This will send your OS into 32-bit mode until you restart.
If it says “yes”, then that means that you are indeed running in 64-bit mode. If it says “no”, then that means that your OS is already running in 32-bit mode. Look for “64-bit Kernel and Extensions” and it should either have “yes” or “no”. Click on this and you will see an overview of your System Software. Scroll down on the left hand pane until you see “Software”.Now, you should see an option for “More info”, click on this to take you to System Profiler.Next click on the option, “About this Mac”.Head to the Apple Menu located at the top left of your desktop and click on it.
Well first, you need to see if this is really the problem. This really doesn’t help your situation though.
Adobe has patches for its programs in place for this if you already have your programs installed, you know, so that you can continue to run their programs in 64-bit mode. How is this a mistake? Adobe, and many companies, have programmed their installers to run in 32-bit mode (since before 10.6, this was THE most common method of running your operating system), and again, you might have your OS set to run in 64-bit mode. What might be happening in this case is that you could have your new OS set up to run in 64-bit mode. Make sure your system meets the requirements.” You have a relatively new MacBook Pro so this must be some sort of mistake… So you pop in your Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to install it, and you are greeted with the message, “Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro can’t be installed on this computer. You even opened up more of your hard drive after the installation! Good thing you just bought some software to fill up that space. You rushed home and installed that shiny new OS on your Mac and it runs like a dream. So, you have yourself the fancy new Apple operating system, Snow Leopard, and you also bought yourself a few software titles.
