Max (7.0.2) only opens in 64bit mode when I click the icon in the application folder.

When I drag this icon to the dock and click it, Max is always opened in 32bit mode.

When you press apple-i when the app is selected, you can uncheck 'open in 32-bit'.

I made a copy of the app, one is in 32 bit mode, the other 64 bit mode, both are in my dock and open correctly.

Doesn't work here. The dock-copy always opens Max in 32bit.

I have apps from Apple that do the same thing, and others that open from the dock in 64-bit regardless of the 32/64 bit setting. Might not be a Cycling issue.

Remove the max icon from the dock. Start Max up in 64 bit mode (info -- uncheck "open in 32-bit mode"). Then, while open in 64 bit mode, tell it to stay in the dock. Now it will open in future in 64 bit mode.

I too have the same problem. The above 'fix' does not seem to work. Any solutions?

It works well by using Sethares' solution. Thanks. Actually, I fail at the first time and I tried it again then it works.
