8 Go ram needs 64 bits with SL 10.6.7 ?

I have a 13' MBP Mid 2009 and i upgrade it with 8 Go Ram.
Must i boot with the 64 bits mode to have full advantage of the 8 Go ?

OK...but, if there is no advantage (speed, or performance) for 64 bits mode, why Apple gives that option ? For what use ?
I believe 32 bits mode can't adress more than 4 Go. Normally, MacOS 64 bits must run fastly with 8 Go ? Probably i miss something...
Several reasons.
The 32-bit kernel man manage up to around 32GB of physical RAM, then it needs more address space for all the tables it needs to keep track of things.
At the current rate memory is doubling, high end Mac Pros will soon be unable to boot a 32-bit kernel, and in a few years laptops will start to have the option for huge amounts of memory.
While the 32-bit and 64-bit Mac OS X kernels can run BOTH 32-bit and 64-bit applications concurrently, the device drivers MUST be built to work with the bit size of the running kernel. Snow Leopard gives 3rd party developers a chance to develope and debug their drivers and get customers to field them long before Apple goes 100% 64-bit kernel.
Go look at Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor -> Kind to see the mix of applications currently being run on your Mac.

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 iTunesSetup.exe (or 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 iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or 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 AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to 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.)

Need help on rams to be compatible with my Spec

Hi I need to replaced my rams. Appreciate some advice here. Currently I am using DDR PC3200/400Mhz rams. As it's no longer economical/ value-for-money for me to get PC3200/400Mhz rams, below are the alternatives I am looking into since their prices are more cost effective than 400Mhz rams. According to my Spec, Intel 2.8Ghz Pentium 4, MSI motherboard 865PE Neo 2 PLS, 478 socket. Will I be able to use PC4200 533Mhz, PC5300 667 DDR2 rams?
Kingston DDR2 533Mhz 1GB
Kingston/Corsair DDR2 533 Mhz PC4200 1GB
Patriot DDR2 PC4200 533Mhz 1GB
kingston DDR2 PC5300/667Mhz 1GB
Compatibility and stability is more impt to me. I do not intend to overclocking. Appreciate anyone if you could help advice me on the timing as well for these suggested Rams w/o overclocking.
Thanks a lot.
Intel Pentium Prescott 4 CPU 2.8Mhz
MSI 865PE Neo2 PLS
1.5GB Ram (2x512MB, 2 X 256MB), 3-3-3-8 clocks at 2.6V

You can't use DDR2 ram with that board. You need DDR1 PC3200 ram. Best thing to do is sell the ram you currently have and get a new dual channel kit as your slots are already full and further mixing will lead to problems.
Hi thanks for replying.
I don't intend to mix the existing rams that I have with a new replace rams. I will just install 2 x 1GB rams. So I need to know if my motherboard will be able to use 1 GB DDR2 533mhz or DDR2 667Mhz rams before I go and buy.
Really can't use DDR2 rams?

As long as it meets the minimum technical specifications, although the more above the minimum you have, the better the experience.

I cannot access the "pay bill" part of the City of Fort Worth Water Department. It tells me that I need 128 bits and won't let me in until I download something with that. Please help me.

The City of Fort Worth water department website for paying bills refuses to give me access, with the message that I must have a browser that supports 128 bits with encryption. I don't know what to do. PLease help me. thank you.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

No.
Service Pack 3 just updates your OS. All of your files, folders and programs will still be there.
You will start running into more problems like this the longer you stick with XP though. That particular OS is over 11 years old, service pack 3 hs been out for over 4 years.
It may be time for a system upgrade. I personally went from XP to Windows 7 and I haven't looked back one bit.

How to install windows 8.1 64 bit with a DVD

has anyone found a workaround to install windows 8.1 64 bit with a retail DVD?

Gotcha!!
I am done with mounting a secondary HDD (thanks to ifixit) and installing Windows 8 Pro 64 bit on it without a worry. Charm, charm!!
Boot Camp 5 guide prescribes all needed steps and when read and used correctly, installation must be an easy task. And all the existing apple hardwares work so good in the Windows environment too.
I am going to help out a friend of mine in doing a similar thing on his mac too. If you got specific questions, please do shoot up here and i should be able to get a reply to it (if at all).
Thanks everyone.

I need some help with AVI and IDX files please.

Hello there,
I've just been given a hard drive with a load of media on it that I need to work with in FCP.
There's a folder with many .AVI clips, and each clip has an accompanying directory file with the extension .IDX
The format of the AVI files is DV, 720x576, 48kHz.
For the life of me, I can't get FCP to accept the media. Log and Transfer won't accept them, and if i bring in the AVI files in on their own using File>Import>Files... I get a message saying:
Media Performance Warning
It is highly recommended that you either recapture the media or use the Media manager to create new copies of the files to improve their performance for multi-stream playback.
I can click 'OK' for this message and the media will appear in the browser, but If I place one of these AVI files on a new conformed sequence, the audio needs rendering. (Sequence settings correspond to media settings)
I tried just changing the wrapper from AVI to MOV, thinking I could fool FCP into accepting them, but I get the same rejection.
I thought the audio and video signals might be muxed, so I tried MPEG Streamclip to sort that out, but even MPEG Streamclip doesn't accept the media, saying : File open error: Can't find video or audio tracks.
Could anybody advise me on how to get the most out of these media files please?
Thanks in advance.
James.

yes. I tried transcoding in QT, but they still come in with the same audio rendering required. I'm a bit loath to convert them all though, as there are 1400 clips.
It's not a huge problem, as they do play in FCP, but I'd like to sort out the audio rendering. I don't understand why it needs rendering as the media and sequence audio settings match, and it's not some weird format or anything, it's bog standard 48kHz stereo.

Windows 7 64-bit with Boot Camp 5: keyboard & mouse don't work

Running OS-X 10.8.5 on iMac 27 Late 2013. Everything goes smoothly installing Windows 7 64-bit with Boot Camp 5.0.4 until Windows does its final reboot (after a complete, apparently successful install), and begins the Windows setup sequence. The first setup screen asks for User name and PC name. My mouse and keyboard do not work at this point. Tried cold rebooting: Windows boots up, detects it needs to do first use setup, and gets to same failure point.
NOTE: I have never had a chance to install the Windows support drivers; but the mouse and keyboard worked through out the istallation.
I've tried two different W7 versions: 64-bit Pro and 64-bit Enterprise [Enterprise is not supported, but I have installed it on an iMac 27 2010, and a MacBook Air 2013.]. Both versions of W7 hang at the same point described above.
I've tried a Windows DVD install disk plus Windows support drivers on a flash drive; and I've tried a bootable flash drive with everything on it. Both fail at the same point.
I have tried both wireless and USB keyboards and mouse. Same failure.
I have even tried removing the flash drive with Windows support drivers before the final reboot. Same failure.
NOTE: when I reboot in OS-X and go to the Startup Disk, the windows option says "Untitled Windows" instead of Boot Camp; but I can select it, and it starts the Windows boot which ends up at the same Windows setup failure point.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Has anyone succeeded? If so, any special actions or ideas?

The issue may be related to the iMac 2013 only having USB 3.0 ports and that windows 7 does not come with drivers for it. Try the following (borrowed from answer on Mac Rumors Forums http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1659481):
<quote>
If you run into issues with keyboard and mouse not working (due to USB 3.0 and Win 7 incompatibility), you need to run your Win 7 partition (and Win 7 installation disk/partition) in legacy mode. (I found this information at:http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support#faq123 - see "Method using Terminal"). Here you will be setting the legacy on the installation volume of win 7, not bootcamp partition (yet). After running the diskutil list find the volume with installer of Win 7, and then run the command (substituting the disk1s2 below with the information you find through diskutil on your computer:
sudo /usr/sbin/bless --device /dev/disk1s2 --setBoot --nextonly --legacy
Enter administrative password when prompted. Next, select Restart from the Apple menu. Do not hold the Option key while restarting.
You should have mouse/keyboard working. Begin the Windows 7 installation. Upon first restart right after the installer completes, boot into Mac and set the legacy mode for the BootCamp partition (but this time without the --nextonly flag), so you can use keyboard/mouse to complete the installation and thereafter until the USB 3.0 drivers are installed).

You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
From Readers Digest-February, 2005
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck.

USB Hotsync needs 32-bit hardware or software? or both?

I made the mistake of buying a new computer without knowing I needed 32-bit to do a USB Hotsync. My new computer is 64-bit hardware. However, I got a 3-year service package from HP and they've offered to send me a 32-bit Windows XP OS installation disk if I want it. They said it will work, you can install a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit computer.
Their question is, and my question for you is, do I need a 32-bit HARDWARE to do the USB sync, or will the 32-bit OPERATING SYSTEM (software) on a 64-bit computer do the trick? Does anyone know? Palm wouldn't tell me ("unsupported device"), and I can't find it anywhere.
I want to avoid doing the bluetooth thing if possible, since reading that people have problems syncing docs-to-go with bluetooth and I don't want to have to buy a bluetooth device and have to try to figure out which one will work with my particular set up. I'm pretty addicted to docs-to-go.
BTW I have a Zire 72 that I can't live without (poor memory/organizational skills) and my new computer is an HP EliteBook 8440p currently running 64-bit Windows 7.
I'd rather avoid installing a new OS (and reinstalling everything else) if it's not going to help.
Thanks to anyone who has an idea, suggestion, or experience to share.
Post relates to: Zire 72

You nailed it, thanks. It turns out that my son had been tinkering with the speech function...and the sound was turned down so I wasn't hearing anything when S was pressed. Thanks much.

How much RAM needed for the DB box

Hi,
Can someone share with me the technical way to do calculation of how much of RAM needed for a new Linux box with estimation of 500 users. I hope this calculation can also allow me to breakdown how much MEMORY needed for each session.
Please recommend any site that I can refer to if any. TQ.

My project start with Oracle 9i R2 (9206) on Linux (not yet confirm on the platform and etc). Just assume I will use Linux Red Hat Adv Sever latest version.
Hence how many GB of memory for the box is sufficient to handle 500 connections. Pls guide me the formula to derive the calculation. TQ
