Intel Core Duo running temperature
Should I be concerned that my CPU seems to climb and plateau at around 68-71C after an hour or so of usage?
The GPU diode seems to do the same as well.
I have iStat installed which is giving me these figures - is that related?
I also have Norton installed - could that be it?
Sorry - this is just a series of questions....would appreciate some wisdom.
Thanks for reading.
Using the iStat pro widget
My temps are:
CPU A..............40C
GPU.................74C
Ambient..........28C
Memory...........48C
HD Bay............45C
Optical Drive...39C
ST...................43C
Your GPU seem normal, but you should try iStat Pro to double check on that CPU temp reading.

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. -

What is a recommended decompression software for a non-Lion compatible MacBook Pro 1,1 2 GHz Intel Core Duo running OS X Version 10.6.8?
My thanks to you and all other respondents. In backing up "theVault" App I thought that my ancient version of Stuffit was inadequate to unzip the backup file. I attempted to download the latest Zipit version which only works with Lion. After upgrading to Stuffit 9 I realized that theVault backup file was encrypted so as to not open on the backup Mac. One must restore to the iPhone where is does open.
My apologies for the imprecise post. I am finding limitations with not being able to install Lion on my early MacBook Pro. I can recommend theVault to those looking for a password App with secure backup. -

Will Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo run Snow Leopard ok?
I have the following system spec on my Macbook Pro which i bought in Apr 2006:
2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo
2 G 667 Mhz SDRam
I would like to know if Snow Leopard will run on my system. I have been getting a few glitches for the last while when running internet related searches for certain sites like Youtube, and sometimes with streaming video. I figured that maybe i need a more up to date OS as i've been a bit slack with updating it. Any thoughts fromt he community are welcomeYes. You can run Snow Leopard OK.
As you're starting from Tiger it's imperative you backup your current system before proceeding. That's best done by cloning it to an external HD using the Restore function in Disk Utility, or you can use third-party software such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
The reason for this is that although the installation should go smoothly with the installer replacing system files and leaving your user data and applications untouched, I have come across a couple that failed and could only be installed after erasing the Macintosh HD.
Buy the retail Snow Leopard disc; http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
and update to 10.6.8 with the combo installer; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be aware that lots of software will need updating, not all of it for free (stand up, Adobe!), and you may well have difficulty getting drivers for older printers or scanners.
Ensure you select Rosetta from the optional installations to enable your older software to continue working. -
The issue is, I teach photography and just downloaded Lightroom 4.
Well, LR4 won't run on the older OS. So, before I try to download Mountain Lion, I need to know if it will work on this computer or is it simply too old.
ThanksOS X Lion and Mountain Lion are 64-bit operating systems, and the Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so you can't use Lion and Mountain Lion on your computer. Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the most recent version for your computer.
As I can see, you are running Mac OS X Leopard, so buy Snow Leopard. Then, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade OS X. When the upgrade finishes, open > Software Update to update to the most recent version, so you will be using 10.6.8 -
In the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus. I have never had that happened to a computer, but I have surely heard about it. I can't think of any other reason it is behaving like this. I know that Macs have been pretty much impervious to viruses, but that was before they were the majority of users.
Anyway, what is happening is, my computer keeps crashing whenever I try to open a program, app, document, folder, file, etc. I tried to boot from Drive Genius to establish the problem, but Drive Genius crashed too. I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
Before I go there I was hoping someone in the community would have a suggestion to help me avoid that ultimate last resort. The tech support guy at Drive Genius told me that probably would have to be the way to go (as in reboot) and if that doesn't clear it up, it's repair time.
Thank you for your consideration in advance;
Lorain RIn the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus.
As others have pointed out, this isn't malware. That should not be your first (or even fifty-first) thought when your Mac starts misbehaving. For more on this topic, see my Mac Malware Guide.
I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
You mention "cleaning and maintenance." Have you been running utilities claiming to do those things? If so, you may be the victim of an overly-zealous cleaning job, which has removed important files and damaged your system.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're unable to open any applications at all... is that right? Do you have any backups? If you don't have backups, you're in a sticky situation, as it will be difficult to make backups in your current state, but you shouldn't try any kind of repairs without them. (Actually, you shouldn't do anything with your computer without backups, but this is especially important when something is going badly wrong.)
If you have backups, reboot from your Snow Leopard install disc. From there, first, repair the hard drive with Disk Utility. Once that is done, assuming repairs were successful, reinstall the system. You can simply reinstall it on top of your current system, and it will replace any damaged or lost system files with new copies. (You'll also need to update the system via Software Update after reinstalling.)
If you don't have backups, or if Disk Utility can't repair damage, or if the problem continues even after a reinstall, post back with those details. -

HT1338 intel core duo / can't migrate to icloud?
Hi. I would like some help in clarifying please. I have an older Macbook with an Intel Core Duo running Snow Leopard. I can't upgrade to Lion. I have used my .mac account/Mobileme for years primarily for email purposes, idisk, and the gallery (I understand the idisk and gallery are being discontinued). I'm trying to understand whether I can migrate to icloud and/or whether I really need it. I don't have any other devices that I need to sync with. I've already copied my idisk onto my hard drive and I'm not too worried about the gallery because I have my photos and movies stored elsewhere.
Questions:
1. Do I need to migrate to icloud in order to keep my @mac and @me email addresses?
2. Will the @mac email address be discontinued after June 30 (assuming I've migrated to icloud)?
3. Is it physically possible for me to migrate to icloud if I am using Snow Leopard? If so, do I follow the steps as outlined on the main migration page (i.e. acknowledge that I'm using the required software)?
I believe there may be a workaround to #3 but am not sure if that's what I'm looking for. Thank you for your help.
DaveHi Dave,
Questions:
1. Do I need to migrate to icloud in order to keep my @mac and @me email addresses?
2. Will the @mac email address be discontinued after June 30 (assuming I've migrated to icloud)?
3. Is it physically possible for me to migrate to icloud if I am using Snow Leopard? If so, do I follow the steps as outlined on the main migration page (i.e. acknowledge that I'm using the required software)?
Answers:
1. Yes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4597). MobileMe accounts must be migrated before the end of MobileMe otherwise they end along with the service.
2. No. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4597)
3. I haven't done it recently but yes.
-- You will need to update the mail server settings in your Mail program once the migration is complete as iCloud uses a different set of mail servers than MobileMe: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.
Cheers. -
Imac intel 2 core duo running at 117 Fº. Is this healthy?
my imac intel 2 core duo running at 117 Fº. Is this healthy? The fan speeds are ODD: 998 CPU: 1198 HDD: 1199.
What you need to understand is that your processor has two different temperatures. The temperature that escapes when it leaves the processor dye is called the t case. The temperature for each core is called the tcore. If your processor temp were to be a problem one or two things can happen. The system will shut down immediately to protect itself. For quad core temperatures for example, it will shut itself down at some point at 75-80 degrees Celcius. Operating temperature of about 40-60 C when the system is fully stressed is a target temperature.

Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open, says it is for Mountian Lion.
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!!Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
