Boot your Mac in 32 bit mode, not 64 bit, then try booting Cubase in 64 bit. Many companies are recommend not booting your Mac in 64 bit mode at this stage.
Re. “I rely don’t understand though… How would I be able to boot cubase in 64 bit mode when the machine is running in 32bit mode??”
There’s a lot of info on this in FAQs from a number of plug-in manufacturers, so if my advice puzzles you, please feel free to check further. In brief, you don’t need to use the 64 bit kernel on a Mac to run Cubase in 64 bit mode. It’s just the way a Mac works. Trust me In fact, as I mentioned above many companies are pointing out that they highly recommend you do NOT run your Mac o/s in 64 bit at this time unless every single driver for the system itself is 64 bit. I repeat, you do not need to boot your Mac in 64 bit to run Cubase in 64 bit. Try it. And as Curt points out, you should also be seeing that little box to uncheck in Info. If you do what I recommend and you still don’t see it, then it’s time for additional action. HTH
thanks for the help but running a 64 bit application in 32 mode makes no sense… if what you’re saying is true than their wouldn’t be countless threads about waiting for cubase to finally be released as a 64 bit application to run on
a 64 bit Snow Leopard.
There is no 32 check box in the get info pane of Cubase. I’v talked with cubase support and they agree that there is a bug.
Really, running a 64 bit application in 32 bit host?
by the way, ALL of my plugins and audio interface ARE 64 bit so I do have a reason to run Cubase in 64 bit.
Also, right now standing idle Cubase uses 18-19% of my processing power and Logic 9 uses 2-3% standing idle.
I know it’s weird but 64 bit applications run in 64 bit hosts…
if you’re interested in understanding why Mac OS X is able to run 64bit applications on top of the 32bit kernel you can read the following article (along with a few other links found on the same page):
