10.6.4: Am I always in 64 bit mode?

Having just updated to 10.6.4 from 10.5, I'm trying to notice what 64 bit does for me. I use photoshop CS5 a lot. It's fast, but not always noticeably faster than 10.5. Someone told me that I need to do a clean install to get 64 bit performance. I was shocked to hear that.
Is that true, or is just upgrading to 10.6 and doing a software update the trick?

Dig around in here, for starters:

It can, and you can address 48GB physical RAM.

Document always opens in Preview mode, prefer Normal mode

Documents always open in Preview mode, while I'd prefer the Normal mode. I tried setting the mode to Normal and saving the document, but next time I open it it again opens up in Preview mode. Can I change this somewhere so it defaults to Normal mode?
Thanks for your help or suggestions.

The preview that was used when the file was saved is saved with the
file. If you save it in preview mode, it will open that way.
If that's not the case, you may have a slight corruption in your
preferences. Try trashing them if this bothers you.

(I tryed PS and AI just now. the application manager installed 64bits PS and AI. Why it can't find a 64bit acrobat for me?!)

Acrobat runs as a 64-bit application on Mac. Acrobat on Windows is a 32-bit application that can run and has been tested on 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 7 and 8, and Windows Server 2008 and 2012.

How do I get Elements 11 to always open in Expert mode?

Does anyone know how I can make Elements 11 always open in Expert mode?
I'd like Elements 11 to do this whenever I either double-click a photo file to start the program or click the Elements 11 icon to start.
Thanks for your help and time.
Jerry

Barbara B.,
I have more information that will help explain my problem:
When I double-click on a supported photo file (.jpg for example) in Windows Explorer, Elements 11 opens in the Expert Window (the mode is always use) but the photo does not appear.
I double-click the photo file again in Explorer and Elements 11 changes to the Quick window and the photo opens.
In previous Elements versions I could double-click a photo file and Elements would open and the photo would appear in the open Elements window. With Elements 11 the photo never appears until I double-click the file again. And when the photo opens it does so in the Quick screen.
How can I make Elements 11 open after double-clicking a file with the selected photo visible and be in Expert mode?
Thanks for your help and time.

The app is always inverted in landscape mode on Fire OS

Hello. I've recently submitted several apps made in AIR on the Amazon Store, but they were rejected because of the following problem : "App is always inverted in landscape mode". This problem appears only on the Amazon devices which use Fire OS. What can I do about this. Does anyone have a solution? Or is it something that should by Adobe and should appear in an update of AIR?

it is quite a shame....how come they did not think about that ? that's silly

HT4111 while using my aftermarket (Brookstone) IPAD 2 key board the circular search icon never stops moving (setting tab, "Bluetooth" connect)...is that because the Bluetooth is always in the "search" mode while the keypad is in use?

This is the same experience I see with both my iPad and iPhone. Doesn't seem to cause battery drain, so I just don't worry about it. My bluetooth devices work and if yours do as well, just don't worry about it.

Iphone 4S cannot power on and always be in recover mode when connecting itunes

Hi,
My iphone 4S recently doesn't work. It always shows apple logs and cannot power on. Even though I hard reset it, it still cannot power on. It is strange that when I connect it with iTunes, iTunes always says iPhone is in restore mode.then iPhone starts restoring. First time iTunes downloaded a file for restoring with 800M. Then iTunes start restoring. After about ten minutes, iPhone is restored. But when I use a app after several hours, it restarts immediately and then always shows apple logs.
How can restore it completely and it won't return into restoring mode?
I have created a new profile for the restoring, it still doesn't work.

How to get Bridge-hosted ACR to always open 32-bit PS?

I am using CS4 on the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Does anyone know how I can force ACR to use the 32-bit version of PS instead of the 64-bit version when using the "Open in Camera Raw" method from Bridge?
I have made file association and registry changes so that everything else (double-click a CR2 file in Bridge, using Open, etc.) uses 32-bit PS. When I use the ACR hosted by Bridge via the "Open in Camera Raw", however, and then do an "Open Image", ACR will always use the 64-bit version of PS unless the 32-bit version of PS is already open.
I am trying to form a new habit of using the PS-hosted version of ACR with the "Open" command but it is a hard habit to break. It also takes a little longer the first time I use ACR. I´d love to use 64-bit all the time but I have third-party filters that work only on the 32-bit version.
Any ideas?

Plain advice: open Bridge, open 32-bit PS,
and when we then open a file in/from Bridge it goes (via ACR) into 32-bit PS.

ChooseFromListUID is always -1 in find mode

Hi,
Can I create ChooseFromList in a system form that is opened in FIND mode? I want to know if there is a way to do it because every time I create ChooseFromList in FIND mode the ChooseFromListUID always has value -1, instead of UID that I gave.
Thank you.

Hi Slamet
By definition the choose from list will not work in find mode. SAP's reason is that if you have something in find mode you are on a system for or and UDO and they will provide you with the automatic Choose from lists.

After upgrading to v4 Firefox always start in Safe Mode. How to avoid this?

When I start Firefox, this Safe Mode windows always shows:

There is no option for Normal mode and I can't use Firefox 4 normally.
Any ideas?

VFW clips always render in Desktop Mode

Hi,
Sometimes I use the following workflow: import the files compressed with VFW (Video for Windows) codec into Premiere, then preview and export them using the same VFW codec. During this procedure Premiere should not recompress the clips to which the effects are not applied. This works fine for me in Premiere 1.5, but in Premiere 2.0 and 3.0 these clips are always recompressed.
I tried several VFW codecs (Huffyuv, Morgan M-JPEG, Cinepak, Indeo) and the same happens for all of them. The only case, when it works for me as it should in a Desktop mode, are Uncompressed 8-bit/10-bit File Format use cases.
What I actually do:
Make a custom preset with Editing mode set to Desktop and the compressor set to some VFW codec.
Import the material which is compressed with this VFW codec (all the video parameters match the project settings).
When the clip is placed on the timeline the red line appears above the clip (this seems to be not correct). After performing a preview the clip gets rendered and the line above it changes to green.
To ensure that the clip settings match the project settings I get the rendered preview file from the Adobe Premiere Preview Files folder and place it on the timeline. The red line above the already rendered clip appears again and the clip is rendered once more time (the problem persists).
So, I would like to ask is it possible to use the VFW codec in a Desktop mode without a full recompression during preview/export, or may be its a problem of my own single configuration?

Thank you, Jim. Your suggestion is based on the idea, that there is no need to recompress the original source files during the project workflow before the final project deployment, right? I just want to remind, that I think, this discussion does not lead to resolve the point of my original question, but here are my comments:
> Either stabilize your clips in VirtualDub during their first pass (when you make then DV clips),
I need to stabilize just the selective parts of the material which actually will be used in the project (not the whole source since it is unneeded, lossy and time consuming procedure), and sometimes different presets are used for different parts. Which these parts are, I will know only after editing with Premiere. In Vdub during material preparation I only tune fields, luma/levels, etc. issues without thoroughly watching the source material.
> use After Effects to stabilize them (which will probably do a better job anyway).
I like and often use the Track motion in AE, but not the Stabilize motion function, the Vdubs one suit me better.
> use Dynamic Link, so no rendering needs to be done.
I think its a cool feature, obviously, by using the DL you have the ability to quickly change some parameters in both Premiere and AE at any time and this is the plus. I was not able to test it (my version is not Production Premium), but any such a feature has its drawbacks. Just a one of them from the Premiere help files:
> After Effects renders the linked composition on a frame by frame basis during playback in the target application If youre working with complex source compositions and experiencing playback delays, you can take the composition offline or disable a linked clip to temporarily stop referencing a dynamically linked composition, or render the composition and replace the dynamically linked composition with the rendered file.
Many of the work I do in AE are time consuming operations. When I work with a huge number of effects, layers and nested compositions in AE I like to pre-render compositions to optimize the work inside AE and when I finish the composition in AE for me is better to render it. When AE compositions are complex (actually they are) and may render several hours, my computer and me may not survive with this.
There are other cross-application workflows available between AE and Premiere, like a copy/paste and project import, but they have limitations about which I do not want to care of mostly, while editing. Nevertheless, I use these workflows in simple cases (mainly when getting the materials from Premiere to AE).
I agree, that it is possible to avoid several generations by using current cross-application workflow. But with this workflow I will:
1) Loose a lot of time on time consuming operations.
2) Need to take care about limitations of Premiere/AE interaction.
3) Be limited to use the Premiere & AE without my preferable types of external processing, which do not support the DL (including, but not limited to, a Vdub stabilization function).
To summarize, I prefer using Premiere for real-time editing without this workflow.
By the way (just back to my original question): could you, please, make the following few steps in your Premiere CS3, this may help:
1) In Premiere, create a new preset based on one of the DV presets. On the Custom settings set General -> Editing Mode to Desktop, on Video Rendering set the file format to Video for Windows and the Compressor to Uncompressed UYVY 422 8bit.
2) Import some small DV clip and place it on the timeline. You should see a
i red line
above it.
3) Now, Render work area. The line above the clip changes to
i green.
4) Now, in the filesystem, locate the generated preview file Adobe Premiere Pro Preview files/project_name.PRV/Rendered -, make a copy of it and place this copy on the timeline. You will see a
i red line
above it.
5) Now, go to Project/Project Settings/VideoRendering and change the File format from Video for Windows to Uncompressed 8-bit(4:2:2 YUV) and confirm. Now you should not see
i any line
above the file copied from the Preview folder.
Does the line behavior changes exactly the same way in your application?
Thank's for your help.

Lion always starts in recovery mode

I installed Lion a couple of weeks ago, and it's worked pretty much fine, with one major problem. Whenever I start the machine, it has now begun to boot up in recovery mode, as though I were holding down command-R. I then re-start, and it starts normally, although after a longer-than-normal pause at the pre-Apple-logo white-screen part of the process.
This is obviously annoying, but I can still get my work done.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I'm running a Mac Pro 2X2.66 GHz Dual-Dore Xeon machine with 3 GB RAM. Lion is running on a 400GB internal drive.
Thank you.

pedro3178,
Thank you for the suggestion. I would never have thought having more than 1 bluetooth device trying to connect would interfere with the system booting up. You have saved me a lot of frustration. I will definitely have to change my start up routine but it will be worth to save me from always having to restart.
Dave_4321,
Thanks as well for your comments. I was afraid this was only an issue with my machine. It sounds like this bug may be common to iMac's at least starting with the mid-2010 machines.
My machine is an i5 mid-2010 27 inch model. I have had the wireless mouse, keyboard, and trackpad since I got the computer and have pretty much had the issue from the start. This makes sense based on pedro3178's comments.
Again, my thanks to both of you for your comments.
