The intel processor

can anybody tell me what's going on with this imac g5 intel processor? i have macs for many years. i got the new imac g5 intel core duo processor and i'm completally frustrated. its slow, it freezes all the time. when it happened for the first time i almost had a heart attack. i could not believe that a mac could do that. i spend 3 minutes looking at the screen saying: oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. if i see a ET in my back yard, i would not be so surprised as this.
it can not do 2 simple tasks at the same time. it should right? my g4 500 is better. i aready reinstalled the op. suggestion buy a mac genius. repeat, genius.
now my cs2 is not working. so pc problems in a mac. thats what i would never expect. im sad. why apple is using us to fine tune this thing?

There are things about the PPC version of CS2 that conflict with the Universal version of OS X. Do not install Version Cue, it's incompatible. Some folks have had problems with Acrobat Standard and Pro. Adobe has supposedly released an update to Acrobat to address the problem. If you have problems with your iMac Intel Core Duo and have installed CS2, those are your main culprits to suspect cause the problems. Remove all traces of Version Cue and update Acrobat ASAP.
As far as CS2, Adobe has said that CS3 will be a Universal binary, but won't be available until sometime in 2007. CS3 will probably be a regularly priced upgrade, so don't get your hopes up for any special trade-ins or pricing.
My Core Duo runs flawlessly and I have CS2 and the Macromedia apps installed. So if you are having problems with your Core Duo, its not the Mac, its what you have installed as 3rd party software. Time to figure out what you installed and start trouble shooting.

My iphone 4s will not sync on my mac; I'm running 10.4.11 and I do not have the intel processor; iphone does not show up as a device

My iphone 4s will not snyc on my mac at home; I'm running 10.4.11 and do not have the intel processor; on my work computer my iphone is recognized as a device in itunes, but my music library can only be located on my older mac at home.

The iPhone REQUIRES OS X 10.5.8 or higher. This is clearly stated in the documentation and on the web site. There is no magic that will make it work with 10.4.x.

Where can I get an external mobil hard drive to back up my PowerBook G4 without the Intel processor?

Where and what kind (brand) of external, mobil hard drive can I get to back up my PowerBook G4 without the Intel processor? I have 93GB of Memory and operating system OS X 10.5.8. Thank you.

Gee, I hope I understand this right, you can get a Terabyte from Walmart for around $120.00.
There is one major problem with the drives you get from just walking into a Walmart or Costco or Best Buy: They are usually one interface only, and that interface is USB. That's not a problem for new Macs with USB 3, where mass-market USB 3 drives are a great and cheap solution.
But for regular transfers with older Macs, I have always found great benefit in using a drive with multiple interfaces that bridge old and new Macs and PCs. The USB version in the PowerBook, USB 2.0, has always been a slow solution. It's slower than FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and Gigabit Ethernet. For my regular backups on G3/G4 Macs and most MacBook Pros, FireWire or Gigabit Ethernet have always been the way to go because they just save so much time over USB 2.0. Maybe not for small incremental daily backups, but when moving large collections of music/videos/photos, or especially when migrating to newer equipment.
That is why like the others here, I greatly prefer the OWC drives with multiple interfaces. The slow, awful USB ports work well for old FireWire-less Macs and for PCs, while FireWire 800 and eSATA get full-disk backups and mass transfers done in a fraction of the time as the poor soul waiting for USB 2.0 to finish. (Today's multi-TB disks can take hours to copy even with FireWire 800.)
If the priority is to save money over saving time, a cheap USB drive is fine, and USB 3 will be much faster than FireWire when you get a new Mac. But I've long valued the ability of a multi-interface drive from OWC to plug into any Mac or PC put in front of me and be able to transfer data using whatever the fastest option is.
I wouldn't worry about formatting drives from non-Mac stores since that takes about 10 seconds in Apple Disk Utility.

Some apps no longer recognizing the intel processor

Have a friend with a white macbook. Last week it was running things like Netflix instant and an accounting program called Alex without issue. This week, both of these are throwing errors that the machine is not using an intel processor, so the programs/functions cannot be used. Any idea what this could be? Permissions were repaired, PRAM reset, the issue persists.

Do any other programs cause problems? Have you tried running them in another user account?

Using Modem MA034Z with MacBook Pro with Intel Processor

I have just bought the MacBook Pro to replace my old PowerBook G4 but find I no longer have an internal modem (Thanks Apple!! - we dont all send all our time in major metropolises)
I have read a couple of reviews stating the MA034Z apple modem does not work with the Intel processor in the MacBook Pro. Any substantiation?
Can anyone guide me to an external modem that works. I just need simple dial up - no faxing

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I have the Apple USB Model MA034 external modem which I got when I bought my MBP in September 2007. I have used it for dial up internet ever since, and have had absolutely no issues with it. I use it for dial up both at home and when I travel. It works perfectly.
I find it hard to imagine that Apple would provide a modem that would not work with the MBP. It may be worth reviewing the reviews, and possibly posting a link so that their assertions about the modem can be evaluated.
Good luck!

Sims 2 and other games on the intel imac?

Hi there just bought the Imac and am new at all this stuff. My girlfriend wanted to get Sims 2 , and i wanted to first check if it will run ok on the Imac with the intel processor?
thanks!
a

It not only runs (many legacy programs ran under Rosetta).
But with this upgrade, it runs under Intel on the Mac natively.

Mac didn't accept 8.0. I have OSX but no intel processor

I have upgraded to mac 10.5.8 but I have an older mac that doesn't have the intel processor. When I tried to update firefox I lost my older version and now cannot use firefox at all. Is there somewhere or someway to reload firefox?

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. '''Firefox 4 and later require at least''' OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.
Firefox(supported) 3.6.24 (Mac OS X 10.4 and later with PowerPC's) can be found here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
A group of Mac users have created their own community build from the "Firefox 4+" versions.

DW MX quits on MacBookPro w/ Intel processor

Hi, I just bought a MacBook Pro laptop with the Intel
processor. Dreamweaver MX will NOT run on this machine, it
unexpectedly quits at various times--when I try to connect to my
remote host, when I launch, when I sneeze... is there a patch?
Vicky

I hope you find out and are willing to share info with m.
Same problem with my Intel iMac.
It is tooooooo bad that Adobe doesn't have a fix for us -
appearantly, or maybe I don't have the magic word for their search.
Please let me know.

Msi p67A gd80 - Intel processor diagnostic tool test.

Just ran the Intel processor diagnostic tool test, when I leave all settings to default i get test FAIL.
If I swith off the "Base Clock Test"I´m able to complete the test.
Is this normal?
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19792

Yes, ran the first test at 4400 mhz and mem 1866mhz.
changed these to default setting 3400 mhz and 1333 mhz, but if I leave the Base Clock test on, i get
the following.:
==================================================
--- FSB NOT Supported on this Processor ---
--- Running Base Clock test ---
Detected Base Clock --> 99
!!! --- Base Clock test Fail --- !!!
==================================================
Eventhough the Base clock in the bios is set at 100, I just see Intel Detected 99?
should if increase the base clock slightly in the bios and if so to which setting 101?
tks.

Mini Mac w/Intel processor : does it support OS9.x

Does the new mini-mac w/Intel processor support OS9.x? I've read that the mini-macs cannot start up in OS9. But I have the impression the mini-macs with Apple cores have an OS9 folder for those applications requiring OS9. Not sure if this is true for the ones with INTEL cores. Or for that matter if other software must be modified for the INTEL processors [Microsoft office, photoshop, printer, scanner, burner utilities] or whether the Tiger Intel version takes care of those issues [assuming I've updated the applications to OS10.4]. In other words, if separate updates are necessary for these applications depending on which core processor is in the computer. The main issue I see is with the Logitech 4000 webcam, which works with OS9.1-9.2.1, 10.1 and 10.2.
Jim

Jim,
Depends on the the speed and memory in the Cube. Either Jaguar or Panther will probably be good, if you have enough memory. Jaguar was the first "usable" OSX and I lived with it for a few years, but I like Panther much more.
I found, with enough real memory, Panther runs faster than Jag on my 500MHz PBG4.
Don't give up on your Intel Mac tho'. Keep checking Sheepshaver (in google) to see when it becomes Universal Binary. That might faster than OS9 on the Cube.

Intel Processor Unit Identification

Does anyone know if there is a mac friendly version of the intel processor identifiaction software available? apparently intel does not offer this for mac.

Hi, Harpo. What information do you need about your processor, and what for? If you'll tell us exactly what your machine's processor speed, screen size, and Model Identifier (from System Profiler > Hardware) are, we'll be able to direct you to additional information about it.
You can also download Hardware Monitor and view information about your processor in its System Information > More info window.

What is the best I7 Intel processor to get on the Macbook Pro 15"? Are these processors 2nd generation processors? Does it matter? Should I wait until - when? - for 2nd generation processors to be used? Does the 2.5 Mh processor make a difference?

I'm about to order a MacBook Pro 15". I wonder if the I7 processors are 2nd generation or if it matters. Also, is there significant benefit to getting the 2.4 or 2.5 Ghz processor over the 2.2? I'm not a gamer or graphics manipulator, but I do look at (not edit) a lot of video for my work, and I typically multi-task, having many applications and internet windows open at once. Also, I will be running Windows for work access and applications. Of course, I have little idea what makes a difference in my use experience, except I plan to get max RAM and probably the fastest hard drive. Any advice welcome.

Steve,
I appreciate your focus on assistance, and thank you for your help. Couple of follow up questions: What you said about the new specs suggests that the MacBook Pro line has recently been upgraded with, what, the 2nd gen Intel chips, some other incremental improvements? So maybe it has paid off to crawl along with my old mac to get the latest tech. For these kinds of upgrades, I guess Apple doesn't advertise that they have the latest chips (I've seen PC ads touting the 2nd gen chips, and checked out the Intel site, so that's how I became aware) and all?
I'm planning to enjoy this computer for quite some years. Of course I will get the 3 yr extended warranty. And I was planning to get the hi res antiglare screen: that seems to be the best of the options. It looks like one can now get a faster 750 Gb fast drive, instead of having to settle for 500 in the faster version. The cost does add up, but my feeling was to go for broke and get the best machine I can. So does getting the faster cpu and hd and max ram (perhaps buying third party) and all make sense, assuming I can afford it when I add everything up, or is it like a moderately good guitar player getting a top of the line guitar he can't really play well enough to warrant it? (I remember a story about a student under Segovia arriving with a very very expensive guitar when he was still early in the learning process; it may be apocryphal, but story goes that Segovia took the guitar from the student and smashed it to smithereens. I assume that was not just because the student mistook the instrument for skill in playing it, but perhaps also because he would be too careful with such an expensive instrument, and fail to master it. Maybe not a perfect analogy, but I could be mislead by seeking the "best barn burner on the block" when what I need is what will work fine for my purposes.) So I think your original response was probably right on in terms of what will actually be of use to me.
Thanks again,
David

HELP! can't upgrade to snow leopard 10.6.3 to upgrade to LION (so i don't loose my mobile me account- Cause i need the iCloud) since my computer doesn't have intel processor. is there anyway to remedy this without having to purchase a new computer?

I just purchased $29.99 upgrade disk for Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and ten minutes later recieved an email from apple offering a free upgrade. I have been getting these warnings to upgrade to get to the CLOUD because my email account was going to be lost. Now my computer will not upgrade due to it not having an intel processor. This is ridiculous!! Does anyone know what I can do. This may end my relationship with Apple!!!!
I have a iMac G5.

Hello, don't worry, you CAN set up Mail in iCloud at the very least.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
This may end my relationship with Apple!!!!
Everybody is out for the bottom lines these days, careful what you get locked into, especially with Apple moving towards more locked in everything.

How do you upgrade OS X 10.4.11 tiger to a higher version of operating system such as OS x 10.5.6 as have tried running the upgrade disc on imac 5,1 with intel processor but only get message saying this cannot be installed with no further explanation ?

Retail Leopard disc looks like this;
(The disc itself has the same logo). If the one you've got is grey it simply won't work.
Given the retail and second hand prices of Leopard (usually some on Amazon MP), you'll probably find it cheaper to go directly to Snow Leopard, although there could be software updates and printer driver problems that could nullify the difference.
