  • My Macbook Pro with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger) can convert to Lion?

    my Macbook Pro with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger) can convert to Lion?
    Toyoo

    These are some of the most common Questions (Q) and Answers (A) about Lion:
    Q: What are the system requirements of the Lion upgrade?
    A: Core2Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, and Xeon Intel CPUs with 2 GB of RAM in a Macintosh computer with 2 GB of RAM, and 4 GB (7 GB after installed) for downloading from the Mac App Store (Available in 10.6.6 and later). Unofficially, past upgrades have arbitrarily also required an additional 15% of the hard drive to be free for data.
    Q: What applications are compatible with Lion?
    A: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table provides a nice third party editable listing for people to include the compatible applications. Many of these compatibility entries came from before Lion's release. Please verify they are correct now that it has been released, and help edit it for more accurate data. Be sure to include any update version of Lion post release that you have found is or is not compatible with it, for the help of others who may be upgrading to Lion the first time. Additionally, as it was released, there is no Rosetta. This means any application that is stated to be PowerPC in the System Profiler, will not work with Lion, and needs a comparable application or upgrade to be compatible. The System Profiler is in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info. Intel and Universal applications are on the whole supported, though may still need some tweaking before every feature is compatible.
    Q: Are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
    A: With all upgrades, backing up your data at least twice has been a given. Hardware can fail independently of downloads and upgrades, though may happen simultaneously. Software may be found to be incompatible that has not been tested with the new upgrade, or combination of other software that might be installed with the upgrade. It is also strongly recommended once your backup is complete, to shut down your computer, remove all but Apple wired keyboard and mouse (notebooks remove all input devices). Then once done, reboot, and go directly to the upgrade distribution system available. Third party system tools, modification, and "maintenance" applications should be verified as compatible, or removed until known to be compatible. Check with developers how to remove if it is essential to use Lion before those applications become compatible. Most "maintenance" tools that deal with system cache, prebinding, are not really maintenance tools. Ask on forum when are the appropriate times to use them before assuming they should be used for upgrades or otherwise.
    Q: How can I get from 10.4 or 10.5 to 10.6.6?
    A: Purchase a 10.6 retail installer from an Apple retail or third party reseller. It has a picture of a Snow Leopard on the DVD, and does not say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. Install it, and then install the 10.6.6 combo update from:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    Q: Is it true that I can only get it from the Mac App Store?
    A: Presently this truth is based on current documentation as of the writing of this article. It may change, but we can't speculate as to its change. It has a better chance of changing if users request something different at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Q: What limitations might one encounter if it doesn't change?
    A: First off the 7 GB space limitation on the hard disc after it is installed. Secondly, the size of the download file requires significant time, unless you have a high speed broadband connection. Times expected are below -
    4 GB at:
    5Mbps is 2 hours.
    at 1 Mbps is 10 hours.
    at 384 kbps is 27 hours.
    at 56k kbps is 184 hours (nearly 8 days).
    If you include the 10.6.6 combo update of 1.06 GB
    add 29 minutes for 5 Mbps
    145 minutes (2 and 25 minutes) for 1 Mbps
    6 and a half hours for 384kbps
    A 24 hour day and 15 hours (for a total of a minimum of 39 hours) for 56kbps
    Remember the retail 10.6 currently does not include the App Store, and those upgrading from 10.5.8 or earlier will need to both buy the retail 10.6, and download the combo 10.6.6 update, not to mention ensure they have the correct processor and 2 GB of RAM. Finally once it is available, you'll have find out how long approximately it takes to install after the download is complete.
    These times do not include installation time, which on a MacBook Pro 3,1 15" installing on a Firewire 800 Newertech Voyager with WD10ACS-322J80 drive, 10.6.7, took 1 hour and a half to complete the installation from double clicking the install command to the registration screen. These times may vary by connection speeds from a non-dedicated connection, or background application usage of the internet. Any applications running when the installation process begins might interfere with the installation itself, and they should be quit first.
    The installer just before it starts has in its package contents an InstallESD.dmg file a DVD burnable image to install on additional computers in the home without downloading over again. So if you desire to reinstall without an extra internet download, extract that file, by selecting the installer in the dock, and control-clicking it, and revealing it in the Finder. Next Control-mouse click it, and select show package contents. Inside that folder is a Shared Support folder. That's where you find the DMG.
    Q: If I purchased a Mac recently, can I get it cheaper?
    A: Yes, visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ for details.
    Q: When will Lion become available?
    A: It became available July 20, 2011.
    Q: Which Macs can run Lion?
    A: Look at Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info, and see if you meet the Machine ID and RAM requires under the hardware. 2 GB is required for all These Machine IDs will run Lion:
    Mac Mini 2,1 and later
    MacBook 2,1 and later.
    iMac 5,1 and later.
    All MacBook Air.
    MacBook Pro 2,1 and later
    All MacPros.
    The Macs with the Machine IDs below will not run Lion (x can be any number):
    Mac Mini 1,x or PowerMac x,x
    MacBook 1,x
    MacBook Pro 1,x
    iMac 4,x, 3,x, 2,x, 1,x

  • I am running 10.6.8 but can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor 1.83 GB memory. What should I do?

    My MacBook software is 10.6.8 but I can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB memory. What to do?

    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • I have a macbook air with osx 10.6.8 and it has a 1.4 GHz intel core duo processor and 2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. I want to use icloud but am afraid buying the version of osx that is required will bog my computer speed down, or change the user inerface. I

    I am not computer savy and like my macbook air because as a college student, and father that is very busy, I don't have to learn to re-use it every month after it crashes from a virus. Am I able to load the new version of osx that icloud requires onto this computer without changing it substantially or slowing it down?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • Can I upgrade to Lion on my 2 GZ Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro?

    I am running Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro and cant seem to figure out how to upgrade to Lion.  Mountain Lion is not compatible with this machine, but maybe Lion is?  How to do this?

    You need 2 GB RAM at least, but 4 GB is a better working amount.  You can buy more RAM at macsales.com and crucial.com for proces you will like, and can find instructions for replacing it.
    Read this for application that do not work under Lion:  http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Make a *very* good backup before upgrading.  I suggest a clone with CarbonCopyClone ($40 download).  This will make a "bootable" backup that can be used to reload SL in case of failure during upgrade.
    There is also SuperDuper, but at last report it does not clone the "Recovery Partition" of Lion that CCC will backup.  Buying a clone package that work with Lion for future backups is a good idea.
    You can call 1-800-676-2775 to buy a download code to use in MacAppStore.
    But read the compatibility list first to see if you will lose apps.  If you do, you can always keep an external disk with SL on it OR load Lion on a separate partition in your internal drive and choose which one to boot.

  • I've a hand down black MacBook OSX10.5.8 , how can I upgrade to snow leopard, it's 2GHz intel core duo, 1GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM

    According to visit to genius bar, they told me its not support, I gotta buy a new Mac! I don't actually need it, but would like to have iCloud option, bc my iCal doesn't syn with any of my iPhone 4 or iPad 2.

    The model 1,1 Core Duo can only run in 32 bit. Lion only runs in 64 bit which needs a Core 2 Duo model 2,1 or better which can run in 32 or 64 bit.
    Here's the specs on your MacBook http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook_2.0_white.html

  • Is there a preferred format of XML that can be laoded into an Oracle table?

    XML files vary quite a bit. From mere fragments to file carrying schema, etc. What is the preferred format of an XML file that can be loaded into an Oracle table assuming that the Schema agrees with the table structure.
    It does not seem to load an XML file even with W3C namespace and all.
    Krishnaswamy Jayaram

    With XE there is XML support in the database but no XQuery, JNDI, or Servlet support.
    If you give a specific example it could be helpful, here are simple write and read tests on XE;
    HR on 20/03/2006 10:28:22 at XE > CREATE TABLE xml_tab (xmlval XMLTYPE);
    Table created.
    HR on 20/03/2006 10:28:31 at XE > INSERT INTO xml_tab VALUES (
    2 XMLTYPE.CREATEXML(’

  • Can I run CS5 on a Intel Core Duo

    Don't know or I wouldn't be asking. Seems smart to check before I download 20 gigs of Software for a 4 year old machine.

  • I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

    I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

    Thanks, PAHU, for providing the Australian site for the Canon driver.  I have an MP500 and it still seemed to print fine after I downloaded Yosemite.  However, as others have reported, the MP Navigator no longer performed normally in scanning. The "Save As" keys didn't align and therefore didn't work but one could still scan using an alternative method ("Scan with scanner driver" button).
    In any case, my hard drive subsequently failed on this 2010 27" iMac and when it was replaced the tech installed Yosemite 10.10.1.  Just tried printing this evening and it wouldn't.  Advised I needed undefined "software." Got various error messages.  Went to Google and read this and downloaded that to no avail.  Tried the Gutenprint driver but it too didn't work. Latest error was "stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter."  Had no clue what that meant!  System info listing for the printer (under About this Mac, System Info) lacked any reference to permissions or a printer utility version (but I didn't notice or know significance of omissions).  Finally I downloaded from the Australian site, just the print driver 10.51.2.  The printer then printed!!!  (The MP Navigator scanner remains flawed but works by clicking "Scan with scanner driver" rather than the normal way.)  I'm holding my breath that things will continue to work.
    Thanks again, PAHU, for your help, and Greg and Pam and Andy too!

  • Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading sites, it tries to load to Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I stop this?

    Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading some sites, it tries to load and then gets taken over trying to load Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I get rid of this, it is a "pain in the neck"
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    I just spent 3 days with this issue as well. I finally fixed it by reluctantly adding yet another add-on called ADBLOCK
    I was able to selectively block google-analytics. Now pages that weren't loading before are now loading.
    eg vimeo.com starbucks.com & other random sites.
    This was a tough one to fix because there is NO ERROR MESSAGE..page just shows it's loading...forever..& the bottom of my browser says 'waiting for google analytics'. I finally figured out google analytics is the culprit. Ironically, some help pages in trying to find a fix wouldn't load for me due to google analytics arghhh!
    Im on a macbookpro & Safari worked fine for these same sites. It was just Firefox. I nearly switched back to Safari because of this stupid issue.
    I'm wondering if this was caused by recent firefox 'updates'...
