buy it and it says that my video card does not meet the requirements..  what are the requirements and what do i do

Probably, but 2 GB is a paltry amount, and its maximum 3 GB is not much more.

  • I have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro that has lion installed when I recieved it, according to the support pages AHT is supposed to work over the internet if it wasn't installed, Mine wasn't and it doesn't work. Where can I download it from?

    I Have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro, I recieved it with OSx 7.2 lion installed, I need to us AHT (apple hardware test) according to the support page that I copy here
    Additional Information
    Apple Hardware Test is included on the DVDs that are shipped with some Macintosh computers. If the copy on your hard drive becomes unavailable, use the DVDs to run Apple Hardware Test.
    For Intel-based Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.4  or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1  and should be included with your computer.
    For Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install  Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
    For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead.
    This doesn't work as the additional information statement says it should above.  Could someone at apple give me an idea of where to get it or what the "REAL" solution is, since it doesn't work on an internet version which was confirmed today at the Genius Bar in the Apple store.
    Please help me

    Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
    Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
    And how long did you hold it down?
    I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
    If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

  • Is installation on 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (MacBook Pro)really not possible and why?

    I would like to buy OS X Lion and install it on my MacBook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, but this processor is not in the list of the specifications (Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 or Xeon processor).
    Is it really true that I can't install Lion on my Mac? If so, what is the reason?

    It has to be a Core 2 Duo. Those are the requirements for Lion.
    Requires a newer Mac.
    Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM.

  • 2 ghz intel core i7 macbook pro 10.7.2 and itunes 10.5.1

    Hello,
    I have a 2 ghz intel core i7 macbook pro using 10.7.2 and and I recently updated to the current version of itunes.  Opening itunes, causes the entire machine to lock up.  There is another thread that I was able to find describing similiar issues with the Macbook Air but I didn't see anything about the i7 macbooks.  Is anyone else experiencing this or know of a work around?
    Thanks.
    I just wanted to update this.
    There were apparently multiple firmware updates that were available (or a new one was posted since yesterday afternoon).  Installing this one (4.2?) returned everything to normal.

  • I have a new 2.0GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro and my external firewire drive is causing the laptop to lock up

    I have a new 2.0GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro and my external firewire drive is causing the computer to lock up. The drive seems to sleep and then never wakes and the laptop locks up. I've had this drive connected to an older 2.0 core duo macbook pro and a 3.0GHz quad core macpro with no issues. It's a ministack v3 drive, 2GBs, fw400+800, sata and usb. Any ideas? And can I stop the drive from going to sleep?
    Thanks.

    Check with the drive's manufacturer to see if they might have a firmware update for the enclosure; it sounds like the enclosure's firmware isn't properly detecting the FireWire wakeup sequence.
    Obviously this could also be a bug with the new MBP's firmware, so it wouldn't hurt to ask the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store; in particular, ask them to show you that the sleep/wakeup sequence on your MBP works with some other FireWire drive.

  • Is there an E-SATA connect on my 2.16  Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro?

    MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel Core Duo 15"
    I've suddenly got to work with an E-SATA setup. I'm using the USB port right now ... but have been told the E-SATA would run smoother, faster. ??? This is to edit a film on the fly. I've been given the data on a naked drive plugged into a black box that gives me either USB or E-SATA.
    All ears,
    Ben

    Any SATA 3.5" drive will connect to you PowerMac G5 or Mac Pro.
    SATA 2.5" drives either need a PCI-SATA card or a Firewire SATA case to connect to a PowerMac G5 or Mac Pro.
    Mind you a drive formatted on a MacBook Pro will not boot a PowerMac G5, but might boot some Mac Pros if the Mac Pro is able to run the said operating system. See this article on which operating systems each Mac can run:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    Usually though, moving drives from one machine to the next simply makes user data transfer quicker, and is not a way to migrate applications or operating systems. This can get real sticky going between PowerPC and Intel Macs as this migration tip explains:

  • Can I upgrade to Lion on my 2 GZ Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro?

    I am running Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro and cant seem to figure out how to upgrade to Lion.  Mountain Lion is not compatible with this machine, but maybe Lion is?  How to do this?

    You need 2 GB RAM at least, but 4 GB is a better working amount.  You can buy more RAM at macsales.com and crucial.com for proces you will like, and can find instructions for replacing it.
    Read this for application that do not work under Lion:  http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Make a *very* good backup before upgrading.  I suggest a clone with CarbonCopyClone ($40 download).  This will make a "bootable" backup that can be used to reload SL in case of failure during upgrade.
    There is also SuperDuper, but at last report it does not clone the "Recovery Partition" of Lion that CCC will backup.  Buying a clone package that work with Lion for future backups is a good idea.
    You can call 1-800-676-2775 to buy a download code to use in MacAppStore.
    But read the compatibility list first to see if you will lose apps.  If you do, you can always keep an external disk with SL on it OR load Lion on a separate partition in your internal drive and choose which one to boot.

  • Using new battery on old 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo

    I am in a remote location, under a deadling.  My 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro battery cable finally went south.  I'm in a studio with half a dozen brand new battery units ... for 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro's.
    Can I use the battery from a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro on my older 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo???
    All ears,
    Ben

    As I wrote above, there is no possibility of using one of the new batteries in your old machine: it absolutely won't fit. Furthermore, removing the battery from one of the new machines will void the warranty on that machine, so even if you could contrive a wiring harness to connect one of the new batteries externally to your MBP, there would be good reason not to do it.
    And if you did, there is no way to predict how the charging system in your machine would respond to the incorrect battery. Would it be charged at all? Would it be charged only to the capacity of the battery specified for use in your computer, which is far lower than the capacity of the new battery? Would the SMC in your machine recognize the battery and distribute the power from it correctly? The answers to these and many other related questions are anybody's guess.
    So the solution to your immediate problem will be to move your work onto one of the newer computers, finish it up by the deadline, and order a new battery for your own computer.

  • I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

    I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

    From what I read here:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
    s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need  the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
    But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM,  which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
    Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
    The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
    Good Luck
