Mac Mini - 64 bit Mode

[Panelhead]

I have tried command V, control V, and it will not let me save the file. What is the Psuedo S that I seem to be missing?

You might find the following easier. Assuming you are an admin user, just issue the following command ( all one line):

 

 

 

sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's|{string}{/string}|{string}arch=x86_64{/string}|g' /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

 

But you have to replace each } with > and each { with < (limitations of the bb software).

 

What this command does is an in-line edit, using perl. It first backs up the original file to the same name, with suffix bak.

 

After rebooting, if it worked, you should see something like this:

 

 

system_profiler -detailLevel mini | grep "64-bit Kernel and Extensions"

64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes

 

 

Here's a snapshot of my Terminal session if that doesn't make sense:

Finishing up some weekend "duties". Audio has to wait.

I would never find time to post without a smart phone.
