Can I install Mountain Lion 64-bit over top of 32-bit version installed by mistake. Machine is 24-inch mid 2007 iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (64-bit?)
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mountain Lion is a full 64-bit operating system. Why do you think Mountain Lion is 32-bit in your computer?
To check that you are definitely using a 64-bit operating system, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
uname -a
Then, tell us what you see at the end after RELEASE. If you see i386, you are running a 32-bit operating system. If you see x86_64, you are using a 64-bit operating system. Also, the processor of your Mac is 64-bit -
Need Working Drivers for Macbook 2,1 running Windows 8 (64-bit) using Boot Camp 5 (Mountain Lion)
So I found my old Macbook 2,1 on Leopard the other day and decided to make it my dedicated Windows computer. I wanted to run Windows 8 on it, so I figured out I needed Boot Camp 5. Then I realized Boot Camp 5 only runs on Mountain Lion, so I went though the process up updating it (had to use MLPostFactor since it's techincally unsupported on my mac.) After getting it updated to Mountain Lion, I went and used Boot Camp 5 to install Windows 8 64-bit. However, when I try to load any Boot Camp Driver Files (I've tried the drivers for BootCamp 3, 4, and 5) it says it is unsupported on my computer model. I suspect this is because of the fact that Windows 8 shouldn't be on my computer. Without these files, I can't right click, among other things, which is pretty important. Can anyone help me get these drivers loaded?
According to the Boot Camp System Requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
Your Macbook 2008 does not support Windows 8.

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

i have an iMac with mountain lion 10.8.3 with boot camp 5.0.2 .i installed windows 7 -64 bit with boot camp but the boot camp didn't install drivers for windows please guide me for trouble shooting .

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable. -
Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple
It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly. -
I purchased a Macbook Pro and it has the 64 bit version of Mountain Lion, I also downloaded Parallels desktop 7, and want to download Windows 7. I need to know if I can use the 32 bit version of wodnws 7 and the 64 bit version of Mountain Lion at the same time on the same computer.

Boot Camp - Lion / Mountain Lion latest video drivers Win 7 64-bit
I've been running Boot Camp on my late 2008 Mac Pro w/ OS X Lion and Windows 7 64-bit for some time now, no probs. Two years ago I installed the Apple version of the Nvidia GT 120 video card...has been working like a charm. Currently all latest OS updates are applied.
At issue: I'm trying to get a new plug-in for After Effects to install and it requires a more up-to-date video driver than the circa 2010 driver installed w/ Boot Camp (Leopard?). When I upgraded to Lion, I assumed all latest drivers would be installed in Boot Camp, and I've seen no info on whether Mountain Lion would provide more current video drivers...running 'Update Driver' (just to see what would happen) within Windows 7 yields "You're using the latest driver", which is not actually correct, but may be in the 'Boot Camp ecosystem'.
Are there any ways I can reliably update the video drivers? I know the retail/Nvidia latest is "296.10" from March, 2012...but likely that won't install or work properly in a Boot Camp setup (or am I wrong?).
Any info/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Wait for GTX 670 down the road then.
You had to have used BCA, downloaded and then run the setup - you can even just navigate to, find Nvidia driver folder and check the Details of that. Or why bother, the real driver is Nvidia anyway.

Also, most every Mac Pro owner has needed to manually download and install RealTek driver too for audio out the back ports.
Go to www.realtek.com though instead of using MediaFire - they have started causing a lot of pop-unders and other adware that I find disgusting and questionable, even if the site and service needs "ad dollars" popups were something users ran from and why we (try) using and turning off all those things they manage to find ways around. And the malware/adware and SQL-injection schemes are still with us. So watch for and personally avoid MediaFire - might be paranoid but then I consider it reasonable caution.

Is mountain lion can out put 10 bit colour? I nee to buy EIzo Monitor.
No. OS X cannot do it. If you want to drive an Eizo at its full 10 bits per channel you need to use a Windows PC.

How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply how to do it to Stefan Erix, Uppsala, Sweden
<Email Edited by Host>If you are a developer, or have a similar personality, there is an aftermarket EFI-64 "work-alike" program you can load into memory instead of 64-bit firmware. It is too complicated for regular folks.
You must already have upgraded your Memory and your graphics card to use this solution, and your Mac will not operate quite normally. Any problems with it are unsupported. -
Any sign of 10-bit graphics in Mountain Lion?
Since many users first started looking for support for widely available 10-bit per channel monitors, spurred on by Apple's adoption of DisplayPort, it seems we've had silence!
Is there ANY indication that Apple are going to implement support for "Deep Color"? Currently it seems that for video users, dedicated hardware can display the source, and in some cases a preview of 30-bit is available from Photoshop for dedicated, related hardware like the Matrox MX02 Mini. But many Macs have 30-bit capable cards installed. I have a Quadro 4000 For Mac installed, and Photoshop CS6, etc. - CUDA support, the lot, EXCEPT for 30-bit colour!
Right now I have to switch over to Windows to use this. That's crazy.
Third party solutions or direct from Apple. Anything?Apples silence is defening !
I too have been going around and around the internet trying to find out if Mountain Lion has 10 bit per channel support. Why Apple fails to make a statement either way is indicative that Mountain Lion is not 30 bit capable even though we have DisplayPort graphics cards, Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Gamut capable monitors.
I love Apple but have told a friend of mine to buy a Windows 7 computer until Apple catches up.
What a waste of money.
Come on Apple make a staement ! -
64 bit kernel cabable iMac won't boot in 64 bit kernel when prompted in Mountain Lion.
Hey guys. I am using a 24" iMac from the March 2009 line. I am aware that this Mac is capable of running in 64 bit kernel mode, but the default is 32. When Snow Leopard hit, I was able to boot in 64bit mode with the appropriate prompt in the terminal and also via the 6 and 4 keys at startup. I could also verify this in the system profiler under software.
In mountain Lion, this porion of the profil is missing under software and I am unable to verify that it is running in 64 bit kernel. I used a 3rd party app to determine the kernel and it still says that I am runnin in 32bit kernel. Now either I am, by default running 64bit and the ap is wrong, or there is something that I am missing here. I am attaching a photo of the app I used. Thanks for any help any of you may provide.I'd doubt the 3rd party App.
There is no 32 bit kernel in Mountain Lion.
You can check in Activity Monitor. -
Mountain Lion won't start with 32-bit kernal
I'm trying to update my Sony NEX-5 to version 5, and every time I click the installer, it says that it runs on a 32-bit kernal.
I tried starting up in 32 bit by holding the 3 and 2 keys, but this doesn't seem to do anything. I remember when I was on Snow Leopard, I could update my NEX-5 without any 32-bit startup necessary. Looking at some forums, even when people were on Snow Leopard they needed to startup in 32-bit...but I didn't.
Why doesn't it start up in 32-bit mode?
Why doesn't the application work on 64-bit? (Chrome is 32-bit...that still works on 64-bit)
Why has Sony even done this to us?
Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on the 2012 21.5" iMac.Yes, the 64-bit kernel is not supported for downloading the firmware update. You may use your neighbors or friends computer to download the firmware. You can also send the Camera to our service center for getting the firmware installed:
Haha! Very funny Sony!
Well, I have a Canon 650D now anyway, and the update isn't a big deal. Just would be nice to update it. -
