HT1461 how do i know if my mac works with 32 or 64 bit of windows 7

Any clue? Thanks

See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 This site will tell you if you can install a 32 or 64-bit Windows version on the computer. In most of the cases, you can install the version you want but in other cases, you have to install the 32-bit edition (on old computers) or only the 64-bit version (on new computers)

    how do I know if my mac is 32 or 64 bit?

    Top left corner, click apple,
    open about this mac
    click on more info...
    --- lot of data about your machine here ---
    click on system report (or go to utilities/ system report -- its just more fun this way) 
    Compare your Processor Name to information below
    determine whether your Mac has a 32-bit or 64-bit processor.
    all later model macs are 64 bit (unlike ms)

  • I have some OLD software on my Mac Pro. How do I know if it will work with Snow Leopard? Currently I'm using 10.5.8.

    I have some OLD software on my Mac Pro. How do I know if it will work with Snow Leopard? Currently I'm using 10.5.8.

    Michael Wasley's link (wikidot) is as accurate as any I can find.
    It's still wise to check with the vendors' websites for compliance.
    Biggest source of problems seems to be printer and scanner drivers.
    Appleworks 6.2.9 works fine in SL under Rosetta (note; Rosetta is installed by default in Leopard - in SL you may have to select it from the optional installations).
    Check particularly with Adobe products; some you'd think should work ok suddenly don't.

  • I updated Mozilla Firefox to the lastest version. How do I know whether Avast is working with Firefox?

    I got a Mozilla Firefox update, so I did it.
    A message came up saying that Avast would no longer work with it.
    I went back to your site and reported that it wasn't working with it.
    How do I get the two working together again, or do I need to go back and reinstall an older version of Firefox?

    Can't see the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History...Help)? Hold down the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M
    The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again (View > Toolbars). Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
    Also see [[Menu bar is missing]]
    If that doesn't work, try resetting your toolbars and controls through [[Safe Mode]].

  • How do I know "Roaming Network" is working with Airport Express and Airport Extreme and should I use extended wireless network for third Express?

    Attempting to eliminate a dead spot in Wifi coverage [and implement AirPlay] have one Airport Extreme 802.11n and two Airport Express 802.11n's.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
    The Airport Extreme is of course connected to cable modem and Ethernet switch, and one Airport Express is connected to the Ethernet network. As per instructions for creating a "Roaming Network", Airport Express is set to same SSID, security type, and Password.
    Questions:
    1. How does the client device know which Airport to connect to? In other words, will it switch to the closer WiFi transmitter automatically? The WiFi reception problem is intermittent in the fringe areas so what I do not want it for it to stick with the more distant Airport Extreme in the basement when the Airport Express which is closer will work better.
    2. How can I tell which of the Airports the attached client device is using?
    The third Airport Express will be in a third location - I was planning on using it also for expanding coverage but after reading the warnings about performance suffering when purely using WiFi for the expansion in this location ("Wireless Extended Network" without an ethernet connection) I have figured that the single wired Airport Express will be adequate and will use the third Express to do Airplay only.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
    Question: Can I use this second Airport Express to extend the wireless network via "Extended Wireless Network" while the other two are in "Roaming Netowrk" configuration? Without bogging down??
    Mitch

    1. How does the client device know which Airport to connect to?
    The Mac computer will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal...which is probably the closest AirPort. An iPhone or iPad may not do this and will tend to stay connected to one AirPort.
    2. How can I tell which of the Airports the attached client device is using?
    On a Mac, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility. Click on one of AirPorts. In the area to the right, locate the AirPort ID and jot that down. Then do the same for your other AirPort.
    Move your Mac near one of the AirPorts and log on to the wireless. Hold down the option key on the Mac while you click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device to which you are connected.
    If you are close to the "remote" AirPort, and you see the AIrPort ID of the "main" router when you are testing, then you know that the network is not configured correctly.
    Can I use this second Airport Express to extend the wireless network via "Extended Wireless Network" while the other two are in "Roaming Netowrk" configuration? Without bogging down??
    There will be a modest 10-15% bandwidth loss with the "extend" setup, assuming that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the AirPort to which it is associated. You can avoid the bandwidth loss if the Express is also connected via Ethernet as part of the roaming configuration.

  • How will we know when Java plugins work with 4.0?

    I got an error message saying that Java was disabled but it WAS enabled! Webinars like Go To Meeting depend on a browser and Java to be compatible, as I missed a meeting!!! The 4.0 should have been de bugged before the public was subjected to this fiasco. I'm out money because it took so much time to look for a fix or info, bottom line is that I am out of luck. I am so very sorry I downloaded the 4.0 upgrade. I've read that there is not going back. The many many folks leaving messages is a big red flag that Mozilla jumped the gun on this one.

    1) Export your project to a mdl file using the OWB 9.0.3 client.
    2)Use the "OWB MDL File upgrade utility" which you will find in your 904 installation
    3) Create a new repository for OWB904, and import the upgraded mdl file.
    As far as I know there is no utility that can upgrade the repository directly.

  • How to make in/out Port vis work with COM interface under different windows versions?

    Hello!
    I know that the accessHW is necessary for it, so I downlaoded the
    this file from the homepage of NI, but there are always some problems
    with it.
    My program should get the the voltage impulse between
    the pins DTR and RTS of a COM interface. After
    I installed accessHW under winNT, the voltage between them changed
    automatically from 0 mV to about 24 mV , and program
    worked well . But this way does not work under Win98 and Win2000,
    and this voltage is always 0 so that the device can not make any voltage
    impulse.
    Could someone give me a software solution for it? Thanks!
    P.S:The version of the labview I use is 6.1.
    Le

    You shouldn't depend on a voltage difference between the tow pins unless you need something like 24 volts and not 24 millvolts. All of the signal lines are referenced to ground and the signal lines usually swing between -3 to -12 and +3 to +12 volts. If you truly saw a 24 millivolt difference between two signal leads, then all that means is that they are both at the same logic state. A difference of 24 millivolts is not much and has to do with the UART in your computer and not accessHW I believe though maybe what happened is that the difference is 24mv when both are logic "1" and less when logic "0" or vice versa. If your device requires power from the serial port, then what you'll have to do is control the signal lines in your program and I
    would recomend VISA to do that instead of inport/outport. And check the voltage requirements of your device. If this is a device you designed, it should be designed for the lower voltages on new pc's and laptops. In other words, I would depend on 3 volt signals instead of 12. There are numerous references to either RS-232 or EIA-232 on the web. I think a review of the electrical specifications is needed.

  • How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive?

    How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive
    and seeing the system profiler? In fact, because the drive wont start up, Now I am wondering if it is pre-intel. ? CMD-I doesn't do it. Thanks

    Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
    I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
    I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.

    I have an external hard drive that I used with my mini mac.  I want to use it on my MacBookPro.  I plugged it in found it on my computer, it flashes seemed okay until it tipped over and came unplugged to  the computer.  I set it back up turned it on and the grren light sometimes flashes.  I read an article that said I needed to format the drive, I followed instructions and did that.  I will download tomorrow my pictures.
    Question
    How do I know if this is working
    does it record everything on your computer?
    How do I see what is there?  on the drive
    confused please direct me to help
    thanks
    kathy

    it may be very basic but I still don't get it,   the instructions are basic too so I'm sure I'm missing some thing here.i don't know how to copy  data and copy it back
    I don't see any indicaters  to do so.  I'll try again, , it's on a laptop and I don't want it connected all the time, just to secure some images.
    how  do i copyu...
    maybe I'll try a 'zip' drive instead?? But I don't understand them either, hard to be a dunce.
    and by the way, my computer has been freezing up on me lately had to turn it off and on, what have i done to it!!
    I just connected it again and it shows as a number22but nothing happens when I click on it...shouldn't something happen here? It seems to be empty as well as it should since I followed instructions on formatting.  so what now? 
    This is trying your patience I'm sure,you may just forget about helping me I just don't have a clue
    but  if you can help, I am listening.

  • How do i create/combine my mac id with my iPhone id?

    i wanted to download an app form app store and was asked for my id.. apperntly my iPhone id is limited to my country's app store and my email is in use for that id... how do i create/combine my mac id with my iPhone id so i can download apps from appstore?

    The Apple ID for the iTunes stores and for the Mac App Store are the same account. You can only buy from the stores in the countries in which you have the qualifications. You must have a bank card in that country and the bank card must have a valid billing address in that country. Creating more than one Apple ID is a bad idea and will not help you get around the requirements.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

  • How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

    My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive.  I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
    I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.
