My iMac has an Intel Core Duo processor, what can be done to upgrade to Lion?

my IMac has an Intel Core Duo processor.  What can be done it to allow me to upgrade to Lion?

Got 2GB of RAM and 7GB of disk space as well?
Got current BACKUPs in case something goes horribly wrong?
If so, upgrade/update to 10.6.6 or later and The App Store icon appears. For US$29.99, you can download Lion.
If you fear you will need a DVD of it, you must make one after downloading and BEFORE you install, as the image is consumed during the Install, and not available afterward.

    I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8 but want to upgrade to Lion. My Mac that has an Intel Core Duo Processor (I know really outdated huh) but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade or will it mess it up?

    It actually shouldn't allow you to upgrade. Your configuration should be detected and then it should reject your attempt to upgrade.

    Not a bummer. What is wrong with the OS you are now using?
    If it Ain't broken don't try to fix it.
    Be Happy you don't have to deal with all the changes and inconsistencies that Lion has created between it and older Mac OSs

    I have a macbook pro with a 2.16 Ghz Intel core Duo processor. Can I install the iOS 5 software?

    iOS 5 is for iDevices, not OS X. Your iDevice would only require 10.5.8 or later. If you have a Mac with a Core Duo processor then you cannot install Lion but you can install Snow Leopard provided you have at least 1 GB of RAM installed.

  • Will FCP X work on an iMac with an Intel Core Duo processor?

    FCP X requirements are for a 64bit processor.
    The Intel Core Duo is 32bit, so does that mean FCP X will not work at all on it?
    Or will it work but with reduced performance capabilities?

    I checked it on the oldest IMac I have. Seems to work so far .....

  • Is my MacbookPro 64 bit capable? It has an Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of Memory and runs the OSx Lion 10.7.5 system, Want to confirm before I install SW that requires 64 bit. Thanks.

    Is my MacBook Pro 64 bit capable?

    Yes it is a 64bit CPU and the OS is 64bit.
    The worst thing that could happen is the software won't either install or it won't run.

  • I have an imac with intel core duo processor.  Will I be able to upgrade to the new Lion system that icloud is associated with?

    I have an Imac with the Intel Core Duo Processor.  Will I be able to upgrade to the new OSX Lion?

    You need a Core 2 Duo or later to use Lion.  You will need to install Snow Leopard in order to access the Mac App Store to download Lion when it becomes available.

  • My Mac has an intel Core Duo. Can I install Lion?

    My IMac has a 1.83 GHz intel core duo processor.  Can I install the new Lion software?

    I'm afraid not. I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro 17" 2.16 GHz.
    The Core Duo is not supported with Lion - you need Core 2 Duo or higher.
    See "Step 1 Make sure your Mac can run Lion." in link below.

    (sigh) One of the problems of being an early adaptor, I guess.

  • My mac has a intel core duo, not a intel 2 core duo, can I still upgrade to lion

    My Mac has an intel core duo processor, will I still be able to upgrade to Lion? What do I need to do if I can't?

    I have a similar question.
    I have a 2006 xeon macpro.
    Will i beable to upgrade to lion.
    I saw this on the website today.
    Step 1:Make sure your Mac can run Lion.
    Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac.

    Until I installed the SMC FanControl application my screen would "break up" into strange patterns and then would eventually freeze.  Please help.

    If you are trying to upgrade using a gray-faced OS X disk from another system, that won't work, as those disks are locked to the system types they are delivered with. You'll need to drop the $29 on a retail copy of Snow Leopard, which is available from the Apple online store. Note Snow Leopard requires 1GB minimum, and you may want at least 2GB for better performance.

  • 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.

  • What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

    What is the most effective way to get my imac 2 ghz intel core duo 2 10.4.11 to be able to run 10.5 and sync with my iphone 4s?

    As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
    Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
    You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
    For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • HT2452 Is it possible to upgrade this IMAC to an Intel Core i7 Processor (2600K 4x3.40GHz) ?

    Is it possible to upgrade this IMAC to an Intel Core i7 Processor (2600K 4x3.40GHz) ?

    Technically, it is possible.
    You can upgrade the processor. I just upgraded mine earlier today.
    I took me about 5 hours and voided whatever little warranty I had left.
    The iMacs are standard Intel socket 1155.
    As long as your TDP and Architecture is the same, they will work in 27".
    Since you have the 2009 27" (as do I, just finished upgrading mine!) the absolute quickest you can go is a Core i7 880.
    If you want a guide, HardMac has one.
    Everymac has more info on the topic.

  • 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?
