Imac intel 2ghz intel core 2duo 1gig ram

Hey everyone, my friend's imac has been acting up. he recently purchased Leopard, installed it and everything had been running well up until a few days ago when the imac seemed to be lagging. everything was taking an unusually long time to open. The imac had also heated up to the point that a fan had gone off on the lower left side of the imac at very high speed and noise level that I've never come across. Could this be related to possibly bad ram? or does he need to increase (max) his RAM? This has never happened before!

Hello,
Check to see how much free drive space there is. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on the Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
No Mac should make such levels of noise such as you are describing.
One can check RAM here: Memtest for Mac

  • Gestetner Aficio CS225 on iMac Intel 2Ghz Dual Core, OSX 10.4.10

    Could anyone help me to setup this multifunction printer on a new iMac Intel?
    I've downloaded from Gestetner site the latest ppd (y. 2002, vers. 1.1), and put it into Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/REsources/en.lproj but when trying to add a new printer in Print Center I can't match the right ppd, only a generic postscript printer. But this generic ppd doesn't dupport A3 paper format.
    Could anybody suggest a solution?
    Thank you in advance.

    Welcome To  Discussions silvia2k!
    I'm not at all familiar with that printer, but here are some observations.
    "...(ppd (y. 2002, vers. 1.1),..."
    On the Gestetner Driver Download Page, under Color Multifunctional, there are two versions listed for the C5225, v1.0 & v1.1, both with dates of 1999.
    But if you notice, no matter which you choose, you can only get a download for v1.0.
    The URL/Links listed below, are different, but they both lead to v1.0, when you select Mac OS X.
    v1.0
    v1.1
    "... put it into Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/REsources/en.lproj..."
    But whichever one you need, I think you must install it.
    Quoted from that website:
    "PPD Installer
    This PPD installer is used to install a PPD (Postscript Printer Description) file on Mac OSX. PPD files contain descriptions of printer capabilities such as paper sizes, number of input trays and duplexing. Once the PPD file is installed on the system using the PPD installer, the PS driver that comes bundled with Mac OS X can use the information in the PPD to control the print device and enable full functionality. Please see the Readme file for information about compatability with versions of Mac OS X."

  • Maximum RAM for Mid-2010 iMac 3.2GHz w/ Core i3 Processor?

    I am looking to upgrade the RAM on my iMac. This is the first time I've ever done so and the reason for it is that I'm finally starting to experience some noticeable lag while playing games. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means but I feel as though the kinds of games I play shouldn't be struggling so much to run. Some examples of games I've played that have had trouble include Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Left 4 Dead. These games came out a few years ago so it's not like I'm pushing the limits of my machine here! I've done quite a bit of research online but I've come across some conflicting reports on the maximum amount of RAM I can install.
    Apple's support files state that the computer can hold up to 16GB of RAM, but then go on to state that this would be equivalent to a 4GB SO-DIMM in each slot. Is that because there are four total slots in my iMac? (See... I told you I'm new at this!)
    At the same time, I've also read that it is possible to install up to 32GB of RAM in this particular model of iMac. Is this actually true?
    Whichever the case may be... can anyone recommend some good, quality, dependable brands of RAM? Because in doing my research I've read a few horror stories about faulty RAM (and no... I'm not planning on shopping on eBay so don't worry!).
    My final question is this: Is upping my RAM actually worth it? As in, will it help my games run smoother and/or better? I ask because I've also wondered if the video card might be the bigger problem (which I hope it's not because I have no idea if it's even possible to replace that).
    Sorry for being so long-winded but I just really want to make sure I do this right and don't waste my money. Thank you in advance for any help! =)

    Your computer has 4 slots. When Apple shipped the computer the largest DIMM shipping was 4GB so Apple advertises 16GB as the max. According to OWC that remains the maximum for your computer, only the i5 and i7 models can be upgrade to 32GB. At this time 16GB should be plenty for most people.
    There are a number of things that have an impact on speed and, of course, one of them is RAM. When your computer first came out the operating system you were using was less RAM hungry. It seems that each new upgrade (or every other OS upgrade) ups the RAM ante. Other things that have an impact are the utilities and programs you run behind the scenes. They can burn up lots of CPU cycles and RAM. Hard drive space is another factor - the operating system and programs need room for temporary files and when this room isn't available the computer slows down. So, are you running anything like anti-malware? Dump it, not needed. Do you have about 25GB of free drive space? If not, free some up.
    Quality RAM - not only what you buy but who you buy it from is important. I go with Crucial or OWC.

  • 3.2GHz Quad-Core Arrives - Very Happy

    I wanted to follow-up on an earlier post about ordering the new 3.2GHz MacPro to replace my "older" 3.GHz Dual-Core MacPro.
    I want to thank everyone here who provided me with their best advice when it came to adding additional RAM and transferring over my data.
    I placed the order online on Monday, Februrary 19th. It was CTO'ed by the addition of a 1Gig hard drive, the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics card and the Airport Extreme Wi-Fi card. Expected delivery was March 3rd. Soon after I ordered 6Gig of paired RAM from Transintl.com (as 2X1G modules) and figured the RAM would arrive before the machine.
    The machine and the RAM arrived Thursday, February 21, just two days after the order. Both orders were for 7-10day ground delivery. Nice surprise, huh?
    I pulled the side panel myself and adding the 6G of RAM to the 2G that came with the machine. I swapped the 1TB hard drive out of slot 1 with the older machine and moved over the other three TB hard drives from the old machine into the new machine's empty slots. I inserted the power cord and moved the USB and FireWire connections from the old machine over to the new machine, turned it on and it worked beautifully.
    The only updates I had to make were to re-connect my wireless Mighty Mouse and mini-aluminum keyboard and restart (turn off/turn on) my Comcast broadband connection.
    All 8G of RAM is recognized and the machine purrs nicely. The two new SuperDrives (Optiarcs) work very well and seem faster then my noiser Pioneer SuperDirves in the old machine. I never had a problem with machine noise but can say that this machine (maybe because it is new?) is so quiet I have to look down to the CPU to make sure the little green light is on.
    The new graphics card is very very nice. It is supporting two 30" Apple HD Cinema displays and unlike the previos ATI X1900 graphics card on the old machine, there are no distortions or black lines across any of the applications or the screens themselves.
    The machine is noticeably faster and smoother under Leopard 10.5.2 and I am very happy with it.
    Lisa

    Thats interesting that you got Optiarcs for optical drives...i just received my new MacPro as well, and my 2 optical drives are Pioneer DVR-112D's. Do you mind doublechecking to make sure yours are Optiarcs?
    Just for the record, I ordered my machine brand new, just delivered 2 days ago. Its a 3.2GHz 8-core with 16GB RAM, 4x1TB hard drives, 8800GT, MacPro RAID card, Airport Extreme, etc. I wonder if they are really using different optical drives for the same generation of MacPro.

  • Does FaceTime works with an iMac 2006 ? (intel 2Ghz Core 2 Duo with 3GB ram ?

    I have an IMac 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB ram.  I have an Apple ID that is working properly for many years.  When I want to activate FaceTime, it gives me an error of ID.  I have checked my ID in iTune and it is fine.  What should I do ?
    My OS is Lion 10.7.1.

    It is sometimes very peculiar to observe the side effects of some systems settings, but this would be an odd 'fix' if it were to work. Aside from anything else, the energy saver settings impact the system only when it's running since they are integral to MacOS. It's difficult to imagine how these could affect the cold-booting of the machine - though it isn't impossible of course, in as far as changing the energy saving settings might impact on parameter RAM.
    However, even if it were to actually resolve this, you would need to switch back to the prior settings to make sure it remained 'fixed', since you hardly want a Mac that limits your choice of any settings that should be available to you.
    And while I think, it may actually be worth resetting PRAM as follows:
    -Shut down the computer.
    -Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in the next step but one.
    -Turn on the computer.
    -Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    -Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    -Release the keys.

  • Slow boot up on - Intel 2GHz iMac Core Duo 1.5GB Ram

    Hi,
    I have just bought a 27" iMac (FANTASTIC!) and decided to give my old one to my girlfriend. My old one is a 2GHz Intel 20" iMac with 250GB HDD and 1.5GB Ram. It was working fine before I decided to clean it down and give it her.
    I have just installed Snow Leopard (a fresh erase and install in order to clean everything from my old machine) and it is now taking a very long time for it to boot up. I get the grey Apple screen and then it moves on to a blank blue screen and stays that way for an age - about 5 minutes. Eventually it does boot up and it works fine once it has. The machine has a clean install of Snow Leopard and I have used Disk Utility to Verify and Repair permissions. I have deleted /Library/Preferences too and nothing seems to make it any quicker.
    Any ideas please? I am rather at a loss! She is beginning to doubt me that Mac's are better!!
    Thanks
    Mark

    I made note of the possible fix below. I have never tried the fix. I can't take any responsibility if you try the fix and things get worse in any way. Here is what was posted elsewhere, paraphrased, in regard to slow start up and shut down.
    Ownership of my root directory (/) wasn't assigned to the root account for some reason, but to the administrator. This scenario made the kernel prelinking fail since it requires that root is the owner. To fix, launch Terminal and type the following commands exactly as below:
    sudo chown root:admin /
    sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
    sudo kextcache -system-caches
    You'll have to enter your password after the first command.
    V.K. is likely to see this post. You may want to see what he has to say about the possible fix.

    I think that the key here is going from a 32 bit to 64 bit computer operating system where Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 can become 64 bit application in a Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit computer operating system. The increased computer resources implication of that should increase the frequency of getting the larger project taken to a successful complete more than before. A lot of this has to do with multitasking potential.
    Premiere Elements does not support CUDA as seen in high end video cards/graphics cards. Since Premiere Elements 9, Premiere Elements has no GPU accelerated effects. But, I would decide on the best card for you based on overall computer rather than just for use in Premiere Elements. If you are interested in computer games, that will impact your card decision.
    The use of a non super NVIDIA or ATI card should work for you. But, I have used neither.
    I would consider more installed RAM, depending on your computer motherboard slots.
    You might want to discuss the choice of the card with NVIDIA.

    I suspect that
    My desktop and laptop computer both use the integrated Intel HD Graphics where my strengths included installed RAM, free hard drive space, and computer processor.
    Please consider. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Is there a way to update a Mac OS X v10.4.11 with processor of 2GHz Intel Core 2Duo and memory of 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM into v10.9.4?Thanks

    Is there a way to update a Mac OS X v10.4.11 with processor of 2GHz Intel Core 2Duo and memory of 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM into v10.9.4?Thanks

    You do realise that you can add Ram, if that is all that is holding you back it's not a problem.
    Tell me the exact model and age of your Mac. (The model identifier can be found by holding the option key down and clicking on the Apple Menu, select System Information (top entry) and then read the model identifier from the righthand panel (2nd entry down)

  • Apple iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch), how much ram?

    How much RAm can i add into a Apple iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch), anyone know?

    And I do not see any specifications for a White iMac with a 24" screen that is 2.33GHz.
    But now I found it...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
    You have what normally would have been a 2.16GHz model but with the made to order 2.33GHz upgrade. Memory is...
    1GB (2x512MB) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 3GB
    officially. You have two slots, each supporting up to a 2GB RAM but officially Apple says 3Gigs is the max. Which is an odd number because normally I would expect to see something like 2Gig based on having 1G rams available at the time. However, since they spec 3GB that would imply that 2GB RAMs were around at the time, but they still specifically say the machine can only have 3GB (2GB + 1GB).
    Many older systems can support more ram than their official specs due to larger RAMs being released after the support for testing new RAM was done. Apple specifically limiting you to a single 2GB RAM with the other having to be 1GB would seem to indicate there IS an issue with supporting a pair of 2GB rams.
    So you can very safely go from 2GB to 3GB by replacing one of the 1Gig modules with a 2GB module. However I can't say for sure if it would work to go to 4GB or not.

  • My 27' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM iMac keeps restarting.

    My I wonder if anyone on here could help me.
    My 27' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM iMac keeps restarting all the time. It's been happening for months now but has got worse and worse. It started when I was using programmes like adobe Pr & Ae but now it happens when I have only have safari or other small apps open.
    What happens is the screen freezes, I can hear a clicking should and then the machine just restarts all of a sudden.
    I get the message: 'Your computer was restarted because of a problem. Click report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple' which I have done ever time for about 50+ times now in total. The 'problem details and system configuration' states the below:

    I use my iMac daily for work and it happens from 4-10 times a day depending on what applications i'm using. More if I'm trying to render a video. It is really furstrating and keeps me from doing any work at all, I can't keep working like this but I have no choise. I really can't be without my computer for very long as I use it to do everything and I do not have another. Also I have all my files on the hard drive. I have bought a Seagate external HD to back up my files onto so I can make a genus bar appointment but everytime I run time machine or try to copy any of my files over to the external HD the machine restarts and disrupts the file transfer. So I can't even back up my files which are really important to me. I even had to retype this whole message becuase my imac restarted while I was fulling in this question.
    What is worse is that I bought the extra warrenty (Apple Care) which is due to expire sometime in March 2014 I'm unsure of the date. Might have expired already I don't know. So I need to get this fixed ASAP.
    Extra information on the machine:
    iMac
    27-inch, Mid 2011
    Processor  3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
    Can anyone see from the information I have given about what could be wrong with my machine?
    Any help or assistance would be much appriciated.
    Thanks,
    James

    Hi.  I am currently having the same issue on my 2011 27"  3.1 GHz i5  with 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    For the last couple of months I have been experiencing random restarts, power offs and so on.  I have already had this escalated and had my machine taken into Apple to run a Hardware test.  They redid the newest OSX version in store and ran the AHT for an hour and got no results.  The Genius Bar were asked by Apple Canada to run an all night test.  According to Apple they ran the test for 4 hours and got nothing.  I was then told to take the machine home and run it with just the memory that was original in the machine.  I stressed tested the video card with a benchmark tool called Heaven for 2 hours.  90C was the temp and no failure.  I did a Terminal "Yes" loop for a couple of hours and no failure on the CPU.  I ran the Apple Hardware Test for 11 minutes and this is the result.
    I also have a video of what happened after I restarted the test after about a 5 minute cooldown period.  20 minutes into the test the Imac stalled and made 3 long beeps over and over again like an alarm with a long pause between.  I took the memory out of the DIMM 0 & 1 slots and replaced them in the 2&3 slots rand the test and got nothing after 2 hours.  I put the memory back in the original spot and ran it again and got no results.  Apple contacted the "Genius" techs and they informed them that I had fixed the problem and everything should be good now.  I was also told to go ahead and transfer back over my Time Machine Backup.  Since this all happened I have had the Imac restart 2 times in the last almost 2 weeks and today got this error message

    I would also like to add that The Second High Level tech I spoke to told me to use a program to take an image of what my computer was doing when the fresh install of Mavericks was installed and then again after the Time Machine restore.  I sent both and have had no response back. The "Engineers of Apple" would be taking a look at those files. This is what I was told anyway's.
    So I would like any advise because Apple hasn't been too helpful.  I haven't heard anything back at all. Its been a little while.  This seems that it could be an issue. I sat in the store speaking to a gentleman with a brand new iMac 27 inch that was having the same exact issues.  I was told his was newer so they were not the same.  The owner of the new iMac just rolled his eyes and laughed. James McConville seems to be having the same issue and I have read quite a few others before I saw this post from yesterday.
    Help Us Please.

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How much RAM can my 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Hold?

    Hello everybody. My question, as written in the subject, is about the RAM in my 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro. I currently have 2GB and would like to move up to four. Can think particular model hold 4GB of RAM total? I believe the answer is yes but just want to make sure...
    Thank you

    rhythmproject:
    Check out your RAM options here at OWC. If you choose to go for six GB you can pull one of the 1 GB modules and install a 4 GB module first for a total of 5 GB and later install the 2 GB module. Or just go the 6 GB at once, in which case you can get the matched pair. OWC offers a small trade in for the modules you pull.
    Good luck.

  • Can i install mountain lion on my macbook 2006, 2ghz intel core 2 duo, 2gb ram?

    hi , is it possible to install mountain lion on my macbook from 2006, 2ghz intel core 2 duo and 2 gb ram
    in the moment i use 10.6.8 and i want to update for installing iwork09, wich requiered 10.7 or more. i need the new iwork, cause my old pages and numbers dont work together with the iwork on my ipad4.
    ok, thank you, nice greetings

    10.7 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    You must have at least a Late 2006 Core 2 Duo model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

    Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
    If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
    Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.
