Two-minute tip
This week ’s tip is related to the release of macOS Catalina , which need your software to be 64 - act . If you ’re using newer , recently unloosen software , chances are it ’s 64 - bit . But if you have an app or two that ’s honest-to-goodness and never been update , it could be 32 - number . And 32 - bit software wo n’t work on Catalina .
Before you upgrade to Catalina , check to see if you have any apps that are 32 - turn and need to be upgrade . you’re able to do this with an app from St. Claire Software call Go64 . Go64 scans your Mac , and name whether it ’s 64 - spot or not . It also provide web links to the app developer ’s site so you may check for upgrade . you could get Go64 atstclairsoft.com .
If you do n’t want to apply a third - company app , you may check your software in the Mac ’s Activity Monitor app , which is found in your Mac ’s Utilities folder . We have an article on with thedetails on how to use Activity Monitor to confirm whether your software is 32- or 64 - bit .
