Leopard Installation on iMac Intel C2D 2.4GHz, 3 GB RAM

Dear mac friends:
I just bought Leopard this morning, I haven't installed yet
I hear a lot of problems, mainly with older machines than mine
One of the mac genius's told me that with 3 GB of RAM that I have ( I added 2 to the one already in), Leopard should fly through smoothly
Any recommendations apart form a good back up before I start?
Sincerely
CPK MD, Bear, DE

Installed Leopard WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, thanks

Problem upgrading OSX 10.4.11 to leopard on my iMac (intel)

I'm trying to upgrade OSX 10.4.11 to leopard on my iMac (intel) I need to do this so I can update iTunes to sync with the iPhone 4. I'm getting the same error each time I try to install "OSX cannot be installed on this computer". Can anyone help with this?

I would max out the RAM first, 2 GB is not really enough Memory.
You don't have to go to Leopard 1st, you can go to Snow Leopard, then Lion if you want.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they might still have it...

If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
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 6 GB
    •    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 50 GB.
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.

What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"?

After updating to Snow Leopard on my iMac (Intel) DVDs not recognized

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

Issues: Snow Leopard Install on imac(intel)

I am trying to help my brother out. I am out of the game as far as mac goes, it has been a number of years since i have worked on them.
1. He deleted the Mac HD with the 10.5 install
2. The imac now boots to the typical question mark folder[?]
- This is due to it not finding the OS files since the HD was deleted
3. Snow Leopard DVD won't boot
- holding c
4. Though maybe the Bluetooth keyboard/mouse may be an issue
- borrowed a wired keyboard, still wireless mouse
What the **** are we doing wrong?

A copy may not boot. To make a bootable DVD is not as simple as simply duplicating the files on the disk, there are structures outside the regular directory structure that need to be written to make a disk bootable.
Obtain an original retail OS X DVD and use that.

Imac intel core duo 20" bug graphics

bonjour,
jespere que vous comprenez le francais
j'ai un imac intel core duo 2ghz, 1go de ram dd2 osx 10,4,9
j'ai un soucis quand je joue a world of warcraft, l'ecran se brouille, ne nombreux traits apparaissent, impossible de voir en fait le jeu correctement, obligé de faire un pomme+m et de revenir en full screen apres, et ca repart.
sachant que le jeu passe en full quality a 30fps a peu pres, j'ai essayé de tout baissé au niveau qualité et rien a faire.
je n'est pas eut le temps d'essayer d'autres jeux.
je n'est pas essayer en redemarrant sous windobe.
l'ordinateur est encore sous garantie.
dites moi tout ce que vous savez
merci d'avance.
a bientot.

Depends on how intensive you plan on getting with the iMac. For the most part, it should run pretty well. When the Adobe products become universal they should fly. I currently run all the same software plus Maya on my iMac G5 2.1 GHZ w/o a problem, so they should run just as well on the intel (more so when all apps become universal). I actually plan on selling the G5 and picking up the intel version so I can run boot camp and 3D Max as as well.

Upgrade from 10.4.11 to leopard on White 24"intel iMac?

I am totally new to MACs and purchased a white Intel iMac for my daughter. It came with a Leopard upgrade or install disc. What is the preferred method to upgrade the system? I have nothing in data at all, its brand new. Should I just do the upgrade from the disc, or an erase and install or archive and install?
For example, does leopard work better with a fresh install or does it make no difference compared with an upgrade install? Any help appreciated. I am afraid to put leopard on it because it works great now and starts up in a unbelievable 15 seconds from power on to cruise-in the net.

In your case you must do an Upgrade install as that is the only option for an Upgrade disc. I would do the following:
First,
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
Next, continue with Leopard upgrade and follow the instructions provided.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger and Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Can I use my Macbook Leopard Installation DVD's on my iMac?

Ok so I bought a new macbook yesterday and it has leopard. Can I use the leopard installation dvd's that it came with on my intel imac? Is this possible, or will the leopard installation dvd's not allow this?
Cheers!

The disks that come with the computer are only usable on that computer. The 10.5 upgrade disk may work on other machines but doing so would be in violation of the license which is for one computer. If you want to install on multiple machines you can get a five user "Family Pack" for $199

Hello, I have iMAC 7,1, 20 inch, 4gigs of ram, Intel C2D perfectly runing OS Mavericks (10.9.5), will update to Yosemite, slow down my iMac?

Hello, I have iMAC 7,1, 20 inch,
4gigs of ram,
Intel C2D
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
HDD 320gig's
iMAC is perfectly runing OS Mavericks (10.9.5), with no lag, and no sluggish working, Multitasking is AWESOME (i have PC, with 8gigs of RAM, GeForce GTX570, etc etc), but i must say this MAC is running way better a way way, faster and I am Loving it!!! I am using it for making music, and video editing, i am Using Final Cut Pro x, Ableton 9, Logic Pro x, and bunch of other apps and it is working perfectly, and i am so shocked how machine old like this can do that stuff better than any PC i had, and not to mention that I use more time on iMAC than on PC, i use Windows PC just for occasional gaming, but that is like 10% of time, so i use my MAC in 90% of time.
So, enough of my iMAC. I am wondering if I update it to Yosemite, will my iMac slow down, and not continue to work like on Mavericks? Will it become sluggish and unresponsive? Will it affect reliability and stability which have on Mavericks? And will update delete my personal data (tons of Logic, Ableton and Garage band projects, and tons of Final Cut Pro projects), Applications (because I have some apps which is hard to find these days)...
I know bunch of you guys would tell me to backup my data, but i don't have External hard drive (they are pretty expensive in my Country), I have some friend who could borrow me External HDD, but they have their data on it, and they mostly use windows.. I did not use Time Machine yet, but i think probably it would format HDD on Macs partitions, so, i will do it on my own guys (don't judge me about that guys please)..
So if someone could answer me that, i will really appreciate that.
Thank you, and best Regards!!
Boris

I recommend you upgrade your RAM to at least 8 GB for good performance with the apps you're using. Also keep a minimum of 25-30 GB of free space on your boot drive for optimal system and application performance.
The maximum RAM a 7.1 iMac can address is 6GB, the OP can keep one of the 2GB DIMMs and then add a matching 4GB DIMM. If the OP decides to do this, please only purchase from Crucial or OWC at www.MacSales.com.
However as described on a 8 year old iMac, I'd stay with Mavericks and then when considering upgrading upgrade to a more up-to-date Mac.

How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

How to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel)?

I would like to have Snow Leopard, Mavericks with built-in recovery, and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) on my iMac (Intel). Is this possible? If so, how? Currently, I have Snow Leopard and Windows 7 (Bootcamp) running on my iMac. I have enough disk space to split my Snow Leopard partition. I have read that if I split my Snow Leopard partition, clone my Snow Leopard partition to the new partition, and boot to the new partition, that I may have problems with the Maverick's upgrade because it may not be able to create the recovery parition, or that it may erase the Windows partition, or that it may mess up the Windows boot process.

Simplest is to install Mavs on an ext HD, using FW or TB. I don't do windoze, so can't advise about the Boot Camp and multiple volumes issue. Since there's no Boot Camp, I have four volumes running SL through Mavs.

My iMac 20"/Intel C2D 2.4 Doesn't Detect my Sanyo Xacti FH1A.

My iMac 20"/Intel C2D 2.4 Doesn't Detect my *_+Sanyo Xacti FH1A+_* (1920x1080 60p/60i/MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) Camcorder.
I followed exactly my Xacti manual, but nothing happens.
From Mini USB (Xacti Camcoder) to USB (iMac)...nothing!
After connecting the USB, In my Camcoder's screen, it says, *"Hard disk is not Connected."* & *"Disconnect USB converter cable if not using XACTI Library."*
Is this an Apple issue or a Sanyo issue?
Thanks!

Hi, first thing I would do is try connecting the Sanyo to another Mac.
On your Mac try going the SMC route:- http://macosx.com/forums/howto-faqs/302002-reset-system-management-controller-sm c.html
Try another connecting cable - Look on the FAQ (Sanyo Site)->http://sanyo.com/xacti/english/products/vpc_fh1a/index.html..........L

Upgrade from tiger to leopard on an Imac with no intel duo???

Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Tiger to Leopard to an iMac with no Intel Core Duo?
It's the third generation of iMac's right before the duo came out? I want to upgrade but not sure if it will work/

Absolutely! The only OS that needs intel is Snow Leopard, 10.6.xx You can certainly upgrade to the last iteration of Leopard [10.5.8.combo update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058com boupdate.html] without any problem. Just make sure you have maxed out your RAM.

L'installation de la dernière version de Flash Player ne fonctionne pas sur mon iMac Intel Core 2 Duo avec Mavericks 10.9.4 !

Bonjour à la Communauté,
Le téléchargement de la dernière version de Flash Player ne veut pas fonctionner sur mon iMac Intel Core 2 Duo avec Mavericks 10.9.4. Cela ne fonctionnait d'ailleurs pas sur Mavericks 10.9.3 quand la mise à jour de Flash Player est sortie.
Je télécharge sans souci le fichier à partir du site d'Adobe mais ensuite quand je clique sur l'installateur à partir du Bureau, la fenêtre qui s'ouvre est normale puis quand je double-clique sur le fichier la fenêtre suivante de couleur noire qui signifie le téléchargement de la nouvelle version ne fonctionne pas car la barre de défilement du téléchargement ne s'affiche pas. En fait le fonctionnement du fichier en provenance d'Adobe ne répond pas !
J'ai suivi les conseils du site d'Adobe en examinant le fichier de l'installateur et je m'aperçois que dans le fichier "Resources" ne figure pas le fichier du package nécessaire à l'installation seule apparait l'icône du Plugin...????
Salutations,
Michel

Bonjour,
Merci pour ce lien qui a bien fonctionné en apparence puisque j'ai bien retrouvé le fichier du package dans les ressources et que l'installation s'est bien déroulée au vue des tests effectués sur les pages ad hoc d'Adobe.
Comment se fait-il que l'on soit obligé de repasser par Macromedia pour assurer un bon téléchargement de ce fichier sachant que le système de téléchargement automatique d'Adobe aurait dû bien fonctionné comme auparavant ?
Par ailleurs, je tiens à souligner qu'il manque semble-t-il quelques éléments dans cette mise à jour voir pour cela la capture d'écran ci-dessous :
dans la fenêtre des "Préférences Système" : à la rubrique "Mises à jour" de Flash Player et du bouton "rechercher maintenant" il y a une mention qui dit que la version 14.0.0.145 du module d'extension NPAPI est... puis en dessous : le module d'extension PPAPI n'est pas installé !???
Qu'est-ce que cela signifie-t-il ? Y a-t-il encore un bud au téléchargement ou bien est-ce Apple qui bloque certains fichiers ?

I have an iMac Intel 2 Duo with Mac 0SX Snow Leopard downloaded. Can I upgrade to the new mountain lion

I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed. Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?

Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).
