No "Open in 32-bit mode" check box in iTunes "Get info"

When I try to run iTunes the error message.  "To run iTunes in 64-bit mode, select the iTunes application in the Finder, choose the “Get Info” command in the File menu, and uncheck the “Open in 32-bit mode” checkbox in the iTunes Info window."
I have just updated to 10.9

After long phone call with apple support the thing that seemed to work was:
make a new user.
Copying the itunes app from the new user’s Application folder to the shared folder.
Then open up your old user account and copy it over the old itunes app.
hope it works for you too

    i am confused

    "You may need to open the Firefox Tools menu, then go the Add-ons manager Plugins panel and enable the Silverlight plugin. "
    that did it, many thanks

    Thank you for your response, Chris. But I'm afraid I have to disagree. There are native 64 bit versions of iTunes available for OSX and Windows.
    In a 64 Bit Windows environment native 64 Bit Applications install the DLL's in a directory called "Program Files" and a directory called "Program Files (x86)" (32 Bit applications only use the ladder).
    iTunes 9 is consistent with this behavior - and it identified itself to the system as a 64 bit application (meaning it's process appears without a "*32" tag on it).

  • In MountainLion System Preferences, "iCloud", "Mail, Contacts, and Calenders", and "Software Update" all want to open in 32 bit mode.  Security and Privacy won't open either.

    As stated in the header,
    iCloud
    Mail, Contacts, and Calenders
    Software Update
    all want to open in 32 bit mode.  Then when System Preferences quits and relaunches IN 32 bit mode, I get a dialog box saying "You can't open (pick one) preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac."  Moreover, Security and Privacy does the same thing only without the song and dance about quitting and reopening.
    Whaaaaat???!!!  I've never owned anything BUT an Intel Mac.
    The "open in 32 bit mode" is not, and has never been checked in "Get Info"
    I tried going to ~Library/Preferences and tossing all com.apple.system preferences files and rebooting.  No joy.
    It actually looks like some joker has included a bunch of PPC preference panes in my copy of MountainLion, except some of them are new to this OS.
    My hardware is a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro with4 gb of RAM, and a 500 gb hard drive, in three seperate partitions, running three Mac operating systems, one at a time.  I have SnowLeopard in a small partition because I still have a few things that don't run in Lion/ML.  Lion is still my main use machine in the largest partition, and when ML came out, I redistributed most of the unused space into a 3rd partition into which I did a clean install of ML in it's own partition so I could work through the growing pains without compromising my main computer.  I'm glad I did it that way, but I DO want to get ML working properly, and I can't do that if I can't authorize third party software.  Gatekeeper is currently in the way, and I can't get it to move.

    I dunno, that doesn't make any sense to me.
    I just shut down and rebooted into the SnowLeopard partition and took a peek at the preference panes.  There are only 3 that run in 32 bit only.  They are all 3rd party, and none of the prefpanes are non Intel.  Like I said, I have never owned a PPC machine.  Anyhow, SnowLeopard doesn't even have an iCloud prefpane, or a combined mail, contacts, and calenders prefpane, and the ML security and privacy prefpane is all new as well.  The software update prefpane is Intel and 64 bit in both SnowLeopard and Lion.
    As to the triple boot, unless I'm totally mistaken, what I have here is, in essence, 3 seperate descrete computers in one box.  All using the same hardware. but one at a time.  I wouldn't know how to get more than one running at the same time, without using a virtual machine, even if I wanted to.  (Which I don't)  I do sometimes transfer files from one to another using the shared folder, but other than that, they do not interact.  How could ML system preferences be trying to launch prefpanes from a totally different machine?

  • I set firefox to open in 32-bit mode but it doesn't.

    Netflix instant streaming still asks me to restart in 32-bit mode even tho I followed the instructions to ALWAYS start in 32-bit mode. I even reinstalled firefox. On Netflix when I click on the button to restart in 32-bit mode, it goes in a loop and just keeps asking for the 32-bit mode. This is a new problem, since in the past restarting in 32-bit mode always worked.

    This is a known problem with Netflix and Microsoft Silverlight right now. You can try the following:
    See if there is an update for Microsoft Silverlight.
    After checking for updates, Go to Finder, then Applications. Right click on Firefox, then click "Get Info". Then check the box that says "open in 32-bit mode". Restart your PC, and test again. Does it work now?

  • Logic keeps opening in 64 bit mode...

    I checked the "Open in 32-bit mode" box in the info, still Logic 9 keeps opening in 64 bit mode. Can anyone help?

    Okay.. Suggestions...
    1) Try running Logic Pro from inside the Applications folder and not from the dock....just in case the dock shortcut is having issues...
    2) If you bought LP9 from the App Store, try downloading and reinstalling the App from the purchased tab in the Mac App Store App.
    3) Download Batchmod from here....
    http://www.lagentesoft.com/batchmod/
    Run it and select your Logic Pro 9 application from it's file selector
    Now set up Batchmod as shown in the following screenshot... (leave the owner setting as it is..mine says nigel.. yours will say something else) and press apply
    Now try running in 64bit mode again....

  • Open in 32-bit mode finder flag doesn't always work on all applications

    When I set "open in 32-bit mode" flag in Finder (get info window) for Quartz Composer it is respected on normal application launching but if I restart (with updates, ex.) the computer it launches it in "normal" 64-bit mode. (Normal application launching would be clicking the icon)
    This doesn't happen with other applications (at least with one other; non Apple) which have the same flag setted, on the same circunstance.
    This non Apple application that works as expected already had the flag setted on installation (it didn't require manual setting, I mean).
    Thanks,

  • System preferences opens in 32-bit mode

    My system preferences pane opens in 34-bit mode. The 32-bit mode is not checked in the finder getinfo box, I'm not sure this has any negative effect on anything, although I wonder if some preference panes are assuming 32-bit mode as well. I tried some steps from previous posts (see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11191454&#11191454) i.e. trashed the ,plists, and checked the architecture using the console (it has 3 architectures, including 64-bit).
    Questions -
    (1) how can I get this to open in 64-bit
    (2) why is this happening?
    (3) how can I tell if any other applications are running in 32-bit?

    You may be able to repair this with The 10.6.3 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

  • 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.

    Frank -
    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.

  • A site I use every day told me today that it would only open in 32-bit mode.  I cannot change this in system preferencees as suggested.  Could anyone explain to me why suddenly, and how to change this? (MacBook Pro 10.6.8) Thanks!

    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 have a a Macbook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo which can run 64 bit, I've checked, Cor 2 Duo will run 64 bit, Yesterday I opened the Logic Pro V 9.0.2 info checked the 64 bit check box and Logic has been running in 64 bit, it displays it in the starup....I wanted to switch back and try it in 32 bit again, But when I open the Info pane now it does not diplay the 32 bit check box

  • Aperture 3: Missing "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox

    If you installed Aperture 3 from a disc (vs. installing and registering through the Trial version), then if you do a "Get Info" on the Aperture 3 application, you'll notice that the "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox is completely missing. To restore this missing 32-bit mode option, you need to start up your Mac in safe mode. To do that, hold down the shift key immediately after hearing the startup chime when you turn on the Mac. Here's Apple's help article on Safe Mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    Tip: In order for the shift key to be recognized during startup, the keyboard must be plugged directly into your Mac, NOT into a hub of any sort.
    HOWEVER.... if your boot volume is a RAID array, you cannot boot into Safe Mode. So, how do you restore the missing 32-bit mode option? Easy... Download the Trial version of Aperture 3 from Apple's site:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/
    After you get the E-mail and have downloaded the Trial version, move your current version of Aperture 3 out of the Applications folder (I just threw mine in the trash). Then run the installer for the Trial version and, when it's done, run the newly installed copy of Aperture 3. Surprise.... it won't even ask you if you want to register or act any different than the copy you moved out of the applications folder a few minutes before. All of your photos and settings will load as if nothing has changed. However, if you go to the new Aperture 3 copy and do a "Get Info", there is your missing "Open in 32-bit mode" checkbox!
    My assumption is that the Trial version is a slightly NEWER version of Aperture vs. what is on the discs you buy. After all, Apple had to get the discs into production at least several weeks (if not a month or more) before they announced the release of Aperture 3. It makes sense that the downloadable Trial version could be a little newer.
    Mark

    Curiously I used the Retail boxed version of Aperture 3 on two machines. On the first one, my quad core pro, the 32 bit option is missing. On the second machine, my macbook pro laptop, the 32 bit option is there. The quad pro runs like a dog on aperture and the laptop runs like greased lightning. I wonder if the missing 32 bit option means something went wrong with the initial installation? I can tell you for sure that the 32 bit option in my case had nothing to do with trial vs retail box versions.

  • 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
