PDFs won't download in 64 bit mode

When I go to a site and click to download a PDF, all I get is a black screen when Safari is in 64 bit mode. If I switch to 32 bit, the PDF opens up just as it always did and I can then save it or print it. What gives?

Greetings,
Two things stand out here: you're not downloading a PDF file, even though that's what the subject of your post states. You're trying to view a PDF file in Safari, which is completely different.
Adobe Reader (and probably Adobe Acrobat Professional, too) are not 64-bit applications, so they will only run in 32-bit mode. Thus, the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin won't work while you're running in 64-bit mode. You don't need either to view PDF files in Safari; it's perfectly capable of displaying them on it's own, so if you've installed it, you need to get rid of it. Unless you're doing some processor-intensive tasks such as editing or rendering high-quality video, there's no reason to be running in 64-bit mode; you're not gaining any performance benefit, and none of your InputManagers or plugins will work.

  • Aperture 3.0.1 won't open in 64-bit mode; only opens in 32-bit

    I downloaded the trial version and then purchased the serial for A3. I installed the plug-in Aperture2gmail and that seems to be where my trouble began. I realized I had to open A3 in 32-bit mode for A2gmail to work. When I un-selected 32-bit mode, I could not open A3. My error message is below:

    What is the best way to resolve this? Reinstall A3? I have already removed the A2gmail plug-in. Suggestions?

    Where does Logic Freeze? Can you see any text in the starup splash screen? Also, how long have you actually waited when Logic appeared 'frozen'?
    A program becoming unresponsive isn't necessarily frozen, it may well come "unstuck" after a while - it may be looking for resources, or performing checks - allof hese processes can take some time sometimes.
    You should perhaps start up Logic just before taking the dog for a walk or something. If it still hangs when you return, you can reasonably conclude that it is frozen.
    Also, what is the Startup Action Logic is set to? Changing it to Do Nothing is a good first step.

  • PDFs won't download

    Since installing Tiger and hence Safari 2 I can't download PDF files from some sites. Instead I get a box with the message:
    "The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
    The same PDF files download OK in IE 5.2. Anyone know what's wrong?
    Thanks, Dicty
    PS PDFs that do download open in the browser window even though I've done the clicked off PDFs in the Quicktime MIME settings.

    Hi Toni, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Yes, that indicate a broken download for some reason.
    Make sure you have plenty of free space.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • Safari won't run in 32-bit mode?

    Hi, until yesterday I was able to run Safari in 32-bit and some applications/utilities such as LiveDictionary and WebSnapper could run in this manner. Suddenly this morning the above mentioned applications don't work any more and I think the problem is that Safari for some strange reason is not running any longer in 32-bit mode. Its setting in 32-bit mode is OK. I have toggled on/off the 32-bit setting. I have reset safari. I have re-installed Livedicionary and WebSnapper, but they don't work any more. Any idea about this issue? Is there any tools to verify run-time in which mode Safari is running?
    Thank you.

    G'day Enzo - and welcome to the forums!
    To confirm the mode of an application, simply open Activity Monitor. It will tell you what you need to know.
    Personally, I am running Safari in 64bit mode... and waiting for the developers of 1Password to finally release the updated version that is fully compatible. The benefits of running in 64 bit mode are many!
    Cheers,
    Rodney

  • Logic X won't start in 32-bit mode

    I just clean installed Mavericks, and I need to launch Logic in 32-bit just once to scan for all my audio units (yes, even though they are 64-bit, this is what I had to do last time), but when I 'get info' on Logic, the check box to launch it in 32-bit mode isn't there! It's there on Safari, so I know it's possible in Mavericks. Help!

    ...and in addition..
    Logic Pro X does not support 32bit AU Plugins....
    If you wish to use older plugins that haven't been updated to 64bit AU versions... in Logic Pro X, then 32 Lives is probably your best option....

  • Pdf won't download fully

    I have a web site that I manage for some clients. They
    periodically send me pdfs to upload. Recently there has been one
    pdf that they've sent me a couple of times. When I upload this and
    link to it from a page and then click the link, it will only
    download .5 to .75% of the way and I often get errors about not
    being able to open certain fonts. None of the other pdfs of theirs
    do this and I'm not sure what's going on. Does anyone know what
    would cause this? Thanks.

    hello vtxr1300,
    Thanks for the posting!
    Are you uploading these pdf files into an acrobat.com
    account? or somewhere else?
    Some pdf files can contain errors internally, and may
    therefore have trouble making it through out virus scan.
    Since it's file specific, you would want open and look
    through the file, and see if visible, what elements may be
    different in the file.
    Or potentially have the originator of the file, resave it,
    and resend it to you.
    Give that a try, and get back to us when you have more
    information!
    Thanks!
    Pete

  • PDF won't download

    I just created a fillable form with FormsCentral but when I click "Download as PDF" it will say "Creating PDF" then nothing happens. Why can't I download the PDF form?

    If you don't see the distribute tab it likely means you are using the standalone Formscentral Air application. If you click the Collect Responses Online tab in this view you will be prompted to sign into your Formscentral online account. (In your case a free account.) from there you should see the distribute tab as I described above. The reason you don't see your forms files on your system is they are store in an internal database on your computer for local forms or on our servers for forms you move online. If you simply want to design forms for local use and then SaveAs PDF this is supported in Acrobat XI but not Acrobat X.

  • Adobe PDF won't download

    I got an email from the HR dept of my new job and it includes a PDF attachment for me to download. When I try to download it just has a pop up that says to download the latest version of Adobe. When I do that, it still just keep saying the same thing. I took it to an Apple store and the "genius" said that I may just have to get a cheap PC for these type of attachments. Really? $1200 computer and it can't download a certain type of attachment?
    I'm real irritated as I would rather not have to buy a new PC laptop. Can anyone help? My macbook is 13 inches, from late 2008, aluminum, running 10.8.2.

    Fixed it. I just made sure to set Adobe Reader as my default PDF viewer. It opened it fine. This was an Adobe portfolio file and it is a huge relief that I figured this out as I don't have to go buy some cheap PC just for these files. As a note, the Apple "genius" should be fired (or educated). If I had already bought a PC I'd be very upset to learn that I didn't have to buy one after all.

  • PDF won't download to iBooks

    A couple of friends of mine are having problems downloading PDF files to iBooks. The PDF flashes for a nano second then disappears. The only way it will work, is they have to close the application every time they want to download a PDF file to iBooks. What's weird, I'm not having the issue and we download similar types and number of reports etc.  I'm wondering if there is an app they have that I don't that takes priority over iBooks. Also, I was hoping the iOS6 would fix the issue but it doesn't.
    Does anyone have a best practice or solution to avoid this issue?

    I would suggest that they start with the basics.
    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or ... Delete the app and reinstall it. Tap and hold down in the app icon until it wiggles then tap the X to delete iBooks. Download the app again.

  • Which iTunes plug-ins won't work in 64 bit mode?

    When I open iTunes 11.0.2 on mi iMac (recent upgrade to Mountain Lion) I get the following message:
    I have gone to the info window of iTunes and checked the  box, but it has made no difference.
    Any suggestions! I could, of course, just check "Do not show this message again".

    Yea! I'm having the same problem over here!

  • HT2404 I have a 2011 macbook pro 13".  I am trying download software for the clear network and it won't let me saying I'm running in a 64 bit mode and I need to change my computer to a 32 bit mode before downloading.  Is that possible and how do I do it?

    I am trying to download software for the clear internet network.  It is telling me that I am running in a 64 bit mode and
    need to be in a 32 bit mode to run their software....can I and how do I change it to a 32 bit mode?

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • I just updated FF to 14.0.1 (Mac 10.6.8) and now netflix won't work. It's asking to restart in 32 bit mode and I changed it in the Get Info to 32 bit. No luck.

    Try downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight for Mac [http://microsoft-silverlight-mac.en.softonic.com/mac link text]. I just did this, and was able to play Netflix's streaming again--and without that "restart in 32-bit mode" button even appearing!
