Whats the highest software an A1225 iMac can run?

I bought an older A1225 model iMac dual core intel and I was wondering if the computer can run the newest software that apple has released? If not, then what is the highest it can run?

The highest OS X that a Core Duo can run is Snow Leopard 10.6
An A1225 Core 2 Duo can run the current OS X, but you will want to max out the RAM.

    You CAN run 10.7, but I don't advise it, buy the 10.6.3 upgrade disk from the Apple Store online and then backup files off the machine and upgrade to 10.6.3., then Software Update to 10.6.8 would be the BEST option for your older hardware and it will run most all of your 10.5 software and be faster than 10.5 or 10.7.
    If you go to 10.7 it won't run nearly any of your 10.5 software and you will have to buy all new ones for a machine that's getting a little bit dated, near it's end of life stage. 10.7 will slow your machine down, especially with low RAM.

    At your machines stage, the hard drive is getting old, the vents are clogged up with dust and it's going to cost a bit to get the drive etc upgraded. You can if you wish, but 10.7 really needs more RAM (4GB) and a faster hard drive.
    But your still subjected to the video card going out etc.
    IMO upgrade to 10.6.8 and stay there until the wheels fall off, then buy a new 10.8 machine being released after this summer or 10.9 machine.

  • Whats the slowest MAC out there that can run Creative Cloud?

    I was wondering what the slowest MAC out there is that can run Creative Cloud?

    On the new install with a default Logic Project, kernal_task (activity monitor) shows 600% CPU usage when ideling (no audio or midi playing.
    Logic using 600% or total CPU at 600%?
    If it's total CPU usage and not Logic itself.. check for a runaway mdworker routine... caused by a spotlight bug thats been longstanding and never totally fixed... Resolve by stopping the MDworker routine and then exclude all drives from spotlight.. and add back in just the system drive. Wait a couple of hours for spotlight to properly reindex the system drive and then test with Logic to see if CPU usage drops down to normal levels...
    If it's Logic that is using 600% then something very weird is going on that is specific to your system or install as that simply isn't normal behaviour even with using just the internal hardware and CoreAudio.

  • What is the latest OS this iMac can run?

    What is the latest version of system software this iMac can run? My data from About This Mac includes: Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
    SMC Version: 1.20f4
    If the latest version can be used, what do I need to order to get there?

    Officially your upgrade path is the Mac Box Set - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC581Z/A
    But if you just want to update the OS, then the Snow Leopard disk will not mind that you're on Tiger. Remember to take a full backup beforehand - preferably a clone of the disk (Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or Disk Utility will do this) because I think SL will fully blank the disk so you'll need the clone to do a User Migration from after the install completes.
    The Box Set is the better deal if you want iLife and iWork updated too.

  • I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    I have two computers - iMac and PC.  What is the EARLIEST version of Acrobat I can run on each system.  I am running 10.9.2 on iMac and Windows 8 on PC.  Thanks.

    Adobe currently supports Acrobat X and Acrobat XI for Mac and Windows platforms. More details about base system requirements can be found here: Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and the changes to these requirements with the product updates can be found here : Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes. So the earliest version would be Acrobat X and the Latest would be Acrobat XI.
    Please let us know if that answers your query.

  • Why won't my iMac print consistantly to my compatible HP 6500A? I've checked for updates and downloaded the lasted software...still can't print. All my other Mac devices find the printer but the iMac is hit and miss. I'm operating the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.

    When you say hit and miss do you mean sometimes you print a whole document with no problems, or do you mean each document has problems? This is from HP's website for your printer:
    Your sig says 10.6.7 but your message says 10.7. So if it's really Lion, this printer isn't officially supported. Elsewhere on HP's site it says updated drivers will be available on your Mac via Software Update. Have you run that recently?

  • HT1349 Where can I find the antivirus software of my IMAC?

    WHERE can I find the antivirus software of my IMAC?

    There is none. It's already built-in to the OS. You do not need to install any third-party AV software.

  • Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

    Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

    You are asking two different questiions:
    1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
    2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

  • Whats the lastest software  i can put on a macbook 2.2 GHz intel core 2 Duo. the software i have on the laptop right now is the Mac OS X (10.6.7)?

    whats the lastest software  i can put on a macbook 2.2 GHz intel core 2 Duo. the software i have on the laptop right now is the Mac OS X (10.6.7)?

    It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    If it's the Late 2007 model 3,1 then 10.7 is the most that it can run.

  • What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e.  Windows) ?

    Hi guys,
    I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
    Thanks.

    Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
    Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
    Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

    You should be able to run the latest Mountain Lion - make sure to up your RAM (ML is a bit of a memory hog).

  • This iphone can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes

    This iphone can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes
    I keep getting the above error everytime I plug in my iphone.
    I am not daft, I do have the 64bit version of iTunes installed already. When I installed itunes 10.5 and more recently 10.5.1 I got an error message that rolls back a section of the installation (The updater I think) before finishing off installing iTunes.
    After the installation iTunes will work normally apart from when I try to connect a device. At which point I get the title error message and I can not sync my phone.
    It's probably down to Itunes not installing properly however no matter what I try I can not sort the problem out. I've tried uninstalling all apple programmes followed by a registry clean, then reinstall. I've tried the same again but in a specific order. I've tried repairing iTunes, repairing the updater etc etc. Nothing seems to work. I'm out of ideas.
    Has anybody had this problem? Please can somebody tell me how to fix it!
    Getting an iPad this Christmas and if I can't sync that up to my PC I may just have to go over to ANDROID!!!

    Is there a way to install this on its own?
    Yeah, let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunes64Setup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunes64Setup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunes64Setup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunes64Setup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
