My Mac has an 1.86 Intel Core Duo, does that mean I can't get Lion?

My Mac has a 1.86 Intel Core Duo, which is not listed for use with Lion, but I'm wondering how if it would work anyway.  Just replaced the harddrive recently, and it otherwise meets our needs, don't want to upgrade, but want to use ICloud.  Any thoughts?

It won't work at all. Lion will not allow you to install on a Core Duo because Lion requires a 64-bit processor. Your computer is only 32-bit. You can either sell your computer or give it away and buy a newer model.

  • The name for my email in thunderbird now has a Paddle Lock showing on it. What does this mean? Can I get it off?

    When I open thunderbird and get logged in my Email address name at the top of my thunderbird email has a Paddle Lock on it. What does that mean? Can I get it off? I am using a VERIZON email address. Over the last 2 days I have not been able to down load any of my incoming email messages. It keeps asking me for my Password which I type in and then it says its incorrect. After resubmitting my password I get a Error message says #0012 password incorrect. Is this something thunderbird did or happened from the new update for Ver. 31.1.2? I need help.

    The padlock indicates a secure connection to the server. You don't want to get rid of that.
    Please check with Verizon whether something has changed on their end.

    Anything I can do, Niel?
    Enjoy it and by the time your machine finally kicks the bucket there will be three more cats gone by.
    Likely there won't be any keyboards, trackpads, cd/dvd or hard drives or even screens.
    They will just stick a Mac-borg implant in your head and you wave your fingers around in the air to access data.
    Think of all the money you'll save in between!

    Give this a try:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main 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.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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.

  • I was trying to add music onto my new ipod, and my itunes said it needs version 10.6.3. i then downloaded it, then it said it requires mac os x version 10.6.8. what does that mean?

    i was trying to add music onto my new ipod, and my itunes said it needs version 10.6.3. i then downloaded it, then it said it requires mac os x version 10.6.8. what does that mean?

    If it's a fourth generation or earlier model, you need to download iTunes 10.6.3; the newer versions won't run on 10.5.8.
    If it's a fifth generation iPod touch, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, which requires an Intel Mac, and then run Software Update. This also works with earlier iPods but isn't the best solution.

  • Mac OS X on my Intel Core Duo PC

    I own an Intel Core Duo PC. Since, Windows Vista is a pain in the butt, I am wondering if there is any apparent reason why I shouldn't just buy a copy of the Intel based Mac OS X and install it on my machine?
    I called tech support, but they couldn't give me anything difinitive. Does anyone have any experience with this?
    Thanks,
    Kory
      Other OS  

    For one reason, the Tiger retail install package is not Universal. It includes a PPC binary only - written for a Mac with a PowerPC processor only. The Tiger install package that ships with a new Mac purchase is model and build specific including the install package that ships with an Intel Mac.
    Regardless, this can't be done without a hack of some sort and even if successful it won't be worth the trouble and effort involved since much on your PC will not be supported by OS X.
    In addition, this would violate Apple's license agreement.
    Sorry but if you want to run the best OS, you need to purchase a Mac.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Has anyone with an Intel Core Duo got lm_sensors to work?

    I keep getting a message about no sensors being found.  I've followed the wiki, but I just can't seem to get it to work for my Core Duo.
    If you have got it to work, can you please let me know which modules sensors-detect told you to load?

    I have it working on my new system.
    I tried to just build the driver for beyond but it would not work so I found a patch and rebuilt the kernel.  An updated patch has now been sent to iph for inclusion in -beyond.
    I then built lm_sensors-svn from the AUR and low and behold:

    So, yes, it works but it might a little while before all the support is available mainline.

  • Imac intel core duo (2008) crashed and wont reboot after Mountain Lion upgrade

    Hi can anyone help?
    Hi, my imac was loaded with Snow Leopard and I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few days ago and today when I got back from leaving it a few hours the screen went funny!!! (see pic) and it wont reboot. The same screen appears straight away when restarting. I have tried holding down the shift for safe start but it didnt work and also a nv/ram pram reset (but only heard one 'mac sound')
    I have my old snow leopard disk..............somewhere!!! but I'm not sure if I can boot from them if I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion via the app store download??
    I didnt do a boot disk! (yes I know) or a back up (yep again...I know!) so if anyone has any ideas on how to help :-) I'd be very grateful!!
    Thanks Melanie
    PS is the problem called a Kernel Panic????

    I'm afraid my next piece of advice you won't like. I think you need to erase the drive and reinstall Mountain Lion from scratch.
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on
          the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero
            Data option to one-pass. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • All i have to do is buy the imovie which is Mac os x version 10.7.4 what does that mean? $15 but it says i need

    I need help getting this imovie on a used mac that was just bought for christmas I tried to download it from the website and is it $15 and when i try to download it a message pops up saying i need Mac Os x 10.7.4 version what is this because i downloaded it and then another thing popped up. Please Help!

    Hi
    Go up to the top left hand corner (with the black Apple)
    In this menu - go down one step to - About this Mac
    Now You get a small window saying what Mac OS You are running.
    New Macs use Mac OS X.8.? (10.8.n)
    And the iMovie program that is for download needs at least Mac OS X.7.4 (10.7.4)
    And here You read what Mac processor etc You've got - like this
    and as You see - I use Mac X.6.8 - and can not use the latest iMovie until I up-grade the Mac OS.
    And to me X.6.8 are very stable - so I wait till I'm forced to up-grade.
    I use iMovie 11 (vers 9.0.4)
    Yours Bengt W

  • I just downloaded the Adobe Acrobat DC update on my Mac (Yosemite). Now, I can't open any of my PDFs. I'm getting the message "Internal Error Occurred." What does that mean, and can someone help me?

    HELP!

    Hi Sukrit,
    Am also facing the same issue.
    I get below error messages when i open a PDF.
    "An internal error occured"
    I have installed new windows 7 and i was not having pdf viewer. I just downloaded the latest adobe acrobat reader DC for the adobe site and installed in my PC. Thing is, am able to open some of the PDF files (word document that is converted into PDF). But scanned images for example photo or mark sheets that are converted into PDF, am getting this error message.
    I tired almost everything.
    1) un-installed and installed again.
    2) installed previous version of adobe
    3) unchecked the "Enable, protection mode during startup"
    4) tried setting zero for "bproectmode" in the regedit (key_host_local_machine->adobe->dc> Dword with value 0)
    5) created new administrator account, and even there, i got the same error message.
    6) tried repair installation said by Sukrit...
    But nothing fixed my issue
    Please someone help me in fixing this issue.
