JohnH Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks for that heads up. I found I was running the 32 bit version as well, so I immediately upgraded. That also spurred me to add the Chrome browser to my iPhone. I think it is faster than Safari, although Safari was pretty efficient already. It's nice to have both, giving me choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I also appreciate the information and will upgrade to the 64-bit version today. In about three minutes, in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonanza 23B Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks for this information. I just upgraded to the 64 bit version and it is faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I tried downloading the versions that had 64 bit after the name; and my current version does NOT. But, it tells me it cannot download the same version I already have! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thank you for the "heads up", also needed to upgrade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Same thing happened to me, Lion. But I usually use FIreFox, so no biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Firefox has a 64 bit version, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hey, Gail. I tried again today. Same messages. But, I closed everything and was going to try downloading via IE when I noticed I have a Chrome Setup on my desktop. Clicked and it installed. I'm in the 64-bit now! I think it's faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
