No option to upgrade to 2.33Ghz core duo

hey have you guys notice that there isn't an option to upgrade to the 2.33Ghz core duo processor.
I was just about to place an order for a macbook pro ... when I notice that.
Is it a glitch or maybe due to a shortage of the chips?
Better hold on to my 20" imac ... which I was planning on selling.

My bad ... think am getting my processors all mixed-up here. Guess the core duo doesn't come in a 2.33 Ghz speed.

Why can't I open mp4 movies in my new QuickTime Player. I just upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

I recently upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I opened one of my movie clips in mp4 file it was opened by my MPEG Streamclip and not with the new QuickTime Player that came with the new OS. I need to manually open the Quicktime Player and Open file the mp4 movie I want to play it. I have no problem with the QuickTime Pro that I was using in my previous OS before I upgraded. I did not encounter this problem, however, with my iMac Intel when I upgraded it to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The Quicktime Player in my iMac Intel automatically opens my mp4 movies. Only my flv files are opened automatically by my MPEG Streamclip as I expected to. Why?

Upgrading 2006 MBP Intel Core Duo to SSD?

My MBP is starting to become depressingly slow. After some research, it appears I'm maxed out at 2GB of memory!    I was wondering if anyone has any experience upgrading the hard drive to a SSD in the same model as mine? Would I notice a huge difference?
I want to install Lion, but am very nervous it will bring my computer to an unusable creep as I've heard from others.
My model # is here. And my hardware overview is as follows:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro1,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed:          2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          2 MB
Memory:          2 GB
Bus Speed:          667 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          MBP12.0061.B03
SMC Version (system):          1.5f10
120GB Serial ATA drive @ 5400 rpm
Thanks in advance to anyone that can give info/advice/links, etc. I've never actually upgraded a hard drive before so any tips would be much appreciated!

There is a common misconception that computers slow down over time. This is just not the case. There is no reason for your computer to run slower today than the day you bought it. There is usually something which causes your system to become slow. Things like low hard drive space and perhaps applications running in the background that you weren't aware of can impact speed. A failing hard drive can also cause problems.
As you currently have a 5400RPM 120GB hard drive, you will see a significant change in the amount of time it takes applications to launch with an SSD. Keep in mind, an SSD is only replacing your hard drive, so it is only increasing the speed of loading data from your drive. It won't speed up your applications (except, again, the drive access time for applications that may rely heavily on disk use). As you only have 2GB of RAM, your system likely pages data to your hard drive fairly often. This is when your RAM is "full" and it dumps some of the data to your hard drive so it can load more into the RAM. When you have a low amount of RAM to start with, this happens more often. As an SSD is somewhat faster, this becomes less noticeable.
Instructions for replacing your drive may be found in your user's manual. You should avoid going with SATA 6GB (aka SATA III). While they will work, the SATA speed on your system is SATA 1.5GB. Even if you get a SATA 6GB drive, it will only run at 1.5GB... so there's no sense in paying for the extra speed. You probably won't be able to find a SATA 1.5GB drive... but a SATA 3.0GB (SATA II) drive will be less expensive than a 6GB drive and it will perform just as well on your system. The drive in your system now doesn't come close to saturating the bandwidth of your SATA 1.5GB controller. So, even with the older SATA 1.5GB controller, you will still see a significant boost in speed with an SSD.
Having said all that... basically, yes... an SSD will make your system noticibly faster, but it will not boost processing speeds for your applications.

Looking to upgrade 2 GHz Intel Core Duo system if possible

I have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo 2 GB memory system, Bus speed 667 MHz. Running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Is there any way possible to upgrade the system? Also having trouble with viewing videos from web sites.

Can I upgrade my iMac intel core duo to run lion

I have an iMac 17" that works great is in great shape, just had a 500 gb hard drive installed...realized that I could not install the new Lion because I had an intel core duo processor and not an intel core 2 duo processor. I don't have the money to buy a new iMac...is there anyway to upgrade the processor?

Cannot be upgraded.
Although there are those that are crazy enough to try anything.

Is it possible for me to upgrade from an intel core duo processor to an intel i5 core processor?, Is it possible for me to upgrade from an intel core duo processor to an intel i5 core processor?

Hey guys, please help me out. I am an owner of a MacBook Pro with software 10.6.8 and I have a 2 GHz intel core duo processor, and I was wondering, if it is possible for me to upgrade to an i5 intel core processor, so I can install mavericks to my MacBook Pro.

There is no way to plug in a different processor on your older MacBook. Processors have been soldered in for quite a long time.
The only known method is to convert your MacBook to Cash (by selling it) and use the cash to buy a MacBook that better meets your needs.

Is there any way to upgrade my macbook from an intel core duo to a intel core 2 duo?

Core duo processor upgrade

Does anybody know if it is feasible to replace the 1.66GHz Intel core duo processor on the new Mac Mini with the 1.83GHz, 2.00GHz or 2.16GHz version?

I've managed to successfully upgrade my 1.66GHz Core Duo Mac mini to a 2GHz model, and so far it's been running fine. However, I don't recommend trying it unless you're prepared for the fact that you could be throwing the money for said Mac mini away.
The heatsink is held on by these horrid little clips, and right around a couple of the mounting holes is all kind of logic that you really don't want to go scratching up. It is VERY easy to damage this thing from the slightest slipup, and then you have to worry about things like putting in the correct amount of thermal paste, etc, etc. There's a very high possibility of damaging the system.
There's also the long term effects you have to consider. I'd wait a couple of months and watch crazy guys like me who rushed into it headfirst, and see what we have to say on the matter.
So.. technically possible? Yes. Feasible? Not sure. Risky? Extremely.

SSD in Macbook1,1 Core Duo?

Hi,
Wanting to get a little performance boost out of my Macbook and was wondering if anyone has had any luck upgrading a Macbook1,1 Core Duo (2006) with a SSD? I've seen posts about some trouble recognizing SSDs during install but nothing specific to my model or with any great detail. Just hoping to hear a few success stories before I lay out the cash for a 120GB SSD.
Thanks
Casey

You can get Snow Leopard here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
And ram here http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/Macbook_ selector
Or here http://www.crucial.com/
Stay away from "value" ram, your MacBook won't like it, stick with Crucial or OWC, both guarentee ram that will work in your Mac.

Airport Extreme 802.11n upgrade options for early Intel Core Duo iMac

I have an iMac from mid 2006. I recently purchased a Timecapsule - partly for the wireless back ups, and partly to upgrade my wireless network to 802.11n. There is a software upgrade from Apple that upgrades older 802.11 a/b/g Airport cards in the iMac to 'n' standard. Here is the link:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/D4141ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MjIzMDkzNA
The page states that the upgrade is compatible "If you have a Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)". What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work. I have also tried to install Airport Extreme updates (2007002 and 2008004) and these report that the hardware is not compatible. Doing some searching around these forums and others, the issue with the original Core Duo iMacs not being upgradeable to 802.11n is out there - shame Apple weren't more explicit.
I have seen that there are various USB based 802.11n adapters available. Whilst searching on this topic, I also came across a site offering various Mac upgrades, including an upgrade to the Airport card to upgrade wireless capability from 802.11g to 802.11n. It looks like a straight replacement for the internal card - link here:
http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/productinfo.php?productsid=461
The company offering this is in the UK, but the product appears to be from a Sonnet, a US company. Does anyone out there have experience of installing this product (or having it installed) and can you comment on how it performs? Is it a seamless replacement for the original Airport card?

What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work.
If it says you need to have a Core "2" Duo processor, then it seems to me they are telling you very clearly that it will not work with the earlier Core (no "2") Duo iMacs.
The "late 2006" iMacs with Core 2 Duo (except for that one education model they mentioned) have wireless networking hardware that is 802.11n capable. When they were initially sold, Apple chose to NOT enable the "n" capability for some reason; maybe because the standard was still in flux and not enough testing had been done with the driver. Later, they enabled the "n" capability with a firmware update. But that was only possible because the wireless hardware was already capable of doing "n."
Earlier iMacs do not have this hardware so there is no way to enable it with a firmware or software update. 802.11g is plenty fast enough for Internet access (you won't notice a difference with "n"). If you are using Time Machine over wireless, it may take a while longer to do that initial backup (you could connected it by Ethernet cable when it is doing that initial backup), but subsequent backups are incremental, so the "g" versus "n" speed difference will not be as critical. Since your iMac is Core Duo (32-bit) and the future of Mac OS X is 64-bit, especially after Snow Leopard's release, it may be best to save your money and keep your iMac intact (not opened).

I have a Mac mini OSX 10.4.11 Intel Core Duo, 512mb, 1.83 GHz with iTunes 9.0.3. What steps do I need to take to get my music library to my iPad. I dont think I meet the requirements to just upgrad to snow leopard and/or lion. I want the music I paid for

I have a Mac mini OS X 10.4.11, intel core duo processor (not core 2 duo), with 512 mb and 1.83 GHz processor. I only have version 9.0.3 of iTunes because it hasn't let me go higher, which I believe is because of the operating system. I want to get my purchased music from the Mac mini to a different computer (that has the latest version of iTunes) and also my iPad. The Mac mini does not meet the requirements listed to simply upgrade to snow leopard or lion. As far as I can tell. Forgive me if I am lacking here...this is new to me. What can I do to get the music transferred. I have invested alot of money over the past few years on all this music that I should be able to transfer. Thank you in advance if you can help me.

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

Firmware upgrade for core duo imacs

i recently tried to upgrade the firmware on my core duo 20in imac, I went to the network utility where it only showed 802.11a,b,g indicating that it was the correct machine for the upgrade. I tried to install the upgrade and got the message the hardware on this computer is not right for the upgrade, or something like that.
Any help/advice as to why I cannot upgrade what seems to be a qualifying computer, this will make a big difference to my network.

taoryu, Welcome to the discussion area!
First of all how do you post a new topic on Apple Discussions.
It' very simple:
You go to the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard > Mail and Address Book discussion area.
Click on the link titled "Post New Topic".
I have some friends who have prying eyes. I have some valuable information come through apple mail. They are not on the computer that often, so I'd rather NOT make a separate user account, but for the few times they are, I don't want Apple Mail so easy to access. Is there a way of securing the information like a password. EVERY email application I've seen has this option, Apple Mail must have something similar. Any ideas???
You already know the answer. Create a separate OS X user account and force them to log into that.

I have a MacBook running OS X v10.6.8 and I'm trying to upgrade to Mouton Lion but I can"t download it from the app store. It says I need a intel core duo which i have. does anyone know whats happening here?

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
