MAC/ Max is not starting in 32bits - mode anymore
Hello,
Using old max-msp externals, I always needed to use the 32bits - mode on my Mac.
Since I downloaded the last version of Max, It always open on the 64bits even if the 32bits mode is checked. (see picture)
I downloaded a older version of Max, and then it worked again, but since today, it doesn't work anymore....
No explanation on the subject but I find this really weird.
Any help please ?

I would strip 64 bit code off, and leave only i386 structure.
That way it will work only in 32 bit, if your OS supports 32 bit apps
Why You get this problems...? I can't say, probably
some interference between apple nonsense, privileges etc etc. Who knows...
Seems a great idea !! But might be a bit over my competencies, any help on how to strip the code off?
This can be done with Terminal, using ditto command.
So You write ditto --arch i386 in terminal, followed by original Max.app path,
space and new app path.
The copied app will retain only i386(32 bit) code.
easiest way to do it:
1 Oper Terminal, write ditto --arch i386, add space .
Drag original Max.app on terminal window, add space
and drag the Max.App again , but rename it to Max32.app in Terminal
Hit enter, that's all.
If You don't need original 64/32 bit capable Max.app, just delete it
Thanks for your help,
But I stay a bit desperate, :(
"No possible to open application Max32 because it can be damaged or uncompleted"
The size of the 32app file is 724mB against 932mB for normal app.
Other way ?
That is probably stupid apple gatekeeper message, maybe because it's now
named Max32.app, instead of Max.app.
Try to remove 32 from the name, maybe it will work.
I suggested renaming the 32 bit app so that You don't need to create
different destination directory for ditto command.
Personally, I get rid of all that apple bullshit, gatekeepers, system protections etc.
Let me use my computer the way I want it ....
