Due to the ARM architecture, there are still a considerable number of Mac software that has not been upgraded to support the ARM architecture that cannot run on Mac computers with M1 chips. When opened on computers with M1 chips, it may prompt ["XXX" cannot be opened due to a problem. Please contact the developer...]
However, most applications are actually compatible with the M1 chip. The operation method is as follows:
1. Open Finder, enter the application directory, find the software icon that flashed back, right-click on the software icon and select "Show Introduction", or select the icon and then Press the shortcut key "command+i" to open the introduction;
2. Check "Open with Rosetta", and then open the software to run.
About Rosetta
Whenever you use an app built for Mac computers equipped with Intel processors, Rosetta 2 runs in the background. Rosetta will automatically convert the App for use with Apple chips.
In most cases, there will be no difference in the performance of apps that require Rosetta.
What software can be run through Rosetta?
Check the type of "Type" on the introduction to see if the app supports Rosetta:
App (general) means that App supports both Apple chips and Intel processors, and uses Apple chips by default.
Application (Intel) means that the App only supports Intel processors and requires Rosetta to run on any Mac equipped with Apple chips.
