Good advice, but Even Better Than That….

Search for “Go64” in your favourite search engine. You’ll be taken to the 
(FREE!) Go64 App by St Clair Software, makers of Default Folder.

Go64 is System Report on steroids: many 64-bit apps still have some 32-bit 
components which may or may not affect their performance. Go64 will help you 
identify these very esaily and let you make a decision about them. Go64 also 
has many other functions, such as giving you the chance to delete problematic 
Apps from with its own interface - a huge time saver. It has many other 
convenient functions as well.

We showed this off at the WAMUG meeting last week. Highly recommended.

Unable to open Photos Library in macOS Catalina ?

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks.
Well this is a first for me … encountering an issue with a new macOS.

I am being asked to repair Photos Library.
Having agreed to do that and performing the exercise apparently successfully, I 
get the message
“Photos was unable to open the library”.(1000)

Any suggestions please ?

A macOS Catalina tip from my experience

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks.

Hi mate,

With Catalina Apple have finally dropped all support for 32 bit applications.
So before installing Catalina check which of your apps do not operate on 64 bit.

Go to “About this Mac” at top left of Desktop.
Click on “System Report”
Click on “Applications” and wait for the screen to load.

Each application will tell you if it is 64 bit or 32 bit (and some will be 
32/64 bit)
I thought there was a column on that screen indicating this.
But I cannot see it so you may have to click on each line (application) to find 
out.

Other than that everything is running fine for me so far.

Stephen Chape
