MacBook Air 13" Core 2 Duo showing only 1 GB RAM

My MacBook 13" Mid 2010 Core 2 duo shows only 1 GB RAM

What CT stated is that yes if what you see is accurate you have a bad RAM chip. Either Apple Support/Service has to Repair/Replace the RAM, or, You have to find a local shop (if you're out of waranty). Desoldering and soldering logic board components requires special tools, solder and lots & lots of practice.

I have a MacBook Air (Intel Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X 10.6.8, I would like to update to Lion, but I am not sure if I have the latest version of SNOW LEOPARD v10.6.8, do I need to update to Leopard first and then to Lion or could I just update to Lion?

I have a MacBook Air (Intel Core 2 Duo) Mac OS X 10.6.8, I would like to update to Lion but I am not sure if I need the Snow Leopard, I am not sure if I have it, or if I can just download the Lion. Please help.

Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. The dialog will display the installed version.

My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?

My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS? The Apple web says must have Intel Core 2 Duo. Please advise. Not knowledgeable enough to know if not having the 2 between Core and Duo is a stopper. Appreciate any guidance.

The difference between a Core Duo and a Core 2 Duo is a show stopper when it comes to running Lion. The Core Duo is still only a 32 bit chip, but the Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit chip. You need the 64 bit chip to run Lion.

Macbook Pro (2GHz Core Duo) won't boot while ANY internal DVD attached

15" Macbook Pro 2GHz Core Duo (2006-7)
Hi all -
I'm having trouble with this macbook pro... it runs perfectly fine, as long as I do NOT attach any DVD-drive/Superdrive to the logic board (internal drives). However, if I attach the correct drive (confirmed working part) to the logic board... when I go to power it on, it attempts to start but almost instantly dies/turns off. You can hear the HDD start to spin up, but nothing else. If I hold the power button (like using the reset technique), it repeats that rapidly with a strange sound like the power is disrupted. Winding up sound... quickly, and repeatedly. Never powers on though and no screen response.
I'm assuming something is wrong with the connection site on the logic board, so I'm wondering what else I can do to have an internal optical drive. I notice a plug-in port (smaller) to the left. Is that a usable port with the right flex cable?? Or somewhere else on the board perhaps besides the connection site for the HDD? Thanks in advance.

I actually don't know. It might be worth a close examination of the logic board socket with a good light and magnification. A poster on the PowerMac G4 forum found a tiny resistor in the RAM slot that was causing problems, and later found a missing resistor on one of the RAM sticks. Everything is a lot tinier on a MBP socket, but if you can spot any kind of foreign object that might be causing a short, you could attempt to blow it out with compressed air.
I believe there is a kit that allows you to replace the optical drive with a second hard drive. Don't know if the second socket is for that or something else. Just a speculation--I really don't know but it has to be there for a reason.
Good luck!

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.

HT5621 How do I change the Apple ID stored on my MacBook Air? I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website, but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

How do I change the Apple ID that is stored on my MacBook Air. I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

I had this problem on my iMac and fixed it after a half hour of frustrated trying. I had changed my Apple ID on my iPad mini while traveling. When I finally got back home after a few months, I couldn't log in to iTunes on my iMac. The old Apple ID was still being used on my iMac. I tried just highlighting it and deleting it and typing in my new Apple ID. No dice. The login just defaulted to my old Apple ID. I tried clicking on the drop down menu that appears when you right right click your Apple ID that appears at the top of the page after highlighting the 'iTunes Store" in the left side list. I saw "account" so I clicked on that. The "account" settings on my iMac showed my new Apple ID but my iMac wouldn't use it. It just kept defaulting to my old ID. I shut down. I logged back in. Same result. Finally I right clicked the same drop down menu and saw "sign out" at the bottom of the list. Even though I was not signed in to iTunes, I clicked "sign out". My next log in to iTunes showed my Apple ID as blank and I was able to type in my new ID. Hope this helps.
I am a long time 20 year Microsoft user. I am somewhat ( 1 year) new to Apple. With Microsoft, I found that fixing problems was clunky and complex, but there was always a post somewhere that explained the fix. Microsoft's explanations stated even the most obvious fact. Even if everyone knew that the sky was blue, Microsoft's instructions would still tell you that the sky was blue. With Apple, I find that the obvious is sometimes not so obvious. But the fix is almost always easy once you find it, without many of the elaborate maneuvers needed in Windows.

I'm having frequent RSDs with my MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150.

I'm having frequent RSDs with my MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150. Checked inside for dust around fans, etc., but none was visible. Laptop gets very warm, more so on the left side than right. Any suggestions for finding the problem & solutions?

But it's covered by Apple's warranty - if you ask, they should erase & reinstall OS X then if it still panics without adding any 3rd party software, there has to be some problem with the computer.

Can Macbook Air 11" (1.4 Ghz 2 GB Ram 128 GB HD) run xCode as well ?

I've planed to buy a new portable laptop which lighter and smaller than other. I doubt,Can Macbook Air 11" (1.4 Ghz 2 GB Ram 128 GB HD) run xCode as well ? I love its design.

If you are referring to the XCode Tools program development system, then the answer is, Yes.

MacBook Air Mid 2014 but shows Mid 2013

I just received my MacBook Air yesterday, the latest 1.4GHz i5 processor, customized to 8GB ram, and after setting it up and installing/updating everything i need (took me whole night to that), I looked into "About This Mac" and it says there "Mid 2013", everything else in System Report is as per the latest model. I checked the box before I opened, and everything is also as per specification, but I would assume it should say "Mid 2014".
I'm on the phone with Apple Support as I type, earlier was on the online support chat, and they were as baffled how did this happen. They even offered a replacement but I will need to send it back. Now that I am on the phone with them, the only explanation they gave me is that, ALL the new MacBook Air's says "Mid 2013", that indicates hardware date, despite them being "new". And assured me there's no issue with it.
I argued that depreciates the value of the MacBook Air almost immediately, and I felt cheated buying a 2014 model but instead I got 2013 hardware! And since I have been on hold for 20 minutes at least, while they check. A senior advisor came on and explained, that as there were no major changes in the MacBook Air, it is still Mid 2013 model BUT the specifications are 2014.
Based on that explanation, I assume EVERY MacBook Air with the 1.4GHz processor that was released this year, should say Mid 2013. BUT if there is even one that says 2014, I believe every owner would want one. And I stressed to the support personnel that if at any time I find one that says 2014, I will refer back to this case and demand for a replacement.
So if other owners would just post your "About This Mac" and verify this explanation, for the benefit of everyone.

I am having the same exact issue. I thought the reason might be because my customized version which has a 1.7 Ghz Core i7 is the same processor as the mid-2013 models. However in looking at some other posts online people with customized versions that have 8 GB of memory are having the same issue, even if their processor is the 1.4 Ghz Core i5 which is only included in the early 2014 models.
They Early-2014 Models came out on April 29th 2014, and looking at my serial number you can see that my computer was made AFTER that date.
There are however computers that show do Early 2014 such as the MacBook Air in this unboxing video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjkrv2-kwCs
What's interesting is the computer in the video was made BEFORE mine (from the serial number) yet it shows as newer in Apple's system
Now I have seen some posts indicating that apple will fix this issue via an update, however it is NOT just a software issue but also an issue in Apple's computer systems
If I look my device up on https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
It shows as a mid-2013 Model, whereas if I look up the MBA in the YouTube unboxing it shows as an early 2014.
I really hope Apple fixes this, I have spoken with managers at two Apple Retail stores and they offered to exchange my device within the return period, but I have yet to have gotten a chance to head over, I will likely within a day or two.

Will Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo run Snow Leopard ok?

I have the following system spec on my Macbook Pro which i bought in Apr 2006:
2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo
2 G 667 Mhz SDRam
I would like to know if Snow Leopard will run on my system. I have been getting a few glitches for the last while when running internet related searches for certain sites like Youtube, and sometimes with streaming video. I figured that maybe i need a more up to date OS as i've been a bit slack with updating it. Any thoughts fromt he community are welcome

Yes. You can run Snow Leopard OK.
As you're starting from Tiger it's imperative you backup your current system before proceeding. That's best done by cloning it to an external HD using the Restore function in Disk Utility, or you can use third-party software such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.
The reason for this is that although the installation should go smoothly with the installer replacing system files and leaving your user data and applications untouched, I have come across a couple that failed and could only be installed after erasing the Macintosh HD.
Buy the retail Snow Leopard disc; http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
and update to 10.6.8 with the combo installer; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be aware that lots of software will need updating, not all of it for free (stand up, Adobe!), and you may well have difficulty getting drivers for older printers or scanners.
Ensure you select Rosetta from the optional installations to enable your older software to continue working.

BOINC Seti@Home Core Duo Show Graphics Computation Error

I'm running BOINC, Seti@Home, on both my PowerBook and Core Duo 20-inch iMac. When I highlight a work unit and click on "Show Graphics" the PowerBook brings up the graphics just fine. On the iMac Core Duo when I click on "Show Graphics" the work unit aborts and shows a computation error.
Does anyone else see this difference and is there a fix?
imac Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

When I click on the work unit, the "show graphics" remains dim. Mine is set to run only after five minutes of inactivity.
The computation error may be due to the Rosetta translation. Maybe will see a universal version soon.

MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo

I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 with an Intel Core Duo processor.
Is it true that I wont be able to upgrade to Lion when it is released?
My MBP isn't that old so why have Apple decided not to support it?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks

Sadly it's true
Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
The Core Duo processor was last used in a MacBook Pro in Mid-2006.
After that with the release of the Late-2006 MBPs the Core 2 Duo processor was used.
http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbookpro
So, it's 5 years old...
Personally I think Apple has abandoned the Core Duo because it is only a 32-bit processor and not capable of 64-bit.

Is it possible to use recovery dvd from Macbook Pro 15 Core Duo on Macbook?

I lost my recovery DVD for my macbook, I can get a set for the Macbook Pro Core Duo from my friend. Is it possible to use it on the macbook or do I have to call Applecare to get the replacement dvds?
Thanks,
Macbook Core Duo 2.00 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8) Macbook White Core Duo 2.0Ghz 2.0GB Ram

Apple recovery disks only hae the drivers for the model that they were designed to be used with. There are also system checks in place that may prevent it from even being attempted.
The best thing is to either contact Apple or look for someone who is selling a legitimate MacBook recovery CD set.
