MacBook1,1(32-bit) to MacBookPro5,1(64-bit) 10.6.8 system slow starting

I've received a "hand-me-down" MacBook Pro (2008; 5,1; 64-bit mode) into which I installed a new and bigger drive. I used SuperDuper! to copy the Snow Leopard backup from my MacBook (2006; 1,1; 32-bit) to that drive and then partitioned for Windows XP Pro using Boot Camp Assistant (3.0.4,) then "restored" XP using Winclone 2.2. Two questions:
1. Do I have to re-install Snow Leopard to get the 64-bit capabilities? The machine is very slow to start up. When I turn on "verbose" it says 64-bit mode, but when I look in System Profiler I see "No" next to 64-bit Kernel and Extensions in Software. I also see appx. 50 "No" entries under the 64-Bit (Intel) header in Frameworks; Kernel, ManagedClient, MediaBrowser, and SyndicationUI show blanks.
2. The Windows XP system seems to have lost its drivers in the transfer. I can't even get it on the Internet. It wants drivers for Video Controller (VGA compatible), SM Bus Controller, Coprocessor, and of course Ethernet Controller. How would I go about re-installing them--or perhaps new ones? When I ran the Boot Camp Assistant it offered to download the drivers but when I said yes it came back and told me they were no longer available. Supposedly they are on my SL install disc (which thankfully I have) but that's all I know. The driver discs I burned in the past (for & with the other machine) are in storage a long way away alongside my Windows XP Pro install disc (which I hope I won't need.)
I would be grateful for any help and/or thoughts!

Yes, it's me (marikavs)--Apple's been messing with my head (and my user id.)
So I used the Snow Leopard disc to reinstall. Whoop-dee-doo. First of all it didn't even offer me an archive and install. I thought that wasn't supposed to go away until Lion. No matter. By the time it was done all my personal folders and aliases were still there. The machine is slower than ever! Both on startup and on launching anything. I looked in the System Profiler and don't see any changes. That doesn't mean there aren't any; I didn't look everywhere. But the "64-bit Kernel and Extensions" still says "No" and the Frameworks (in Software) still has plenty of No's under the 64-bit header and the four blanks are still there. I'm baffled, and it seems it was all a big waste of time. Does anybody know what that was all about?
As for the Windows drivers, not having a disc available to do a reinstall there, I tried the SL disc--in Windows! Lo and behold, the content is very different from what shows when you look at it in OS X. It does have a way for you to "Repair" the drivers. Only, it doesn't work. Sigh. I tried it twice. Still no Internet. When I try to bring up the Network Wizard nothing happens. Does anybody have ideas on what I can try now?
And yes, I have verified (with an Apple employee) that the Boot Camp Assistant does indeed require that you start over from scratch. You can't just only delete the existing Boot Camp partition and create a new one.

Migration from Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 Server

I am working on migrating Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 from Old server to new server. We have db around 500 GB and 3 schemas. I installed Oracle 10G on new server, created tablespaces, schema's blah blah and now doing export and import at schema level from old server to new server.
Import is taking more than 4 to 5 hours on new server. My manager is saying, window time is bit longer and he wants me to try possiblities to make this process faster. Can some one help me on this, to use the best possible method to complete this process faster?
Will below step work, if I try?
If I install, oracle 9i and 10g both on new server in different home directories and take the hot backup from old machine and restore on new machine in 9i home directory and use the upgrade configuration assistant from 10g and do the upgrade? Pls advice.
Thanks in advance,
Hari babu

It looks good.
I have one question in below steps:
To migrate an Oracle9i or older database to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
1 Perform steps 1 - 11 in "Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database".
2 Shut down the database on the 64-bit computer:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
3 Start the database migration:
SQL> STARTUP MIGRATE;
4 Migrate the database as described in Chapter 3, "Upgrading a Database to the New Oracle Database 10g Release" in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
In step 4, it says, migrate database as described in chapter 3. In chapter 3, it says, to do the upgrade the process using dbca or manually. Pls confirm whether do the upgrade process after issuing startup migrate or not.
Thanks in advance.

My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box no go

My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

How can I run a 32 bit application on a 64 bit machine?

A program I use: Easyeclipse seems to only support 32 bit. Since I have a 64 bit system, I can't run it. Is there any way I can run a 32 bit executable on a 64 bit system?

Windows 7 64 bit, Access 2010 32 bit, Oracle 10G client 32 bit, Oracle database 10.2.0.4 64 bit

I am trying to connect to an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database from Windows 7 OS - 64 bit using
Access 2010 32 bit and Oracle 32 bit client version 10.2.0.1 installed on PC.
My user requires a 64 bit Windows 7 OS for other needs.
Oracle ODBC driver is 32 bit from Oracle 32 bit client.
In Windows 7 OS 64 bit, ODBC DSN setup software is located in:
C:\Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe for 64 bit drivers - all DSN types setup and
C:\Windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe for 32 bit drivers - USER DSN setup
When I run the ODBC Data Source Administrator, I see the Version number is 6.1.7601.17632
I setup a User DSN using the 32 bit odbcad32.exe with a 32 bit ODBC driver.
Our Oracle TNSnames.ora file has our standard entries which have worked for years
(Windows 7 OS 32 bit and everything 32 bit has connected for years too)
So when I configure an ODBC User DSN and leave all the default settings and press the TEST Connection button, it says it works.
But when I open the existng Access 2010 database (which does connect to Oracle in a Windows 7 32 bit PC environment),
1. I go to Access External Data ribbon tab / Link to the Data Source by creating a linked table / press OK
2. I select the Machine Data source = to the USER DSN name / press OK
3. The Oracle ODBC Driver Connect Window opens with Service Name = USER DSN and User Name and it wants a Password
4. I enter the correct password and I get the following error message:
ODBC call failed
[Oracle][ODBC]{Ora]ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified
(#12154) [Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed IM006 0
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed (#0)
I have tried a quite a number of fixes:
I have gone into the PC registry and cleaned out most or all off the Oracle client keys and
reinstalled the Oracle 32 bit 10g client. It didn't fix the error.
I read about the Oracle instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.4.zip with ODBC modules but I have Windows 7 64 bit.
Anyone experienced a problem like this and have a fix?

Thank you for your reply.
I did not get to try it because after I entered my question, I did a lot more internet Googling.
I found this small comment:
“There's a known issue where you get a 12154 error message running 32 bit software on a 64 bit OS using client 10201, and
It should be resolved by patching the client to 10204, which you do by applying the 10204 database patch to it.”
I searched around for the 10.2.0.4 patch for 10.2.0.1 Oracle 32 bit client.
When I contacted my Oracle DBA to ask if he had that patch, he said that I should try the 11g 32 bit client on the Win 7 64 bit PC.
We have a 10.2.0.4 Oracle database but he said the 11g client should work fine.
I tried it and it solved the problem!
With so many settings, configurations and permissions involved in ODBC, I am inclined to think that I missed a setting but
it was a bug in the 32 bit client 10.2.0.1.
Solved.

I have 32 bit iTunes on a 64 bit Windows. Can't install 64 bit because the 32 bit will not uninstall (or run).

I have 32 bit itunes on a 64 bit Windows. Can't install 64 bit itunes because the 32 bit willl not uninstall.

Excellent news.
That one can sometimes hit people if they've used the PC Mover utility to transfer a 32-bit iTunes program onto a 64-bit system. Similar issues can arise if a 32-bit Bonjour or 32-bit AMDS get transfered across to a 64-bit system by PC Mover, so it might pay to keep a weather eye out for that (if you've used PC Mover).

JRE v6 and v7 no longer work in my updated 64-bit W7 HPE's 32-bit IE8.

Hello.
Since last week, my JRE/Java v6u34 stopped working. My 32-bit IE8 kept asking me to run it in protected mode or not which was weird since it never did that before: http://i.imgur.com/Tubsl.gif ... Then, Java didn't work. So I restarted IE8 and retried again to allow it. Java applets still didn't show up (shows an empty box with X icon, JRE console doesn't even run/load). I tried my 64-bit JRE v6u35 in 64-bit IE8, no problems with Java. I tried my 32-bit Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.12 web browser and no problems with its Java. Why is my 32-bit IE8 having problems all the sudden?
I thought maybe my JRE installation was broken. So, I uninstalled it and reinstalled with the latest v6 (u35). Same results. I tried the very latest v7u7. Same problem. I tried uninstalling Java again, running JavaRa v1.16-23-8-12 (didn't find anything to remove), resetting IE8 options and clearing its caches), etc. I also tried disabling protected mode to see if it makes any differences when reinstalling and accessing a Java applet. Nope! I looked at my IE8's addons list and noticed jp2ssv.dll was still listed like:
Name: Java(tm) Plug-In 2 SSV Helper
Publisher: Control name is not available
Type: Browser Helper Object
Version: Not available
File date:
Date last accessed: Today, September 04, 2012, 1 minute ago
Class ID: {DBC80044-A445-435B-BC74-9C25C1C588A9}
Use count: 2030
Block count: 9
File: jp2ssv.dll
Folder: C:\winstuff\JRE6\bin
http://i.imgur.com/wvKdn.gif for a screen shot/capture.
I searched jp2ssv.dll on my computer, and it was not found. Even my uninstalled JRE removed its JRE location/folder. How do I remove this one from 32-bit IE8's addons list? Maybe this is the problem? What's going on?
Thank you in advance. :)

I think you are having the same issue I've been working on. I just posted about this here:
Newer JREs are not registering old JRE ClassIDs for all users
You can try the following.
* On a working user, export the key HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID. Then import it for a failing user. Its not a real pretty solution. You should be able to narrow down exactly which subkey is needed by using Process Monitor or looking at your application HTML code where the JRE object is being called.
* If you can change the code, look for the OBJECT or EMBED tags and look what CLSID they are referencing. Change that CLSID to "8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" allow it to work with the latest Oracle/Sun JRE installed.

Essbase Excel Addin on 64 Bit Windows 7 and 64 bit Office 2010

Hi Everyone,
I have installed 11.1.2.2 on server with Essbase and Shared Services.
Now, on the client I have 64 bit Windows 7 and 64 bit office 2010.
I tried installing Excel Addin client only (without Essbase client) and restarted machine after install.
After install Addin didnt come up automatically and i tried to manually set the add-in, I'm getting an error "This is not a valid add-in"
Is it because i am using 64 bit of office and have to go back to 32 bit.
Isnt 64 bit supported for latest 11.1.2.2 Essbase ?
Any ideas or experience in this regard will be helpful to me as our company is going for Windows 7 and Office 2010 across the business users and if 64 bit Office is not supported or has issues i would have to suggest them to go with 32 bit Office 2010.
Thank you.

for 64 bit i guess its not avaiable for 2010 excel
but you can download 9 version or 11.1.1.3 with patch below is link.. its just a client ~~~

Installing SAP GUI on 64-bit Windows 7 with 32-bit Office

Until about 6 months ago, 64-bit systems in my environment had 64-bit Office 2010 installed. That caused some problems with other applications, so I made the decision that, going forward, ALL systems would have 32-bit Office 2010 installed.
Apparently, it's taken 6 months, but I finally have a need to Install SAP GUI 7.20 Patch 6 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system with 32-bit Office 2010. It turns out, that doesn't work.
I receive this:
Not all package prerequisits [sic] are fulfilled
Outlook Client extension for the synchronization of SAPoffice calendar with Outlook calendar... No compatible version of Microsoft Outlook found.
I am assuming that since this same installation works on my 32-bit systems, that it is upset about my architecturally-mismatched Office.
Am I correct about the source for this problem? If so, is there anything I can do to make the GUI work in this environment?

Hi John,
Actually, there is no mismatch in having 32-bit Office installed on 64-bit Windows. In fact, this is probably the preferred environment. SAPGUI in general is much happier with 32-bit Office, especially older patches (by the way, 7.20 is no longer in support -- you should upgrade to 7.30).
The errors you're receiving are most probably related to lingering 64-bit components of Office on your workstation. We had the same situation in my office a while back, when we first started rolling out 64-bit Windows to a few users, and the PC techs mistakenly thought that meant they had to install 64-bit Office. That caused lots of problems, since 64-bit Office is incompatible with many things, not just SAPGUI, as you found. Correcting the error by simply reinstalling Office 32-bit resulting in workstations with some 64-bit and some 32-bit components, and that just made things worse. Systems where 32-bit Office was installed from the beginning (on 64-bit OS) had no problems at all.
So, what you're probably going to need to do is to uninstall all Office components (including Outlook, Visio, anything like that, not just Word and Excel), and also uninstall your SAPGUI, then reinstall 32-bit Office (with Outlook) from scratch, then reinstall your SAPGUI. This will probably clear up your problem.

Matt

How to use Internet Explorer 11 64 bits rather than the 32 bit version, on Windows 7 familial premium 64 bit

Hi,
my system : up to date computer, W7 familial premium (64 bit), Internet Explorer 11 (32 bit)
I use this computer on the web to visit just one website, always the same and several hours a day ; this site advocate the use of Internet Explorer 64 bits for more efficiency.
How can I get to install, or switch to the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, as presently when I try to install a downloaded version, I get as an answer something like "installation not possible because the more up to date version of Internet Explorer
is already installed on your computer". Thanks

Hi,
On a 64-bit version of Windows, please click system drive, there should be a “Program Files” and “program Files x86”,
the "Program Files" folder is for 64-bit programs and the "Program Files (x86)" folder is for 32-bit programs, you will find IE11 64 bit has already installed in you system in “Program Files”>”Internet explorer”.

VoiceOver with iTunes 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit problem

Is anyone using VoiceOver with iTunes 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit?
We cannot get it to work. I have followed Apple's guideance and uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and the .dll has been moved from the root directory of C: to the iTunes program directory.
I took the problem to the Genius Bar at a major Apple Store but they dont support Windows 7 or 64 bit.

I have again removed, rebooted then reinstalled iTunes and Voiceover is still not working with Windows 7 64 bit. I also am unable to find on any forum anyone who has it working.

Hi Alex, we are also using tuxedo 32-bit on Solaris 64-bit operating
system. There
is no problem doing this as your solaris version supports both 32 bit
and 64 bit
programs. The things to watch out for are when you are building a tuxedo
application,
you have to make sure that all the libraries you link with are also 32
bit libraries,
including oracle. We ran into build problems when some libraries were
32 bit
and others were 64 bit.
There's good information about 32bit v 64bit on solaris at the following
web site...
http://docs.sun.com/?p=/doc/806-6543/6jffrdmee&a=view
I personally would use 64bit if possible, but it's no big deal to build
32 bit
applications because my tuxedo application does not need a 64bit address
space
and is not computationally heavy. Most of the CPU takes place in the
database,
which in our case is Oracle, and which happens to be 64bit anyway. So
it's not
a bad thing to build a 32 bit tuxedo application that runs on a 64 bit
operating
system, for most types of tuxedo applications.

If the platform list shows that a 32-bit build is certified on a 64bit

If you want an actual 64 bit build, it is because you want the big
address space, longer longs in FML, and everything else you get from
64
bits.
If you want to have an application span Solaris and Digital UNIX, which
is always 64 bit, you might want both to be 64 bits so that you do
not
lose any data in the conversion.
On HP, you can't link 32-bit Tuxedo with another product that is 64-bit
(Oracle for example). You might need a 64 bit Tuxedo in order to work
with other products.

However the Installation Guide for Database Client adds:

Deploying CF 9 Ent 64-bit on Windows 2008 64-bit

Hello,
I'm getting ready to migrate 20 or so websites from CFMX 6.1 Ent (Win 2k3) to CF 9 Ent 64-bit on Windows 2008 64-bit and was wondering if it made sense to tweak the jvm.config file. I looked around on Adobe's site for any guidance regarding "best practices" for JVM tuning under CF 9 but couldn't find anything. Also, most of the articles I've come across related to CF and modifying the JVM seem pretty dated. In any event, the server will have 32 GB of RAM and running a single processor, Quad Core Intel Xeon L5520 (Win 2008 Std 64-bit).
Can someone provide some insight regarding whether it's needed or even recommended to modify the JVM config?
TIA

Hello
I did a talk recently on JVM.CONFIG related matters at the CFMEETUP site. There is a recording you can view:
http://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/pages/Recordings%20of%20the%20ColdFusion%20Meetup-2 010
Like the others mention, it is an area that is hard to say do this or that in a quick forum entry. The “out of the box settings” may well suit your needs - so if it is not broken why touch it.
On Win64 and CF9 64 I find adjustments to the maximum heap setting and MaxPerm settings are good, having said that the minimum settings are also important. You need to be aware of what is in the “OUT logs” and how the JVM is working to know if changes are useful or indeed needed.
HTH, Carl.

Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit on the same server

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 server 64-bit with Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit installed on different directories (D:\Oracle and D:\Oracle32)
Is it possible to define for certain applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 64-bit Oracle Client
and for other applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 32-bit Oracle Client
Once I installed the Oracle Client 32-bit (Oracle Client 64-bit version was already installed) and restarted the server I performed a TNSPING and it defaulted to the Oracle Client 32-bit installation path
Thanks,
Barry

Hello,
When you install a new client on a server, it will update the PATH variable, and add the ORACLE_HOME\bin path to it, at the first place. That explains why the tnsping use the last installed ORACLE_HOME.
What you can do if you want only to change the default path to the tnsnames is to set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to the path where the tnsnames you want to use is located. You can modify this variable in your application if you want to use another tnsnames.
If you want switch from 32 bits to 64 bits client, then you have to modify the PATH variable.
Hope this will help.
Best regards,
Sylvie
