All future MacBook with 10.7 Lion will be set to 64bit kernel by default always ?

Dear Apple and Mac Expert,
Actually I hope Apple can answer this if possible or someone can redirect me to any Apple post ?
I learned that right from 10.7 Lion available, the default kernel mode is always set to 64bit no matter installed in MacBook White or Pro. I am wondering is it same for all future MacBook Air and Pro that come with 10.7 Lion will be set to 64bit kernel by default??
I really need a confirmation on this to support my future plan.
Appreciate Apple can answer this or someone can help.
Thanks in advanced!

Apple typically does not answer questions here. Further, your question invites speculation about future product releases, which is specifically forbidden in the Terms of Use for these forums.
That having been said, Apple usually looks forward, not back. Once they remove something it is usually gone forever. Witness the floppy drive disappearing in the late 1990s.
Best of luck.

  • Photoshop CS3 (Ver. 10.0.1) on a MacBook with OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.5) will I loose access to my Photoshop if I upgrade to Yosemite?

    I'm running Photoshop CS3 (Ver. 10.0.1) on a MacBook with OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.5) will I loose access to my Photoshop if I upgrade to Yosemite?

    There's just a flurry of complaints about CS3 crashing under Yosemite. The upgrade is known to damage CS5 installs. Adobe only certifies CS6, CC, and CC 2014 as being tested for Yosemite.
    I would not advise it. You would more than likely have to reinstall CS3 and its' updates, as well as your printer drivers and no guarantee it will be the same.
    If your work depends on CS3 functioning, hold off for now, or until you upgrade Photoshop.
    You are taking chances you probably don't need to.  If it works, don't fix it.

  • After restoring backup new macbook with time machine Firefox will not start. says missing profile

    after restoring backup on new macbook with time machine Firefox will n to start. It says it is missing profile although profile exists and profile manager will not start. Also reinstalling does not help. Direct after starting Firefox it says profile is missing and then quits Firefox. Please help edit

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I recently (4 days ago) bought a Mac mini server with 10.7 lion; will I qualify for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion Server?

    How has Apple honoured buyers of other releases of OS X immediately before a new version was announced?

    I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail.  However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook.  Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

    If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock your iPad then there are instructions on this page for how to reset the iPad (your iPad doesn't need to be connected to the internet) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If your computer's iTunes isnt recognising the iPad when you connect it then have you got a recent version of iTunes installed on your computer ? There are also troubleshooting pages for a device not showing in iTunes on these pages :

  • When I receive calls I always get the option to remind me later, but only certain times I get the option to respond with text.  Is there a setting I need to update to always get this option?

    When I receive calls I always get the option to remind me later, but only certain times I get the option to respond with text.  Is there a setting I need to update to always get this option?  Also i can't use location reminders.  Is this because my calendar is in Outlook?

    The only known way to make it work on an external drive is by first installing Windows onto an internal drive, then cloning the install to an external Thunderbolt drive. Thunderbolt is seen as an extension of the internal bus, so Windows doesn't see it as an external device.

  • Since a recent update? am having to constantly click "Allow access...." Shouldn't once you click on an email sourse it will accept all future emails with full g

    Perhaps since a recent update, I have had to go to "Options" and then click "Allow access......" to receive graphics with appropriate emails. Once you have done this shouldn't the program receive all future emails from each source without having to repeat this step every time? I find this situation time consuming and frustrating. My computer skills are at a basic level.

  • A new Mac shipping with OS X Lion will not accept OS X Snow Leopard

    Hi Fans,
    I''m back again to report on my 2.5hr campaign to get Snow Leopard back.
    I have of course no DVD drive on the Macbook Air.
    So, I created a restore disk from my Mini, to an external drive.
    Loooks good...
    Boot Air, kernel panic. The Snow Leopard DVD is too old.
    Error is:
    You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X.
    You have Install Mac OS X.app 23.1.
    So, I will call apple apparently tomorrow and ask if there is a possibility for a later version DVD or a USB I can get.
    I might add that if you have problems, apple prefer that you email them here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Other than that, a little rant here could help...
    The experience I've had is pratically software entrapment, Apple just about closed the doors on software choice.

    Thanks, yes I see the point, I will eventually get some 'feedback' and hope that I can survive the shortcomings...
    I wonder if anyone knows if it is possible at all? To run Snow Leopard on the New Macbook Airs, i7 etc.
    If it is... I will call and wait to talk to an Apple Expert...

I am happy to look into this printing issue for you!  Some questions for you:  What happens when you try print multiple copies? Copying Documents.Do you see any error messages on the front panel of the printer when it stops printing? Does the paper get stuck inside the printer? What happens if you print from NotePad? 
    In the meantime, please try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens!  Hope to hear from you soon!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • MacBook Pro mid 2010, Lion 10.7.2, still getting kernel panics

    Hi there,
    Just updated my MBP to Lion 10.7.2, with the big hope that this bug (the kernel panic - black screen that happens sometimes when switching from the Intel to the NVidia graphics card) was finally put to rest. It took me a little bit more time to get one, but I can still get one. And actually, very easy.
    I have checked all the info I can find on the internet, deleted the windowserver.plist file (from my user and the system folders), and nothing seems to solve it. I don't know if it could be something hardware related: I did not have a single problem before upgrading to Lion, so I think it is not something hw related.
    The test case I have is quite simple:
    - Make sure you have the setting in the energy prefpanel to allow the machine to switch between the graphic cards.
    - Restart the machine so there is nothing opened when it starts.
    - Make sure the Intel graphic card is running (I check this with iStat Menus 3 - and yes, I have everything up-to-date)
    - Open Photo Booth.
    - Starting PB, without no filter applied, you should still be using the Intel card.
    - Go into the filters section. The first page shouldn't make it load the NVidia card.
    - Move to the second panel. When doing this I always get the kernel panic.

    So, any ideas, recomendations? I'm thinking seriously in taking the MBP to the Apple Store and see what they say, but unless it's a known HW problem, I'm almost sure it's going to take days for they to say something. I have never taken any of my macs to the Apple Store, so it might not be like that, but I don't know.
    Thanks for your help.

    Well, it looks like that solves the issues for the people who have had it's logic board replaced. Here they didn't even suggested that as an option, and when I mentioned that I had read in this forums that, they just said that they had their hands strapped, as Apple already knows about the issue and is asking us to expect a software update.
    So yes, I guess you're lucky, let's hope that solves the issue for you.
    It's not that I would like to have my logic board replaced just for the fun of it, but I fear the problem is indeed something HW related and the software/firmware fix will just try to workaround the real problem.
    Let's just hope Apple doesn't take another 30 or 40 days to get some kind of solution for this. I can't really use the laptop for what I bought it for (PS, Lightroom, taking notes at classes, and so on), and it's been months like that.
