Os from 32 to 64 bit

Per my reading speculation is that Snow Leopard may or may not force 62 bit installation, than the opposite side is 32 bit installation will be allowed.
My business is centered on my iMac, financial records, Aperture, CS3, along with various 3rd party software purchase over the 2.75 years. (games, maintenance, various additional utilities, calibration tool, 6000+ photographs and the list goes on).
First backups are maintained but if Snow Leopards forces 64 Bit, would, after install of Snow Leopard how would these backup files be handled?
Also older programs purchased would they even run should a 64 bit environment be installed?
Apple support tells me to be certain to have system back up and inferred some programs may not run...that being the case, perhaps, it sounds as though it may be best I sit tight before installing Snow Leopard.
Anyone have definitive answers regarding my concerns? (Essentially, that would be developers of Snow Leopard familiar with it's impact on a 32 bit environment) Also what has been Apple's history when going from 15 bit to 32 bit...any of the "old timers" of Apple/Mac?
Thanks for your time and consideration!

"64 bit" will not affect the integrity of data files.
It may (or may not) affect applications.
It should be backwards compatible, in that if a program is not written for 64 bit, it should still execute in 32 bit w/o issue. Or it may load, but some subroutine won't work.
Look at it this way: it would be stupid for Apple to say 'on Aug 28, any existing software (of which 95% or more is 32 bit) will cease to function.'
There will likely be some older software, both commercial and utility, that won't work, or will only partially work.
I can't provide a functional (or fixed) definition of older, b/c all program(mer)s are not equal; some write cleaner/better code than others.
Similar to windows transition from 95 to 2000/XP, for PITA programs, Apple may have added an option to force an application to run in 32 bit vs 64.
I've been using Macs since late '85, so I guess I qualify as an 'old-timer'
Apple has been very good with backwards compatibility.
For your mission critical software, I would check the manufacturer web site for 10.6 compatibility prior to updating to 10.6.

Print to Laserjet 1020 hosted by Windows 7 64 bit via network from Windows 7 32 bit

I am trying to print from Win 7 32 bit to a HP 1020 connected to a 64 bit Win 7. (the 64 bit is a new computer).
I have tried all the suggestions posted:
Downloaded updated 32 bit driver to the 32 bit PC.
I have also assigned the printer to a port on the computer.
I enabled on the 64 bit printing from a x86 computer.
Nothing helps.
When I print, the job gets stuck on the computer connected to the printer. When i release the spool, it then prints the page.
I was able to print when all the PCs were 32 bit (and XP before that).

Hi NDK
The host base driver is the same for both Win 7 32 & 64 bit operating systems.

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?
*Edited*
When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach. A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group. If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.
Click on Install a printer on a home network to get basic steps to install a printer in a network environment.
Click on HomeGroup: recommended links to get more information about Home Groups, including setting one up.

Can't print from IE 8 64 bit version only

I am running windows 7, 64 home premium. I have a HP c4599 all in one printer. I installed all the latest drivers/software from the HP site.
I have no problems printing from any application such as word, excel, opera, etc. I can even print from IE 8, the 32 bit version. However, if I attempt to print from IE8, the 64 bit version, when I select print and then printer and then hit print nothing happens. I don't get any error messages or anything. Nothing gets put in the queue.
Does anyone know what the issue is? Can you not print from IE 8 64 bit? It is strange that I have no issues printing from any other program.
Thanks!

Had the same problem but fixed by using other designated printer as default but printing to the same printer.
Could print a test page from new 8500 wireless printer and docs from Excel, Word etc but nothing from IE8 using the print drivers for Windows 7-64bit....decided to use old Officejet 7680 printer and it worked for all situations including IE8......compared both printer test pages and discovered the environment for the 8500 which didn't work was windows NT x86 and the environment for the 7680 that worked was windows x64.......interestingly the driver names were the same, the config file was the same and the help file was the same, etc but the data file was different too. The data file for th 8500 was hpw185g3.gpd and the data file for the 7680 was hp7600t.gpd. In other words, I select a 7680 printer software to print to the 8500 hardware.
Recommend you add a 7600 printer choice (or some other hp model) and compare printer test pages printed from the same printer .....hope it works.

Unable To Sync After Migrating From Win XP(32 bit) to Win 7(64bit)

I received a new PC, dual core platform, for XMAS. However, I received a Com 1 port failure when performing a Hot Synch to upload my PD(,M500) data to Palm Desktop on the new PC. Palm tech support said there is no USB driver available for the 64 bit OS. Does anyone have a 3rd party USB driver, or any other suggestions to allow me to do a Hot Synch on my new PC.
Thx,
Ed

Try to use Windows XP SP2/3 compatibility mode first, see if it works for you. And use Alchemy for the Audigy 2 ZS, FS2004 is making use of Directsound after all. Read the guide for using Alchemy here and here. Download Creative Alchemy here.

See if your in quick mask mode.

System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
Actions on source system:
a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
c) Switched logfiles
d) Performed offline backup
Actions on target system:
a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
Relevant input parameters used:
Database schema: SAPR3
Database character set: US7ASCII
d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
- copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
- copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
- copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
e) Resumed SAPINST.
David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
ORA-12012
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
ORA-06553"
Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
shutdown immediate
startup upgrade
spool utlirp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
spool off
Shutdown immediate
Startup
Spool utlrp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Spool off
exit
which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
Help, anyone?

> Trying to cheer me up, are you?
No
> It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
> And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
> One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.

IPOD 60GB will not transfer PHOTOs from my XP 64 bit computer

iPOD 60GB will not transfer PHOTOs from my XP 64 bit computer - I get read/write to iPOD hardrive error message. Everything esle is working (including iPOD update). Is it something I am doing wrong or is it not compatible with Window XP Pro 64 Bit just for photo transfer?
AMD 3500 Windows XP Pro Windows XP 64 bit

I Loaded the iPOD software into an older 32 bit computer running windows XP Home edition and it works fine. As I suspected, it is NOT compatible with windows XP 64 Bit Pro edition OS - Beware! When is Apple going to update their software to run iTUNES & iPOD using the latest 64 BIT computer proessors?

As mentioned in the note, *is it necessary for me to Migrating OLAP From 32 To 64 Bits like the steps mentioned in Migrating OLAP From 32 To 64 Bits [ID 352306.1].*
Or can i skip the OLAP migration.
Can anyone help me in this..
Waiting for your suggestions.Kindly reply.
Thanks in advance

Hi;

Hi claire.winteringham,
If you have a 64 bit machine then there shouldn't be any problem while installing any 32-bit software.

MDT 2012 to Migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit

I have used MDT for so long however only for client OS upgrade - XP to Windows 7/8.
We wish to use MDT to migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit. All servers are virtual on HyperV or VMWare - plan is to use USMT hardlink Migration.
Is this supported? Has anyone used this for server migration?
Regards, Vik Singh "If this thread answered your question, please click on "Mark as Answer"

Thanks Keith for your reply.
Even is USMT does not work, we are ok. SMIGdeploy will be helpful.
Basically, want MDT to run some scripts on the Windows 2003 server, post which install Windows 2012 and join it to the existing domain with the same computer name.
Then hydration kit to help with the installation of features etc. Also, we would like to take a complete backup to a WIM before migrating.
I am sure this is workable.

Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

What are these files you are trying to copy over?
If they are program specific and there is no program on a Mac to read them then you'll have to find either a Mac version of that program or one that does the same thing and can read those files.
The file extension should not change just because you connect a NTFS formatted drive to a Mac computer. A Word Document is still a .doc/.docx ad the same for all other office type programs. Music files with an extension of .MP3, or whatever, should read the same on both system. Same goes for all other files like images with a .JPG extension.
Yes I would network them.
I would not use Migration Assistant. There is nothing on your Windows PC that can be used on the Mac other than your personal data files. No programs or settings can be carried over from Windows to OS X.
