Follow the instructions the developer provided. I'd take #3 the "Both" option. After doing this restart the computer in Safe Mode this will clear some caches, then restart normally and test. Post back with results.

15" 2.53Ghz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro - kernel panics about every 5 minutes after Lion upgrade

I just recently upgraded to Lion and since then have been plagued as it seems many users have been with kernel panics after the upgrade. Have repaired disk permissions, analyzed the drive with diskwarrior, swapped out the memory, unplugged all external devices, and shut down all unnecessary applications to no avail. Anyone have any idea when this is going to be fixed by Apple? My laptop is pretty much useless and formatting and going back to Snow Leopard is a rediculous option since I really do not want to spend a day or more reinstalling all of my applications just to get to a workable situation until Apple gets their "stuff" together. C'mon Apple - we expect more from you than this!

How do I mirror my 24"iMac 2.8GHz Intel core 2 duo to my Apple TV? I am running Mountain Lion and My iMac is an early 2008 model. Thanks

I purchased Apple TV yesterday strictly to mirror my desktop to my TV. Now I find out my desktop is not supported? How can I mirror my iMac to my Apple TV? I am running Mountain Lion and the iMac is a 2.8 GHz with intel core 2 duo from early 2008.
Thanks for your help!

You cannot officially do this Apple's way as they do not support your computer for Airplay.
There is a software solution called Airparrot that you may want to demo:

Some people are pleased with it othes not so much.

Your Mac is definitely one of the supported models? http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/specs/
If so, what happens when you try to download? Is it a case of nothing happens? If so, take a look at the suggestions under 'Stalled Download' in this link:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/10/mavericks-issues-and-fixes/#slideid-23477 1
Also, some usrs have found that logging out of the Mac App Store and then back in again and starting over has kick-started the download. It seems that the 5+gb download can take a long time to give any feedback as to what's happening.

I'm currently running OS-10.6.8 on my IMAC with an Intel Core 2 duo and would like to update to at lease 10.7. Can this be done and if so how?

Only if you cannot upgrade to Mavericks.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

IMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch) - 2 or 4 slots ?

Hi,
Crucial's memory selector tells me that I can install a maximum of 4GB of memory on my iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch). Why does the system info show me that I have 4 slots with 2 being empty (see picture below) ?
Regards.

Hi,
I found the reason why System Info is displaying 4 slots ... it's because I have 4 slots.
I have a 21,5" monitor not a 24". It is identified as an iMac10,1 model and the good news is that I can upgrade to 16Gb of memory.
That being said, I would like to upgrade, because I often find that my computer is slow. If I go to the Activity Monitor utility, iI think that my memory requires an upgrade but how much more should I put in ? See the memory display below.
Also can someone tell me if I could experience a faster computer if my processor is not used intensively, like shown below.
Regards.

How much Memory Should my IMac have? iMac, 24-inch, Intel Core 2 Duo

Hi, I have a problem. I have a iMac, 24-inch, Intel Core 2 Duo which had to have a hard drive replaced. Brought it home today and it is not the same? It makes weird noises when processing info and it seems to run slower. I noticed that the memory is only 1GB and this model should have 2 or something along those lines? It seems as though they didn't replace this with what I had on my original one? Can anyone help me, let me know how to verify that I am lacking what I had on this machine when I bought it and what should this model have on it? I am so ****** off right now, it isn't funny!
Also, I can't go into my Iphoto and make any of my pictures a desktop image. That leads me to believe it is a low memory issue. Right?

What imac do you have how old is it. The 2.4ghz 20inch model still comes with 1gb as standard in the uk anyway. most intel imac including mine are totally silent, is it overheating download a great widget called istat pro at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html this will show you your fan and temp etc. If it in warranty then take it back to apple or phone them with the machine serial number and they will inform you to what spec the imac was shipped to you. The desktop image problem - go-to system preferences then to desktop and screen saver you will find all your iphoto folder and events in the right hand side just click on your image this should work.

Hello I have a 24-inch iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X Leopard 10.5.8. Is the Mac I kompaktibel with the new OS X Lion Mountain? Thanks for the answer. E.Monti

Hi,
This is the compatibility list
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
if your iMac is mid2007 or newer - yes.
You will need to upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) first buy DVD from online apple store
Then to 10.7 Lion - buy and download via Store App included in SL
and then 10.8 Mountain Lion upgrade the same steps as Lion

Is RAM and OS for iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo upgradeable?

Can the RAM and OS for a iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, MAC OS X 10.6.8 be upgraded? Looking to upgrade to 4 GB RAM and OS X 10.8. Please advise. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course you can upgrade RAM. You have a Late 2006 iMac, which supports 4 GB of RAM. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_2006
This Mac can't be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion because OS X Mountain Lion needs a Mid 2007 or newer iMac. Instead, you can upgrade to OS X Lion by calling Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

10.10 painfully slow on 2008 iMac 2.4gHz intel core 2 duo

I made a big mistake-
My gf sees me as the guy who really knows Macs.
I updated her 20" iMac 2.4gHz intel core 2 duo (3G ram) when the prompt came up in software updates.
Now she's practicing patience as everything is much slower and problematic in keeping connected to the ISP.
Accepting that the Mac has to re-index everything, we've allowed 3 days for this, but not much improvement.
The question:
What is Best Practices (and detailed method) for getting back to her previous OS without the install disk?
This is probably best until we can get a new Mac on her desk.
Is it better to stay with 10.10.1 - if so, we need to speed this puppy up.
Any help?

The first problem may arise from the fact that iMacs use 3.5" harddisk whereas most SSDs are 2.5" ones.
So some sort of tray or 'holder' is needed.
Second problem might be the thermal sensor Apple uses in some iMacs.
Your first recommendation to your friend: 'get a bigger harddisk and more RAM' sounds like the best way.

Does Apple sell memory for Apple iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (21.5-inch - DDR3) Late 2009 anymore?

I have a 21.5-inch, late 2009 iMac (Apple iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo [21.5-inch - DDR3]) and I need more memory for it. Currently, I have the standard 4GB memory for it (2X2). I wanted to know if Apple makes memory for my model iMac anymore. Thanks!

Buy your ram from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com.
Apple probably still sells ram for your iMac but you'll pay twice the prince and get less for it.

What OS can I upgrade my iMac 2.66ghz Intel Core 2 Duo to?

I currently use my old iMac as a netflix, web tv set . . . I am having issues with browsers etc., an am wondering what the latest OS I would be able to use on this machine? It is currently running 10.5.8 (iMac 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) Thanks!!

First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.10 Installer.(10.10/Yosemite is the only download avalable now without specially calling Apple).
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

Apple iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch), how much ram?

How much RAm can i add into a Apple iMac 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (24-inch), anyone know?

And I do not see any specifications for a White iMac with a 24" screen that is 2.33GHz.
But now I found it...
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
You have what normally would have been a 2.16GHz model but with the made to order 2.33GHz upgrade. Memory is...
1GB (2x512MB) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 3GB
officially. You have two slots, each supporting up to a 2GB RAM but officially Apple says 3Gigs is the max. Which is an odd number because normally I would expect to see something like 2Gig based on having 1G rams available at the time. However, since they spec 3GB that would imply that 2GB RAMs were around at the time, but they still specifically say the machine can only have 3GB (2GB + 1GB).
Many older systems can support more ram than their official specs due to larger RAMs being released after the support for testing new RAM was done. Apple specifically limiting you to a single 2GB RAM with the other having to be 1GB would seem to indicate there IS an issue with supporting a pair of 2GB rams.
So you can very safely go from 2GB to 3GB by replacing one of the 1Gig modules with a 2GB module. However I can't say for sure if it would work to go to 4GB or not.
