MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo cannot use the wirless but

Dear expertise
I brought a MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS10.4.10 cannot use the wirless via router. However, when I installed the Window xp in my macbook, I can connect with the wireless via the same router (the security mode has WEP, WPA Pre-shared key & WPA radius), . I reset the router in no Encryption, reset, let the macbook (in window xp) access the internet, and then change the router in WEP. Finally it can connect! But in OSX , it still doesn't work.
Please give me some advice. Thanks a lot!

Use WPA preshared key instead of WEP. WEP can be cracked within a few minutes. Plus with WPA you really just have to enter the passphrase from the router on the Mac. It is not so complicated compared to WEP.
With WEP you cannot use the passphrase from the router on the Mac. You have to enter the WEP key. Use the first WEP key. Also make sure that you have selected transfer key 1 if the router has this option.
On the Mac you have to enter the WEP key with an "$" sign in front. This tells the Mac that you enter a hexadecimal WEP key, e.g. $A1B2C3D4E5

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

Refurbished MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Black (Nov 27)

I just bought on the 27th of November 2007 a Refurbished Black MacBook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I was just wondering if it is a Late 2007 MacBook, since it's a refurbished product, and if it has Santa Rosa.
Also, I've bought from ebay 4GB of ram for it (2X2GB). Will it be able to recognize all 4GB? the new (not refurbished) MacBooks available in the Apple store at the moment support up to 4GB.
So what I'm asking is:
Is my Refurbished Macbook the latest model that is out?

Isn't that the sort of question you should ask before you buy something?

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.

You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.

You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

HT1338 I have purchased TurboTax and my MacBook is telling me that I cannot use the TurboTax I have on my Mac OS...can anyone help me?

I have purchased TurboTax and my MacBook is telling me that I cannot use the TurboTax I have on my Mac OS...can anyone help me?

TurboTax this year requires OS X 10.6.8 as the minimum operating system. It also requires the system be running in 64bit mode with OS X 10.6.8.
You can purchase OS X 10.6 from the Apple online store by calling them at 800-MY-APPLE, or you can order it online too. Install, run software update until no more updates are available, and you'll be at OS X 10.6.8.
See this thread to enable running in 64 bit mode.

Macbook 2.0 intel core duo ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS HELP PLS

This all started last week. In an effort to be more economical, I decided to keep my macbook and not get a new one. The battery was not doing well...so i bought a new one. I purchased Leopard and tried to install it...it installed but after it just stayed stuck on the gray apple screen. I tried troubleshooting. I reinstalled Tiger that came with it and it had the same problems. Anyways...a couple days ago I tried to reinstall Tiger again and it started working. I have been having problems with the rainbow wheel coming up all the time...so I figured maybe the ram is bad. I ordered new ram from crucial. I got it today and installed it and now the macbook will not even power up. I followed the troubleshoot guidelines and even installed the old ram again nothing.
So, I'm stuck. Is the logic board again? I had it replaced like 7 months after getting the macbook and now it is out of warranty. Please help. Thanks

Martin,
Since you say it worked to some degree but then not at all after installing new RAM and then after reinstalling the old RAM it would not even work as well as it had prior to the RAM installs, then it sounds like one possibility could be that the logic board is failing do to cracked circuit traces (caused by thermal cycling) and the removing and reinstalling the RAM exacerbated the problem.
The next thing I would try to do would be to cool down the computer to 50F or so and try it. Next try heating it up to 90F or so and try again. The temperature changes can affect a defective logic board. Not that this will solve your problem, but it can tend to validate the possibility of a defective board.

I'm running OS10.6.8 on an "old" Macbook Pro with Intel Core Duo 32. My work computer is down and I need to use Photoshop and cannot find a version that will run on here! It lets me use Illustrator 10, Indesign CS6, but Photoshop 4, 5, 5.5 and I can't get

Please help.

Your macbook pro has a 32 bit processor and not a 64 bit processor?
If so, i believe photoshop cs5 is the newest photoshop version that will work on your Macbook Pro.
System requirements | Photoshop
You can get a 30 day trial trial version of photoshop cs5 from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
Also, photoshop cs through cs4 should work as well, but cs3, cs4 and cs5 will run better since cs and cs2 require Rosetta and can be kinda slow at times.

You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo" My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

Macbook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Windows install advice

I find myself after 20 years using mac's needing to run a windows program. I have Macbook pro 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo and was wondering if anyone can tell me if parallels or fusion works better on this machiene. Also i see some folks here feel Windows 7 is the way to go. Any advice would be appreciated.
tks in advance for any advice
-R-

A lot of the answer really depends upon you and your usage.
VMWare Fusion, and Parallels Desktop both work well, nad each ahs its strengths and weaknesses. I have used Fusion v3, 4, & 5, as well as Parlallels v 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8. I got my first copy of Parallels when I got my first MacBook Pro as a bundle deal along with a Windows XP Pro license. For my usage, I find that Parallels seems to be more "efficient" (it runs a little faster) but Fusion seems to be a bit more stable, and supports a slightly broader collection of hardware peripherals. Luckily for you, both packages offer a free trial before you buy the software, so you can test them both to see which works best for you. You could also consider using VirtualBox (a free tool much like Fusion or Parallels), or even Boot Camp if you need the "raw power" of running the system in native mode with no emulation overhead.
As for What version of Windows you run, it would really depend upon what licenses you have, and what your Windows software requires. some Windows software still requires Windows XP, some requires Windows 7 or later. Since you didn't mention your Windows app, I can't say for it.
In the end, it depends upon you, what you want, what you need, and what you are willing to pay for.
