How to switch to 32-bit mode



About


Your Mac may be in 64-bit boot mode. By default, all Apple computers ship in 32-bit boot mode except for Mac Pros (desktop computer) and XServes. You may have forced your Mac to boot in 64-bit boot mode in the past by using a program or a special keyboard combination during startup of your Mac.

Forcing 64-bit mode is not recommended by Apple because of the compatibility issue with hardware devices. Most USB devices including BearExtender use 32-bit drivers.
