I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion. However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine than using Snow Leopard?
Which iMac? Which Macbook? Both have had several model
itertations, even within the framework of a Core2Duo processor.
With that said, I have an early 2009 iMac 24", with 2.66 GHz
Core2Duo with 8 gig of RAM, and in my opinion, seems to be running
smoother and faster with Lion.

Esata and older macbook pro intel core duo 2.16 GHz
Hi. I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but I can't locate a thread. To connect an external ESATA HD to my Macbook pro, is some kind of card needed, or does the laptop have an esata connector inside that can be accessed?
Thanks in advance...."I can't locate a thread." Here's a starting point.
And, yes, you need a card. There's no extra connection internally. -
I have several macs with Intel core duo 2 operating systems. All are running os x 10.6.8. Is it necessary to upgrade to Lion before upgrading to Mountain Lion when it appears this summer? Do I need to have the "base" version of 10.7 first?
This is unknown, it will be up to Apple and AFAIK they haven't announced that yet.

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?
I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.

I have a iMac and a MacBook. Do I have to buy Lion twice?
I believe so. The download is really an install app and never goes to the download older. It executes immediately. This means here is nothing to move to another computer.

HI, I have a IMac and a MacBook Pro plus my IPhone...I only receive all my mail on the IMac...the MacBook Pro only receives maybe 1 or 2 emails and the same for the IPhone...Anyone know what I can do?
ThanksThere's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport) -
I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo. Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit. Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?
Hi,
the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
Sorry

Gomtomsyetm preferencs and make sure that you HDD is selected as the start up disk. Then start up using your install disc and run disk utility and repair the drive just in case something has gotten corrupt.

Does Macbook with intel core2 duo suffer from discolor on the handrest?
I was wondering, I have a Macbook with intel core2 duo, and was wondering if it suffers from discolouration as in the previous model with just intel core duo?
Am going to have to contradict you and say no, it
hasn't been resolved. I love my Mac almost beyond
words but after 4 weeks it was showing signs of
discolouration + I intend taking it in for a chat.
What you mean is that it's supposed to have been
resolved.
I've always maintained that the chassis and plastics on the MacBook are really poorly designed. Not saying that about the electronics, which, in my opinion, is purely elegant. By saying ''poorly designed'', I'm not attacking Apple. Just that sometimes this stuff happens.
So, my solution was to go with the flow and look for options that combat it. In my case Mareware makes a decent skin that goes where your palms go.
I'm on my second skin. The first skin was white to match the MacBook plastic. However, even though my hands are generally clean, the Mareware began staining after about four months.
So, I purchased a second skin, a BLACK skin. Kinda cool. Contrasting. And it just doesn't SHOW the staining.
Anyway, I really have enjoyed using the MacBook. Don't like the case. Apple did a great job in getting the heat issue resolved. Just the case... No biggie for me.
I love this computer. -
My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?
My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS? The Apple web says must have Intel Core 2 Duo. Please advise. Not knowledgeable enough to know if not having the 2 between Core and Duo is a stopper. Appreciate any guidance.
The difference between a Core Duo and a Core 2 Duo is a show stopper when it comes to running Lion. The Core Duo is still only a 32 bit chip, but the Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit chip. You need the 64 bit chip to run Lion.

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.
LowellI 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.

Wireless N upgrade for Macbook pro Intel Core Duo (Purchased 8/2006)???
Firstly, I am a little angered that apple has not come out with any directly supported options to allow people with my macbook pro to upgrade to the new wireless N capability.
Therefore I have found a 3rd party option that is being offered by fastmac (http://fastmac.com/ncard.php) that will allow for wireless N wifi.
My only concern is if having this installed (professionally by them or by an authorized reseller, say compusa) would cause my entire applecare warranty to be voided or just the part that covers the wireless card. I could deal with having the wireless card voided as it would be under warranty by fast mac...
Macbook pro intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)Your warranty is not voided by installing the Airport card. However, any damage that may be caused by the installation of the card would not be covered under the warranty.
Secondly, the Airport Extreme card that supports 802.11n is available as an upgrade kit for Mac Pros. Some Apple dealers may be able to obtain and install the card for you in your computer. -
I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?
I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?
Skipping songs
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.
