Why won't 64-bit capable apps run in 64-bit mode under 10.6.8?

have application called Spartan '10, and it is 64-bit capable. i have set it to run in 64-bit mode in the app's preference pane. yet when i use Activity Monitor, it indicates that the app is running in 32-bit mode. is this because of the OS? will upgrading to lion/mtnlion make any difference? thx in advance to all knowledgable responders. btw, the iMac is late 2009, has the 64-bit EFI, and the OS and all related subroutines are running in 64-bit mode, according to Activity Monitor. the Spartan application is about the only thing NOT in 64-bit mode. why is this?

Yes. You have a 64-bit ROM since your model will run Mountain Lion. So, what you want to do is install Mountain Lion which will boot the 64-bit kernel by default. Otherwise: 32- or 64-bit Kernel Startup Mode Selector 1.6.
Note you may have problems in 64-bit kernel mode. Main worry is video drivers that are 32-bit and will not work in the 64-bit kernel. But give it a try. I would just ugrade OS X:
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Why won't Apple allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor internet activity on the Safari browser on iOS?

Why won't Apple allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor internet activity on the Safari browser on iOS?

Yes, that is the app. It is used to monitor your internet activity, but because Apple won't allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor the Safari browser or any other browsers the Covenant Eyes app has to be its own browser which causes some issues. You can't click on a link and have it open because the iOS tries to open Safari by default when you do that.
I'm just wondering if there is anywhere on Apple's website that discusses this type of thing, why they don't allow an app like Covenant Eyes to monitor the Safari browser. The Covenant Eyes program for Macs will monitor internet activity on the computer.

That's just the way the web works. If the font is not
installed on the
user's computer it can't display in their browser. You are
best to stay with
commonly installed fonts and to specify multiple fonts in
your CSS. Start

CC subscription is current, but today all CC apps run only in TRIAL mode!?!

This morning I get into the office, on a heavy deadline, and I'm screwed.
My Creative Cloud membership is current, but suddenly, without any warning, ALL CC apps run only in TRIAL MODE. Gee thanks, Adobe.
What do I do now?
Thanks for any help.

Same problem here--I was on deadline, lost access to all my Adobe CS6 applications. According to the Adobe support tech I spoke with, the licensing process is corrupted and they're working on a fix. From the looks of the complaints on this forum, they've been working on it for quite awhile.
Seems that IF your computer happens to be disconnected from the web when Adobe's cloudserver decides to send the "yup, he's paid up for this month" message, the system fails and your software shifts over to a 30-day trial. I was (seriously now) assured that all I had to do was make sure my computer was connected and ready for Adobe on my particular biiling cycle day (the 15th of the month) and then this would never happen.
To fix the issue, I should click the "licensing" button, provide my Adobe ID and password, and all would be well until the following month.That worked for InDesign, didn't work for Photoshop or Fireworks. Failing that, I should uninstall and reinstall and relicense everything...and all would be well until the following month.
I don't have time for these games; when I buy software I expect it to be available and I don't see why renting it should be any different. At the moment I'm out $30 worth of access.
Fortunately, I'd never uninstalled my old CS5.5 collection. I'm sending a note to Adobe telling them to cancel my cloud subscription, and going back to plain old licensed software. If I ever need to upgrade CS apps again, I'll do them as-needed and stay the heck away from the cloud. Cloud SaS would be nice, but Adobe needs to get it right before they sell it.

Why won't the new Photos app accept JPG files from my Kodak Easy Share like iPhoto did?

Why won't Photos accept JPG files from my camera like IPhoto did?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

Why won't any of my apps open?

Why can't I open any apps?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

64 Bit Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 - does it work for anyone?

Hi,
Is anyone running 64 BI Photoshop CS4 running on 64 Bit WIndows 7 without any problems? Mine is totally unusable due to wild erratic brushes (clone, healing, eraser and more). I have had zero success with Adobe. Two weeks after posting a support incident, they finally responded with an answer that had absoutley nothing to do with my support ticket. Unbelievable. SO maybe I'll get another response in 2 more weeks.
I have another thread that explains my problems, but that is not the purpose of this post. For this I am interested in what configurations people are using with 64 bit CS4 and 64 bit Windows 7, especially, what graphics cards are you using in the situations where there are no problems. I will even buy new graphics cards, because I have to. I cannot work as is.
Is anyone using dual graphics cards successfully with 64 bit Win 7 and 64 bit CS4. if so, what cards?
Thanks

PS CS4 does not support dual cards (or dual GPU cards) so the other card in the case is not being used.
Set up is simple:
M4A79T delux MB
8 gigs of corsair dominator ram timings 8,8,8,24 2T CMD4GX3M2B1600C8
AMD 965 Quad 140 watt
ATI 5870 with 9.11 drivers
PS CS4 Extended 11.0.1 update
Simple USB keyboard
MS Comfort Optical 3000 mouse
Windows 7 professional 64 bit plus updates. Aero turned on.

Can 64-bit runtime engine run a 32-bit vi?

I have an application which is built with LabVIEW 2011 (64-bit) and install on a 64-bit OS machine, and it will call some vi which I think is also writen by 64-bit LabVIEW, now I want to modify a vi, but I only have the 32-bit LabVIEW version, and it will show load error when I run the application, is the 64-bit run-time engine cannot load the 32-bit vi? If yes, then anyone can help me to transform the 32-bit vi to 64-bit (2011)?
I have attached my vi, thanks in advance.

You can donwload and install the 64bit LabVIEW version and activate it with the same code you currently have for the 32 bit version. They both can coexist on the same machine. USe whatever is currently needed.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Why won't some of my apps open?

My apps won't open.. When I try they just close.. But it's just apps from the app store. My safari and short cuts work.. Why is this happening?

Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod again. However, this time redownload the apps directly to the iPod. Do not sync them. Do it one app at a time. Maybe the apps in your iTunes library are corrupted. If you are signed inot the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps you will not be charged again.

Why won't any of my apps open after software update?
