64bit-intel based mac? How to detect.

I have the mac mini installed 10.5.2,with "Intel Core 2 Duo" inside.
I use comm "uname -m",return "i386",but Intel Core 2 Duo should be 64bit support.
Please tell me which comm we can use to return correct arch.

Yep, Core 2 Duos are all 64-bit CPUs.
If you really need to know, you can run this command from a Terminal window:
sysctl hw.cpu64bit_capable
It will return an answer like:
hw.cpu64bit_capable: 1
Where "1" means true, and "0" false.

Could someone suggest a procedure describing how I should migrate my iTunes files from old an older Motorola-based PowerMac to a new Intel-based Mac Pro?

My problem concerns migrating, or moving my iTunes files from a Motorola-based G4 PowerMac OS X 10.4.11 iTunes 9.2.1 (4) to a new Intel-based Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.4 iTunes 11.0.4.
Context Summary:
1. Migration assistants on my old and new macs are not compatible.
2. My older mac has my iTunes library stored on an external firewire disk.
3. Part (but not all) of my iTunes files are also resident/stored on my iPod classic.
4. Finally, I need OS X 10.4.11 on my old mac and cannot upgrade it to OS X10.5.
Proposed method A: Is there a way to transfer my playlists from my Motorola Mac to my Intel Mac? If so, could I then connect my external firewire disk (containing my iTunes library) to my new mac, and then tell iTunes (on new mac) to use my iTunes library located on my external firewire disk?
Proposed method B: Would my chances for success improve if I used my iPod classic to transfer iTunes files from old Mac to new?
Worst Case Proposal C: I could start from scratch and recreate iTunes playlists and library on new mac.... time consuming proposal but it's possible. (Please don't suggest this proposal unless no other viable choices exist for me.)
Or have I missed something? Is there another procedure I should use?
Please advise, and thank you.

Hello Chris,
Answer to your iTunes library question: By iTunes Library, I mean my iTunes Media folder only; not the entire /iTunes/folder with iTunes media folder inside.
BTW: Your pointer to ht4889 was very helpful, and sharing the folder, then copying it over firewire interface from old to new mac was most useful.
However, now with my entire iTunes folder (including iTunes media folder) moved to new mac, I remain unclear as to how I should configure iTunes on the new mac so that it can know about and use these copied files. I understand using iTunes preferences, how to point iTunes to my media folder, but don't know what other iTunes operations are necessary for iTunes to pick up where I left off with my old mac.
Is there any file conversion necessary?
Or inside iTunes, should I:
File->Library->Organize Library? or
File->Library->Export Library? or
File->Library->Import Playlist?
Please advise and thank you again for your help.
As you might imagine, I put a great deal of time building my iTunes library, and would feel very blue if I need to build it again from scratch on my new mac.
So long for now.

Error "You can't open... ...on an Intel-based Mac."

Hi.
On the System Preferences app. When I try to open Mail, Contacts & Calendars (preference pane), it gives me the following error:
"Preferences Error
You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I already re-installed OSX Mountain Lion, and it didn't fix anything.
I noticed however, that the actual preferences file: InternetAccounts.prefPane has different permissions than the rest of the .prefPane files.
- All other .prefPane files have "System" as the first user, however, my InternetAccounts.prefPane file has "Me" (myself) as the main user, and not the System user.
Question:
A. Does someone have a solution for the problem in general?
B. Can someone check their InternetAccounts.prefPane file and let me know the preferences. The file is located at: System/Library/PreferencePanes/InternetAccounts.prefPane
C. If, your InternetAccounts.prefPane file has System as the first, or any user, can someone let me know how to set System as a user? Hopefull this will fix the problem.
Thanks to anyone trying.

Ok did some research - here is another thread which seems to address your problem.

Can i install an entire Xp in my intel based mac mini?

can i install an entire Xp in my intel based mac mini?
no boot camp.
how to do that if impossible?

Hi Matthew!
Boot Camp will be the closest you'll come to your goal. A Mac is afterall intended to run Mac OS software first and foremost and Windows is only a secondary OS. But it is possible to boot into Windows after using Boot Camp to get it installed and then delete the Mac partition. You can always reinstall the Mac OS later.
Or you can still use Boot Camp to get Windows installed and just never boot back into Mac OS X (leaving it on its own partition). But why have Apple hardware just to do that? You'd be better off selling your Mac Mini and purchasing an Intel machine that will run Windows natively.
Hope this helps! bill

Playing WM formats on an Intel based Mac...also... Azureus/dimeadozen usage

Hello, I am a newbie to the Mac. I am convinced that this is the way to go; but I am having some learning problems, so I hope someone out there can help. Specifically, I cannot get all the Window Media Files to open in Quicktime. I realize that flip4mac.com has not yet configured a plug-in for Intel based Mac's but what about Popwire v. 9? Window's is up to v. 11. Is it too early to expect an update? Is Popwire up to date? Over all, how do you feeln about Popwire? On another tangent...I cannot get Azureus 2.4.0.2. (universal) to mesh with the bit torrent provided by dimeadozen.org. Any comments or suggestions will be most appreciated. Thank you...

Search the forums for the universal F4M component - I posted it here. It's a beta, but works just fine on local and web-based files. Windows is no longer supported for Apple, so WMV9/OSX is the last you'll get - v.11 is Windows, not Mac. Popwire has no browser support, so it takes a backseat to the UB F4M beta.
Configuring the AZ client isn't hard, check the ports your sites uses...
And since you are on a Mac, not a PC, post your question in the correct forum.

Issue: Cannot preview FLV on any browser on Intel Based Mac (10.5.5)

Issue:
FLV file is not displayed on the browser when previewed.
Instead, the Clear_Skin_1.swf is displayed. (Safari 3.1.2, Firefox
3.0.2)
How to reproduce:
When you insert a .FLV file on an HTML Doc.
(Insert>Media>FLV) and preview it on the browser
(File>Preview in Browser) then Clear_Skin_1.swf is displayed
instead of the FLV playing.
*note: going on live view within Dreamweaver CS4 plays the
video.
Environment:
Dreamweaver CS4
Mac OS 10.5.5
Safari 3.1.2
Firefox 3.0.2
***Actions i did so far***
1. I tried to export the site definition and import all the
files to the windows platform. (Scripts folder containing
expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js which is automatically
generated in dwcs4, the HTML document with the flv file,
Clear_Skin_1.swf, FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf)
2. Previewing the same HTML doc in windows do not produce the
same problem which is happening on Mac. The FLV plays without any
problem.
3. Recreated Preference files and Configuration files but to
no avail. (Mac)
Anybody else getting this issue? Anyone has an Intel Based
Mac who can try to reproduce the issue on their end? Can this be a
possible bug? Conflict with the OS? Browser issue? Any response
will be appreciated.
Happy Holidays.

I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Intel Mac running OSX 10.5.6
and in just the past 2 weeks deployed almost a dozen FLV movies and
they all worked perfectly on the www in all browsers, so I don't
think it's related to your Mac, OSX, or browser, and I don't
believe it's a bug of any kind since it's not recreated for all
people.
I know that's not much help, but at least you can eliminate
all of those things. Make sure you've uploaded all of the files
required for the movies, and you are using the best coding
practices for enconding FLV videos and adding to pages. Let's take
a closer look at an example of code used for FLVs:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="218"
height="159" id="FLVPlayer">
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"
/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_2&streamName=movies/CEO_vid eo&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=true"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />

<param name="expressinstall"
value="scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="218" height="159">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_2&streamName=movies/CEO_vid eo&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=true"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
<param name="expressinstall"
value="scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

</div>

</object>

</object>
Note in this example, there are many more include files
needed than just the clear skin swf. FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf,
expressInstall.swf, and also the stream name of the movie which
tells it where to find the movie. Point I'm getting at, be sure to
double check everything to make sure you have included everything,
and they are all where they are suppose to be. I think that should
solve the problem for you.

CFMX on Intel based Mac, MacBook Pro, iMac

As of yet, I still haven't been able to get this to work,
although other's have had success, and other's such as myself are
struggling with getting the JRun4 and getting it to use the correct
version of Java.
Anyway, maybe these links will help someone else, and
hopefully Macromedia/Adobe will come out with a version of CFMX
soon that will run natively on an Intel based Mac using it's own
server.
Maybe people can post below whether or not they have been
able to get this to work.

someone else get it going.

Here is the info. on MAC OS X. You will need to look for 3rd party options.
Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Palm currently has no plans to release future versions of Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager for Palm OS. Customers do have options with third-party solutions such as The Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space.
Here is the link to Mark/Space for your T5.

Virtual PC on intel based mac

Hello there, i would like to know if anyone tried virtual pc on intel based mac, i know it was designed for G4 processor. if you tried virtual pc on intel based mac thne please let know how it performed. thanks in advance

VIrtual PC will not run on an Intel processor.
If you wish to run Windows in a virtualized environment, you can use Parallels as mentioned above.
Windows will also run directly on your hardware by using Apple's Bootcamp.

Intel based Mac can't see airport exteme

My new intel based mac and airport had been working fine. Then last week it lost communication with base station. Now it will work using only Apple default setup and my Mac cannot configure base station through base station utility. It does not see the base station. I can connect to it only through the defaut Apple network, I have no control over naming, security, signal or any other options available through the setup assistant.
What gives? How do I gain control of this device again?
Intel I-Mac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Try Connecting the Intel based MAC hardwired directly to the base sation, then disconnect it and returnt he base station to the way you had it and see if the Intle Based MAC then sees the base station.
Just a guess.

Is there a way to view Windows Media Files on the Intel based Mac's?

I tried downloding WMP for Mac and also Flip4Mac but I could not install either because it said the programs don't support Intel based Mac's. I thought they would automatically run under Rosetta. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
MACBOOK PRO Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Think I ran into the same issue. I suspect MS will
have to upgrade MP to Universal Binary before it
works correctly. I'm not holding my breath....
That's good because Microsoft has discontinued all support for WMP on OS X. They recommend you download Flip4Mac instead.

Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228), go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

Virtual PC not compitable for intel-based Mac?

I saw that on the Mactopia website. I just bought a new Macbook with 1GB Ram and 80 GB Harddrive. I think that it is intel based and I am planning to purchase a copy of Virtual PC 7 but then i went to Mactopia and read: "Note: Virtual PC does not run on Intel-based Macs." on this page of Mactopia
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/virtualpc/virtualpc.aspx?pid=virtualpc
is this true? if it is then of course i won't go through the hassel of buying and returning. Please give me an answer, Thanks!

Bootcamp is a program here on the Apple site that they made to allow you to install windows on your intel mac. It adds a windows partition to your drive and helps you burn a windows driver CD that has to be installed after windows is installed. To install windows xp you must have a windows XP disk with SP2 on it. It does not take long and does not hurt your apple install. Just do a search on this site and it will take you to the page you need.

Is there any workaround at all to run PM7 on a Intel-based Mac?

Dear friends:
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and, before I did, I asked some questions to Apple about the possibility of having the software pre-installed, specifically, BootCamp and Classic, receiving the computer with a partition already made and requirements of the sort. Basically, Technical Support told me that they were not able to perform any of these tasks, although the person I have spoken to said to me that I could run PageMaker (I think he mentioned an update). After a couple of days researching, it appears that I have been misinformed. Unfortunately I have several hundreds of PageMaker files in archive, and I cannot afford to lose the ability to open them directly (I am a radical InDesign fan, I have used it since v.1.0). Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac? Maybe some software to emulate the Classic? Maybe an upgrade or a third-party application? I cannot believe that MacOS supports Windows (in fact, I have installed Windows Vista) better than its predecessor Mac OS 9.2.2.
Thanks a lot for your time,
Eduardo Guarniz

>Does anybody know any workaround at all to run PageMaker 7 on a Intel-based Mac?
Well there are two ways. the best way is to have an old machine that boots OS9. If you don't have one, buy one. I found one for about $69 a few years ago I'm sure they are even cheaper now.
There is some software called SheepShaver its supposed to run Classic apps on a Mactel. With all the problems of running PM in Classic (I would never use PM for production in Classic) Its probably even worse running on SheepShaver.
Be smart get the old machine.

External hard-drive only for Intel-based macs?

I have an iMac G5 powerpc (without the camera). Today I bought a Western Digital: My Passport- Essential 250GB external portable hard-drive. I will be using this to back-up my iMac's hard-drive. Before I opened the packaging, I decided to see if Apple.com sold this product in their online store. They do, but one of the 'one-star' reviews posted on this product stated that "it will only work with Intel-based macs." I can't seem to find any more information about whether or not this statement is correct. I was hoping somebody could help me out and let me know the answer. If it doesn't work with the powerpc imacs, do you know of a brand or model that does? I plan on leaving it in the packaging until I know for sure just in case I need to return it to the store. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

You can order them online from [macsales.com] and have them sent to your college. You can look in Staples or go online and see if they carry LaCie - the OWC ones are only sold on macsales, as far as I know.

You can't open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac.

I updated my Mac to Mavericks and after that, I can't open the Mail, Contacts and Calendar preferences.
Every time I try, I get the following message:
"You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
I tried this workaround from the Mountain Lion thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21303574#21303574) but it didn't worked.
Further I deleted all files in the Library Preferences folder, but it didn't helped also.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi Michael,
I had the same problem. And I found a fix.
I noticed that on a different system running Mavericks without any problems, the preference pane isn't called 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' anymore, it's now called 'Internet accounts'. The fact that it's still called by the old name on your system, means it somehow wasn't replaced while updating to Mavericks.
So the cure is pretty easy:
On a different Mavericks system, go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ and copy the file InternetAccounts.prefPane. Take it to the system you're trying to fix, and paste the prefPane file in the same directory. Reboot, and it should all work fine. At least it did in my case.
Cheers
Niels
