  • Can I upgrade to lion when i have a 2 GHz Intel core duo processor ( my computer is 6 years Old)  I have snow leopard now.

    Can I Upgrade my computer to Lion.  I have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor.  My computer is 6 years old.  Right now I have Snow Leopard.

    I have an old iMac about that age that I upgraded to Lion to test my 3rd party applications for compatibility. It upgraded quite simply. Please backup or save all your info/etc to an external CD/DVD/Hard drive, then try to run the installer. The Lion installer will analize your Mac for compatibility before it does anything, and will alert you to it's decisision. My 17" iMac is also 2 GHZ Intel core duo. Surprisingly for many of the things I use it for it works as good as my multi thousand dollar MacPro workstation. Best of luck. But Lion isn't compatible with many third party applications and drivers for printers; scanners; etc.

  • I have Intel Core Duo, will Lion work on it if I decide to upgrade?

    My MacBook Pro is run on Intel Core Duo.  Albeit, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, can I upgrade to Lion?

    Unless your have a need for iCloud, I would stay with Snow Leopard.
    If you need iCloud, then you have no option but to replace your MacBook Pro with a more recent model.
    iCloud requires Lion and Lion needs at least a Core 2 Duo to install.

  • Macbook Pro intel core duo, will not boot to anything.

    Greetings, I am currently having issues with my MacBook Pro.  I get the flashing folder with the ?, but I can't boot to any of the startup utilities.  I have tried all that I have read about on other posts, such as, trying to boot with the C key held down (it just gets to the folder ?), booting to disk utility didn't work ( held down keys and it went to the folder ?), I also tried getting to the hardware test, by holding D and having the applications disk in.  And still everything I try gets me to the flashing folder ?.  Also I do have the CD's that came with the laptop and tried to install from the mas os install CD and still get to the flashing folder ?.  The reason it started doing this was because of this......  I had boot camp installed and was running dual boot with windows 7, then I had deleted the mac osx on the drive so I would only be using windows 7.  I wanted to reformat the drive after this, but had a hard time finding out a way to actually do this, as the MacBook unlike PC's, doesn't have any BIOS, and at that time didn't know all the key commands to use at startup.  So I downloaded a program from the net that can run at windows start and delete the HD before the computer fully boots windows 7.  So after I deleted the HD I could not install any program or start any of the mac utilities at startup, and I did the PRAM reset, still everything that I try it gets me to the flashing folder ?, in the end.  Could I have deleted all of the startup utilities when I wiped the HD?  If so how can I get these back on my MacBook pro if I can't get the MacBook pro to read any files or start up utilities?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    UPDATE: I found a way to download firmware, I thought that it could be the reason I get the flashing folder with ?, because maybe I somehow damaged the firmware on my computer when I did the reformat.  Alas I followed the directions to re-install the firmware and still I get to the same flashing folder.  I used FirmwareRestorationCD1.4  I think it is the one I needed for my model, MacBook Pro 15"  intel core 2 duo, and comes with osx 10.5 leopard I think, the OSX CD is stamped 2008 for 15" MacBook Pro.  I can't check the properties of my MacBook because it has no programs on it, but this is what I think it is from memory and deduction.  Well now I guess I have to ask the question, is the firmware the programs installed such as disk utility, and recovery mode?  I need to read more I guess, and also I thought I needed to take the 1.4 off the end of the FirmwareRestorationCD in order for it to work, but the instructions for making and using the firmware CD is a bit vague.  Another factor in this to make things more difficult, is that this computer is my second computer and it's a PC laptop, so I used a program download from the net to write .dmg files to disk, it's called Transmac, could this be another fault in my creation of the CD?  I am out of ideas again as to what I need to do to get mac OSX back on my computer,  I am still a bit new to the way macs work, so I could definatley use some advice.  thanks.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Rebuilding aMacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, hard drive failure so rebuilding system.  Aircard will not stop self-assigning IP address.  Any ideas how to resolve successfully?

    Had hard drive failure on MacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, so had to rebuild the OS on new drive. Was on Lion 10.7.5 prior to failure, but had to reinstall Snow Leopard 10.6.3 since that was most recent OS on media I had.  After finally getting ethernet connection to router working, was able to get to internet and download / upgrade to 10.6.8.  I assume I can probably buy the upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8 from there.
    Problem is this, Airport will not stop self-assigning IP address for my wireless connection, and unless I can get wireless back on this laptop, doesn't make a lot of sense to continue the rebuild and reinstall of all the software that was on it prior to HD failure.  Only way to my home network and router is ethernet now.  Everything else on my network (Apple MacBook Pro laptops, iPhones, desktops, and non-Apple printers and laptops) is hooking up to router wirelessly fine.
    Any ideas how to resolve successfully so that the airport will stop self-assigning and allow the router to assign the IP address?

  • Is installation on 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (MacBook Pro)really not possible and why?

    I would like to buy OS X Lion and install it on my MacBook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, but this processor is not in the list of the specifications (Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 or Xeon processor).
    Is it really true that I can't install Lion on my Mac? If so, what is the reason?

    It has to be a Core 2 Duo. Those are the requirements for Lion.
    Requires a newer Mac.
    Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM.

  • 32-bit Intel Core Duo ok with upcoming 64-bit Leopard?

    How well suited is the 32-bit Intel Core Duo in my MacBook Pro to run the future 64-bit Leopard OS? What would be the compromises?
    Should I sell my Core Duo now while I can (maybe...) and upgrade to the 64-bit Core2 Duo. Would a 32-bit chip such as the Core Duo struggle to operate efficiently - or at least as fast as it does under 32-bit Tiger - when run within the 64-bit Leopard OS?
    Cheers

    You might find this tidibit (from AnandTech) )interesting, Kappy:
    "Why a 64-bit mode can actually be slower than a 32-bit counterpart
    If all else is equal, a 64-bit MPU will be slower than its 32-bit equivalent. A study conducted by DEC found that, on average, compiling for 64bit programs decreases performance by 5%. This is because 64-bit address pointers occupy more space, resulting in higher data cache miss rates. In fact, 64-bit ISAs still support 64-bit addressing and 32-bit data operands, specifically to keep code size down and the miss rate penalty to a minimum; thus 32-bit integer data is still going to be used when the larger range of 64-bit integers are not needed.
    What good is 64-bit computing?
    There is one good use for 64-bit integer arithmetic: 64-bit flat memory addressing. Offering memory addressing beyond 4GB, 64-bit addressing needs 64-bit general purpose registers and 64-bit integer arithmetic for memory pointer calculations. This obviously has no effect on 32-bit vs. 64-bit performance, since 64-bit memory addressing on a 32-bit processor is a moot point."
    So it's not clear that going 64-bit, in and of itself, would yield any improvement in performance; it may well be worse in some cases (and your analogy might well be true, depending on the cache algorhythms and efficiency).
    Certainly if one processor has a wider memory bus than another, then the first processor should, all else being equal, outperform the second processor. I can't find specs on the memory fetch for the Core Duo and the Core 2 Duo, so I can't say whether or not they differ. The PowerPC G5 processor actually has a 128-bit wide memory fetch (64-bit in and 64-bit out) though it's classified as a "64-bit processor" (based on it's memory address space, I would presume).
    So, as you allude, one has to be careful making performance estimates just based on a desciption of a processor being "32 bit" or "64 bit". We'll have to wait to see reasonable benchmarks between the Core Duo and the Core 2 Duo running a 64-bit OS before we'll really know what advantage, if any, there is.
    Cheers.

  • Can a MacBook Pro1,1 - 2GHz Intel Core Duo be upgraded to Lion or even Leopard?

    Is it possible to upgrade the OS from Tiger to either Lion or Leopard on a MacBookPro1,1  2GHz Intel Core Duo (2006)?  Need to upgrade Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft software...

    Here's something to consider. I see you have 1G RAM. That works well enough for Tiger 10.4. However, I think Leopard or Snow Leopard will be happier if you increase the RAM.
    Your MBP can handle up to 2G of RAM. It has two RAM slots'In your case, there would be one 512MB module in each slot. You could replace one 512MB module with a 1G module and have a total over 1.5G. That would be a big help. Or replace both. If you are in the US, RAM is not expensive (see: 2.0GB Upgrade Kit                 (1.0GB Modules x 2 Matched) for US$33), and the RAM is easily installed even by the most novice user.
    Here are the Apple Instructions for installing RAM in teh first Gen MacBook Pros:

  • Mountain lion and imac intel core duo 2

    hello
    i have an imac 8,1 intel core duo 2 -2,66gz with IOS 10.5.8 can i install Mountain Lion?
    thank you
    BJ

    System requirements can be found here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
    You will first need to get your system to Mac OS X 10.6 so you have access to the Mac App Store, the only place from which Mountain Lion is available. The 10.6 installer disk can be purchased from the online Apple Store.
    Regards.
