I have a MacBook running 10.6.8    2.2Ghz  Intel core 2 duo  1 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM is there any way to upgrade my MacBook without buying a new one since funds are not availible for a new one ? Thank You -Lance

Any advice would be helpful regarding this subject.....

You can start by upgrading your RAM. An advise would be to buy it from internet, here is a good page for that: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac Along with some useful manuals for doing the upgrading yourself

  • Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro running 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

    Is it possible to install CS5 or CS5.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM MacBook Pro running 10.6 (Snow Leopard)?

    Hi Carolyn, thanks for your quick reply. First thing I did before posting my question was to check the system requirements for Creative Suite, both on Apple and Adobe's websites. But I am however confused about the difference between "Multicore Intel processor" vs "Core 2 Duo", and keep hearing stories about CS5 not working properly.

    Before posting my question I checked system/hardware requirements for Creative Suite, both on Apple and Adobe's websites. But I am however confused about the difference between "Multicore Intel processor" vs "Core 2 Duo", and keep hearing stories about CS5 not working properly in similar situations due to hardware issues.

    Hi LMDV,
    Welcome to the community!
    Multicore Intel processor also known as Dual core processor is required to run the CS5 or CS5.5, you have Core 2 Duo which is better then Dual core and sufficient to run the CS5 and CS5.5 apps. You just need to check other system requirements which is mentioned here:

  • I have a mac OS x version 10.4.11  2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo  1 GB 667  MHz DDR2 SDRAm.  Can I use Crucial 2 x 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAN to upgrade memory?

    I have a mac OS x version 10.4.11  2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo  1 GB 667  MHz DDR2 SDRAm.  Can I use Crucial 2 x 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAN to upgrade memory?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

    That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
    A stale or corrupt kernel cache
    A damaged OS X installation
    A fault in a peripheral device, if any
    Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
    An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
    An obscure bug in OS X
    You may already have ruled out some of these.
    Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place.
    Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
    If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
    Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
    In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
    Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
    If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
    In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
    Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.

  • Is there any way to install Mountain lion on my 3 1/2 year oldMacbook Pro which is running OS 10.5.8 with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM?

    When I went to the Apple Store I got a reply that I needed a more advanced OS, I believe it wanted OS 6.6.  I had tried to upgrade my OS in the past and was told the machine cannot handle it...
    Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
    I have been planning to buy a new Desktop with a 27 inch screen and an iPhone 5 when available.  It is beginning to seem that this is the time for the new computer.  I will use my iPad 2 as my travelling device.  I basically use the computers for email and some writing, nothing fancy.

    Yes, if you have access to another computer with an optical drive. You can connect the two computers via your home network and use File Sharing to transfer the installer to your HDD. You can also use:

  • Are there any ways to speed up Aperture without buying new hardware?

    I have seen on many forums people complaining about the speed of Aperture. I have an iMac 2.16Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM and Aperture is slow.
    Navigating the images is not too bad really. They show quick enough for me, but my major gripe is with the speed of adjustments (in RAW). Functions such as Straightening and Sharpening are so slow that it makes it difficult to choose the level you desire.
    For example, straightening is a fine art and because of the slowness the image jumps rather than rotating smoothly. This is extremely annoying!
    Bar spending money money on a higher spec has anyone got any tips on speeding things up a little? Would reducing the quality of the previews help?

  • Adding Memory to a White MacBook 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo (Memory 1Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM)

    Good afternoon from London.
    I want to put 2x2GB memory into my MacBook (mid 2007) but Apple support site specifies that the maximum amount of memory for this model is 2Gb. In other words, I can only add 2X1Gb.
    What would happen if I proceed?

    Thanks. They say the following, which I take to mean that I am good to go:
    MacBook2,1 (All) - Install up to 4.0GB total memory, uses up to 3.0GB.
    Note: Although limited to physically utilizing a maximum of 3GB, there is a performance
    benefit due to 128 Bit addressing when 4GB( 2GB x 2 Matched set) is installed.

    The only way to track is from Find my iPhone. Sorry. All Verizon can do is possibly block it by IMEI so others cannot use it.

  • I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory  2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory  2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
