32-bit

Arising from a discussion aside to come up on another thread, @TheShortTimer suggested this question be spun off into a new thread. Even as Apple formally withdrew support for running 32-bit applications from Catalina forward, the ability to use 32-bit binaries in Catalina persisted with the...

I know, I know… before anyone comes in here with “just use OCLP…”, I’ma stop that line and say, “Sit tight with that suggestion.” My lament comes from a turnover, even if one long-planned by design, of ever-mounting kludges and security fixes required to keep internet services (whose core...

Mac2K: The Years’ 2038 and 2040 Problems WikiPost struck: 31 January 2023 Last edited: 31 January 2023 OVERVIEW For folks who use PowerPC and even Intel Macs (prior to, say, macOS 10.15 Catalina), it’s never too soon or too late to start planning for the impending, dual Y2K-like hard limits...

Currently I am using my mixer /audio interface on my old 2011 MacBook Pro with HighSierra. But during the next year I would like to upgrade to the new 16 inch MacBook Pro with an M1 chip. Is anybody here who did the shift as well from an Intel to an Apple Silicon chip and succeeded in using his...

Hi, Anyone know how to get a licence code/key for GrapohClick? There's a really nice bit of software called GraphClick by the now defunct Airizona-Software-Ch. It digitises graphs: well images and even movie clips. It's 32 Bit, but it seemed to have dead-ended +/- 2010. Version 3 is 2008 And...

As you may know, Mac OS X Lion dropped support for 32-bit Intel Macs. Mountain Lion also removed the 32-bit kernel and EFI bootloader. However, it's possible to get Lion running on 32-bit Macs by swapping out the kernel, the bootloader, and the Finder, as well as some drivers (kexts) and...

Hello Everyone, With the recent update to Catalina, I am no longer able to play my old copy of Age of Empires III since it is 32-bit software. I saw that some folks are installing older versions of macOS on as virtual machines to use their old 32-bit apps, so I figured I would give that a try...

Here is my take, I have 5 systems that are my main Macs that I use everyday. I have 3 of those systems that have extensions and apps that are lingering 32-bit still. I have 1 of those Macs that does have Catalina Beta installed but that's just a checker. So the situation is, by the time next...

Just upgraded my Mac Pro 5,1 to 18A389 Mojave, which seems to be the GM release, "Beta" is stated nowhere. However, noticed that Universal Binary games like Enigmo 2, Nanosaur 2, Enigmo etc all crash upon launch. They do contain a i386 executable, and Mojave should be the last macOS to support...

Looking at https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-11-developer-beta-app-compatibility.2048556/ there are many apps beside 32-bit ones that won't run under ios11. I rely on several older apps and some developers have already told me they don't intend to update them to be compatible with ios11...

Hello, (my first post, please be patient if I don't get things quite right yet) I currently run a Mac Pro 2,1 (OS 10.6.8) which I am considering to replace with a Mac Pro 3,1. Even though the 2,1 is 64-bit architecture (but 32-bit EFI) it runs quite successfully some of my old 32-bit software...

I have a MacBook Pro 1,2 with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I'm starting to have software compatibility issues and would like to extend the machine's life by installing Linux--on a partition, to start with; perhaps later I'll get rid of OS X. I've partitioned...
