32-bit to 64-bit Change

Intel as Kind means they are all designed for Intel processors, as opposed to Power PC processors.

Its a pointless specification at this point, but back when the Intel Macs were first introduced they were for a while able to run Power PC apps.

The actual developer of that application is Epson as evidenced by the "Signed By" line. The application belongs to some kind of Epson printer or scanner or other hardware.

If you no longer have one of those, then you can remove it.

For actual Apple apps they should be updated to 64 bit or removed from the next macOS version.

Have a read of the following, might give you a little info on the subject.

I’m not sure if 32bit Apps will just stop working when the date finally comes or whether those apps will just suffer a performance hit, but what you can do now is look for and update as many as possible while both are still supported.

You need to search for any 32bit Apps that you still use (see the articles) and then go to the developers website to see if they offer a 64bit alternative, if they do it might be wise to update. As babowa has noted, you can ignore Apple software because they will probably update around the same time of the next OS change.

That’s my view on the situation, but others may add more.

Hope this helps.

It is Epson printer or scanner management software. For your particular device, Epson will be the sole source of the 64-bit software and drivers if, and when they choose to make it available for your Epson product.

The 32-bit applications and drivers will continue to work until the full 64-bit macOS.next is installed in Sept 2019.

Apparently you have/had a Brothers printer. You would have to contact their support for this.

And, there is no requirement to upgrade to the newOS the day it is released, so take your time. Developers may not release new versions until the new OS is out. And some may not if the device is older, they will want you to buy a new one.

Does this mean when update happens in Sept, the programs that use 32 bit will no longer function or that they will automatically be reset for 64 bit?

Thanks.

Since they appear to be Apple components, then Apple will take care of it.

For any third party apps, you can check with the developer once the new OS is announced by Apple.
