Recent trouble with a Billion 7100s and Intel Core 2 Duo

Hey folks,
I'm on a shared wireless network in my flat using a Dlink wireless router and Billion 7100s modem. This has been working fine for about 4 or 5 months on my iMac, but over the past week troubles have arisen.
Now, the Billion seems to randomly disconnect me. I can still contact the router, and see the router's page, but all attempts to browse the internet or view the modem completely fail.
I can solve this by hard restarting the modem, but after a seemingly random interval it disconnects me again.
What's odd is that it doesn't happen to any of the PCs on the network, and it works fine if I go through Windows on Parallels.
Anything to do with the recent iMac firmware updates, perhaps?
Any help would be appreciated immensely.

Hello grimskunk,
The Intel E6600 processor should be supported by BIOS v1.5 as well.  A lot of users were using E6600 + P965 Platinum before BIOS v1.6 was available, so the problem is not your current BIOS version.
Please provide more information about your system.  Read the >>Posting Guide<< to get an idea of what we need to know.
Have you cleared CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU after assembling the system?

  • I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion? to use icloud.

    Apple keep telling me I need to update to icloud but I'm not sure if Lion will work on my Mac. I've upgraded to snow leopard which seems to have knackered my .me or .mac account (whatever it's called now), so I don't seem to have any option but to upgrade to Lion if I every want to see my emails again.
    Apple say I must have a Intel Core 2 processor for Lion to work...... at least I think that's what they say.
    I have a mac book pro, 2006 with an 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, can I update to Lion?

    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    If you have a Core Duo model then you cannot upgrade to Lion. You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but iCloud is not available for Snow Leopard.
    Open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. Look for the Model ID in the displayed information. If you have a MacBookPro 2,1 or later then you have a Core 2 Duo model and can upgrade to Lion.

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

    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.

  • Is Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Mac Mini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo

    Hello, I’m using Mac Mini 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo with Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  When I try to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 I receive this error message:  “Some errors occurred during installation. Adobe  Elements 11 can be installed on 64-bit systems only.”  Here is the question: is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with my computer and operating system? I guess my computer runs at 32-bit. Why do I receive that error message when I try to instal the Trial version of the software? I have read that Photoshop Elements 11 is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Thank you.

    On prodesigntools.com
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-premiere-elements-11-are-out-pse-pre.html
    they say Photoshop Elements 11 running native in 32-bit:
    Photoshop & Premiere Elements 11 will run well on 32-bit or 64-bit systems, and are designed for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Mac OS v10.6 through v10.8 (see the full system requirements for PSE 11 on Windows/Mac; and PRE 11 on Windows/Mac). 
    Premiere Elements 11 comes with a native 64-bit version for higher performance – in other words, the PRE Editor now runs native on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
    Photoshop Elements 11 continues as before, running native in 32-bit and compatibly on 64-bit systems.

  • Logic Pro X compatibility with mbox 2 mini and 2009 core duo macbook

    I currently have Pro Tools LE 8.0.3 and an Mbox2 Mini, both of which amazingly still work on Mountain Lion 10.8.4.  I'm interested in learning Logic and am trying to confirm compatitility with the Mbox2 Mini on a first generation core duo Aluminum Macbook (2.4 Ghz) running 4gb of RAM.  The system requirements just say 10.8.4 or later with a 64 bit processor.  The Macbook runs fine, and I primarily just record stereo piano tracks, so it's not like I'm going to have 16 tracks running on it.  Anyone using an Mbox2 Mini, and any issues with the hardware?

    It's not an external device's compatibility with LPX that matters...
    It's your external hardware's compatibility with whatever OS X version you are using to run LPX in.... that is important.
    Im guessing you upgraded OS X about the same time you switched to LPX?
    So....
    Make sure you have installed the drivers and software from this page....
    http://www.apogeedigital.com/support/quartet#tab-id-1
    Failing that, contact Apogee support for further assistance
    http://www.apogeedigital.com/support/contact-support
    Note: Why is it showing Duet and not Quartet briefly? Are you sure you installed the correct drivers or did you, at one time have a Duet?
    Additional: You might want to try this.. though I doubt it will fix things... but this can cure all kinds of weird issues...
    Delete both the main plist and the CS file...
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    Quit Logic Pro
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    Restart the computer.
    Note: if you cannot find either of these files you didn't follow the instructions exactly as described

  • Scanner and intel core duo

    Does anyone know if Minolta Dimage Scan Multi pro (firewire) will work on iMac intel? Minolta has recently given up his photography business and don't know if I can expect some software upgrade.

    I don't like to push any brand of drivers that cost additional money.
    Since the introduction of OS X, virtually all the scanners for OS 9 were left out in the cold.
    I came across this option when I migrated to OS X and it works. I looked and it appears your unit is also supported.
    There are ways to get around having to buy the full version(s).
    I recently purchased the Professional version as it suits my home office requirements.
    They are constantly updating the drivers.

  • HT203177 I have a 2TB Imac, 10.7.2, with 2.8 processor and Intel Core i7, with 16 Gb of memory, and 1067 MHz DDR3.  I have tried to backup to a WD 4TB. It ran for almost 7 hours, and then the little box came up saying it had 5 seconds, but would not stop.

    I have tried backing up my iMac using Time Machine.  I have 727 GB on the 2 TB internal hard drive. I am trying to back up to a 4TB WD extrnal hard drive.  Everything seems to work fine, even though it took almost 7hours to go through the process, then the little progress box should it had 5 seconds left, but it kept running and running for another 4 hours, until i finally shut it down.
    The WD hard drive shows that it has used 1.61 TB on the disk, but I cannot find anything in Time Capsule.  I open the hard drive to see what is on it, and it just shows that it is in progress.
    I'm lost and looking for suggestions.

  • Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 and Intel Core Duo

    Hey there!
    Not sure where else to post this, so here goes.....
    I'm a total "newbie" and don't know SQUAT about anything but I'm trying to understand "video editing".
    A copy of "Final Cut Pro HD" that is supposed to be "4.5" has come my way. Will this work on my iMac? Can I load it in without any problems? Should I even bother?
    ANY and all info would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thank You!

    The first version of FCP that was compatible with Intel processor Macs was version 5.1. The current version available is 6.0 (part of FCS 2).
    FCP 5.0 and older (including version 4.5) was written for PPC processor Macs and are not compatible with the Intel processors in your iMac. If you can get it to install, it won't run properly.

  • ARD Admin and Intel Core Duo MacBook

    I just received my new Macbook and used the Migration to transfer everything from my old 14" iBook. When finished, everything so far appears to be working fine except my ARD Admin. When first launching the app, I had to reenter the serial number. Now I get a message each time I launch the app stating that "The Remote Desktop Administrator software is out-of-date." I am instructed to go to software update and check for new software. That process results in word that my software IS up to date. I have tried doing a reinstall of the ARD software, with no help. What all do I need to remove in order to remove all the old software to do a new install? My boss is using the same software version on his MacBook Pro without problems. We are running ARD Version 2.2.
    Also, I have some saved tasks on my laptop ARD that I would like to set up on my desktop G4. Is there an easy way to complete this process?
    Thanks

    I know that ARD likes the client to be as new as the Administrator software. I wonder if it doesn't like that your administrator is 2.2 and your client is more than likely 3.0 or higher being a new machine?
    Is the client enabled on your laptop? If it is, try turning it off, then restart and start the admin software.

  • Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2 overheating and turning off

    I've been having this nasty problem with my Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2 (2.8 Ghz, 4 MB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, bought in August 2009) for quite a while, but recently it's intensifying.
    It starts to overheat badly, and then randomly turns itself off if not connected to the power.
    When restarted, the clock is set to January 1st, 2001.
    Needless to say, the overheating impacts on my capacity to use the computer the way I want, destroying my fps in games and slowing the processor while I use Ableton Live to produce music.
    I tried to look around, but I cannot figure out if this is a known issue of some sorts, or a problem related to this very computer: I did read on the forums a suggestion to run the Hardware Tests from the Snow Leopard DVD by booting the system with the DVD in while holding d, but nothing happens if I do so.
    Thank you all in advance!

  • Power PC vs Intel Core Duo

    Hi guys, I am in a process of buying a new computer... here are the two choices I am considering.
    iMac G5
    $1,499.00
    Specifications
    20-inch widescreen LCD
    2.1GHz PowerPC G5
    512MB memory (533MHz DDR2 SDRAM)
    250GB Serial ATA hard drive
    Slot-load 8x double-layer SuperDrive
    ATI Radeon X600 XT with 128MB DDR video memory
    what I like
    20 inch screen
    big 250G hard drive
    Price (1,699.00 for a Core duo w/ a 20in is over my budget)
    iMac 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo
    $1,299.00
    17-inch widescreen LCD with 1440x900 resolution
    1.83GHz Intel Core Duo with 2MB shared L2 cache
    512MB (single SO-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    160GB Serial ATA hard drive
    Slot-load 8x double-layer SuperDrive
    ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB GDDR3 memory
    Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0
    what I like
    Best Price for an iMac
    newer technology - Airport Extreme, Graphics Card etc.
    Now the problem
    I can't decide! Screen Size and HD space are important to me... but new technology at a cheaper price is VERY tempting!
    Question is.... is Intel Core Duo THAT superior to PowerPC?
    Please iMac gurus ....help me out!

    well, how critical and powerful is your rig? i only use my imac g4 (soon to be the G5) for ideas and such, also to trade logic files back and forth w/ a friend of mine. live I don't use, nor do i have experience with that app. my buddy, however, has dual g4's and records live music, drums, guitars, etc and really needs that added power, so ask yourself, how much will you be running. if going for the whole live band thing, i would go with the power mac. currently the system has been reliable and proven and fast enough to handle most of your tasks. the intel is fast, but still has kinks and bugs in it, and not all apps, especially 3rd party are univeral yet. that my friend, will cause your music to suffer, and you do not want that.
    the m-audio oxygen 8 is what i use, in addition to the tascam us-122. neither are unversal yet, and like i said i couldn't wait for them to be released, it was interuppting my productivity. and i didn't want to go with the firewire 410 (an excellent unit by the way) because it meant more money for me to spend!

  • 7 angles (cameras) edit - is it possible for iMac 3,06 Intel Core Duo?

    or i want too much?
    Hi there! I have 7 tracks of ProRes HQ 1920 X 1080 50i to perform a multitrack edit. Problem is - doesn't show a realtime preview, so i can't choose a proper track
    Is it possible with my iMac 3,06 Intel Core Duo, 2 Gigs of RAM, + strip 1TB raid? I guess i'm in lack of memory If i increase the amount of RAM to, lets say, 8 Gigs - would it solve a problem?
    If not - is there a way of some low resolution editing? Thanks

    ProRes HQ, certainly not. Definitely not over Firewire and almost certainly not over even the internal drive (not that you'd want media on your system drive anyways). Yes for low-res editing, it's called offline editing. Someone else will probably have a lint for you to Kenstone or Creative Cow to easily tell you what to do, but when I did it for me, I went from DVCPro HD to DV NTSC. As long as you export the correct timecode, you should be set to then edit in that offline format's sequence then Media Manage back to the full-quality files.
    Hope this helps,

  • 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.
