  • My 2007 iMac is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I must upgrade from OS10.5.8 to at least 10.7.  I know I must go to 10.6.8 on the way. Two questions: 1. Can I upgrade on my own (bright but ignorant)? 2. Should I go to 10.7 or Mavericks?

    My 2007 iMac is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I must upgrade from OS10.5.8 to at least 10.7.  I know I must go to 10.6.8 on the way. Two questions: 1. As a bright but ignorant person, what problems will I encounter in upgrading? 2. Should I go to 10.7 or all the way to Mavericks?

    Thanks for your reply--makes me not want to get involved with Mavericks, and I appreciate the heads-up.  What I hadn't thought about is that by upgrading my OS I would also have to upgrade from my Adobe CS1.  Since I'm retired from my art career, I'm reluctant to spend the dough on new CS; but I still like using PhotoShop and InDesign (and obviously don't care that they are outmoded).  But I'll bet any newer Mac OS won't run my old software.

  • What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.

    What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.
    Would the more recents os versions increase the overall performance? Is it worth it?

    Hello!
    Snow Leopard is what i am currently using. But i guess it does need some clean up and maybe a clean install to see if it gets faster.
    I believe 4gb is the limit for this model, although i've seen some with 6gb…
    Thank you for the help

  • HT203296 No solution listed for 27" iMac running 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

    I have a 27" iMac, Mid 2011.
    Model Identifier iMac12,2
    The processor is a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5.
    I am running OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50)
    Boot ROM Version is IM121.0047.B1F
    SMC Version (system) is 1.72f2
    I have installed Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac Build 7.0.15055 (Revision 740667; March 5, 2012)
    I have created a virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 r2 Enterprise with SP1.
    I am attempting to enable Hyper-V on this server.
    When I attempt to do so, the Add Roles Wizard in Server Manager returns the following error:
    Hyper-V cannot be installed
    The processor on this computer is not compatible with Hyper-V.  To install this role, the processor must have a supported version of hardware -assisted virtualization, and that feature must be turned on in the BIOS.
    Parallels take on the issue is summed up on this thread:
    http://forum.parallels.com/thread3273.html
    Apple has the following information:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2744
    I have just gotten off the phone with a senior tech support representative from Apple.  He is elevating my support request to an engineer, who hopefully will not tell me that this is a Parallels issue, and Apple doesn't provide support for Parallels.  I should receive a response in four business days.
    I figure it's one of three things...V
    VT-X support is disabled on this machine. (Solution, Apple releases an EFI that enables it.)
    VT-X support is enabled on this machine, but Parallels thinks it is not. (Solution, switch to Virtualbox?)
    VT-X support is enabled on this machine, but the virtual machine is emuilating a processor that does not support it (Solution, read the fabulous manual)
    I'd love to hear from anyone who may have a solution to this.  If I get more information, I will update this post.
    P.S. - Why isn't there an option for Mac OS X v10.7.3 Lion in the "You Must Choose a Community" pulldown menu for this form?
    I have run sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features from terminal, and I see that my processor supports VT-X.  Yet, my virtual server says my processor doesn't support it.  Help?

    No solution - but I have the same problem.  Using iMac 27 inch 3.1 Ghz Lion 10.7.3 Parallels Desktop 7. All software updates are current.
    Also checked with run sysctl command and have VT-X supported. 
    Within the windows environment I have software that checks for periodic errors.  It now shows a bios error "Consider upgrading your bios".  This message does not show on the actual WIN PC.  Both environments are identical, as I just migrated and have not made any changes to either the PC or the VM. 
    Hope the additional info helps.

  • How can i get my Imac, running OSX 10.6.8 with a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, how can i get Final Cut Pro 4 and DVD studio pro 2 to run on it?

    I just bought an IMAC running OSX 10.6.8 (not sure what flavor that is). The processor is 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Late 2006). When i run Final Cut Pro 4 on it I get the following error.
                        "Configuration error
                           This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing
                                    * AGP graphics Card"
    If Final Cut Pro 4 doesn't run on my system, what version of Final Cut can I run on this as I am a filmmaker and really am comfortable with Final Cut Pro.
    On the same note I also have DVD studio Pro 2 and that just quits without any message.
    Hope any of you can be some help.
    Thank you,

    This is my first mac in a long time so i'm not sure about what this mac is as i didn't buy this from apple (ala Amazon). I'm a tad confused about the Intel/PowerPC thing. I do know the software version for sure, but the Intel/PowerPC is very confusing. I just need to find someone who would know about this question. It doesn't say G5 on this computer. Thats my biggest confusion. Help Me...

  • 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 am running 10.6.8 but can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor 1.83 GB memory. What should I do?

    My MacBook software is 10.6.8 but I can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB memory. What to do?

    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

    I keep getting a notice that an update is available:Firefox 4.0.1. When I try to download the update, the computer tries to download it, but it goes on forever and never finishes. I thought maybe this was because it is incompatible with my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

  • Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem or is it not compatible with the OS?

    Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?

    I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

    As mentioned by a number of users reporting the same problem, my 2009 iMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, has become extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since it was migrated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (OS 10.9 then OS 10.9.1).
    I have already run CleanMyMac, deleted 5GB of useless stuffs, which did not translate into any improvement. Following the advices collected in other Apple Support Community threads, I have applied EtreCheck the outcome of which is provided below.
    For information, I have also upgraded my 2011 MacBook CPU2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB which became only a bit slower than before, sometimes freezing which it almost never did before. However, I am used to the fact that Mac get usually slower and more prompt fo freeze after upgrading to a more recent OS.
    Both my 2009 iMac and my 2011 MacBook have F-Secure installed. So the problem with the 2009 IMac is unlikly to be due to the presence of F-Secure. Interestingly, the few abnormalities found by Etrecheck were exacly identical before I ran CleanMyMac. There are two more findings (mentioned below) since I ran CleanMyMac on the 2009 iMac, which again didn't improve the problem.
    So please find below the details of the EtreCheck experience and some additional measurements made with iStat while running EtreCheck:

    Please find now some additional measurements collected with iStat while running EtreCheck:
    Practically:
    The iMac can work slowly with only one software e.g. either Mail or Safari or Firefox, but still the below "out of Memory" message occurs about every 3 minutes.
    Aperture has becomre to slow to be useable
    If trying to write a mail (with Mail) while Safari or Firefox is open, then the "out of Memory" message occurs about every 20 seconds so I need to check on "Resume" several times per minute.
    Conclusions
    From the above, unless anyone in the Apple Support Community proves to be able to identify a specific problem leading to a way to find a cure, I tend to conclude that Mavericks is not suitable for computers operating with a Core 2 Duo CPU even with a 8GB of RAM.
    Unless I missed something, I did not see any warning from Apple Computer Inc. informing their customers they should refrain from upgrading Core 2 Duo Computers.
    The only solution I see so far is to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. And the Apple Support Community would confirm that it is the only solution, I would appreciate to get your guidance on how to proceed.
    Intended action plan
    Migrate the above 2009 iMac to a 2014 Mac Mini Server operating on Mavericks to ensure that no data may be lost while downgrading to Montain Lion.
    Provided the above downgrading operation is successful, assign this 2009 iMac to partial retirement e.g. Mail, Skype, iTunes  and DVD player.
    In advance, I would like to thank the Apple Community for helping me either i) finding a cure to the problem, ii) or confirming that Mavericks cannot operate properly on Core 2 Duo computers, iii) and in such a case, guiding me on how to downgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Yours sincerely

    ... what anti-virus would you recommend using?
    Use what is already included with OS X. It already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • My 27' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM iMac keeps restarting.

    My I wonder if anyone on here could help me.
    My 27' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM iMac keeps restarting all the time. It's been happening for months now but has got worse and worse. It started when I was using programmes like adobe Pr & Ae but now it happens when I have only have safari or other small apps open.
    What happens is the screen freezes, I can hear a clicking should and then the machine just restarts all of a sudden.
    I get the message: 'Your computer was restarted because of a problem. Click report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple' which I have done ever time for about 50+ times now in total. The 'problem details and system configuration' states the below:

    I use my iMac daily for work and it happens from 4-10 times a day depending on what applications i'm using. More if I'm trying to render a video. It is really furstrating and keeps me from doing any work at all, I can't keep working like this but I have no choise. I really can't be without my computer for very long as I use it to do everything and I do not have another. Also I have all my files on the hard drive. I have bought a Seagate external HD to back up my files onto so I can make a genus bar appointment but everytime I run time machine or try to copy any of my files over to the external HD the machine restarts and disrupts the file transfer. So I can't even back up my files which are really important to me. I even had to retype this whole message becuase my imac restarted while I was fulling in this question.
    What is worse is that I bought the extra warrenty (Apple Care) which is due to expire sometime in March 2014 I'm unsure of the date. Might have expired already I don't know. So I need to get this fixed ASAP.
    Extra information on the machine:
    iMac
    27-inch, Mid 2011
    Processor  3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
    Can anyone see from the information I have given about what could be wrong with my machine?
    Any help or assistance would be much appriciated.
    Thanks,
    James

    Hi.  I am currently having the same issue on my 2011 27"  3.1 GHz i5  with 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    For the last couple of months I have been experiencing random restarts, power offs and so on.  I have already had this escalated and had my machine taken into Apple to run a Hardware test.  They redid the newest OSX version in store and ran the AHT for an hour and got no results.  The Genius Bar were asked by Apple Canada to run an all night test.  According to Apple they ran the test for 4 hours and got nothing.  I was then told to take the machine home and run it with just the memory that was original in the machine.  I stressed tested the video card with a benchmark tool called Heaven for 2 hours.  90C was the temp and no failure.  I did a Terminal "Yes" loop for a couple of hours and no failure on the CPU.  I ran the Apple Hardware Test for 11 minutes and this is the result.
    I also have a video of what happened after I restarted the test after about a 5 minute cooldown period.  20 minutes into the test the Imac stalled and made 3 long beeps over and over again like an alarm with a long pause between.  I took the memory out of the DIMM 0 & 1 slots and replaced them in the 2&3 slots rand the test and got nothing after 2 hours.  I put the memory back in the original spot and ran it again and got no results.  Apple contacted the "Genius" techs and they informed them that I had fixed the problem and everything should be good now.  I was also told to go ahead and transfer back over my Time Machine Backup.  Since this all happened I have had the Imac restart 2 times in the last almost 2 weeks and today got this error message

    I would also like to add that The Second High Level tech I spoke to told me to use a program to take an image of what my computer was doing when the fresh install of Mavericks was installed and then again after the Time Machine restore.  I sent both and have had no response back. The "Engineers of Apple" would be taking a look at those files. This is what I was told anyway's.
    So I would like any advise because Apple hasn't been too helpful.  I haven't heard anything back at all. Its been a little while.  This seems that it could be an issue. I sat in the store speaking to a gentleman with a brand new iMac 27 inch that was having the same exact issues.  I was told his was newer so they were not the same.  The owner of the new iMac just rolled his eyes and laughed. James McConville seems to be having the same issue and I have read quite a few others before I saw this post from yesterday.
    Help Us Please.

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
