How to open 32 bit software on a MBPR

I Have a slide scanner but because it's a few years old, it's a 32 bit software device. How can I have my MacBook Pro retina 13" open the software? The instructions from the manufacturer say to right click on the app (SilverFast) and select Get Info, then click on the check box to make it open in 32 bit but there is no check box to allow that to work.

OK... good news! I found a new driver for the scanner, circa 2011, and installed that plus I got a response from the software developer
('I assume that you accidentally used the "Get Info" of the SilverFast
installation folder instead of the SilverFast 8.app itself. Please try
to right click the SilverFast 8 Dock Icon -> Options -> Show in Finder
As a result of this action, a new Finder window will open and the
SilverFast 8.app will already be highlighted in this folder. Please
try to set SilverFast 8 to 32bit mode using this way again.')
After installing and following the above comments, I then found a check box for 'run in 32 bit' to allow me to run the app and scanner. I haven't had time to test this yet but I should be able to test it later this week... very busy training all this week.

How to make 32 bit software to contact 64 bit oracle

Hi
I m using Oracle 10G 64 bit in Windows 64 bit server. Our Product is a 32 bit software and when i m trying to create database using our product it is throwing JDBC Driver error. So i installed 32 bit Oracle client and set the user env variables for client oracle home and path. but still i m not able to create the database because it is taking the client Oracle home which should not happen. i m totally confused now and not sure how to achieve the end goal. Can anyone help me on how to contact 64 bit Oracle using a 32 bit client software.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Aman
Sorry for late reply, was sick.
we ship the product to the customer where it is supposed to do it this way.
below is the error we are getting:
Data store 'historical' is broken: status is DRIVER.
This is specific to our product and This says that 32 bit product with its driver is not able to contact 64 bit oracle driver. So i introduced Oracle Client where our 32 bit product will speak with our 32 bit oracle client and oracle client inturn will speak with 64 bit oracle server. But again there was a confusion in this setup. When i did the Environment variables configuration, our product is trying to create the database in 32 bit client oracle home path which is not correct. Kindly suggest me if u have any idea on this.
Thanks
Ram

How to install 32-bit software on windows 7

I recently purchased HP Pavilion p7-1234 w/ Windows 7. Can I/how do I install software that I used on Windows XP (32-bit)?
AND, does anyone know if I can download the XP version of Solitaire? I DO NOT care for the version of Solitaire that came with Win 7.
I don't know about anyone else, but I find Win 7 to be less user-friendly than XP.

How to open 12-bit RAW files

I have Adobe Master Collection CS6.
After a recent photography trip I accidentally downloaded raw images from my Nikon D600 to a computer that had an older 32-bit version of Nikon View NX2. All of the files came across as 12-bit RAW lossless compressed instead of 14-bit RAW lossless compressed. Photoshop will not open any of these files.
I contacted Nikon support first (twice), but they couldn’t/wouldn’t offer any suggestion on how I might be able to open these files for post-processing. Do you have any suggestions that might help me?

Hi,
Did you already erase the images from the card?
(format the card)
For some reason older versions of nikon view when used with more recent nikon
cameras corrupt the images in such a way that adobe camera raw won't open them.
If you don't have access to the images on the card anymore, i.e. you already formatted
the card, you might try this to fix the nefs so adobe camera raw will open them:

How to open 32 bit PNG with unpremultiplied alpha?

I've got the latest Photoshop CC (2014) and I've been trying to figure out how to import a 32 bit PNG file with an embedded but unpremultiplied alpha channel in it. So this is a PNG image with four channels: Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha. Unfortunately, when I open it in PS, I get a three channel (R, G, B) image where PS has cheerfully premultiplied the alpha into the other channels, as you can see here:
The "glow" is the Alpha channel's unwanted effect.
I know the Alpha channel is still there because if choose Channel-->Split, I get four grayscale images: myimage_red, myimage_green, myimage_blue, and myimage_transparency.    So the Alpha information is being kept separate, but PS is being "helpful" and premultiplying it on the open.
Is there a setting or anything else that can overcome this behavior?
Note: The reason for this is that I'm using the "alpha" channel for something else (ambient occlusion) in a CG program and it should not be being used for transparency at this point.   (Long story.)

Thank you for your prompt response!   I apologize if I misused the term "premultiplied."   Here's what I am familiar with the term from:   https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/compositing-alpha-channels-adjusting-clip.html
With straight (or unmatted) channels, transparency information is stored only in the alpha channel, not in any of the visible color channels. With straight channels, the effects of transparency aren’t visible until the image is displayed in an application that supports straight channels.
With premultiplied (or matted) channels, transparency information is stored in the alpha channel and also in the visible RGB channels, which are multiplied with a background color. The colors of semitransparent areas, such as feathered edges, are shifted toward the background color in proportion to their degree of transparency.
So, here is what I see on my Photoshop screen when I open this image. Note that there are only THREE channels displayed, Red, Green and Blue (and the composite RGB channel). All three of them display transparency, allowing the (in this case checkered) background to show through:
Now, if I select Channels-->Split Channels I get these FOUR images.   Note that there is a "Transparency" channel which has my separate information that I want, and there are three color channels, none of which display transparency.   This is what I meant by "premultiplied".   In the default mode above, Photoshop has "multiplied" each color channel by the "Transparency" channel.   This is the behavior I was seeking to avoid.    Can you offer any further advice on how to prevent this automatic use of the "Transparency" layers, or is this something that Photoshop does not support at this time?
"Transparency"
"Blue"
"Green"
"Red"

How to open subvis before software execution?

Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a way of opening subvis along with my main vi and having it run the same time the main vi is running? As soon as I double click on the main vi, I want the subvi front panels to pop up along with the main vi and run them all when I click run on my main vi. Thankyou.

Yes, there are two steps.
1... Place your subVIs on the diagram of the main VI, outside of any loops or cases or anything else. This will make them run whenever the main VI runs.
2... Set the SubVIs to OPEN FRONT PANEL WHEN LOADED on the WINDOW APPEARANCE - CUSTOMIZE pane. This will make them open whenever th main VI opens.
You should realize several things:
1... You have to have an event loop in each subVI that handles controls from that VI's panel.
2... You have to provide a signal (Event, notifier, occurrence, etc..) to the subVI to quit, whenever the main VI quits. ABORT is not a good plan.
3... Debugging is a bit more complicated. If you hit a breakpoint on one VI, the others are still running. If you ABORT one VI, the others are still running.
4... You have to share the CPU. You can't do stuff like poll the GO button a million times per second in one VI, because you'll starve the other loops.

iOS apps can be added to an iTunes library and thereafter transferred to an iOS device. They cannot be opened directly on a PC.
epub files can be added to an iTunes library, and thereafter transferred to an iOS device where they can be read with the iBooks application. Files protected with Apple's DRM cannot be opened directly on a PC, though there are programs such as Kindle and Calibre that will open non-protected epub files.

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.

How to open a file throught specifcly software?

Hi all,
I pretend to open a file that is already check in on content server throught some software.
For example, a *jpeg file is check in on content server and then I want to be able to open this file directly with photoshop.
I know that the service GET_FILE opens some files (txt, docs, etc) but how can I customize specifcly softwares to do it?
Thank you,

if i am not mistaken, COAO still uses the OS mechanism to invoke the associated native application and that only supports one way of opening a particular filetype (well, technically there are two, the native app and the "choose application" option).
one possible way of doing what you are looking for, is to use custom protocol handlers. a protocol handler is the piece of code that gets invoked by the browser framework to handle a particualr URL. most browsers have built-in handlers for http, https and ftp, but you can extend the list yourself. so basically you would create a handler for each app you want to invoke or you would create a universal handler that chooses itself.
most messaging clients, btw, use this technique to allow you to create links on a webpage. what you would have to do then is to customize UCM to generate this particular URL in the action menu. (e.g. photoshop:/my/path/via/web/dav.jpg) the photoshop: part would then trigger your custom handler which would then simply invoke the associated application.
some pointers:

http://ajaxian.com/archives/creating-custom-protocol-handlers-with-html-5-and-firefox
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914(VS.85).aspx
in any case, you will have to do some custom coding, if you want to go above and beyond what the operating system gives you.
hope this helps,

I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?

I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?

The simplest method is to run a defaults command on the client Macs (easily pushed via Apple Remote Desktop):
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL 'HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG'
for a user. If you run it via sudo it will set it for whenever you use softwareupdate as root.
The HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG has been changed with Mac OS X 10.6. If you use MCX it will automatically pick the new catalog – however if doing it manually the following URLs need to be used for whichever client version is in question:
Mac OS X 10.4: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.5: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.6: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.7: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.8: index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
To double check this applied you can run the following command:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
and /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
to see what settings are for the computer and user appropriately.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
MCX
Another alternative is to use Workgroup Manager to manage the preferences via MCX from your server. This can be done for users, or for computers if they are bound to your Open Directory.
If you are using 10.5 Server or newer: you can simply use the Software Update section under Preferences.
Manually:
Choose the accounts, computers, or groups to have the preference applied to.
Click on Preferences, and then the Details tab
Press the Add… button and navigate to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Press Edit…
Under Often, add a New Key and enter the name CatalogURL
Make sure the type is string and then enter your SUS URL (eg. http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog or if using 10.6: http://mysus.examle.com:8088/ – see above from the defaults section)
Press Apply Now, then Done. Once users/computers have refreshed their MCX settings (usually the next login or restart) the new settings will take over.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
In order to have a system-wide configuration one has to run the following:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index.sucatalog"
In order to correctly work both on Leopard and Snow Leopard the right command to issue is:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
Happily used and tested on my network
The DNS trick that Chealion points out is fantastic. I use it at our office, and every computer on our LAN will automatically pull the updates from the local repository at high speed without any configuration.
Create the swscan.apple.com DNS zone on your internal DNS server, and have it resolve via an A record to your Mac

Hi, anyone can tell me how to open a CD - ROM FOR windows 2000 and XP Version 1.1b Software by Softwire LTD?

Then you will need a copy of XP running in a virtual machine, or possibly bootcamp depending what Mac OS you're currently on.
Rather expensive way to do it, but if it's Windows software, you need Windows.

My iMac is not "64-bit clean". Can it run 64-bit software?

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac that is about 4 years old. Apparently it cannot boot into the 64-bit kernel. Can it still run 64-bit software?

How have you determined your machine will not run Snow Leopard in 64 bit mode?
To tell whether it can or cannot open Terminal and run:
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi
It will return either “EFI32″ or “EFI64.” If it's EFI64 congratulations it will run in 64 bit.
However please remember there are still very few applications that take advantage of 64 bit architecture so even the newer machines that can run 64bit apps don't see any advantages.

Roger

64 bit software on x86 hardware

I have a Windows XP machine that is 32 bit (x86) hardware. The machine was sent to a company that was supposed to upgrade to Windows 7. This is an x86 system.
The company upgraded using Windows 7 64-bit software. The system now seems to have some issues with program functionality (i.e. Word randomly closing when I try to click on a open document). And is very, very slow.
The company said that if the computer allowed them to load 64-bit software, than the computer was 64-bit compatible and it was the correct software to load.
Can anyone provide me with some insight/opinion into this?
Regards,
Diane
DA

If the processor didn't support the x86_64 architecture (quite possible for older Windows PCs), Windows 7 64-bit would fail to install or run. So that it's installed means you do have a processor supporting 64-bit software.
However, do you know how much RAM your PC has? Microsoft recommend at least 2 GB for the 64 bit edition of Windows 7, vs 1 GB for the 32-bit edition. Windows will allow installations with less and the result is usually poor performance. So if your PC has
less than 2GB of RAM, complain that the company you dealt with should not have installed the 64-bit edition of Windows 7. (If it has more than 3GB, on the other hand, 64-bit is definitely the right option.)
Other things you can try:
Switch to the Windows 7 Basic or even the Windows Classic theme. (Right-click the Desktop and click Personalize.) This reduces RAM usage and can help performance on lower-spec systems.
Open the Device Manager (right-click Computer and choose Manage) and check there aren't any warnings in the devices. In particular if you don't have proper graphics drivers installed you can get a sluggish experience.

How It Was Fixed (Possible Software Bug Not Hardware): Getting the iMac Screen/Menus Garbled and/or Yellow Circle Before Getting Into Finder Issues?

Hi. Possible fix done to my late- 2009 iMac's screen/graphics issue that may work God willing, hopefully for most [In my case it sometimes had that yellow circle that appears before it goes to the Finder but mostly it was a messed up desktop and menus (unreadable mostly) after months, prayers and weeks of fixing it; recommended to be read entirely first coz' it's a bit complicated (like a lot of subplots). If uncomfortable to try coz' it involved a GPU stress test, contact your authorized Apple service center for their advice]. I had an iMac (late 2009) screen garbling a few hours ago (was weeks ago when it resurfaced until it got worse that it's at every boot on Mavericks):
† I booted to Snow Leopard USB external (my back-up OS) drive then run the first person shooter at redeclipse.net. I set everything to max, including the display, resolution and graphics setting with fullscreen and v-sync on. I then refreshed it which brought it back to normal (I then tested it's stability with GPUTest 0.7 with Furmark for 15 minutes). * if the display options have been set to max before, bring it back to the default then refresh and then max it again Possibly any games that's has the graphic settings (or more advanced) of Red Eclipse could work (other free ones are Xonotic and Open Arena which are based on Quake 1 or 3s engine I believe).
Optional but not recommended (have warrantied if that's still available or have it repaired at authorized service centers):
If that doesn't work, review articles and videos on how to open an Intel iMac and get an iPhone/iPad/another way to get to the 'net ready for research (I opened mine very carefully on the right side with a cutter with blade extended far prying it carefully then I inserted a flat end, sturdy plastic used for mixing epoxy then removed the cutter carefully to let the plastic mixing tool do the prying) to see if the cable connected to the logicboard which is on top of, is connected (mine was detached but I'm not sure if the adjusting and tilting of the screen overtime for 2 & 1/2 years, detached it) then do † above again.
It could to be a software problem, a possible Apple ATI driver bug that takes overtime to surface (2 1/2 years it resurfaced because this started in my case after upgrading to Lion when Apple coded things mostly from the ground up. Snow Leopard didn't have this problem).
Thank you for your time. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/great upcoming weekend. I hope this helps.
God bless, Rev. 21:4, Matt. 16:18

Does an external display also act in a similar manner as the internal one?
Some earlier Intel-based iMacs had graphic processor card issues; not sure what
the symptoms of the majority of them were, but some had odd patterns, others
went black, and some would range from OK to totally unusable. Among others.
So there is a chance the graphic processor may be going out; or just the circuitry
that controls the backlight. An inverter may be weak or other circuit to the display
could be wearing out.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
If you have access to an Apple Store with Genius bar, they can perform some kinds
of diagnostic tests there even though the computer is out-of-warranty; that may be
of help to narrow down the cause of the symptoms you've noticed. They may not be
able to repair it, however, at an Apple Store; as it is rather old by today's standard.
An Apple Authorized Service Provider could do repairs and testing on older models
the Apple Store's Genius and other may not be set up to handle due to vintage.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
There is a country locator page to help find either of the above in regions outside
of the US & Canada, not sure how the above links would work; and it appears my
bookmarks to the country locator page may not be accessible now to post here.
You may be able to get an idea about what kinds of parts support the display
function by name by looking into an iFixit.com repair guide for your iMac series.
Hopefully the parts supporting the display are the reason it is dimming down, as
a graphic processor failure likely would exhibit other behaviors than just dimming.
PS: I see you've added content to your thread after I'd started working on this
& the answer likely is a hardware repair; professional testing is worth the time
and you seem to have at least one other thread on the same topic....
Good luck & happy computing!
