Is there anything we will be able to do about the new intel chips?

If Apple decides to put Merom Core 2 Duo processors in the MacBooks later this year, will we be able to get Merom Core 2 Duo processors in our MacBooks?
Or are we just stuck with what we have in are MacBooks?
Thanks,
Sam

Sam, I understand the frustration of getting a new computer and then seeing it replaced with a newer, faster, and always cheaper model. Keep in mind a computer is a tool. An incredibly cool tool, but as long as it does the job that you bought it to do then it still has value.
No the CPUs will not be upgradable as they are soldered to the logic board in all Mac portables. The iMacs and the minis are a different story as they are socketed CPUs. Some people have already upgraded them with test samples of Core 2 Duo processors and they work fine.
Also, look at it this way. If your computer is outdated for your needs with one product update, then you didn't buy the right computer - or your needs changed considerably. In either case, that is something that is beyond Apple's control.
Don't worry about having the latest and greatest. It will only leave you poor and frustrated since you will always be playing catch up.

I was using my notes earlier today and now for some reason they are all gone. How does this happen and is there anything I can do to get them back, the new ones also that haven't been synced.

The 1 mil $ Q = Will the new intel chips be able to run Windows Vista?

Ditto?

Doesn't the "new" Windows operating system take up more system resources than Windows XP? Will that affect how my Mac operates?

Need to use my FCP 5 fast. Will it likely not work on the new Intel iMac?

Hi,
I purchased a standalone version of FCP 5 about 6 months ago. I am thinking about getting a new Intel-based iMac, and I need to use the program fast (so I can't wait for Apple to send me that 5.1 upgrade). How likely is it that FCP 5 will still run on the new iMac?
Thanks!

It does work, although "not supported" i.e. if you have problems with it it's not Apple's problem.
As stated in numerous threads posted in this forum, hit the Escape key when you get the error message upon opening the App.
Not believeing everything you read on the Apple site but believing what's written here is kind of a hypocritical statement isn't it? Believe me = Bwa Ha Ha Ha! (pun intended, Studio x)
And FWIW I think you'll go far in life! And that means a lot coming from me.
Welcome to the discussions!

Does anyone know if the new intell chip will be available in the new imac

Is there anyway to run older versions of software on the new mac chip set?

I've got an older version of photoshop that ran fine on my 5 year old mac mini...which won't run on my brand new mac mini....anyone have the same problem and a work around....

The error message reads, "You can't open the "Adobe Photoshop CS.app" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Would running an earlier version of OSX correct this?

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?

Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor. The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz. If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer. Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue. Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log. I don't know if they're related. How 'bout you?
If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

Contact iTunes Customer Support and ask them.

I have iwork on two computers, but my account doesn't show record of it for my being able to reinstall on the new computer. Is there a time limit? I tried airdrop, but it won't let me use it.

Sounds like you installed iWork from before there was the Mac App Store.
If you installed it from a Family DVD you are entitled to install that on 5 computers and can do that from the DVD.
If not then you need to purchase it from the M.A.S. and will be able to install it on any of your computers using the same Apple I.D. However Apple is promising a new version before Christmas so it may not be a good time to buy now.

I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort?

I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!

Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere. The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free). I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again

Will I Be Able to link / connect the new iMac to a ps3 in HD quality

Will I be able to link / connect the new iMac to a PS3 in HD quality

Not very easily, if at all, since iMacs don't have an HDMI input port.

Also, any cobbled together solution for connecting a PS3 to an iMac likely will have too much latency between the PS3 controller and what appears on the screen for games to be playable.

The Smartbookmarks page refers to this add-on in its place:

I have no idea if it's basically the same or anything about its reliability.

I have an imac with intel core duo processor. Will I be able to upgrade to the new Lion system that icloud is associated with?

I have an Imac with the Intel Core Duo Processor. Will I be able to upgrade to the new OSX Lion?

You need a Core 2 Duo or later to use Lion. You will need to install Snow Leopard in order to access the Mac App Store to download Lion when it becomes available.

Will my printer and scanner work with the new intel mac?

My first post.. so I hope i am in the right place! (was in wrong place last attempt!)
I want to buy the new intel...but I would like to know for sure if it will work with my scanner and printer.
Printer is Epson Stylus Photo 2100 and the scanner is Microtek ScanMaker 4900.
I have emailed both Epson and Microtek... phoned Epson.. and I still do not know the answer.
The responses were
"At this point in time with have been given no information on whether our printer drivers will work or not....".
"Yes it will work with OSX 10.4"
"As you know this new intel chip has just hit the market. This particular configuration is in the alpha stage of testing. As of now there has not been any reports or customer correspondence of any concerns."
I have been scanning these posts and it seems that only the operating system is relevant? If anyone could help I would appreciate it. I am finally able to replace my old, old, well loved G4 but am worried I will make the wrong decision.

Thanks all for the helpful comments. I am getting closer to going out and buying the intel. As for the Canon printer... its not really an option for me, since the Epson cost me more than the computer will! But I will keep it in mind for the future. And do you think this applies to digital cameras as well Tomzo? I have been considering buying my first digital.. and thought the pentax might be best, since it apparently can use the lenses from my film camera.
Thanks again all..I will keep checking the apple site list and the web sites as suggested by you.
