Lion for Imac G5 Intel Core Duo

I understand that upgrading to Lion needs Intel chipset. I have an Imac G5 Core Duo (currently running OSX 10.5.8), but not the Core 2 Duo that's listed in the Lion specs. Will Lion work with Intel Core Duo? I realize that I'll need to put Snow Leopard on first.
Thx / AWL

Lion won't work on a G5 or Core Duo Mac.

I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, what is possible with Lion

I have an iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo, is that possible to operate Lion with this iMac

Here is the information about downloading Lion when it is released in July.

If you don't meet these requirements, as of now, you wouldn't be able to run Lion. If anything changes, I am sure Apple will let us know.

Adobe Air on iMac G5 Intel Core Duo 2133

I have just tried to download an update to Adobe Air and been notified that the updates will no longer work on my iMac.
This is the quote from their web site :
Adobe will be discontinuing support of PowerPC-based computers and the Windows 2000 operating system for Adobe AIR and will no longer provide security updates for Adobe AIR on these operating systems.
As I have an Intel based machine is this the PowerPC model they talk about?
What on earth do I have to do now? Do I delete Adobe Air and make several applications useless? I am starting to get downloadable things that use the latest Adobe Air....

Your signature says: 867 MHz PowerPC G4
Your thread title says iMac G5 Intel Core Duo 2133. There is no such thing. It is either an Intel imac or a PPC G5 iMac.
As I have an Intel based machine is this the PowerPC model they talk about?
Obviously, if what you quote is accurate.
Please clarify what Mac you actually have, and what operating system you use (you quote Panther).

Can I run Lion on on a Intel Core Duo computer?

Can I run Lion on on a Intel Core Duo computer?
I have on of the Intel Core Duo macbook.
I hope on othe apple people can answer that for me.

This is my Macbook and I seem to be able to run a depleted Lion operating system on it
no full screen on some applications. no response to multi swipe actions, No Air Drop. and so on and so on. Also when it loaded it stalled with no real information and i had to go to reload Lion which then instigated further download of 6 minutes to load a slightly amended copy of Lion. thought i had lost all my info but it did all reappear
It does have Launchpad and Mission Control but i seem to have lost my Isight camera in Photo booth and Skype. this has happened occasionaly before and a reboot brings it back for a while.
Ah well Is it time to up grade the laptop?? Do i need a laptop?? Anyway ill keep this one for a bit and see how it goes at least some of the changes work.

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.

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.

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.

Dithered Colors in iPhoto 6 on iMac 20" Intel Core Duo with 1.5GB RAM

Hi.
I have a 20" iMac Intel Core Duo. Shoot at 100 ISO, sRGB, with a Canon Digital Rebel XT in a studio setting. When viewing the images in iPhoto they have a noticeable dithering on the colors, especially on the seamless. Sometimes it's bad.
If I view them full screen in Comparison mode I see it there, too. Detail is intact, but the colors dither. Doesn't happen in Photoshop CS2, and I don't remember if it happens in Preview...
Any ideas of what is going on?

Scott:
Are you running the latest Quicktime version, 7.1.5? If not that may have something to do with it. Also what color profile are the files assigned? You can check that out by viewing them with Preview and using the Summary pane of the Info window there. Are you shoot RAW and importing those files? If so there may be addition issues that I can't help you with although as I understand it iPhoto creates a jpg file from the RAW file upon import and that's what you're working with.
Make sure your monitor is set to millions. Although since CS2 doesn't show that effect I'm guessing it is set to that. But check anyway.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Imac 2Ghz Intel Core Duo to Philips Flat Screen TV

Appears I know even less about iMAc than I thought! Learn something new everyday!!
Hi, I have used the forums to search for info in the past and they are a great source of info.
I am trying to look for ways to link my Imac Intel Core Duo (with OSX 10.5.8 and GB Ram + a Dvi output for video) (which is in a cupboard which I record music) to my TV (which is in a far more comfortable environment!)
As the cupboard is next to the living room my bluetooth keyboard and mouse will be usuable on the mac but I want to see the display on the TV!
Is this possible?
The TV is a Philips 32PFL5522D(user manual http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/3/32pfl5522d05/32pfl5522d_05_dfueng.pdf)
Cabling it would be OK but messy. Wireless would be perfect!
Dont know how to do either though!
Any hints, tips or suggestions would be gratefully received
Cheers
Neil

I have leopard and want to upgrade to lion. I have a macbook about 3 years old and wonder if I should just get a new macbook pro ($$$) instead. Is it worth the headache to upgrade to snow leopard and then lion? How does lion perform on an intel core duo 2

I have a macbook about 3 years old running leopard. I amwondering ifitwouldbeworth the trouble to install snowleopardand then lion ($60.00) or just buy a new macbook pro ($$$$$$). How does lion perform on an intel core 2 duo processor?

I have Lion installed on a Mini with a C2D processor. The same Mini has Snow Leopard on another partition and there is no noticeable difference in operational speed between the two OS's. But compared to my new MBPro 17" with a 2.83GHz i7, the Mini running Lion is noticeably slower. So if you can afford anew MBPro, then I would get it because you will probably be unhappy with the performance of Lion on the older MBPro. The other benefit of getting a new MBPro with Lion is that if you have any Power PC applications currently on the old MBPro, which will not operate in Lion, then you still have the ability to use them. Many users got stung by upgrading to Lion, only to find they could no longer use the older PPC applications.

Wireless N upgrade for Macbook pro Intel Core Duo (Purchased 8/2006)???

Firstly, I am a little angered that apple has not come out with any directly supported options to allow people with my macbook pro to upgrade to the new wireless N capability.
Therefore I have found a 3rd party option that is being offered by fastmac (http://fastmac.com/ncard.php) that will allow for wireless N wifi.
My only concern is if having this installed (professionally by them or by an authorized reseller, say compusa) would cause my entire applecare warranty to be voided or just the part that covers the wireless card. I could deal with having the wireless card voided as it would be under warranty by fast mac...

Your warranty is not voided by installing the Airport card. However, any damage that may be caused by the installation of the card would not be covered under the warranty.
Secondly, the Airport Extreme card that supports 802.11n is available as an upgrade kit for Mac Pros. Some Apple dealers may be able to obtain and install the card for you in your computer.

Replace hard drive iMac 20" intel core duo

How to do it? (see title)

Very carefully.. It is not easy and a lot of other things can go wrong.
see > iMac Intel 20" EMC 2105 and 2118 Repair - iFixit
Study the iFixit step by step Hard Drive Replace DIY several times before digging in.
As a precaution, be warned that the iSight/Mic cable, Display cables, SATA cable, Sensor cables and all of the Board connections are very brittle from heat and age.
On the up side: I have had real good luck using the WD Caviar Blue Hard Drives in the Early Core Duo models, they run cooler and quieter than the OEM Hard Drives.

Apple iMac 20" Intel Core Duo 2007 (October) - White Screen Bootup

Hello guys, apologies if anyone has opened a thread similar to this. I know its a common problem but I haven't got a clear answer.
Basically, I bought an iMac today off eBay 'spares or repair'. Knowingly, it has a white screen at boot problem. I though to myself, I know abit about Macs ie resetting PRAM, SMC, boot keys to force boot from USB, DVD etc. However nothing I have tried is working. This is what I have experienced so far...
* Turn iMac on, chord chimes once. Computer enters white screen but with NO APPLE LOGO, and NO CURSER. It looks as if its about to boot up. But nothing, it doesn't get past this stage. As I write this, my screen has been white for the past 30 minutes no change.
*I can hear a fan kicking in, or it maybe the hard drive...im not sure. However certainly no clicks, grinding, whirring sounds.
*Reset PRAM holding alt, apple, P, R. It goes through the chimes x 3. When buttons are released, it again stalls at white screen.
*Reset SMC, unplugged all peripherals and power overnight. Held down power for 10-20 seconds. No change.
*Have removed RAM, turned on computer and I get loud electronic beeps indicating the logic board recognises no RAM. Could be a good sign the logic board has signs of life? Also tried swapping RAM sticks around, no change.
*Tried booting form DVD, holding CMD C, also CMD D...nothing works. However the keyboard definitely works because I can eject the disc. So the computer is showing signs of life, just no display.
*Tried booting from USB stick with OSX Lion pre installed, holding down OPTION did nothing.
*The previous owner told me he replaced the graphics card with a known good one. So it kind of rules that out, but this doesn't look like a graphics problem to me. But I'm no expert!
I read somewhere on another forum that the hard drive can fail in such a way, that you cannot boot from another device. So if it fails, your only option is to unplug the hard drive so it forces the computer to look elsewhere. Not sure if this is true, but I'm willing to try anything! So I've just ordered some cheap torx drives and suction cups to remove the screen and have a look into the hard drive. I was going to replace the standard HD with an SSD anyway so I am hoping this is the culprit.
PLEASE, if anybody can help point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful! Many thanks in advance.
P.S - For your information, I also have a 2008 white MacBook, and a WIndows 8.1 PC I can use for test / diagnostic purposes if anyone knows how, or has any ideas?
Regards
Nick

Hi Selia
The first thing you need to do is backup at least your precious Photo's, Docs and Music in your User Folder to an External HD if your not already backed up using Time Machine, Disk Utility, Super Duper or Carbon Cloner.
Then run the Apple Hardware Test and TechTool if you have Apple Care.

My iMac A1173 intel core duo 1.83 GHz is beyond sluggish

Everything I try to do with my iMac seems to be taking forever (no really, it's slow)
I checked out what I could with the system profiler and it says everything is good to go... albeit, it took an hour just to go through the list. Safari takes forever to upload a page (for example, I'm working from my macBook Pro now 'cause typing this on the iMac was just too painful. The little blue dot in the dock no longer shows when an application is open... I bought this computer in August of 2006... don't tell me it's time for a new one... Can someone show me the steps to take to see what the problem is?
Thanks

Just downloaded the java update... things seem better now... anyone know if the two are related?
