CS5 - 32bit to 64bit

I currently have CS5 (32bit) installed on my PC. I am about to buy a new 64 bit PC. Can I install a 64 bit version after deactivating my current software and if so, how?
Thanks

More info on the differences between 32 bit and 64 bit here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/64-bit-os-benefits-limitations.htm l
64 bit is invariably the one to use at the very least for the advantage in its use of RAM.
32 bit is limited to using <4GB RAM at all times - regardless of how much RAM is available on your system. 64 bit can use all the RAM you have available on your system.
The main reason that 32 bit Photoshop is still offered by Adobe is compatibility with 32 bit only plugins (which will probably not be updated to 64 bit). TWAIN is the classic example usually cited.
Thanks John, I'll check out the link you included. To clarify: When I go to install my Adobe products on the new 64 bit machine, do I need to request something from Adobe in order to reinstall? I never received install discs, it was just a download. That's the part I'm not clear about. Since both versions, reportedly, come with the purchase, I presume I'm entitled to recover the download somehow. I do understand from Mylenium that once started, the download will offer to install both versions if you are on a 64 bit system and he seems to be suggesting that one should do that.
Thanks,
jb

Installing PS CS5.1 32bit and 64bit

I accepted the defaults while installing photoshop and it seems 2 versions installed? Do I need both the 32bit and 64bit versions on Windows 7 64bit ? Also, when I look at installed programs it only indicates Photoshop CS5 without any 32bit or 64bit designation. What is necessary here. Are there bugs with the 64bit version like MS Office so the 32 bit version installs also?
thanks
Milton

Both 32 and 64 bit variants are provided in case you have plug-ins or drivers that only work with one. For example, older plug-ins are generally 32 bit only, and there are no 64 bit TWAIN drivers.
64 bit Photoshop will allow you access to your entire memory space, in excess of 2 GB, while 32 bit Photoshop will be limited.
Advice: Keep 'em both, use 64 bit primarily, and use the 32 bit version if/when you have to.

Can't edit LR3 image in CS5 32bit

Hi, I recently got a new PC and now can't open images in CS5 32bit from LR3. I used to launch CS% then right mouse click image and "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5" but now CS5 launches but no image appears and i get an error message saying The Lightroom catalog named.... cannot be opeened because another appliation already has it opened Quit the other copy of LR before trying to launch" - but there nothing else open.
Another message I get is:
If I don't open CS5 32 bit first and just ight mouse click image and "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5" the image opens normally in 64bit CS5 but I can't apply my Nik filters from the 64 bit version. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling LR3 and CS5 without fixing the problem.

32bit to 64bit question.

Hello. This might be obvious or already answered somewhere, but I have not seen where.
I recently got a new laptop and it has Windows 7 64bit on it. When I bout CS5 I was using a 32bit system. I was wondering if I was going to run into any problems having CS5 32bit on a 64bit system. I know that the program won't be able to take advantage of the ram in my system, but will there be any other problems? Is there a way to upgrade to 64bit CS5 for free or cheap?
Thank you.

There's no such thing as a 32 or 64 bit Creative Suite as a whole. Some applications in the
CS are 32bit and some 64 bit ..... and Photoshop comes with 32bit and 64bit versions which both get installed automatically by default (unless you change your installation preferences) if you are installing on a 64-bit machine. You will have to look at the system requirements for CS5 on your DVD box to see which programs are 64-bit and which are not. Are you using Windows or Mac? Which version of Windows or Mac Operating System (Vista, 7, OS X Snow Leopard, OS X Lion, etc)? What are your computer specs (RAM, processor type, Hard disk space)? Which version of CS5 did you get (Web Premium, Design Premium, Master Collection, etc)?

Does iTunes come with 32bit and 64bit install?

I have Windows 7 and it's a 32bit and 64bit Gaming Laptop G73SW.
I've done all the troubleshoot tips, which has just made my computer worse.eg all icons changed, things now missing, so probably have to do a System Retore to get it all back.
Every time i speak to Apple, they're suggestions just make my computer stuffed, iTunes takes over all my programs etc.
Simply put: Does iTunes come with a 32bit and 64bit Install??? If not i won't be using that program.
Which makes it hard for my line of work atm as an Alpha and Beta Games Tester for many Private Platforms i play on.

Well genius, it's either a 32bit or 64bit system, it cannot be both.
Please learn to clearly describe the situation or it is unlikely that appropriate and relevant assistance will be provided.

Install jre 32bit on 64bit system with error

Hello,
i try to install "jre-7u51-windows-i586.exe" (32bit) via CA IT Client Manager (Version 12.5) on serveral machines (64bit), OS MS Vista.
Error: .... cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
manually installation works without errors.
i need jre 32bit on 64bit!
thx in advance for your friendly suggestions!

Hello gimbal2,
i agreed with my CA-Support to ask for help here, after many trys to fix the issue.
we thought it would be a nice idea to ask oracle community - perhabs somebody know how to fix this prob.
The error was reportet by "Wow64 Emulation Layer"
this behavior we face since jre-7u45.
if that diskussion rings a bell, i would be happy to get rid of my installation prob.
thx for your sympathie

Distribution kit calling 32Bit or 64Bit executable

Hello,
my CVI app distribution calls an executable that installs a hardware driver. Unfortunately, that executable (DPInst.exe) has separate versions for 32bit and 64bit OSs.
Question:
can the distribution kit (CVI 2009) be configured to call e.g.
"DPInst32.exe" when my app gets installed on a32bBit system, and
"DPInst64.exe" on a 64bit system?
or
What would be an other solution for that kind of problem?
Thanks,
Greg

Hello Eren,
thanks for you feedback. I don't want to distribute and maintain different versions for 32bit and 64 bit OS of my CVI application, just because a small USB driver of an accessory has two versions. In the meantime, I came up with a different idea.
The distribution calls an executable that
a) checks wether it runs on a 32bit or 64bit OS
b) then calls the correct DPInst.exe version
This is quite easy:
I'm using this example code to check the OS version.
with that I call this code at the end of the installation:
void main()
char path[512];
int status;
status = GetDir (path);
   if(IsWow64()) strcat(path,"\\64bit\\");
   else strcat(path,"\\32bit\\");
status = SetDir(path);
LaunchExecutable ("DPInst.exe");
void main()
char path[512];
int status;
status = GetDir (path);
if(IsWow64()) strcat(path,"\\64bit\\");
   else strcat(path,"\\32bit\\");
status = SetDir(path);
LaunchExecutable ("DPInst.exe");
This should do the trick.
Best Regards,
Greg

Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit?

Which is better for my new mac book pro, Windows Vista 32bit or 64bit Ultimate? All I care about is all of my programs and games working properly. And what does 86x mean? Will one version of the bits work faster than the other?

Hi Konnexion,
There is another more important limit with 32-bit versions of Windows, and that is the limit of 2 GBS of RAM per process. Unless some tricks and tweaks are used (which can result in reduced stability), no matter how much physical RAM is installed, a single application can't use more than 2 GBs. This is important for applications that can use large amounts of RAM like video and picture rendering apps, and even some games these days (particularly in Vista).
On the other hand, the 64-bit version of Vista has a number of additional security enhancements over the 32-bit version, such as address-space layout randomization, mandatory driver signing. If you have the RAM (at least 4GBs) and games are not a priority, I would actually recommend using the 64-bit version. Of course, why would you be using Boot Camp, if it weren't for games LOL?

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower

Oracle 10g XE migrate from 32bit to 64bit becomes slower
Currently we have a database using Oracle 10g XE R2
(Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0)
on a linux 32bit server.
And recently we did migrate it to another 64bit linux server.
But found after migration is it running slower at 64bit server (~ 25% slower)
1. We would wonder any tuning is required on 64bit server?
Besides, as I know Oracle XE only using single core CPU for processing.
On 32bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E31235 @ 3.20GHz
On 64bit linux the CPU is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2470 v2 @ 2.40GHz
2. Would the CPU clock speed on a single core also made the 64bit Oracle slower?
Thanks a lot.

32 or 64 bit normally won't cause much performance difference as long as you can't use > 4GB RAM
Please note that XE can use only 1 core and 1GB memory.
According to benchmarks, Single Thread Rating of the 2 CPU really differ by around 25%. Quite consistent with your observation.
Of course, IO (i.e., disk) speed is also an important factor.

Oracle 9i 32bit to 64bit

Dear all,
I have a question about oracle 9i change from 32bit to 64bit:
We want to change our SAP server from 32bit to 64bit (LINUX). In this case, we also want change the SAP from 32bit to 64bit (but no SAP release changed), and oracle 9i from 32bit to 64bit. Is this possible? How to do it? How much time need based on your estimate?
Because the system can not shut down more than 12 hours, we intend to use a old oracle export for new system installation and use the redolog rollforward to the lastest status. The new system is running on 64bit (oracle and SAP), but the redolog is 32bit, is it OK?
Thanks
Michael

steps are
Verify there are no invalid objects.
Verify all components in the DB are Valid
Install Oracle 64bit
Copy the Database files from the 32bit machine, to the 64bit machine.
(Datafiles, Logfiles, Controlfiles, init.ora, tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, etc..)
Run all the post scripts
When this was all done, there should be zero invalid objects.
export/import. advantage being that the old database will remain usable in case the migration fails
Good Luck

How to identify the installed Weblogic Server and JDK are 32bit or 64bit?

Hi everyone,
I have a question ~
Both Weblogic Server and JAVA JDK are installed on the server already, but I only know the Weblogic Server is 10.3.4.0 and JAVA JDK version is 1.6.0_25.
I know the 64bit Weblogic Server installation file is a wlsXXXX_generic.jar package and 64bit JAVA JDK needed also.
But, since the Weblogic installed already, there are no such installation files on the Linux Server now.
I have tried the "java -version" for java version and check the Weblogic version from Weblogic console.
How to identify the installed Weblogic Server and JDK are 32bit or 64bit with Linux command? Or is there any way to check it?

What you can try to do is use WLST (or an MBean browser, such as JConsole or JRockit Mission Control) and connect to the adminserver.
For example when using WLST:
# set the environment by using setWLSEnv.sh (located in the ${WL_HOME}/server/bin directory).
# start WLST by using: java weblogic.WLST
# connect to the adminserver
connect('adminusername','adminpassword');
# change to the serverruntime environment
serverRuntime();
# show the attributes
ls();
# Here an attribute is shown called WebLogicVersion that shows the version of WebLogic
-r-- WeblogicVersion WebLogic Server 10.3.5.0 Fri Apr 1 20:20:06 PDT 2011 1398638
# Note that this does not show if is 32 bits or 64 bits to retrieve this information you have obtain the JVM version
# change the directory
cd('JVMRuntime/AdminServer');
# show the attributes
ls();
-r-- Version R28.0.1-21-133393-1.6.0_20-20100512-2126-linux-x86_64
# when you have something like x86 at the you are running a 32 bit version, if you have something like x86_64 you are running a 64 bits versionAs mentioned above you can also retrieve this information by using a MBean browser.

Since I changed the operating system Windows 7 32bit to 64bit I can not use Firefox browser unless change the browser to safe mode.

Satellite A660 - How to change from 32bit too 64bit system

Howdy!
I bought a New Toshiba Satellite A660 i7-2630QM with windows 7 home premium.
My problem is Toshiba includes instructions for the first start up and it says i can choose between 32 bit operating system and 64 bit operation system, but when i turned it on the first time it did not give me any option/choice.
Now ive got 6GB memory and can only use 4GB because its set too 32 bit system is there any easy way to change it as I dont have a windows disc, all the software is preloaded?

Hi
I think this info is mentioned in user manual.
First of all you can create a Recover Disk with the Toshiba image.
You should create such disk using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recover Disk creator (or Toshiba Recovery Creator).
Furthermore there should be a possibility to recover the notebook using the HDD recover.
During the HDD recovery, the setup should provide an option which would allow you to choose between the 32bit and 64bit.
But just one question: what A660-xxx do you have exactly?

Vista 32Bit or 64Bit?

Hi,
Has anyone got any suggestions and some advice on which version of Vista is better, 32Bit or 64Bit and why?
My T500 has 4GB memory, but this is the maximum, at the moment, not sure if this will change when the 4GB SDIMM's will be realeased.
I've currently got Vista Business edition 64Bit installed on it but I'm having issues, not sure if it's me or the software, but would like to get some input from those who have 32Bit and 64Bit version of Vista on their T500.
Thanks in advance,

I've tried XP Pro, Vista Ultimate, and Vista Business 64 on my T400. I ended up sticking with the 64 bit OS since with the switchable graphics option and the limits of a non-PAE 32 bit OS, I only had 2.5G of RAM available with 3G or 4G installed. With VB 64, I get almost 4G usable which I need for the virtual machines I run.
I have been able to get (almost) all of my apps to run, and once I got the wifi sorted (by downgrading to the 5100 card) it has been quick and stable. So far...
YMMV
