I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, what is possible with Lion

I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo,  is that possible to operate Lion with this iMac

Here is the information about  downloading Lion when it is released in July.

If you don't meet these requirements, as of now, you wouldn't be able to run Lion.  If anything changes, I am sure Apple will let us know.

  • Imac 2Ghz Intel Core Duo to Philips Flat Screen TV

    Appears I know even less about iMAc than I thought! Learn something new everyday!!
    Hi, I have used the forums to search for info in the past and they are a great source of info.
    I am trying to look for ways to link my Imac Intel Core Duo (with OSX 10.5.8 and GB Ram + a Dvi output for video) (which is in a cupboard which I record music) to my TV (which is in a far more comfortable environment!)
    As the cupboard is next to the living room my bluetooth keyboard and mouse will be usuable on the mac but I want to see the display on the TV!
    Is this possible?
    The TV is a Philips 32PFL5522D(user manual http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/3/32pfl5522d05/32pfl5522d_05_dfueng.pdf)
    Cabling it would be OK but messy. Wireless would be perfect!
    Dont know how to do either though!
    Any hints, tips or suggestions would be gratefully received
    Cheers
    Neil

  • I have a 5 year old MBP, 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 1GB MHz, DDR2 SDRAM, running Snow Leopard, 10.6.8.

    I have a 5 year old MBP, 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 1GB MHz, DDR2 SDRAM, running Snow Leopard, 10.6.8.
    I use wireless to connect to the Internet and everything works fine when I sign on.  After being on line for awhile and my remaining battery power at about 60%, I lose connectivity.  I turn off Airport, restart it, and I am asked for my secure password.  I enter the password but cannot reconnect.  So, I shut down the computer for 5 to 10 minutes, restart, and everything works great again.
    Has anyone experienced this behavior and do you have any suggestions as to what is causing the problem.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    I think I hit the wrong key ... so here it is again!
    Thank you ...  I keep seeing this i5 and i7 processor mentioned and it is also recommeded that I stream using it. Do you have any suggestions on which MacBook would serve me better? Or is there an upgrade of any kind that will help me?
    Thanks again.

  • Adobe Air on iMac G5  Intel Core Duo 2133

    I have just tried to download an update to Adobe Air and been notified that the updates will no longer work on my iMac.
    This is the quote from their web site :
    Adobe will be discontinuing support of PowerPC-based computers and the Windows 2000 operating system for Adobe AIR and will no longer provide security updates for Adobe AIR on these operating systems.
    As I have an Intel based machine is this the PowerPC model they talk about?
    What on earth do I have to do now? Do I delete Adobe Air and make several applications useless? I am starting to get downloadable things that use the latest Adobe Air....
    Marjorie

    Your signature says: 867 MHz PowerPC G4
    Your thread title says iMac G5 Intel Core Duo 2133. There is no such thing. It is either an Intel imac or a PPC G5 iMac.
    As I have an Intel based machine is this the PowerPC model they talk about?
    Obviously, if what you quote is accurate.
    Please clarify what Mac you actually have, and what operating system you use (you quote Panther).

  • Can I upgrade to lion when i have a 2 GHz Intel core duo processor ( my computer is 6 years Old)  I have snow leopard now.

    Can I Upgrade my computer to Lion.  I have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor.  My computer is 6 years old.  Right now I have Snow Leopard.

    I have an old iMac about that age that I upgraded to Lion to test my 3rd party applications for compatibility. It upgraded quite simply. Please backup or save all your info/etc to an external CD/DVD/Hard drive, then try to run the installer. The Lion installer will analize your Mac for compatibility before it does anything, and will alert you to it's decisision. My 17" iMac is also 2 GHZ Intel core duo. Surprisingly for many of the things I use it for it works as good as my multi thousand dollar MacPro workstation. Best of luck. But Lion isn't compatible with many third party applications and drivers for printers; scanners; etc.

  • Can a MacBook Pro1,1 - 2GHz Intel Core Duo be upgraded to Lion or even Leopard?

    Is it possible to upgrade the OS from Tiger to either Lion or Leopard on a MacBookPro1,1  2GHz Intel Core Duo (2006)?  Need to upgrade Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft software...

    Here's something to consider. I see you have 1G RAM. That works well enough for Tiger 10.4. However, I think Leopard or Snow Leopard will be happier if you increase the RAM.
    Your MBP can handle up to 2G of RAM. It has two RAM slots'In your case, there would be one 512MB module in each slot. You could replace one 512MB module with a 1G module and have a total over 1.5G. That would be a big help. Or replace both. If you are in the US, RAM is not expensive (see: 2.0GB Upgrade Kit                 (1.0GB Modules x 2 Matched) for US$33), and the RAM is easily installed even by the most novice user.
    Here are the Apple Instructions for installing RAM in teh first Gen MacBook Pros:

  • HT4854 When trying to download Mountain Lion, I get the following message:  "We could not complete your purchase.  OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion requires a Core 2 Duo, .... processor."  However, my Mac lists a 2GHz Intel Core Duo as its processor.  Help?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Mountain Lion is a 64-bit operating system, and an Intel Core Duo processor is only 32-bit, so you can't use Mountain Lion on your Mac. You can keep using your actual OS X version or buy a new Mac if you want Mountain Lion

  • I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
    Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

  • 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.

  • Looking to upgrade 2 GHz Intel Core Duo system if possible

    I have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo  2 GB memory system, Bus speed 667 MHz. Running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Is there any way possible to upgrade the system? Also having trouble with viewing videos from web sites.
    Thanks

    Okay Thx, was afraid of that.
    Will I be able to transfer my backup from an external hard drive which supports old system to a newer version system?

  • Question: I want to update to the new LION OSX, but it says that I need to at least have an Intel Core 2 Duo. When I click "about this Mac," it says that I have a 2.16 Intel Core Duo. Is there a difference between the "Core 2 Duo" and the "Core Duo"?

    Well, my title basically asks the question that I am seeking an answer for. Im not sure what year my MB Pro is, and I cant exactly find it on the Apple site. Its a 2.16 Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. All I see (dating back to 2007,) is Intel Core 2 Duo on the apple site. Im pretty sure (but not 100% positive,) that my MB Pro is a late 2008/early 2009. Just trying to figure out if I can install LION OSX or not, since it requires atleast intel core 2 duo, and mine says I only have the intel core duo. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Core Duo is 32 bit processor and Core 2 Duo is 64 bit processor
    OS X Lion, will only on 64 bit Intel processor Mac's.
    The following Mac's that have 32 bit Intel “Yonah” processorsthat won't run OS X Lion.

  • Dithered Colors in iPhoto 6 on iMac 20" Intel Core Duo with 1.5GB RAM

    Hi.
    I have a 20" iMac Intel Core Duo. Shoot at 100 ISO, sRGB, with a Canon Digital Rebel XT in a studio setting. When viewing the images in iPhoto they have a noticeable dithering on the colors, especially on the seamless. Sometimes it's bad.
    If I view them full screen in Comparison mode I see it there, too. Detail is intact, but the colors dither. Doesn't happen in Photoshop CS2, and I don't remember if it happens in Preview...
    Any ideas of what is going on?

    Scott:
    Are you running the latest Quicktime version, 7.1.5? If not that may have something to do with it. Also what color profile are the files assigned? You can check that out by viewing them with Preview and using the Summary pane of the Info window there. Are you shoot RAW and importing those files? If so there may be addition issues that I can't help you with although as I understand it iPhoto creates a jpg file from the RAW file upon import and that's what you're working with.
    Make sure your monitor is set to millions. Although since CS2 doesn't show that effect I'm guessing it is set to that. But check anyway.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IMac Intel Core Duo - what software works and what doesn't???

    So I decided to start this post/topic to get feedback from everyone who uses their Intel based iMac for all different reasons and all the various sortware that people use. This includes software, games, freeware and such.
    Here's my 2 cents:
    Adobe CS2 software works fine except for Adobe Version Cue2. In other words, thus far InDesign CS2, Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS2 and ImageReady CS2 seem to work fine. Probably a bit slower than on the G5's but not noticeably different.
    Anyone else have feedback on their software that you use daily???

    Toast 7 works brilliant on my iMac Core Duo. A lot
    better than my Powerbook G4.
    EyeTV 2 is working fine on my Intel Core Duo as well.
    I'm new to Mac, and bought an eyetv (PX-TV402U for Mac) with my iMac core duo. However, it doesn't run worth a hoot, can get some channels but lots of snow in picture. I'm sure I read somewhere on Plextor's site about a software issue with new core duo, but can't find it now and can't get a responce from Plextor. You say yours is working fine, is that because you have Toast 7? I'm stumped at the moment. Got any suggestions?
