Intel Core 2 Duo 64 or 32-bit?
Could someone please tell me how to find out if my macs are 64-bit or 32-bit? Both mine are Intel Core2 Duo. 1) mac mini-2ghz-1gb ram and 2) iMac 24" 3.06ghz 4gb ram.
Thank You

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The processors are both 64-bit - the one in the mini is a 'Merom' device, which was Intel's first 64-bit C2D processor, introduced in mid 2007. The iMac CPU is the updated version of it, the 'Penryn', which was introduced early this year.
ON EDIT: For reference, you'll see the architecture described at http://www.apple.com/macmini/intel.html (there's no directly equivalent page for the iMac)

Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo says it has a 32 bit processor
I have a Macbook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Model Identifier MacBookPro5,4 with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and it seems to me its a 32 bit processor when I read all Core 2 Duos are 64. I just want to make sure I'm reading this right. Below are the specs.

Thank youAgreed. Core2Duo processors through early 2007 were a mix of 32/64 bit, which is why they couldn't always be addressed beyond 3GB of RAM.
After then they were all 64 bit. The graphics never increased above 32 bit, as that's all that is needed for millions of colors. Optimizations for shade and three dimensional graphics came not from the bit of the card, but from the capacity of the graphics chip/card, measured in MB and GB. Bit just describes the path width of the data stream. The MB and GB of the chip/card describes the storage capacity itself. -
64 bit and the iMac 24", 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory
Hello,
I am confused about the whole 32 bit 64 bit situation
I have installed Snow leopard on my new iMac 24", 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory.
Can this machine run 64bit? I thought it was a 32 bit machine.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.Most Apple application run in 64 bit mode no matter what. Third party apps will if they are designed to. The unix kernel defaults to 32 bit mode for compatibility reasons. You can switch it to 64 if you like. I tried it and lost my Kensington mouse driver. Switching back to 32 brought it back. There is very little reason a normal user would need to run in 64 bit mode... but dangit I WANT to! Sadly my extra mouse buttons are more important...

Intel Core 2 Duo: 64-bit or 32-bit?
Just a short question: is Intel Core 2 Duo a 64-bit processor, or a 32-bit one? I know that according to Wikipedia it's a 64-bit processor, but I have heard (rumors?) that it only "emulates" 64-bit mode, and in fact it is a 32-bit processor.
I have such a processor and I'd like to know what version of Arch should I install: i686 or x86_64 (in order to get the best performance)?Thank you all for your answers, they were very helpful!
chicha wrote:All the people I know using a 64 bit architecture did not notice a real performance improvement which could justify to change your 32 bit system to a 64 bit system. More ever a 64 bit system consumes more memory than a 32 bit one (the binaries are bigger).
Quite interesting. But there are also other issues, mentioned later...

Here are 3 situations I would recommand a 64 bit system :
1 - For the fun and curiosity
2 - You have a big memory ( >= 2Go )
3 - You have a specific need which justify the 64 bit (special software, research, advanced use such as cluster ...)
Ad.1) I use my system for work, not fun. I need a tool, not a toy.
Ad.2) My new machine has 2 GB RAM. Moreover, one of the reasons to buy the machine was the ability to install total of 4 GB RAM. I'm a developer and it is possible that in the future (1, 2 years) I will need more RAM than I need now.
Ad.3) Not my case.
chicha wrote:

1 - You think your system will be faster than a 32 bit one.
2 - You do not know what a 64 bit system is against a 32 bit system and its consequences on programming stuffs
3 - You do not want to bother with recompiling stuffs or change some software you use because they do not support 64 bit.
Ad.1) I don't think so; I didn't think so. But I'm not a "hardware guy", so I wanted to make myself sure...
Ad.2) I'm a developer, but my target is desktop. I use Java and Python, cross-platform languages. Do I really need to care about it? Isn't it the JVM's and Python's developers' problem? (Or, perhaps, I'm missing the point here?)
Ad.3) I don't want to bother...
Let's sum it up:
1) Since there is no noticable performance improvement of 64-bit OS over 32-bit one, using 32-bit OS is recommended (lower memory consumption).
2) Since my machine has 2 GB RAM, and it will be upgraded to 4 GB in 1-2 years, 64-bit OS is recommended.
The conclusion: I should install 64-bit OS.
Am I right? -
Intel Core 2 Duo is 32 or 64 bit ???
I'm using Parallels 3.0 to run WindowsXP (32-bit) that working great. Today i was trying to install OpenSUSE 10.3 (64-bit) in Parallels to try Linux by first time, but the installer show me an error:
+This is a 32-bit computer. You cannot use 64-bit sowftware on it.+
But in the download page to choose the version to download you can read:
+x86-64: Most new computers with e.g. AMD®: Opteron™, Turion™ 64, Athlon™ 64, or _*Intel®: Core™2*_, Pentium® 4 6xx, Pentium® D CPUs+
So, the error is caused by Parallels or Intel Core 2 Duo is 32-bit and not 64-bit ???Parallels Desktop only supports the emulation of 32 bit OSes. It will run on a 64 bit machine.

mid-late 2007? can you be a bit more specific, will Mavericks work on Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz 4GB ?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like you can upgrade to OS X Mavericks (you have got an Early 2009 iMac). Follow these steps to upgrade > http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade
Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -

Can I install Mountain Lion 64-bit over top of 32-bit version installed by mistake. Machine is 24-inch mid 2007 iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit?)
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mountain Lion is a full 64-bit operating system. Why do you think Mountain Lion is 32-bit in your computer?
To check that you are definitely using a 64-bit operating system, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
uname -a
Then, tell us what you see at the end after RELEASE. If you see i386, you are running a 32-bit operating system. If you see x86_64, you are using a 64-bit operating system. Also, the processor of your Mac is 64-bit -
Dear Apple Support Community.
As mentioned by a number of users reporting the same problem, my 2009 iMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, has become extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since it was migrated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (OS 10.9 then OS 10.9.1).
I have already run CleanMyMac, deleted 5GB of useless stuffs, which did not translate into any improvement. Following the advices collected in other Apple Support Community threads, I have applied EtreCheck the outcome of which is provided below.
For information, I have also upgraded my 2011 MacBook CPU2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB which became only a bit slower than before, sometimes freezing which it almost never did before. However, I am used to the fact that Mac get usually slower and more prompt fo freeze after upgrading to a more recent OS.
Both my 2009 iMac and my 2011 MacBook have F-Secure installed. So the problem with the 2009 IMac is unlikly to be due to the presence of F-Secure. Interestingly, the few abnormalities found by Etrecheck were exacly identical before I ran CleanMyMac. There are two more findings (mentioned below) since I ran CleanMyMac on the 2009 iMac, which again didn't improve the problem.
So please find below the details of the EtreCheck experience and some additional measurements made with iStat while running EtreCheck:

Please find now some additional measurements collected with iStat while running EtreCheck:
Practically:
The iMac can work slowly with only one software e.g. either Mail or Safari or Firefox, but still the below "out of Memory" message occurs about every 3 minutes.
Aperture has becomre to slow to be useable
If trying to write a mail (with Mail) while Safari or Firefox is open, then the "out of Memory" message occurs about every 20 seconds so I need to check on "Resume" several times per minute.
Conclusions
From the above, unless anyone in the Apple Support Community proves to be able to identify a specific problem leading to a way to find a cure, I tend to conclude that Mavericks is not suitable for computers operating with a Core 2 Duo CPU even with a 8GB of RAM.
Unless I missed something, I did not see any warning from Apple Computer Inc. informing their customers they should refrain from upgrading Core 2 Duo Computers.
The only solution I see so far is to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. And the Apple Support Community would confirm that it is the only solution, I would appreciate to get your guidance on how to proceed.
Intended action plan
Migrate the above 2009 iMac to a 2014 Mac Mini Server operating on Mavericks to ensure that no data may be lost while downgrading to Montain Lion.
Provided the above downgrading operation is successful, assign this 2009 iMac to partial retirement e.g. Mail, Skype, iTunes and DVD player.
In advance, I would like to thank the Apple Community for helping me either i) finding a cure to the problem, ii) or confirming that Mavericks cannot operate properly on Core 2 Duo computers, iii) and in such a case, guiding me on how to downgrade to Mountain Lion.
Yours sincerely
Core... what anti-virus would you recommend using?
Use what is already included with OS X. It already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -
How can I put my iMac intel core 2 duo in 64bit mode
I have an iMac model 7.1 that has an Intel core 2 duo so shouldn't I be able to make it run in 64 bit mode? How? I am in 10.6.8 and it locks too often to be used. I tried the Terminal sudo systemsetup -setkernalbootarchitecture x86_64 but the Terminal said it wasn't a valid command, what can II do to get back to work and not have to buy a PC?
Hi Mike, my head exploded too around page 50. I had bought a used iMac from an official Apple reseller here in Holland. It had an old 250GB HD that was 2/3 full, I had to get my Apple software Logic pro 9 into the iMac, I had, in 10.5 been doing that by booting from an external 1TB HD. Many developers won't allow downloads to external HD's,music software developers I meant. SO the external was a working solution until Jobs died and the company changed policies. The Fire Wire which Jobs had gotten started was working beautifully and since I have many "music Sample libraries" which must be able to throw into a song whatever I tell Logic to use, it worked much better having the libraries on external HD's[all Fire Wire 1TB] so they could effortlessly stream the music samples into logic SIMULTANEOUSLY, since Snow Leopard they have all been trying to stream from the same single external boot HD and that doesn't work well in Logic Pro. I was getting the locked screen that almost everyone on these 77 pages[you are late to this but the original thread had reached 77 pages when I found it] was complaining about, I decided[no idea why] to try booting from the internal HD, even though it doesn't contain the music software I use for work. It boots fine and shows no signs of locked screen or crazy graphics, but I can't do my job from a 250GB internal HD. I am going to the Apple store today to ask the price of installing a new 1TB internal Hd and more RAMM, 4GB's in music streaming is a bit wimpy,and a nephew of mine wrote to me with a link to OWC and said look you can now buy two 3GB sticks of SDRAMM that will work in your old iMac, so that would settle the problems of a 4GB RAMM limit. I don't have the time or money to buy and set up a new mac with only one FW800 port,I can't just replace 4 1TB external HD's with new USB 3's, so having this old girl upgraded would be the only solution for me. I am glad to hear you can boot SL from an external, there must have been something else that was causing the problems but I have to work and ******* around with a locked up screen means no income. This iMac has a core 2 duo, not a core duo, kbHT3696, yes I just checked thats the right number, I posted a wrong number before,sorry, although searching the topic here would get you to that article which explains that my core 2 duo can be 64 bit,I even held down the 64 keys when booting this morning to see if it really was a core 2 duo and it worked,I am in 64 bit,but when I attached the external with the music software the screen locked again making me hold in the start button to shut it down,there is something there SL doesn't like but I have no time to mess with what SNow Leopard wants,it is supposed to be working for me,not the other way around,all clear now?

IMAC Intel Core 2 Duo -- from Blue Screen to Shut Down -- Need Assistance
I have the iMac 20-inch Intel Core 2 Duo.
Was on the internet last night and the computer completely locked up, got he spinning pinwheel, waited for about 5 minutes and tried a force quit with no luck. I shut it down and then powered it back up and only got to the blue screen. Shut it down again, same problem. Let it sit for a couple of hours to see if it would fully boot but nothing. Searched a bit on the apple support site and went with the reccomendation of trying to start in safe mode, got to the grey apple screen, then it went black and shut down on its own and has done that every time since.
I have unplugged everything several times, reset the PRAM and still nothing.
I have been getting the spinning pinwheel off and on over the past few weeks but a force quit would usually clear the application. I have been experiencing problems accessing hotmail lately so I have been clearing the history and deleting cookies, this has been the only way I have been able to access hotmail. Don't know if that has anything to do with this or not.
Additionally the computer has been gradually getting slower over the past few months. Didn't really think much of it at the time.
My biggest concern is losing the data I have saved on the hard drive right now. Getting the computer to work again would be nice too as I only bought it about a year and a half ago.
Any assistance or info greatly appreciated.

I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram. Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion? What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible? Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense? I have an Epson R2000 printer. Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion? It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.
Before upgrading to Lion be sure to read this link:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
Adobe lists these requirements:

Looking at http://www.everymac.com/ even the earliest 2008 iMac was fully 64 bit, even though Boot Camp doesn't support 64 bit Windows on that machine. -
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!

There is a difference between “Intel Core Duo” and “IntelCore 2 Duo” processors.
Look under your Apple menu > About this Mac > more information for the details -
I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Meanwhile my battery is going down.....Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-) -
Help with InDesign and using MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB
Have a Mac Book Pro running 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM is there anyway to use InDesign and if so what version would run on this machine and would I still be able to interface with a printer to produce a magazine? Or is it possible to upgrade/gut this machine for a new processor and RAM, if that is even possible, and could I then run a CS program say 5.5?
Thanks for all the help - it is confusing though. I tried to download the trial version of CS5.5 to explore before buying the student version and the program download froze. I have deleted the doadload assistant and spoke with Adobe who told me my machine would not be compatible unless I upgraded - maybe the RAM to 4GB.
You got bad (wrong) advice.
If the download didn't work, it has nothing to do with the performance characteristics of your machine. You could download CS5.5 on a low-end PC from 10 years ago, it doesn't take much.
Unfortunately Adobe's download manager is a bit flakey. Best advice is to use Firefox and try the download again.
It doesn't have anything to do with the power of your computer, be it speed, processor type, or RAM.
Make sure you're using FIrefox (if not, download and install it first), and then try the download again.
Also, the download manager depends on Java. Make sure you have Java installed (but I think you must, because otherwise the download would not have started?).
If it still doesn't work, give us some more detail. Error message? Screenshot?
