MacBook Intel CPU upgradeable or removable?

Is MacBook Intel CPU upgradeable or removable?

Look like the upgradeable processor is not Apple main business, it could happen later on, but from third party like sonnet, etc.
Once they could figure it out the posibility to upgrade it to a newer processor, they surely sell it.
But if the processor is soldered to the logic board than a hack website is probably give you more but risky solution.

MacBook Pro 2.2GHz -- which exactly Intel CPU is in there?

I've been reading the wikipedia on the differences and details on the Core Duo and Core 2 Duo CPUs and it made me thinking what model number of Intel CPU have I got in my system?
I've checked the specs both on the product pages as well as in the support section and they only read that it's got the Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz CPU, no details.
Does anyone know? Can anyone with MBP 2.2Ghz system and Windows on it run CPUz and report back here with the CPU details?
thanks!

I believe, on Apple's specifications for the MacBook Pro, it says what kind of processor it is...if it doesn't, there's surely ways to find out.
That's how the poster found out what kind of computer processing unit is packaged with the MacBook Pro. He then linked you after finding the processor on that page. It's quite simple, really.
Google It you may find some info.

Virtual PC v7.0.2 and macbook pro with intel cpu

Is Microsoft Virtual PC v7.0.2 compatibble with intel cpu's?
thanks

Virtual PC for Mac will only work for the older PowerPC Macs.
For the newer Intel Macs look at either Boot Camp from Apple <http://www.apple.com/bootcamp> or Parallels <http://www.parallels.com>. The performance of Windows with either of these solutions far outweighs Virtual PC.
Hope this helps! bill

Flash player 10.3.181.14 requires intel pentium 4 2.33ghz,I have intel CPU T2080@1.73ghz processor

I am trying to use Adobe Flash player at home to simply surf the web. For a long time I've been getting prompts to update Flash Player and however much I updated it the prompts kept on poping up. This got so frustrating I decided i'd try to fix the problem once and for all. So I checked the system requirements Adobe recommend for the update I had been downloading and found one of the minimum requirements to be an intel pentium 4 2.33ghz processor. I checked my system and I have only an intel CPU [email protected] processor. My question is, does this explain why I am having so many problems? I've tried to download an earlier version of Flash Player but I always get redirected to the 10.3.181.14 version. How it has come to this I am not quite sure but I must admit I have removed the Flash Player from my computer at the moment and I'm worried that it was a mistake because will I ever get a working version again? I am running Windows Vista 32bit and Internet Explorer 8 32bit. I am out of my depth so please be gentle!

You might have better luck if you post your question in the Flash Player forum...

Upgrade macbook intel core due to intel core 2 due

You cannot upgrade the CPU in a MacBook. You can sell it and buy a new one.

HT201364 Upgrading from 10.7 to 10.9 on MBP 3GB memory Intel CPU - Will it work?

I'm told by the guru at one of the Apple shops my MBP will not support maverick. But the various resources advise if it has an Intel CPU it should! So before I race off and upgrade, could someone in Apple assure me it will work!
I upgraded to Lion before Christmas and have lost the use of MacOffice, thus before I buy Pages and Numbers which I'm told now only work on Maverick, I need assurances!
Having used Apple products for a few years now as you can see below, in general I've been quite satisfied, but this lack of cross product/version compatibility is unprofessional in the extreme. Understand the marketing and sales rationale for it, but I hate being a victim to compartmentalised product strategies.
Your advice most welcom.

Not all Intel processors will meet Mavericks requirements. The complete list of eligible models is below.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

I have two Macs--a flat-screen iMac that uses i-tunes 9 (its max) and a MacBook Intel duo that uses i-tunes 10 (its max). Both are on sharing. I am trying to put the Library from the flat screen i tunes music onto the MacBook. I have carefully followeBook

I have two Macs, an i-Mac flat screen that runs on OSX.4.11 and i-tunes 9 and a MacBook Intel Duo that runs on Snow Leopard and i-tunes 10. I have carefully followed all the Advanced instructions for sharing music libraries, which is not a problem; however I am unable to transfer following the instructions to drag the music I want from t he i-Mac flat screen library onto the MacBook. Help! Please! Also, my new Nano will not accept i-tunes 9 which is where I have my old i-pod contents stored--the old i-pod died. Many thanks!

UPDATE: I disconnected the iPhone, restarted it, and tried again to sync it with the iTunes library on the iMac. This time it worked
Now I'm going to try to transfer the music into the iTunes library on the PowerBook, then sync with that, delete the library on the iMac, and sync the (hopefully full of all my music) iPhone with the iMac again.

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

Macbook Pro CPU Core's temperature measurments

I have a late 2011 15-inch Macbook Pro OS X 10.8.4 with BootCamp installed.
In OS X environment, the CPU core temperatures are around 40 - 44C, while in idle or with a minimum Safari browsing the net.
When in Bootcamp with Windows 7 Professional, in the similar operating/application condition, but the my Macbook's CPU Core Temperatures are always about 52 - 55C (10 degrees higher than in OS X).
While doing heavy stuffs such as Virus Scan, Time Machine, Data Backup, Video Editing etc ... on both environments the CPU core temperatures could go up to upper 80's degree C.
Is it normal ? if so, is there any explanation for 10 degrees warmer while in BootCamp/Windows ?
Thanks

I have a MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) whose screen will not light up!

I have a MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) running on Mac OS 10.5.8. Recently, my display screen will go "nearly" pitch black. "Nearly" because I can still see the outlines of the windows and apps in the background. For a while, I was just restarting my computer or opening and closing it until the screen came back on. Then, my friend told me to use the dimming function to fix it. So far, it has worked, but only if my computer is on brightness level 0-2. Obviously this has been terrible for my eyes and is not a permanent fix.
I've been trying to find out what piece of my Mac is going to need to be replaced. I think it's a video chip, but I'm not sure.... Has anyone else had this problem and can they tell me how much it cost them to fix it? Thanks! (I'm in Japan with a U.S. bought Mac, so my problem is a bit compounded, but here's hoping!)

Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If that doesn't help, it could be the graphics card.

You couldn't do that even if it did have firewire. That's not a feature of OS X.

Make sure all your applications support Intel CPU and/or Mac OS X 10.7. If they don't all support Intel CPU, but most do, you'll probably want a used or refurbished Mac* that supports 10.6.8 or earlier as is listed on the bottom of:

If they do all support the Intel CPU and Mac OS X 10.7 as is indicated by my tip below:

I have an older MacBook Intel 2 Duo processor 2.4Gh 4GB mem running 10.6.8. Yahoo just informed me I must upgrade my Safari (5.1.10). How much can I upgrade from 10.6.8 without degrading performance?

I have and older MacBook Intel 2 Duo processor 2.4 Ghz, 4GB mem, running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. Yahoo has just informed me that they will no longer support Safari 5.1.10 and my question is how much higher than 10.6.8 can I go to get a better Safari before I start reducing performance on an older computer? It is about 6 years old but runs fine for my purposes.

If you want to stay with 10.6, try Firefox which is still being updated.

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.

If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.

Problem installing Palm Desktop 4.0 on Mac (Intel CPU + OS 10.5.6)

Hello,
When installing Palm Desktop 4.0 on my Mac (MacBookPro= Intel CPU + OS 10.5.6), the installation fails when trying to install the last files (.prc files). I cannot find any installation log to know what the problem exactly is. If I try anyway to run the software, Palm Desktop seems to run OK, but HotSync Manager fails (error related to "PPC-lib").
The problem is I am still using my old but fine Visor, so I don;t think I can install a more recent version of Palm Desktop.
Thanks for any help !
Post relates to: Visor Deluxe

Hello Walter and welcome to the Palm forums.
For such a new Mac, I'm fairly certain, you are going to have to use Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev D or later (I believe that Rev D is the latest) for Mac OS X. You can download Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev D for Mac OS from the Palm website. You may need to pick a newer Palm handheld to gain access to the download link. If that is the case, pick the Tungsten T5, it should require Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev D.
