Is Aperture a 16 bit program - need explanation?

Here's my question and I don't consider myself a tech head.
Is Aperture a 16 bit program. It never says it is in its' literature. It says you can export to Photoshop for 14 or 16 bit work, but doesn't say anything about how it handles the RAW files while in Aperture. It almost infers that it is not 14/16 bit because it says if you want to do that go to Photoshop. Is everything preserved correctly in Aperture if you have a 14/16 bit RAW file? Is there any technical difference between taking a 14/16 bit RAW file into: 1 - Lightroom and then in Photoshop or 2 - Aperture into Photoshop.
I read in an e-mail from B&H in NYC about the new Canon Mark III 1Ds is 14 bit and the newer professional printers from Epson (R4880 and up) are 16 bit (to work specifically with Macs architecture), but it doesn't mention Aperture as something that can really handle 14/16 bit RAW files. The email basically only said Lightroom and Photoshop are designed for 16 bit. It got me thinking.
Any information would be helpful, technical or otherwise; on the programs or the process.
Thanks
Jim

Thanks for the info.
After reading your reply and I went and checked out the Export and the Send To External Editor choices. I do believe though that you can output as either a Tiff or a PSD file depending on your presets. When you said TIFF only, I became curious.
I'm also curious why you have to choose a DPI for export of a RAW original file? Didn't think you would have to do that since it's RAW and the setting DPI is more for printing purposes. What is the original DPI of a RAW file anyway. I don't have that setting in my camera - I don't think. I don't know????
Thanks again for the help.

I just updated to OS X 10.7.5 and Aperture 3.4, but program will not open, keeps telling me I to restore windows

Quit Aperture, if it is running/ hanging.
Remove the file com.apple.Aperture.plist from the folder
Your home folder > Library > Preferences
The User Library is hidden by default. You can reveal it from the Finder's "GO" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences" sub folder and remove the file
your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist.
After removing the user preferences file, you will have to reset the Preferences, you selected in Aperture's preferences panel.

How to install 32 bit program with 16 bit installer on Windows 8.1 32 bit

Hi,
I have installed a 32 bit program that uses a 16 bit installer on Windows XP machines. The software developer of this program is out of business.
Can Windows 8.1 32 bit run a 16 bit installer? If not, any suggestions as to how I might install this program?
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi
You need to to install Windows XP in Hyper-V, because start from windows 8, they no longer support 16bit program.
or you already try DOSBox?

Executing external 16 bit programs

i want to execute some old 16 bit programs as back-end . I used process object and successfully executed some 32 bit programs. But when executing 16 bit programs it gives error as 'error in setting up environment' on windows. why is it happening and what changes are needed?try     {
               Process ps=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c star1.exe ");
               OutputStream stdin=null;
               stdin=ps.getOutputStream();
               stdin.write("\n".getBytes());
               stdin.close();
               BufferedReader bos=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ps.getInputStream()));
               String st=new String();
               String ln=new String("");
               while((ln=bos.readLine())!=null){
                    st+=ln;
                    st+="\n";
               bos.close();
               jt.setText(st);
               catch (Exception e)
                    e.printStackTrace();
               }

yeah i tried on some other 16 bit programs and it executes them, so it seems thats not the problem. the error i mentioned was being given to the command line without cmd.exe /c some.exe So thats not the case either. I found
that it doesn't show output unless program is terminated. And if program is waiting for keyboard stroke it doesn't accept it through inputstream of java, which i have in my code. So problem for me now is how to get output form program while it is still running and how to give keyboard stroke input to program expecting such an input. i need a resource suggestion or any kind of help explaining these points. please help me out...

Moved an old software (16 bit) program to XP, won't run.

We were running a spectrophotometer on a Windows 3.1 machine via a GPIB-PCII/IIA card, but when the computer died we couldn't find another one with the older card slot so we used ae trying the GPIB-USB-B on an WinXP computer. The GPIB Explorer can communicate with the instrument but the software program doesn't see the instrument. In the original help file for the spectrophotometer's software it says to go to system.ini and add the line device=c:\gpib-pcw\vdmad.386.
Since we no longer have this file we looked at the Windows\System32 folder and found several gpib*.dll files. We have tried gpib.dll, gpib-vdd.dll and gpib-32.dl, in place of vdmad.386 (we have corrected the path name too) so far but none of them have worked. We also ran the updatdos.exe successfully but seen no effect. We do have a Win 98 machine which has a USB port but we need a driver to run it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Originally we had a Windows 3.1 desktop hooked up to a Hitachi F-4500 Spectrophotometer via a GPIB-PCII/IIA ISA card. It had the installed software on it. The computer had been laboring for a while so we copied the entire System and Hitachi folders onto floppies. We were attempting to use a Windows XP machine computer with the GPIB-USB-B interface, but we were told a couple days ago that Windows XP doesn't support 16-bit programs anymore. So we found an older tower with an ISA slot and installed Windows 98. We got the ni driver ver. 1.7 and installed it. At this point when we go into Measurements and Automation we can communicate with the board. If we send an IDN? query it returns a binary address for the board.
Now we are trying to get the software to see the device. According to the readme file we need to make changes to autoexec.bat, win.ini and system.ini. The first two files were straightforward but in system.ini the modification calls for adding the device vdmad.386, since this is an older out of date file, we looked at the installed files by National Instruments and chose to install the gpibplug.vxd device instead. This worked better than some of the other choices like gpibnat.vxd or gpidnoif.vxd. However the software still comes up with two errors. When first attempting to bring up the program we receive the error "Unable to find GPIB device" after clicking on ok and attempting any of the functions (like Timescan) we get the error "Invalid GPIB setting (board or software)" and then the program closes.
I've recently attempted to make changes to the Registry due to this post http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=204735&query.id=219557#M204735
but that had no affect. We have the Windows XP machine and GPIB-USB-B interface still around. It does communicate with the instrument but we've had no luck with running the software.

Wres XP and I have an old windows program on floppiesindows 16 bit programs

Running VMWare Fusion and Boot Camp. Great system.
BUT Fusion XP (required by Fusion) won't run 16 bit programs-and I have one that I am addicted to, but can't install it.
Anybody know a workaround that will keep me in Fusion?
(Maybe I need to put this on a M/S Forum.)

I downloaded my Adobe Elements but it won't finish as it says I have a 32 bit program but my computer is a 64 bit

I purchased my program from the University book store and after I downloaded the program to my compute it now states that I can't because its a 32 bit program and I have a 64 bit computer. It did not have me select one and I looked at my packaging but it doesn't say its 32 bit only. How can I get this resolved?

Are you installing it from a package? The package is created for 32 bit & 64 bit separately.
Please check Silent install instructions | Photoshop Elements | AOO volume license version | Mac OS .
Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite
You might need to create a new package with the correct bit chosen.
You can also contact Adobe Support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6 .

16 Bit and 32 bit program

What is the difference between a 16 bit program and a 32 bit program?
Plus, is there a 64 bit program.
Thanks

It basically refers to the address space of a computer. To address a memory location the processor loads an address into a register. If the width of this register is 16 bit the computer is often called 16 bit, and the programs written for it 16 bit programs. This is the BASIC explanation. There are lots of modifications, for example the JVM. It can be seen as a software computer with a 32 bit address space. So Java programs are always 32 bit regardless of what computer they run.
Most computers today are 32 bits, but the general tendency is towards wider address spaces so 64 bit's in the pipeline.

Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Tablet TM2-2050 Windows 7 64 Bit - Error loading 32 bit program

Is there a solution for installing 32 bit software without purchasing same software in 64 bit? Purchased tablet for educational purposes and **bleep** school only has 32 bit program and as such I am receiving an error stating software cant be loaded.

I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
a networked desktop via the wire.
One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

Possible to run a 32 bit program in 64 bit Windows 7 Pro?

Hi
I've ordered a Thinkpad X220 which here in UK only comes with 64 bit version of windows 7 pro. Problem is that there a couple of programs which i use which only run in 32 bit windows (no 64 bit version available) and they run fine in my existing Win 7 32 bit version...i've tried them on a friend's pc running 64 bit Win 7 Ultimate and they do not work. Is there any way to make these programs work in Win 7 Pro 64 bit on my soon-to-arrive X220? If i downloaded and installed 'Windows XP Mode with Virtual PC" on my X220, would this help in making the 32 bit programs work on my 64 bit Win 7?
Cheers

Phychopomp1,
Windows 7 64 bit is able to run 32 bit programs. However, some programs will have issues.
Have you checked your programs against the Windows 7 compatibility list: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=2394
This should tell you if they are compatible or not with Windows 7 64-bit.
There are compatibility settings that you can try once you have installed the software also. Right click on the shortcut and choose properties, then go to the compatibility tab and try the various OS settings.
If those things fail, then you should try Windows XP Mode (convenience link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx). This will allow you to install your programs in a virtual copy of Windows XP SP3 using Windows Virtual PC. Once XP Mode is installed, when you install your software into it, you will get a shortcut to use the program from your Windows 7 start menu without even seeing the XP Mode window.
Hope this helps,

Microsoft Office Starter is a 32 bit program, why was it sold with my 64 bit Window 7 PC?

I purchased my PC because it came with Microsoft Office 2010 (so said the advertisement). I installed the Microsoft Office Starter as I was prompted. There was no option to select my OS otherwise I would've selected Windows 7 64 bit. I noticed the program
was installed as 32 bit and Word will not print my files. Why would you develop a 32 bit program to be sold on a 64 bit Operating System? Is there a 64 bit version I can download that I'm unaware of?

Hello,
As mentioned in the TechNet article, the 32-bit version of Office 2010 provides the same functionality and is also compatible with 32-bit add-ins. Therefore, the 32-bit version
of Office 2010 is installed by default.
64bit Office has better performance when running a single Excel larger than 2GB and also better performance when using Project files.
For normal use, 32bit Office did provide good performance
and more compatibility with existing
32-bit add-ins.
So, don’t worry about the 32bit or 64bit, go and enjoy Office 2010 new features!

Windows 8.1 64 bit installs 32 bit browser (Internet Explorer 11) but user would go on installing 64 bit programs which 32 bit browser (Internet Explorer 11) rejects, how to stop this?

For many days I searched for answer of how an Internet Explorer add-on installed because few websites won't run without it, but Windows OS or Internet Explorer itself won't allow install of these add-ons.
Please note following problems:
1. Windows 8.1 64 bit operating system installs 32 bit Internet Explorer 11, but this 32 bit Internet Explorer won't accept 64 bit add-ons which I tried to install for 64 bit Windows 8.1, incompatibility of 64 bit and 32 bit which
I knew already but didn't clicked even on posting forum questions not before 'ORACLE's message in yellow.
2. For 64 bit Windows I kept on trying to install 64 bit add-ons for Internet Explorer, which won't install or would send message 'Incompatible', once default installations of these add-on's are disturbed but not completely uninstalled, new installations
won't be entertained at all, only way is reinstall of Internet Explorer.
3. Therefore I installed Apple's 'Safari', which also displayed same messages, but allowed install of 'Quick Time', and now I listen to my favourite songs on a great sound system of a website.
4. Windows needs correction for this.
Best of Luck.

When trying to install iTunes I get an error saying "a program needed to install itunes cannot be run". Any ideas what that program is?

My computer would not let me update my version of itunes so I was advised to uninstall and start fresh. I still get the same error..."a program needed to complete the installation cannot run". Can any one tell me what program they are referring to or if anyone has a fix for this?

I'd start with the following user tip with that one:

Thank you Bob.
Just to clarify - in terms of backing up one set of these, would that just be so I had it on disk and didn't need to re-download from Adobe if the installation got corrupted somehow? Or do I need a backup for some other reason?
Thanks
