ITunes only works in 64 bit mode and older movies doesn`t play
Hello,
I have ~400 movies, including tv shows and movies, but from the last iTunes updated, I cannot play my library or add news movies, not from iTunes menu ou using iFlicks as always did. And my home sharing didn`t working anymore.
I read googled about and I think it`s maybe because some issues with 64 bit mode, but iTunes will not working in 32 bit anymore, so what should I do? Any help????
At Mike Johnson12's suggestion I posted my problem separately at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15801854#15801854 . The only response I have received there so far is from another person who has experienced the same problem you & I have. That makes at least 3 of us. Please feel free to hijack my post there if you think it might help!

Itunes is running in 64-bit mode and will not let me switch to 32- bit mode
I guess 64-bit mode requires MAC OS X 10.7 and I only have 10.6.8 so somehow i need to switch back to 32-bit mode and the instructions it gives me to do so don't make any sense. help!

I do not have any idea what plugin they are talking about.
Previous versions of Firefox were only 32 bit, Firefox 4 for the Mac contains 32 and 64 bit versions. If you want to always start Firefox in 32 bit mode, open up Finder and go to the Applications folder. Control-click the Firefox app and click "Get Info", then select the "Open in 32-bit mode" option.

I am assuming the plugin that the Firefox message is referring to is for attaching a file to the email. I say this because at the bottom of a new email it has a link that says "Attach files more easily" which, when you click it, takes you to a setup process where you download an att updater. I ran that and it did seem to change anything. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make Firefox handle this page without having to restart in 32-bit mode every time.
That means that you need to run Firefox in 32 bit mode if you want to use that plugin.
# Close Firefox
# Open the Applications folder in Finder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox -
Since I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 iTunes only works in Windows 7 "Safe Mode".
Since I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 iTunes only works in Windows 7 "Safe Mode". it will not run in the normal mode. (It ran properly in Vista) I spent several hours with the Microsoft Technician going through the "1717 suggestions, but to no avail. On my own, I tried iTunes in Windows 7 "Safe Mode" and was successful! It ran like a charm. Unfortunately, I can't run iTunes properly in "Safe Mode" I have not tried moving one set of the files yet. But if iTunes works in Safe Mode, do I need to relocate anything or do I need to find what is causing the conflict between Windows 7 and iTunes?
Which Satellite A205?
Which Windows 7 (64-bit)? What about the other laptop?
Which printer model, version, and so forth?

ITunes will only open in 64 Bit Mode from Dock since Restore
I have only ONE big problem since doing a restore from my Time Machine backup-up for for Late 2009 iMac 27". For some reason I can only get iTunes to open in 64 bit mode if I put an icon on the dock???? It opens in 32 bit mode which is selected in the Get Info - Command+I if I open it from the Finder (which is my preference due to my many 32 bit Visualizers....) but if I put a shorcut icon on the dock REGARDLESS of what my settinigs are in the finder it Always opens in 64 bit mode and tells me my visualizers can not be loaded... Which I am well aware of! What I don't understand is why this has just happened since reformating and restoring from a time machine backup???? Everything else... at this point appears to be working just fine. BUT if I open iTunes from the dock... 64 bit mode no questions asked.... opened from Applications in the finder and it grabs my 32 bit mode Prefs? This is really irritating. I have dumped caches, re-downloaded and installed iTunes. Not sure what else to do??? Why is this ONLY happeningn if I put an iTunes link on the Dock? Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated. Thanks.

Here's the latest. I did the old standby of creating another Admin Account and the behaviour does not occur when logged into that account. So it appears that the restore somehow screwed up settings on my current account. I have indeed checked and there is no other copy of iTunes on my computer except for the DLoaded version of iTunes10.6 where I downloaded and tried to the re-install thing.
Of course still haven't heard back from Apple but I really wasn't expecting too this early. I guess that my next step is to transfer to the user/shared folder and change permissions on each and every folder/preference and file to the new Admin account... until I find out which setting is causing the problem. To so this is a pain in 'arse' would be an understatement.
Also found out that Preferences has the same behavior as iTunes. 64 bit ALWAYS unless checked during that specific login and NOT started from the dock.... Strange though... both seem to hold the 32 bit (for the session) if run from 'recent', the Apple Menu, or the Finder??? As Alice would say "Curiouser and Curiouser"
My suggestion to ANYONE converting to LION (after this episode) is to back up and do a CLEAN install. Obviously something from Leopard and Snow Leopard doesn't really like Lion that much.
I have been using computers since 1981 and Apples since OS 8 ... even had few dificulties with the OS X beta, but this one has me befuddled and somewhat irritated. I have thousands of dollars worth of software that I really don't want to have to re-install, re-register, but that may be the only viable option at this point. -
4s with latest software update will not power off, text will only vibrate, iPod only works with earphones. When I sync it with iTunes it works until power save mode starts, then back to not powering down, making text sounds, or playing iPod out loud.
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Backing up, Updating and Restoring
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first... -
I keep getting message "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32 bit mode" what does this mean and how can I fix it? It seems to come up randomly, but I'm fairly ignorant.

Hi. I am in need of advice - and am not very IT savvy! I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8 OS. A site I use every day told me today it would only open in 32-bit mode. I researched and found some advice on how to choose 32-bit mode in system preferences. I do not have that box to click in system preferences. Can anyone tell me as to why suddenly this has happened, and any suggestions on how to go back to 32-bit mode would be great! I did try restarting holding down the 3 & 2 keys as suggested too. No luck. Thanks for any help.
Does the site use 32-bit mode Java? If that's the case, you should have both 32 and 64-bit enabled though Java Preferences in your Utilities folder:
See what you have enabled...

I just updated FF to 14.0.1 (Mac 10.6.8) and now netflix won't work. It's asking to restart in 32 bit mode and I changed it in the Get Info to 32 bit. No luck.
Try downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight for Mac [http://microsoft-silverlight-mac.en.softonic.com/mac link text]. I just did this, and was able to play Netflix's streaming again--and without that "restart in 32-bit mode" button even appearing!

64 bit mode and some questions
Happy New Year all,
Just once I'd like to start up in 64 bit mode. I've tried to do it several times without success and I don't know what the problem is. Hardware, software?
I'm running two 10.6.2 systems, one on 1 SSD 3 drive Raid 0 array, one on another. Both internal and I used SoftRaid to set both up.
Each time I try, I get the gray screen with Apple logo and the spinning wheel. After a time I get the circle with a bar through it and have to use the power button to shut down. When I tried it last time on one array, the above happened and both arrays unmounted. I could only get my disks mounted by booting from a clone and both systems, the 32 and 64 bit, did not show in the Startup Disk Pref Pane. Both systems showed up when I pressed the Option key at start up but I couldn't start up from either.
I should have remembered to press the 3 and 2 keys to get access to those drives again but a PRAM reset got my 32 bit system back again. From there with a little research I saw mention of the 3 and 2 keys again, tried it on the 64 bit system and got it to boot in 32 bit.
Long story short though I don't know why I can't at least boot into 64 bit mode. Could it have something to do with the SSDs? Could it have something to do with SoftRaid? Why would both arrays dismount when only one should be affected?
Is it a common issue for many 64 bit compatible Macs to not be able to start up in 64 bit mode for any one of a variety of reasons? I should say that neither of my systems can start up that way.
Thanks, any insight is appreciated.Talk to Mark and look for any notes on SoftRAID and 64-bit mode;
Try installing Mac OS only to one of your SSDs (break the array).
Just a nice small clean Apple ONLY OS.
"6" + "4" ought to get you into 64-bit kernal mode.
Any PCIe card/driver you have to be concerned with?
==================
SoftRAID 3.6.8 is compatible with Snow Leopard in 32 bit mode. You will be asked to replace the newer version of the SoftRAID driver that is bundled with Snow Leopard, with the 3.6.8 driver.
+A newer, *64 bit version of the SoftRAID driver* is included with Snow Leopard for users in 64 bit mode,+ which will allow you to keep existing volumes and access data from the 64 bit version of Snow Leopard. Currently, only the X-Serve boots into 64 bit mode by default. *SoftRAID 3.6.8 will not work in 64 bit mode.*
SoftRAID 4.0 is coming soon!
SoftRAID version 4 will be a full 64 bit Snow Leopard compatible version. We don't have a firm shipping date, but will try to have a "customer beta" in a few weeks for those who want to beta test SoftRAID 4.0.
The SoftRAID 4.0 official release will probably be in October. Upgrades will cost $69, except for 2009 purchasers, who will get it free.

Does safari 5.1 work in 32 bit mode
HI,
I am using a 32 bit plugin which works fine in safari 5.0.5 when run in 32 bit mode. But I have installed safari 5.1 recently and i launched safari in 32 bit mode by checking the check box from Get Info. But still my plugin doesn't work. Does safari 5.1 work fine in 32 bit mode as safari 5.0.5. I read some were that from Lion Mac OX 10.7 , safari 5.1 will work in 64 bit mode. does that mean support for safari in 32 bit mode completely removed?Hi Barry,
Thank you for the info..
To verify if I am seeing this issue with only my plugin..i tried installing adobe shock wave plugin and tested using the following url- "www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcom" . Animation available in that page is not getting displayed. But i dont get a pop to launch the browser in 32 bit mode. If I launch safari in 64 bit mode itself I get the pop telling the plugin will work fine only in 32 bit mode.
Where as i can see the animation getting played fine in safari 5.0.5 in 32 bit mode and pop msg to launch the browser when tried in 64 bit mode.
Can you please give me some input on what settings you have done to launch safari in 32 bit mode , other than checking the check box "open in 32 bit mode" under safari->getInfo .
Regards. -
ITUNES ONLY WORKS FOR 5 MINUTES AT A TIME
iTunes stopped working about a month ago, but then I fixed it using the msconfig solution. It worked for a while now I have the same problem, i can fix it, but then iTunes only works for about five minutes before closing. This is the only way I can fix it; first, by re-installing iTunes, then, doing the msconfig solution and restarting the computer. Then after about 5 minutes it closes. To open it again I have to go through the whole proccess. I cannot figure out how to permanently fix it.
Sounds like you have some malware that is interfering with iTunes.
What do you have to turn off in msconfig to get iTunes working?
It's pretty involved to remove it. If you have purchased security software like Norton or McAfee, I suggest contacting them for help.
Otherwise try this

How do I get iTunes to open in 32-bit mode if I don't have a Mac, just a PC
I am trying to play a tv show on my PC that I bought on iTunes and it says I don't have the Quicktime, or something like that. So I downloaded a new Quicktime and it still says that. So I clicked on more info and it took me to an Apple page showing how to get iTunes to open in 32-bit mode from a Mac. I have a PC and I need to know how to get iTunes to run in 32-bit mode
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get those page back.
Are you restarting this way?
# Close Firefox
# Open the Applications folder in Finder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox -
I need to sync my iphone as its damaged ( water submersion) i can't though as itunes is asking me for my passcode and my screen doesn't work, the phones on though still ringing etc ... Please help
You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”.
