I have Garageband version 4.1.2 (248.7) installed on my early 2008 IMAC Version 10.5.8. I have never upgraded but have a LOT of projects. If I upgrade my operating system to the next level (10.6?), will my GB version still work? Do I need to upgrade GB?

I have a LOT of projects involved and hope they will transfer. Can I (and should I) upgrade GB at the same time and how far should I go with that without causing a problem with my projects? What would I gain if I upgrade GB? Thanks!

my copy of 4.1.2 appears to work under 10.6.8, though i have not done extensive tests

v4 is pretty lonh in the tooth now, and GB only costs $15, so I'd think it's a good idea

the only version you can buy new is v6,a nd it should open older projects without issue ... however you could keep 4 around:

Mac Pro early 2008 2 x 2.8GHz Quad Core 10.7.5, replaced 4 x 500ghds with 4 x 3Tb and Raid card Raid5 them OK but can not load time machine back up as it does not see any of the 4 drives, neither does disc utilities, any thoughts?

On my Mac Pro, early 2008 2 x 2.8GHz Quad Core 10.7.5, replaced 4 x 500ghds with 4 x 3Tb. The Raid card Raid 5ed them OK but can not load time machine back up as it does not see any of the 4 drives, neither does disc utilities, any thoughts?

You don't see drives when using a hardware RAID only the volumes.
WD Green are not suitable for hardware RAID (or software RAID for that matter).
USB2 and TimeMachine are a disaster waiting to happen. I've used SATA (internal) and eSATA (using SATA PCIe cards) trouble-free.
I can't say I begin to understand your use or "choosing the install drive for the backup"
Install what?
You don't load TimeMachine. Maybe seems minor but that is not how to describe the behavior of software.

Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze. Please help.

If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.

New Corsair ram issues - 2008 Macbook (white) 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Just after having a successful (though after some help from the forum) install of 8GB into my mid 2009 MBP I helped my brother install a 4GB (2x2GB) memory upgrade from OEM 2GB (2x1GB) into his 2008 macbook (white) 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system. Checked and made sure I got the right memory speed and capacity for the 2008 macbook. Here's the memory I recieved http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011UPBMA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
So since installing even though the system seems to read the memory correctly showing in system profiler that 4GB is recognized and the status reads "OK" the system is crashing
Below is the latest system crash report that I copied from when I had to restart the computer. Any help on what to do or if the memory is bad?
Note: After booting into safe boot. The system is still crashing! (The report below is before the crash in safe boot)

Hmmm I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to conclude that it's not compatible. I mean vendor of ram shouldn't be why it's not working as I just got done installing Corsair ram into my mid 2009 MBP and although had trouble initially was able to figure out (with the help of this forum and a very helpful member: Kappy) that I had an incompatible (for OSX) kext installed on my sytem. The Corsair ram on my MBP is running great now.
Wish I knew how to read the panic report. Anything pointing to something else that may be incompatible or anything pointing specifically to the memory.
I'm not trying to ignore your advice as I'm very appreciative of it, it's just that I was pretty certain that the ram purchased should be compatible as I checked all specifications and noticed the reviews pointing to compatibility.

Airport Extreme 802.11n upgrade options for early Intel Core Duo iMac

I have an iMac from mid 2006. I recently purchased a Timecapsule - partly for the wireless back ups, and partly to upgrade my wireless network to 802.11n. There is a software upgrade from Apple that upgrades older 802.11 a/b/g Airport cards in the iMac to 'n' standard. Here is the link:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/D4141ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MjIzMDkzNA
The page states that the upgrade is compatible "If you have a Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)". What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work. I have also tried to install Airport Extreme updates (2007002 and 2008004) and these report that the hardware is not compatible. Doing some searching around these forums and others, the issue with the original Core Duo iMacs not being upgradeable to 802.11n is out there - shame Apple weren't more explicit.
I have seen that there are various USB based 802.11n adapters available. Whilst searching on this topic, I also came across a site offering various Mac upgrades, including an upgrade to the Airport card to upgrade wireless capability from 802.11g to 802.11n. It looks like a straight replacement for the internal card - link here:
http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/productinfo.php?productsid=461
The company offering this is in the UK, but the product appears to be from a Sonnet, a US company. Does anyone out there have experience of installing this product (or having it installed) and can you comment on how it performs? Is it a seamless replacement for the original Airport card?

What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work.
If it says you need to have a Core "2" Duo processor, then it seems to me they are telling you very clearly that it will not work with the earlier Core (no "2") Duo iMacs.
The "late 2006" iMacs with Core 2 Duo (except for that one education model they mentioned) have wireless networking hardware that is 802.11n capable. When they were initially sold, Apple chose to NOT enable the "n" capability for some reason; maybe because the standard was still in flux and not enough testing had been done with the driver. Later, they enabled the "n" capability with a firmware update. But that was only possible because the wireless hardware was already capable of doing "n."
Earlier iMacs do not have this hardware so there is no way to enable it with a firmware or software update. 802.11g is plenty fast enough for Internet access (you won't notice a difference with "n"). If you are using Time Machine over wireless, it may take a while longer to do that initial backup (you could connected it by Ethernet cable when it is doing that initial backup), but subsequent backups are incremental, so the "g" versus "n" speed difference will not be as critical. Since your iMac is Core Duo (32-bit) and the future of Mac OS X is 64-bit, especially after Snow Leopard's release, it may be best to save your money and keep your iMac intact (not opened).

Mac OSX for the 13-inch Early 2011 Thunderbolt 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 model.

I got a refurb MacBook Pro two days ago.
It is the 13-inch Early 2011 Thunderbolt 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 model.
It came from Apple with Mac OSX 10.7.1 Lion installed on it (and no media on disks).
According to EveryMac.com this model originally shipped with Mac OSX 10.6.6
The "Whats in the box" lists the software on DVD as one of the parts that should have been included but there was no disk with the MacBook.
Was there or wasn't there an actual software install media disk for this model ??
The fan runs at about 2000 rpm all the time.
Is this normal ??
Mike

10.7 Lion doesn't have disks, but a Recovery Partition accessible by holding command and r keys upon booting.
You need a internet connection, fast, strong and relaible to download Lion from Apple servers.
Since that machine came with Snow Leopard originally, you can call Apple with your serial number (AppleMenu > About this Mac > More info) and request new copies of the 10.6.x grey disks.
You can learn more about Lion by visiting these links

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).

IMAC early 2009 2GB RAM, 2.66ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, Im currently running Snow LEopard 10.6

So I have an iMAC early 2009 2GB RAM, 2.66ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, Im currently running Snow LEopard 10.6 & I tried upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 today and right before it finishes it cancels download and says unable to download application "NSInternalInconsistentexception" ??? how do i fix this

Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

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.

Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

Try calling 1-800-676-2775. Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk). *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
Have you considered Snow Leopard?. Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Which install DVDs on ebay for imac 20" tiger intel core duo?

Hi everbody.
Those folks selling install DVD's on ebay don't usually specify which machine their discs are for.PLUS THEY DONT ACCEPT RETURNS.
Anyone know how I can determine which Tiger discs will restore my imac 20" intel core duo SERIAL NUMBER W86****NU2P ???
Any help will be great, thanks!!

Please don't post your serial number in your post. Take a look at this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159#iMac it will have the version of Mac OS that came with your iMac. Try to match that with the DVDs on eBay. Or you can always call Apple to order it.

I have a macbook pro with a 2.16 GHz Intel core Duo processor. Can I install the iOS 5 software

I have a macbook pro with a 2.16 Ghz Intel core Duo processor. Can I install the iOS 5 software?

iOS 5 is for iDevices, not OS X. Your iDevice would only require 10.5.8 or later. If you have a Mac with a Core Duo processor then you cannot install Lion but you can install Snow Leopard provided you have at least 1 GB of RAM installed.

Install CS6 on early 2008 MBP4,1 2.5ghz, intel core duo, 6GBRAM?
