Rumor confirmed:  CS4 will remain 32-bit for Mac, but will be 64-bit in Windows

Photoshop, Lightroom, and Adobe's 64-bit roadmap
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/
CS4 will remain 32-bit for Mac, but will be 64-bit in Windows.

i For the most part, it seems like most of us in prepress/photography/creative are fine with our Macs with 4 to 8 or 16 gb of memory installed. A 64 bit app isn't going to change MY life or how I work.
Well it may do, considering the roof is well below the ram capacity and the OS has to do the hard work.
"In our testing, when an app isn't using a large data set (one that would otherwise require memory swapping), the speedup due to running in 64-bit mode is around 8-12%."
Look to when that actually starts happening...its not where your ram roof is.
Probably a cross grade here...we've been running 64 bit with 3d for a while now, and shifting that roof has allowed much more heavy scene data to be created easily.
Read the article, it's not just PS that's affected...there may be limited scope for the need in AI, but AE would see the light.
Put it this way, we can see the advantages...and obviously adobe can...they just havent been capable of applying that to the apple yet.

  • App store will not accept password for updates but will for purchases.

    Please advise.

    Thanks... I did try that.  To add to the mess, I just saw some update on my Macbook Air App Store and it did the same as on my iphone.  I would not accept my new password. 
    I then saw that my iphone had some updates.  I requested to update all.  It asked for my password and I entered it.  It downloaded some of the update but not others and also gave me the message that I put in the wrong password.
    Still confused.  Thanks for your help.

  • FaceTime will not ring on my Mac, but will on every other device

    For some reason about a week ago, my Mac stopped ringing for FaceTime.  FaceTime will ring on every other apple device in the house, but not my Mac.  I've tried every setting change that seems logical, and nothing works.  I see from the forums that lots of other people have this same problem.  Can someone help?  Thanks.

    It isn't that I can't hear it.  It just won't register that a FT call is coming in.
    However, one thing I did do and NOW everything seems to be ok, is a)  log off iMessage and FaceTime from all your OS X and iOS devices, and then b) re-log in to them.  It resets something on the server end. 
    (A friend who had iMessage/Messages syncing issues was told to do this and it helped him.)
    This seems to have solved my issue.

    Exactly which password are you inputting? iCloud looks for your AppleID password.

    Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
    At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions.  I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

  • Will a program mention for MAC OSX be allowed to download on the newest iPad version. If so, how do I get past the "safari" can not download this file?

    No, because iPads do not run Mac OS X. They run iOS.

  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

    thanks

    No, the iWork apps are only available for the Mac. There are separate versions for iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) that are purchased from the iTunes Store. If you have an iCloud.com account there is iWork for iCloud that runs in a web browser, including web browsers on a PC. It is currently in beta & may not be available to all iCloud users yet.

  • Shall I buy Office 365 for my Mac? or wait for Office 2014 for Mac? Will it make a difference to SkyDrive - please help!

    Hello, 
    I work for a small business and we want to have a space where we can save and share documents with each other and with our clients. The questions I am asking may be simple but I can't seem to find the answers anywhere and just need simple answers back please. 
    Firstly - Do I buy Office 365 for my Mac or do I wait for ' Office 2014 for Mac'? If so how long do you think it we be until it is released? 
    - If I buy Office 365 - does it have skydive? Can I create a document on my computer, save it on skydive and invite a colleageue to view it, she then alters it and saves it? Will this new document then be saved on my skydive folder on my Mac? 
    If I wait for Office 2014 - do we know if this we have a better/ different sky drive function? 
    Please help! 

    According to your requirment, Office 365 for small business or higher plan suits you. We don't need to wait for ' Office 2014 for Mac' but join family of Office 365 for now.

  • My ipod is showing a red circle with a red "X" in it. Itunes tells me it will prepare my ipod for recovery but does nothing, why?

    I have a ipod classic, 160gb.
    My ipod is showing a red circle with a red "X" in it. Itunes tells me it will prepare my ipod for recovery but does nothing, why?
    My computer is a Inspiron 530S using Windows Vista, duo core.

    All you can do is try restoring the device. If you are unable to you'll most likely have to get the iPod repaired.
