i've got mine set to 64 bit kernel default, but i don't want my computer to wear out or anything. my last iMac's capacitors blew, and i'd hate to have something like that happen any more quickly. will keeping it in 64 bit wear my computer out?
View 14 RepliesHow do you know find out while in operation which kernel you are running in ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI held down the 6 and 4 keys and booted up into 64 bit kernel on my mac pro 3.1 fine.
I checked and all my extensions are 64 bit, but not all software is.
So far, all of my stuff works fine- the printer, scanner, trackpad, revolution mx mouse and web cam, as do all of the programs that I have tried to use.
What is the benefit of running my mac in 64 bit kernel?
Can I set something so that it will automatically boot up in 64 bit every time?
Do the places were your hands rest during typing on the keyboard get wear down (does the Al get that shiny appearance)????????

View 14 Replies View Relatedmy late 2006 macbook running 10.4.11 has been acting very strange since yesterday. first, it freezes while i'm recording something off of isight and i have to restart. works fine for 30 minutes until it randomly restarts (probably due to heat) and takes me two reboots and some time to fix it (i have to put an ice pack to keep it cool). then later in the night, it randomly restarts again and takes two reboots to get it back. then in the past hour, the screen has frozen, it went into a kernel panic and it randomly restarted again while i was trying to post this the first time. and also, it's been running very hot despite having no applications running.

I called applecare today, they weren't any help they told me to reinstall OS X, so I am downloading the updates I need and it tells me to restart my computer, during the installation process the god dam computer freezes, I wait and wait, finally I decide to shut it off, now it keeps going to some kernel panic mode, wtf should I do, I demand a replacement, I've had problems since I got this computer, two logic board replacements, now this?
View 11 Replies View RelatedMy imac has started to have a kernel panic all the time lately. It is where the whole screen will go darker and then a box in all different languages comes up saying I need to restart the computer. I have a couple of questions in relation to this, first if I reinstall and then back up from timemachine will I have the same issue again? If I do a fresh install and reimport all my music and vids manually will that be a better way to do things?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a partition with Boot Camp and install Windows XP SP2. Whenever i try to create a partition, the kernel crashes and i need to restart my whole computer, boot up from the OSX CD and then "Repair Disk" to get the lost hard drive space back. I had partitioned my HD last week, but then removed it, but now when i try it, it always freezes the computer. is there any way to solve this problem without my data being lost?

I backed up my MBP using time machine on an external HD. i got a new iMac but when i set it up yesterday i didnt have the backup ready to install. so i went to migration assistant and did it that way. now the apps are in the apps folder but that its. i noticed in the user folder that the user from my macbook is there. do i just sign in and out using that account now and not the one i created while setting up my imac?

Using iMovie and got a (-50) error and ran Disk Utilities to see if everything was okay. Unfortunatly it wasn't and recomended that I hold down the command and r key while doing a restart. When I do this, the Apple logo comes up, but then switches to an icon of a circle with a diagonal line through it and then I get a kernel panic shortly after. how my App Store purchesed lion can run disk utilities in protected mode?

I recently installed (4) - 4gb RAM modules and I'm worried that they may be running too hot. The image attached is from the machine just essentially sitting idle all day. Only 1gb of the 17gb are wired. When I do put the Mac to work, either through Handbrake or running Autocad through Fusion, the temp on module A1 reaches 173 degrees and the fan speed just about doubles.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a Quicksilver G4 that is running 10.4 and I need to replace the OS with OS9 and I'm trying to a clean install (this computer is running a piece of equipment that needs software that only runs in OS9 and running it in classic mode won't work). I'm trying to boot from the OS9 CD but the computer won't start from the CD - when I hold down the C key it will try to use the CD but I get the alternating folder with the classic mac happy face and question mark. When I hold down the option key only the current HD with OSX shows up, and not the CD. It's entirely possible, since this disc is 10+ years old, that the install CD has something wrong with it and is no longer
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get certificates from our AD PKI to our Mac Laptops for some time now under 10.6 so they can authenticate WPA2-Enterprise to our Cisco ACS wireless and Juniper SSL VPN.Since then working with Apple I was told to move to trying this under 10.7 with Profile Manager.I have set up the Windows 2008 r2 NDES server to accept the SCEP requests from the payload that Profile Manager distributes to the 10.7 clients.
After a lot of troubleshooting and work over a few weeks all is working well now. The test users can auth to wireless and the VPN.However - The cert that is returned to the user's login keychain for the client is exportable, even though we mark it as non-exportable in the certificate request template.I have been told that this is expected behavior by keychain when it requests a certificate via SCEP.
So I am looking for two things:Really?? You cannot get a cert in there as non-exportable? andDoes anyone know if this is a defect in Keychain or SCEP?The only other workaround I can find is to then request the cert, and from the client (an admin as we dont want the user to have the exportable private key) exports the cert, deletes it from keychain and then re-imports it with the import -x flag so it cannot be exported. This obviously doesnt scale and requires an admin to touch every laptop.

My computer is running very slow. Beach ball all the time. I have about 35mb hard drive free space and 4 MB RAM. I monitor with Activity Monitor. Everytime I open a program, like Safari, Adobe, Activity Monitor shows they use up to 99% CPU. It goes downafter a little while to a small perecntage, until I try to do something with them. Then many times, it will jump back up to high %CPU and give me the beachball and run very slow. This is a new thing. Does anyone know what may be the problem with my computer?

Yes you read that right. Your brand spanking new MBP will use a 32-bit kernel as default.
You can force 64-bit kernel but some of your hardware will not be working.
So all that marketing crap about the benefits of 64-bit etc are all B.S.
I don't want a million threads about how this will not effect the running of 64 bit apps, etc. because it will. Your 64-bit app will run but it will not be able to address more than 4Gb of RAM.
There are also many more advantages to having a 64-bit kernel.
Safari locking up originally. I would get beach balls pretty often, and simple tasks like opening a new tab would take a long time. One day last week I noticed it took like 30 minutes to index in spotlight..just random weird things like that.Yesterday, I got home and the computer had the little loading icon on the middle of my desktop and was completely locked up. The computer wasnt doing anything other than running normal processes.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI just thought i'd share my applecare story. I have a 2.2 ghz SR macbookpro. the headphone jack was acting a little static and i thought that the computer was running warm. So i sent it to apple with my installed seagate 500gb 7200rpm drive. Apple called me and told me they couldn't fix it with my drive in it because it wasn't under their warranty. But, they would put a free 160gb drive in instead and mail my 500gb back. They also did some additional work.
So the first time i sent it in they replaced:
Logic Board and graphics processor
Left in/out board
flex cable
hard drive
flex cable (a diff one)
left fan

My computer has recently started running very hot. At first it was just when playing a certain game, but now it is fairly frequent, and it is loud, not to mention not good for the computer.

I have a 2008 non-unibody MacBook Pro. When I boot the computer, sometimes the display does not turn on. I've tried using the flashlight technique, and there isn't even anything on the LCD. I know the computer is on because it makes the chime and if I enter my password I can adjust the volume and play music. Occasionally, resetting the SMC will fix the issue temporarily, but it doesn't always work. What should I do?
