  • Lion OS to ever support the older Intel Core Duo processors?

    Does Apple Lion OS have any intention of supporting the older Intel Core Duo processors?  If not, then doesn't that mean there's a lot of Mac's that are going to be left behind?  Does Apple plan to do anything else for these Mac's?

    Intel Core Duos are older machines - the last one was discontinued in September 2006 (if I remember correctly); that means the newest of them is about 5 1/2 years old - a lifetime for electronics.
    As for Apple having any plans for these older machines: first, we are not allowed to speculate here, but I can't see anyone supporting or doing anything for a computer that age.

  • Does itunes work with  the new intel core duo processor?

    i want to go buy a new laptop and the one I have in mind has the new intel core duo T2300 or the T2400 processor. Can i still download itunes onto this computer? Does it meet the requirments becuase the download page says you need a pentium or BETTER? The new macs are putting them in their computers, but will the windows and intel duo be able to support the itunes application?

    are you asking if it is compatible meaning will it
    install/run or are you asking if flash is
    optimized to take advantage of this particular setup?

  • Why the MBP Intel Core Duo left out of the Lion Upgrade?

    I was looking forward to the upgrade but today i found out that my MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo) from 2007 was left out of the Lion Upgrade list. Why? is it because it's a 32bit CPU?

  • Can an intel core duo 2Ghz iMac handle a 12Mbps internet connection?

    Is a 12 Mbps internet connection speed too fast for an Intel core duo 2 GHz Imac?

    Ethernet on those models are 10/100 802.11b/g. That means the Ethernet is capable of up to 100 Mbps, roughly nine times that your the ISP's speed. The limiting factor will be your cable/DSL modem that must be able to handle 12 Mbps or faster.

  • Imac 27 late 2009 - since november the processor (intel core 2) is continuously surcharging, music stops, movies freeze...

    Hi,
    Since November the processor of my iMac is very easily surcharged. I've looked in several posts and I discovered about the spotlight question, so I've disabled it since I don't really use it anyway. The problem wasn't fixed. Then, reading that it was a lion problem I tried to go back to snow leopard, but the problem still wasn't fixed at all. So I've been back to lion, I even added several gigas of RAM, now I have 16G. the problem is still unsolved. Even if I'm just listening to some music or watching a movie with every other application closed, from time to time the music stops several times, movies freeze etc. It seems like it's not the operative system, it's not the RAM, it's not a real surcharge, and when I look in the activity monitor nothing really shows up. I am clueless, but it's really really annoying.
    Thank you in advance for every suggestion...

    OWC has an upgrade program for 2010/2011 iMacs where they figured out how to replace hard drives without tripping up the sensor the iMac is expecting. See http://blog.macsales.com/11638-owc-turnkey-program-for-2011-imacs-announced .
    Some have talked about installing a HDD fan control program to turn down the fan, and some don't consider that a solution.
    In Germany, someone came up with a custom circuit that keeps everyting in working order:  http://www.gravis.de/blog/imac-2011-freie-festplattenwahl-dank-gravis-cbreeze/
    I've got to believe that someone will develop a more easily accessible option as more iMacs need hard drive replacements.

  • PowerMac G5 vs iMac Intel Core Duo

    Hello, I currently have a PowerMac G5 Dual Core and am thinking of getting another computer. I have a question. In terms of performance, what is faster, the G5 (Dual) on the PowerMac or the Intel Core Duo on the iMac (running at the same speed).
    And at the bottomline, what would be the machine that I want for gaming, publishing, and video editing? The PowerMac G5 (Dual) or the iMac with Intel.
    Thanks for the assistance!! Have a good one.
    P.S. Are there any plans of releasing a PowerMac with an Intel processor.
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    (Oh...right...sorry for mentioning that) Thanks for hte response!
    Anyways, I just want a computer that will not be outdated for a while. I don't want to purchase the G5, and then months down the road, not see the G5 in production anymore.
    One thing about the iMac I'm not too fond of is the lack of upgradibility (or so it seems so). Due to it's size, it would be very difficult for someone to upgrade it's internal components.
    I will be purchasing either today evening of tommorow, and I want to know what will be my best choice for the future, the iMac Intel Core Duo or the PowerMac G5.
    I always thought of the PowerMac G5 as a beast, and I still do, but some of the latest reviews and benchmark tests I have seen have said that the iMac (with Intel Core Duo) has performed very close to the PowerMac.

  • Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite.  So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer?

    Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite.  So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer? Thanks for the input.

    Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer.

  • IMac Intel Core Duo: Which Install DVD disks should I be looking for?

    I have an iMac Intel Core Duo (2 Ghz, 20") model. This was sent to me from Apple as a replacement for my iMac G5 when it had problems a couple years ago. I just realized today that they did not send me OS install disks for it; I still have the iMac G5 install disks though.
    What iMac install disks should be looking for to purchase? Are they specific to an Intel Core Duo? Would any iMac Intel installation disk work?
    Thanks in advance.

    You may be able to contact Apple and have them provide a replacement set for a nominal fee.
    If it's the Core Duo white iMac from +early 2006+, it came with Tiger (10.4). Therefore, you can get install Leopard or the current Snow Leopard on it. You just need the standard retail disc.
    Would any iMac Intel installation disk work?
    Usually, installation discs that come with Macs (the grey ones) only work with that specific Mac model. A retail disc (the ones that are sold separately) will work with any supported Mac model.
    There is another difference. The disc that is included with Macs also have additional bundled apps, such as the iLife suite. The original included disc for your iMac would have iLife '06, which is two versions old, so it may not be that much of a benefit today (iLife '09 is the current version).

  • Imac intel core duo random shutdown

    My iMac 2006 (late) intel core duo 2ghz shuts down regularly after brief periods of activity. As soon as I turn it on, the HD fan spins at around 5000rpm according to istat pro. All other fan speeds and temperatures are normal.I need to unplug it for at least an hour in order to successfully boot up again, an then the same thing happens over again. A new HD was recently installed with the Mac OS extended (journaled) scheme on , and someone mentioned it should have been as GUID scheme. Can that be a possible culprit ? I dusted it all out, changed the ram for new and even changed the power cord.

    it should have been as GUID scheme
    Yes - any Intel Mac needs to be GUID partition scheme in order to be bootable. So, if yours boots up without a problem, then it should be ok. Check Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).
    What OS version are you running? I'd suggest booting from your disks (not knowing which version I can't be specific - but one should have AHT (Apple Hardware Test) included. See these instructions on how to run it (use the extended test) and post any messages or results you get:

  • Creator 2 for OS X on Intel Core Duo?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if the current Creator2 release for Mac OS X supports the machines with the new Intel Core Duo chips (e.g. iMac)? If not, does anyone know when the new machines are expected to be supported?
    I tried installing Creator2 on an iMac Intel machine and it failed with this error:
    "The RAVE_J2EE_HOME environment variable is set. This variable needs to be unset before installation."
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the response and I look forward to Creator 2 on MacIntel!
    As far as RAVE_J2EE_HOME, I have no idea why the installer is complaining that it is set. I haven't installed anything on the machine prior to trying to install Creator 2 and I definitely didn't manually set it (I've never heard of the variable before). Doing an echo of the variable in Terminal gives nothing. Since I now realize that I was trying to install Creator 2 on an unsupported platform, I guess all bets are off on the installer as well. I will just try again when the MacIntel version is out.

  • Why can't install adobe illustrator on macbook intel core duo?

    I just bought the Macbook intel core duo, specifically so I could use Adobe Illustrator. I installed adobe CS2 and every program installed EXCEPT FOR ILLUSTRATOR! Tech support says Apple and Adobe are working on the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I've installed CS2 standard on about ten Intel-based Macs and and CS2 Premium on three Intel-based Macs at work. I haven't encountered any issues. No MacBooks at work though, just Mac minis, MacBook Pros and Mac Pro towers (which don't have the Core Duo chips).
    After reading your message here, I made a quick search of the Adobe support forums and couldn't find any messages there about anyone having a problem installing Illustrator CS2 on a Core Duo Mac of any kind.
    Our Intel-based Macs are all up-to-date with Mac OS X 10.4.8 and all the extras like QuckTime 7.1.3. Which "tech support" did you contact? Apple or Adobe? If Adobe is aware of the issue and is working on a solution, I'm afraid there isn't much we could do to help you here.

  • Imac intel core duo 20" bug graphics

    bonjour,
    jespere que vous comprenez le francais
    j'ai un imac intel core duo 2ghz, 1go de ram dd2 osx 10,4,9
    j'ai un soucis quand je joue a world of warcraft, l'ecran se brouille, ne nombreux traits apparaissent, impossible de voir en fait le jeu correctement, obligé de faire un pomme+m et de revenir en full screen apres, et ca repart.
    sachant que le jeu passe en full quality a 30fps a peu pres, j'ai essayé de tout baissé au niveau qualité et rien a faire.
    je n'est pas eut le temps d'essayer d'autres jeux.
    je n'est pas essayer en redemarrant sous windobe.
    l'ordinateur est encore sous garantie.
    dites moi tout ce que vous savez
    merci d'avance.
    a bientot.

    Depends on how intensive you plan on getting with the iMac. For the most part, it should run pretty well. When the Adobe products become universal they should fly. I currently run all the same software plus Maya on my iMac G5 2.1 GHZ w/o a problem, so they should run just as well on the intel (more so when all apps become universal). I actually plan on selling the G5 and picking up the intel version so I can run boot camp and 3D Max as as well.

  • I have  a old 2006 modle macbook 15 inch the  A1150 i believe with core duo processor can change or replace that with a intel core duo 2 processor ?

    it,s a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
    memory 2 GB 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    is there some kind of way i can  upgrade that to a Intel Core Duo 2 processor
    or is it  just a batle i cant win ?

    You should be able to get a used or repaired MacBook 13/15-inch core2duo 2.0+GHz near
    $350 or so, in working condition with some kind of limited warranty or guaranty. Companies
    like macsales, wegenermedia, powerbookmedic, powermax and others offer previously
    owned Macs that are not current models. Older, to vintage or obsolete; those who some-
    times have the better deal on those also can repair most all Macs and have parts.
    The effort to swap out a logic board (and then what? the
    other parts likely won't match) isn't hardly worth the effort.
    You may be able to find an early MacBook (circa 2006 to 2010 era) that needs minor work,
    and troubleshoot/repair it with a DIY guide online... But that can be a gamble if you mess
    up things that were not wrong in the first place, while learning on the job. It could cost plenty.
    Some companies can sell you used parts, no guarantees on matching an incorrect logic
    board with a diffferent build model spec computer's other original configuration. You'd do
    better if you found someone selling their old MacBook Core2Duo, nearby, & could see it run.
    I have a MacBook 13-inch coreduo 1.83GHz first-edition; an early core2duo won't do much
    more than the coreduo. Snow Leopard is better than Lion in several ways; if you have older
    software you already own that works, from the PowerPC era -- that can save you money.
    Good luck in any event, & happy computing!
