Mac 32 or 64 bits

Hi,
I see on windows we can choose 32 or 64 bits but nor for mac, why?

Because Mac is 64-bit only.  That'll run on almost any Intel machine, except for the original Core Solo/Core Duo machines.  Core 2 Duo's fine.

    I downloaded Photoshop, but cannot launch it because my Mac is not 64 bit. If I buy a new Mac, will I be able to download Photoshop again?

    Yes of course.
    You can download and install it as many times as you like on as many computers as you wish.
    But you're always restricted to a maximum of two activations at any time.

  • Mac OSX Leopard 64-bit!!??

    Hello all, as you probably already know, the new Mac OSX is 64-bit!!
    Is there going to be a 32-bit version?
    I no many programs that will not work on the 64-bit version and the company´s wont bring out a update for it.
    Autodesks 3ds MAX and MAYA will no longer work!!
    Maxon´s Cinema 4D will also not work!!
    This needs to be sorted out either by apple or Autodesk/Maxon!
    Thanks

    Why would 32 bits applications wouldn't work on Leopard ?
    We're not in Microsoft !
    The fact is that Leopard is developed to be fully compatible with 32 bit applications, the proof to this is that when you look in architecture panel in a Xcode project... You know where you choose between Intel or PPC or both architectures ? Well those two options disappeared in Leopard version, now you have the choice between 32 or 64 bit architecture or both !
    I don't think Apple would enable the choice between 32 and 64 architecture if the 32 bits was incompatible !
    Steve Jobs even presented a comparison of 32 bit and 64 bit application at WWDC Keynote.
    I think Leopard is even able to work on 32 bit processors !
    So, no worries about compatibility !

  • Can PSE8 for mac convert an 8 bit image to 16 bit?

    can Photoshop Elements 8 for mac convert an 8 bit image to 16 bit?
    I use Photomatix Pro and when I am working with a single image in Photomatix Pro, it has to be 16 bit.

    Yes, you can. These are the steps when using the elements editor.
    Depending on the file format:
    1. If this file is from a camera raw file, simply open the original
        raw file and at the bottom of the camera raw dialog choose 16 bits.
        This would open the file in pse editor as a 16 bit file.
        Then save as a tif file with no compression.
    2. If the file is a jpg or tif file, in the pse editor select: File>Open As>Camera Raw.
        This will open the file in the camera raw dialog. Then select 16 bit from the menu
        at the bottom of the camera raw dialog. After the file opens in pse editor, in 16 bits,
        save as a tif with no compression.
    3. If the file is a psd file with no layers, then step 2 will work. If the psd file has layers,
        open the the file in pse editor and resave the file using maximize compatibilty.
        This will allow the psd file to have both layers and open in the camera raw dialog as
        in step 2. When you open the file in the pse editor, it will just be a single layer and then
        just save as a tif file with no compression.
    Hope this helps.

  • PSE 12 on Mac OS in 32 bit mode

    Can PSE 12 on Mac OS X Mavericks be changed to run in 32 bit mode?  My Epson v550 scanner needs it to launch in PSE 12.

    No, unfortunately. It's a problem for several scanners.

  • ITunes on Mac & Windows 7 (6 bit)

    I can never get to have my iTunes correct.
    I activated my iPhone 5 on my Macbook.. but all my music is on my Windows 7 (64 bit)
    How I can make use of my iTunes with BOTH computers?.. On my Mac I usualy add videos, PDF documents and picttures to my iPhone 5... And I manually add music to my iPhone.

    The way I solved this was to use the same iTunes library file on a shared Windows drive. That library contains everything I want to sync to the phone.
    Since the actual paths on both systems are slightly different, the library file is rebuilt everytime you switch from one OS to the other, SO that usually only becomes a problem by not using the default Library location for the newer versions. Otherwise you may need to become handy with an XML editor from time to time. Or keep a good backup of your library file...

  • Unable to connect or discover 8610 all-in-one / MAC & Win 7 64 bit

    My 8610 all-in-one previous has been working fine as a wireless network printer for both my MAC OS 10 and laptop Win 7 64 bit.     Suddenly the 8610 will not print from either device.   I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for both from HP.   I restarted all devices several times and finally reconnected the 8610 to the wireless network using the WPS button on the cable modem. The 8610 is showing a connection to the wireless network on it's display and the computers are both able to access the internet. Still no joy.   Not sure what to do next.     Suggestions ? ? ?

  • I had a MacBook Pro and just bought a MacBook Air. When I tried to transfer my photos and music to my new Mac only a little bit fits on the Air. Can anyone help me understand why?

    I am trying to transfer all my photos, documents, and music from my previous Mac to my new one and this new one can barely hold any of the files. Why would that be happening? What can I do to have all of my documents avalaible to me?

    what is the storage capacity of the Air and how much is available, and what is the size of all the items your are trying to transfer?

  • CS3 Mac: No Uncompressed 10-bit codec available

    We have a roomful of machines here with the CS3 Suite on them, as well as blackmagic codecs installed, and Final Cut Studio. The Blackmagic codecs are available to us, but Apple Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 does not appear available to us to render with in After Effects. This is a huge problem because our clients ask for this codec (not blackmagic or aja, specifically) as as delivery spec. We've got other problems dealing with this codec in the Apple suite of tools as well, but that's a separate discussion for Apple forums. This has been driving us mad for weeks now!
    Any ideas?

    Mylenium - I bet you can understand my frustration after not knowing what is going on for a long time now
    Adolfo! Removing Blackmagic and AJA from that folder allowed UC10B to show up!
    However, I notice a strange anomaly - If I have neither AJA or BMD in the folder, I get "Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2" available to me. If I put AJA *back*, I get "Apple FCP Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2". How bizarre? How do I know which setup to use?
    I guess in theory you have solved my problem. Though now it presents a new one - How to get blackmagic *and* apple FCP available at the *same time*. I think I will have to ask Blackmagic support about it though.
    Thank you!! and to Mylenium too!

  • Installing to 64-bit Mac Mini with 32-bit EFI

    It's the Macmini 2,1/A1176 (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/m … specs.html).
    Is this possible? Installs fine from an ArchBang live CD built without UEFI, just can't get it to boot. I only get the blinking question-mark-folder icon. I've tried:
    - rEFInd with 32 and 64-bit binaries (copied to /boot/efi/boot.efi)
    - gummiboot installed normally via the guide
    - GRUB2 using both i386 and x64 targets
    I know there's got to be something special I'm missing, right?

    Sorry for the confusion. I was booting to the ArchBang live CD in attempts to get my installed Arch system (201505) booting properly -- just a little easier since I can use Firefox to read some documentation.
    Anyway, I'm totally stuck at getting the bootloader working. The UEFI wiki article clearly states that the bitness of the EFI and system must match to get UEFI variable support, and to presumably "bless" the proper EFI binary. So I can't use UEFI to boot, that's fine, the Arch install disc booted in BIOS mode anyway. I've tried both MBR and GPT partitioning, both just result in the blinking folder.

  • Plugin is not working with Mac 10.6 {64 bit intel machine}

    Hi,
    I have tried to extend the AutomationFilter sample plugin. Earlier there was problem that the plugin name was not showing. Now it is showing, but when I click on it I am getting the following error
    "Could not complete the AutomationFilter command because there is not enough memory (RAM)."
    I have gone through the documentation which describes the plugin setting for 64 bit mode. And made the following changes in the pipl resource.
    Any suggestion for fixing this problem will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    I would like to add the some more to the prb..
    when i am building the sample with Base SDK +i386 and debugging the sample from xcode then it's being load and working fine.The reason what i found is while debugging the photoshop is loaded in x32 bit which comes on the splash screen. But when I am directly running the photoshop application then the plugin did not gets loaded also the photoshop splash screen show it is loading in x64 mode.
    In all other  cases as
         Base SDk + x86-64
         10.5 /10.6 SDK + x86-64
    when I am running the application I am getting error as not enough RAM for executing this command.
    What I can do this fix it.
    Thanks!

  • I need to open FireFox 12.0 (on Mac Lion) in 32-bit mode. That option to restart in 32-bit doesn't exist under "Get Info" or anywhere. Your help please, Thanks!

    The option to start in 32-bit mode is available in Safari. But Firefox 12.0 doesn't seem to even have it. Is it possible to upload an earlier version of Firefox? I need to be able to do this, the inability is actually interfering with work that I do to earn my living, so time is of the essence. Thanks for any help/guidance the community can offer.

    Thank you, but that option doesn't seem to exist. I have attached a screen shot of the Get Info window, and I have been unable to locate the "Restart in 32-bit" option on it. It used to be right above the "locked" checkbox.
