I have an IMac4,1 Intel Duo 1.83 GHz 667 MHz (Bus.) purchased in February 2006. Can I upgrade my memory with 4GB (2x2GB) 200-Pin DDR2
SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop memory?

That memory specification is correct, but the maximum memory configuration for your iMac is 2 GB.

  • I have a imac intel core duo 2.0 ghz, 20" That will not start up...HELP

    My iMac will not startup, I have tried everything, reset PRAM, attempt to boot into SAFE mode, I am unable to do so. I am currently booted up hard drive to mount.

    Im having same problem and I have exhausted my knowledge of how to fix.
    I can see the device is system profiler. Nothing comes up in Audio/Midi Set up though.
    Garageband doesnt detect anything until I activate a network session then garageband says there is a midi input but I still get no sound whatsoever.

    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.

    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).

  • Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz

    Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
    I am using os x 10.4.11.
    Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
    Thanks...

    Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • I have a macbook air with osx 10.6.8 and it has a 1.4 GHz intel core duo processor and 2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. I want to use icloud but am afraid buying the version of osx that is required will bog my computer speed down, or change the user inerface. I

    I am not computer savy and like my macbook air because as a college student, and father that is very busy, I don't have to learn to re-use it every month after it crashes from a virus. Am I able to load the new version of osx that icloud requires onto this computer without changing it substantially or slowing it down?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • Intel Core Duo 2.26 GHz Core Running At 100 Degrees Centigrade

    Forgive me if this is in the wrong section.
    I purchased a 13" MacBook Pro back in April. I've suddenly noticed that the CPU is getting entirely hot. I mean really hot, to the point where this thing might burst in flames.
    Often, I have over 50% of CPU availability, so I know it's not the CPU working "too" hard. I have installed an app which has measured the core temperature at 100 degrees centigrade. I know this can't be normal.
    I'm coping right now thanks to an application called smcFanControl (which is bringing fan speeds to 4000rpm), but if I'm out and about I cannot have this fan running that fast or I'll be out of battery in less than an hour.
    Any thoughts, suggestions?

    Computers run hot when they are doing work.
    Your computer has a series of temp sensors that will shut it off when it exceeds the maximum operating temperature, this is called an overtemp. 100 degrees C is hot, but without the use of SMCfancontrol do your fans kick up automatically?
    Oh, and 100 degrees is not going to cause your computer to burst into flames, I promise.
    In Activity Monitor, what apps are taking up CPU power? Sometimes you can have a software problem causing some process to go nuts and it isn't at all hardware related.
    Other times, your SMC settings (system management controller -- chip on your logic board that controls power, fan speed, and many other things) can become corrupt in which case your fans may not spin up as needed.
    You can reset your SMC and retest, see if that helps. If it is a MBP with an integrated battery, do the following:
    Power off the computer, plug in to wall power.
    Press Shift + Control + Option + Power Button, for a second or two and release them all at once. If your battery wasn't fully charged, you'll see the magsafe light go from orange to green and back to orange. Then power back up and retest.

  • 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'm running OS10.6.8 on an "old" Macbook Pro with Intel Core Duo 32. My work computer is down and I need to use Photoshop and cannot find a version that will run on here! It lets me use Illustrator 10, Indesign CS6, but Photoshop 4, 5, 5.5 and I can't get

    Please help.

    Your macbook pro has a 32 bit processor and not a 64 bit processor?
    If so, i believe photoshop cs5 is the newest photoshop version that will work on your Macbook Pro.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    You can get a 30 day trial trial version of photoshop cs5 from here:

    Also, photoshop cs through cs4 should work as well, but cs3, cs4 and cs5 will run better since cs and cs2 require Rosetta and can be kinda slow at times.

  • My iMac A1173 intel core duo 1.83 GHz is beyond sluggish

    Everything I try to do with my iMac seems to be taking forever (no really, it's slow)
    I checked out what I could with the system profiler and it says everything is good to go... albeit, it took an hour just to go through the list. Safari takes forever to upload a page (for example, I'm working from my macBook Pro now 'cause typing this on the iMac was just too painful. The little blue dot in the dock no longer shows when an application is open... I bought this computer in August of 2006... don't tell me it's time for a new one... Can someone show me the steps to take to see what the problem is?
    Thanks

    Just downloaded the java update... things seem better now... anyone know if the two are related?

  • I have an old imac 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, can I upgrade to Mountain X lion?

    I have an old imac 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, that still runs on OS X 10.4.11, can I upgrade to Mountain X lion? Is my Iphone with Ios6 will work on it?

    1. No.
    2. Yes. Phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, install it, and run Software Update.

  • Quark 6.5 crashes when opening existing files on iMac Intel Core Duo

    I just switched from a G4 titanium laptop to an Intel iMac and Quark works fine except when I try to open a file that I created on the laptop (same Quark 6.5). It crashes. I talked to Quark and they said that I need to open the files on a PC and resave (I don't have a PC or a friend with a PC and Quark not that I'd send them all my files even if I did). I've tried resaving and renaming files with no luck. I tried reinstalling both the operating system and Quark (both 6 and 6.5) with no luck. Has anybody else had this problem and found a work around? I want to sell my laptop but I can't until I know I can access the hundreds of client files I have there.
    iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Sorry I have no real experience with this, just a thought. Did you use migration assistant to move the old files over from your G4 to your Intel? And did you then perform a "Repair Disk Permissions" upon the entire hard drive from within Disk Utility's "First Aid" panel? (located at Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility)
    If the file move still is causing you a problem afterwards, you could try and work around it by moving the files in a different way. As a test, create a small file on the G4 and then email it to yourself from the G4. Receive that message into the Intel and see if the Intel can then open the file from inside Mail. This might avoid any "bias" created during the move from old to new Mac.

  • I'M MAD! Majority of games/apps require 2 GHz Intel Core Duo...D:

    So to start off, I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8
         Processor 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
             Memory     2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    What I want:
         To be able to play games/apps
    "Why can't you?"
         Because they require 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
    So my question is:
         IS THERE A WAY I CAN UPGRADE TO A 2 GHz INTEL CORE DUO???
         ...it makes me frustrated that I have the required OS version yet I still can't play games or use simple apps because of my stupid processor...
    What I've already tried (so don't suggest this):
    Wine (so that I can open windows required games)
    Updating all my software
    Getting rid of unwanted files
    Downloading X11 (to run Wine)
    Watched tons of tutorials on downloading desired games/apps correctly
    EVEN BUYING A NEW COMPUTER (this one)
    Repeating the above tactics on my new computer
         What. must. I. Do. Please tell me !!

  • IMac Intel Core Duo: Which Install DVD disks should I be looking for?

    I have an iMac Intel Core Duo (2 Ghz, 20") model. This was sent to me from Apple as a replacement for my iMac G5 when it had problems a couple years ago. I just realized today that they did not send me OS install disks for it; I still have the iMac G5 install disks though.
    What iMac install disks should be looking for to purchase? Are they specific to an Intel Core Duo? Would any iMac Intel installation disk work?
    Thanks in advance.

    You may be able to contact Apple and have them provide a replacement set for a nominal fee.
    If it's the Core Duo white iMac from +early 2006+, it came with Tiger (10.4). Therefore, you can get install Leopard or the current Snow Leopard on it. You just need the standard retail disc.
    Would any iMac Intel installation disk work?
    Usually, installation discs that come with Macs (the grey ones) only work with that specific Mac model. A retail disc (the ones that are sold separately) will work with any supported Mac model.
    There is another difference. The disc that is included with Macs also have additional bundled apps, such as the iLife suite. The original included disc for your iMac would have iLife '06, which is two versions old, so it may not be that much of a benefit today (iLife '09 is the current version).

  • Will increasing the memory from 4Gb to 8Gb make a big difference to the speed of my Intel Core Duo 2 Mac mini?

    Will increasing the memory from 4Gb to 8Gb make a big difference to the speed of my Intel Core Duo 2 Mac mini?

    Well, technically no, CPU will remain the same speed. But having 8 gig will give you some room for memory hungry apps and run better with multiple apps.
    Adding a SSD drive will give a second life to your macmini. I did mine a few weeks ago (240 gb SSD ) and also went from 2 to 4 gig ram. It's like having a new computer!
    Good luck!

  • My new iMac 27 i7 quad core (early 2011) is slower than the iMac 21 core duo  3,06 ghz (late 2009).

    hello i've just bouth my new imac 27" ( spring 2011) with  quad core i7 3,4ghz  4gb ram and 2gb ati radeon graphics..
    I've proceded with the migration assistent and just copied my old configurations, programs and datas from the old one ( imac late 2009 27" 8gb ram intel core duo 3,06 ghz, 256mb ati radeon graphics) to the new one...now they are twins with boot lion 10,7,2..what i've just discovered? that the old one is a litttle faster than the new one.
    photoshop is opening faster
    and more or less all the adobe suite..
    is that a joke? how is that possible? i can think that the  issue is all about the RAM (4gb new imac, 8gb old imac)..
    could someone help me please?
    thankyou.

    As far as I am aware iMacs do not have upgradeable CPUs.
