What is today's value for a Mac OS X 2.5 GHz with Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB memory with 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM?
I want to buy the above machine second hand, what is the value?
There are no 2.5Ghz MacBooks. 2.4Ghz is the fastest made. Here's a list of every MacBook at Everymac.com http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
The best way to check on used prices is to keep watching eBay http://computers.shop.ebay.com/Apple-Laptops-Notebooks-/111422/i.html?Product%25 20Family=MacBook&Processor%2520Type=Core%25202%2520Duo&Memory%2520%2528RAM%2529= 512%2520MB%2520or%2520more&Hard%2520Drive%2520Capacity=60%2520GB%2520or%2520more &LH_ItemCondition=3000&Processor%2520Speed%2520%2528per%2520Core%2529=2%252E4%25 20GHz%2520or%2520more&_nkw=13.3%20apple%20macbook&rt=nc&_catref=1&_dmpt=Apple_La ptops&_npmv=3&_sc=1&_sop=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282
As to RAM, not all MacBooks use 667mhz RAM and not all can handle 4gb. Any 2.4Ghz MacBook can though.
1,1 (Early 2006) can handle 2gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
2,1 (Late 2006 & Mid 2007) can handle 3gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
3,1 (Late 2007) can handle 4gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
4,1 (Early 2008) can handle 6gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
5,1 (Late 2008, Aluminum Unibody) can handle 8gb of 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM
5,2 (Early 2009, 2.0GHzModel Only) can handle 6gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
5,2 (Mid 2009, 2.13GHzModel Only) can handle 6gb of 800mhz PC2-6400 RAM
6,1 (Late 2009, White Unibody) can handle 8gb of 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM
7,1 (Mid 2010, White Unibody) can handle 8gb of 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM

Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
Thanks...Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting. -
I have several macs with Intel core duo 2 operating systems. All are running os x 10.6.8. Is it necessary to upgrade to Lion before upgrading to Mountain Lion when it appears this summer? Do I need to have the "base" version of 10.7 first?
This is unknown, it will be up to Apple and AFAIK they haven't announced that yet.

I have a mac OS x version 10.4.11 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAm. Can I use Crucial 2 x 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAN to upgrade memory?
The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images). You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer. If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it. If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
NOTE: If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5. -
Is there a way to update a Mac OS X v10.4.11 with processor of 2GHz Intel Core 2Duo and memory of 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM into v10.9.4?Thanks
You do realise that you can add Ram, if that is all that is holding you back it's not a problem.
Tell me the exact model and age of your Mac. (The model identifier can be found by holding the option key down and clicking on the Apple Menu, select System Information (top entry) and then read the model identifier from the righthand panel (2nd entry down) -
I have an iMac OS X ver 10.7.5. Processor speed is 3.06 GHz intel core i3, and the memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz RAM. My online banking app is being updated and requires OS ver 10.8 or newer. When I ask for available updates, the system says there are none available. How can I update my system to ver 10.8 or newer to accommodate the new banking app?
You can update directly to Yosemite (for free) through the App Store (this is 10.10). Make sure your existing applications will run on this OS.
If you wish to stay at 10.8, you can order this through the online Apple Store (it's $20), and they will email you a redemption code to be used on the App Store.

I have mac book OS X 10.4.11 model No.A1181 (processor 2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo and memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM). To which newer version can I update and how?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and then, you should be able to use OS X Lion.
First, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup of your data, insert the Snow Leopard disc and upgrade to Snow Leopard.
The disc will install Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open > Software Update to install 10.6.8, the most recent Snow Leopard version.
See if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949 If you see that it's compatible, call Apple to buy OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Also, check if your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -
Mac mini Intel Core Duo and HK Soundsticks USB, Any Problem???
Hello everyone.
I am thinking of "transferring" my "old" HK Soundsticks USB for my sis's new Mac mini Intel Core Duo.
Is there any issue or problem with the mac detecting the USB speakers?? I thought I read somewhere here a while back that generally the Intel Macs might have a problem detecting the USB speakers.
Thanks and cheers.Hi NewMoses, thanks for replying but you have to be specific, if you just bought your Soundsticks, it is most likely the HK Soundsticks II, is yours?? which has a normal audio jack, unlike the 1st Soundsticks, which has a USB input.
I am sure the Soundsticks II with the audio jack would have not much problem on the new Intel Macs, since they are what I considered a "physical audio input", unlike the USB, which involves the USB technology, where more complication may come into play.
Thanks and cheers -

Everytime I view videos on firefox, it keeps on blinking. The issue is not reproducible on Safari. My MacBook runs on intel core duo 32 bit with 1gb RAM
Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you. -
JUST Bought MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.16 Intel Core Duo and NEW to MAC's.
Like the title says I just bought a MacBook Pro and I have NEVER used Mac's in my entire life. I have always been using Windows ever since I was born. But I am heading to college and wanted a change. I was wondering if there is any quick tips or things to know about my MacBook Pro before I get it in the mail? Especially because I've been a Windows person my whole life. Also, I feel like I should have bought the Mac right before I leave for college but that's the end of August and I needed to buy this before I headed to college to test it out. I just don't want to get it and then a newer MacBook comes out. I know that no one knows for sure but do you think that will happen?
Welcome. It will be easier to answer if you say something about what you're interested in and how you might want to use the computer. There are things I do with every new Mac, but they probably wouldn't interest most people. (E.g. I go into the preferences/keyboard/modifiers and turn caps lock into control. I'm an old-time Unix guy who spends a lot of time at the command line.)
Some specific advice on taking a machine to college. This advice all applies to Macs and PCs
* make sure you have a scheme for backing up your data. I recommend using a Firewire disk. There are lots of ways to do the backup. You'll see plenty of discussions in these groups. If you don't want to buy a Firewire disk you can use other media, but generally those aren't big enough or fast enough to let you do a full backup of your machine. You'll need to locate the folders where you save files and backup just those. WIth the Mac you can do bootable backups. If you lose your disk you can actually boot off the Firewire disk and run that way until you get your disk fixed. Note that this works with Firewire but not USB. Despite the advertising, you really want to use Firewire for external disks, not USB 2.
* if you haven't done so already, get Applecare. Portables are much more likely to need repair. If you don't have Applecare the repairs can be quite expensive. Apple has pretty good service.
* make sure you bring all your distribution CDs and DVDs with you. If things go very wrong you may have to reinstall, and you'll need the media with you. (Actually this advice applies more to PCs, where you have to reinstall to recover from a variety of problems. That's less common on Macs, and if you do have to there's a neat procedure -- archive and install -- to preserve your data during a reinstall.)
* make sure you have enough memory. With your machine I recommend at least 1 GB. the default of 512 MB tends to lead to a sluggish machine.
* make sure you understand the security features of OS X. Turn on the firewall. Be careful about opening attachments and browsing to questionable sites. University networks tend to see a lot more security problems than a typical home environment, though home broadband connections are pretty dangerous these days as well.
* check out your school's acceptable use policy and network access policies.
* depending upon your discipline I might recommend installing either Boot Camp or Parallels and then installing either Windows or Linux as a secondary OS. Anyone who is serious about learning computer technology should run Linux (thought not necessarily as the primary OS).
There will always be newer models. A 2.16 GHz Core Duo should be fine for several years. Not necessarily all 4 years though. That's pushing it, particularly with a portable. -

My IMac turns off unexpectedly in both Mac & Windows mode. I've repaired disc and permissions using the Snow Leopard install disk and cleared the cache without help. Any ideas how to prevent this?
The HAT test detected no problems. Perhaps one of the peripherals, e.g., the backup disk, is causing the problem. I'll try to run the MAC without peripherals for a few days and see what happens, unless you have other suggestions.
Thanks
