Mac mini 2007 Intel Core Dou Intall problem

I have an Apple Mac mini (2007, Intel Core Duo), with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5). I installed this software via the original installer DVD, but i could intall combo update (it downloaded it, and after restarting it stops on the blue screen with the blue loading line [but it didnt load], it tried to install allnight long), and Snow Leopard (10.6) also.

Unfortunately your Mac Mini is too old for 10.8 or later.

    Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

  • How do I update OSX 10.6.8 to 10.7 on a Mac Mini with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM?

    I have an older Mac Mini but it has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor that I thought would work to update from 10.6.8 to 10.7 - but Lion is no longer available to download on the App Store, Is there any way to do it?

    If you have a Early or Late 2009 MacMini3,1 or newer you can upgrade to Mavericks for free by using the App Store.
    You should also consider maximizing your RAM.

  • MAC MINI 2GHz INTEL CORE DUO 10.5.8 SOFTWARE UPGRADE

    Hi,
    I would like to upgrade my mac mini operating system to mountain lion. Can somebody tell me what I have to do.
    Many thanks

    A Core Solo or Core Duo Mac can't run Mountain Lion. If you happen to have a compatible Mac(there are no Core Duo 2GHz Mac minis), phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, run Software Update, and get it from the Mac App Store.

  • Can I install tiger on mac mini with intel core?

    tech specs for mac mini model MMB139LL//AA iindicate ttiger iin ssoftware bbut I cant do clean install

    You must use the 10.4.10 (8R3014) System Disc that came with that Mini, or a later OS X (Leopard, Snow Leopard) Retail Upgrade Disc to do a clean install.
    See > Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2 overheating and turning off

    I've been having this nasty problem with my Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2 (2.8 Ghz, 4 MB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, bought in August 2009) for quite a while, but recently it's intensifying.
    It starts to overheat badly, and then randomly turns itself off if not connected to the power.
    When restarted, the clock is set to January 1st, 2001.
    Needless to say, the overheating impacts on my capacity to use the computer the way I want, destroying my fps in games and slowing the processor while I use Ableton Live to produce music.
    I tried to look around, but I cannot figure out if this is a known issue of some sorts, or a problem related to this very computer: I did read on the forums a suggestion to run the Hardware Tests from the Snow Leopard DVD by booting the system with the DVD in while holding d, but nothing happens if I do so.
    Thank you all in advance!

  • My mac has a intel core duo, not a intel 2 core duo, can I still upgrade to lion

    My Mac has an intel core duo processor, will I still be able to upgrade to Lion? What do I need to do if I can't?

    I have a similar question.
    I have a 2006 xeon macpro.
    Will i beable to upgrade to lion.
    I saw this on the website today.
    Step 1:Make sure your Mac can run Lion.
    Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac.
    Here is what i have.
      Processor Name:          Dual-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:          2.66 GHz
    Will i be good to upgrade?
    Thanks

    Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
    I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Hi, My Mac Mini 2006 early core Duo hangs when i try to connect wirlessly to ZyXEL VMG B Series i am using fresh install Mac OS 10.6.3 2Gb of RAM

    Hi, My Mac Mini 2006 early core Duo
    hangs when i try to connect wirlessly to
    ZyXEL VMG B Series.
    I am using fresh install Mac OS 10.6.3 with
    2Gb of RAM.
    The same issue when i try to hooked up with LAN cable.
    Any tips and adviced will be very very welcome, thanks in advanced to everyone!

    Hey there cutyscar,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect to your router either by Wi-Fi, or ethernet. I would recommend trying the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
    Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1317
    Start with this step, and work your way down as needed:
    Check all cables and power supplies
    Make sure all the cables related to the modem are plugged in and firmly inserted. This includes the modem's power cord, the cable from the modem to the computer, and the cable from the modem to the outlet. To be sure a connector is properly inserted, disconnect and reconnect it. Check to see if the cables have been cut, chewed, or otherwise damaged.
    If you have any hubs or routers, check their cables and power supplies. If you have more than one power supply available for a type of hub or router, try swapping the power supplies. A defective power supply may affect network traffic.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • My mac mini late 2012 is having resolution problems?

    My mac mini late 2012 is having resolution problems?
    Tried resetting PRAM and SMC but still nothing works.
    Sometimes is goes back to normal. But then suddenly when I startup or wake up from sleep it changes to resolution 800x600 and stays there..
    I'm using my Thunderbolt port with my minidisplay port to vga, because i don't have a HD monitor.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hmmm, not sure on the startup, but on the sleep angle...
    Well first...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Then maybe...
    See if it's related to this...
    The 2012 macs (and later apparently) not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...
