How Can I Manually Install Rosetta 2 on my Late 2021 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max OS Ventura 13? Only answers I see is in regards to receiving a pop up window when trying to run Intel based app. I need to know how to actually manually install Rosetts 2 "without the pop up." Thanks

I'm compelled..... I'm trying to get one of the worst apps to work on the planet; Garmin Basecamp. It has always ran like a P.O.S. on Monterey and prior Mac O.S. Some users on the Garmin site states that it's working slightly better running Rosetta 2 therefore, I'm compelled to install it. It doesn't surprise me that I'm not getting the prompt for installing. Thanks.

Remember, this is only for Apple Silicon ARM Macs, and this is not necessary on any Intel Mac (nor would Rosetta 2 install on Intel Macs anyway). Also, this capability is only available in macOS Big Sur or later.

For some quick background, new Apple Silicon Macs run on different architecture, whereas Macs have been running Intel chips for quite some time. Rosetta 2 translates Intel x86 code to ARM so that it can run on the new Apple Silicon hardware. You can read more about the Rosetta 2 translation environment at the Apple developer site gif interested.

i have installed rosetta 2.
when i click on install this is the message i get. how do i get it to invoke rosetta 2? no rosetta message appears under get info. i am lost on how to run older apps on the m1 under big sur.

Rosetta 2 will work automatically to launch Intel apps on Apple Silicon once it is installed and recognizes an Intel binary. You might try rebooting after installing it, if you have not done so already.

Photoshop Elements 2023 asks to install Rosetta every time it's opened on an M1 Macbook Pro running Monterey 12.6.1, and won't open if you don't install it. I've spent hours in chat with Adobe tech and downloaded PSE 2023 from their link, but each time Premiere or Photoshop Elements 2023 tries to open, it asks to install Rosetta. You can choose "Not Now" or "Install." Premiere Elements 2023 and Photoshop Elements 2023 opened once even when I chose "Not Now;" the Organizer never opened. Now Premiere and Photoshop Elements will NOT open if you choose "Not Now." I'm afraid to load my other software, that are plugins in to Photoshop Elements, beause they run on M1, as should PSE 2023, and I don't want them mistakenly running on Rosetta and defeating the purpose of upgrading to M1. Adobe tech support hasn't been able to find a fix, has anyone else?

I visited an app developer friend over the weekend and he said, although Adobe claims PSE 2023 will work with apple silicon, that just means it will work. That doesn't mean it works with it natively. He said that's misinformation from Adobe. He also said, go ahead and install Rosetta. It will still work faster than my intel mac, even though it's using Rosetta.

I am rather puzzled by what the message says "Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements". Surely these are separate apps. It sounds more as if you are running an installer. What do you click/double click to get this message?

It asked to install because it had never been installed. It is a new MacBook. However, before I installed Rosetta, I tried one more time to get help from tech support and I finally found someone who installed the app again from a different download and this time it opened without asking for Rosetta. They also got my DxO/Nik software to add as a plug-in, which PSE 2023 still won't add on my intel iMac, but I have a good clue for my next tech support chat for that open case.

I just wanted to repeat that, finally, there was an Adobe tech support person that stuck with it for a while and when the first new download from a different link yielded the same results, he found another link that I downloaded from and I was then able to open it on my M1 macbook pro without Photoshop Elements 23 asking me to install Rosetta. He also helped me get my Nik plug ins to work with PSE 23, also without having to install Rosetta. My Nik (Pro 5) products sometimes are and sometimes aren't present as plug-ins on my PSE 23 that's running on my 2019 intel 6-Core i5 iMac on Big Sur. So, mostly good!

Sorry to be so late responding, I'm just now seeing this. The Adobe tech posted it in the chat we had going, and I didn't keep track of that link. I just upgraded to PSE 2024, and now the Nik Selective Tool is missing again, and the Nik plug-ins aren't showing up under Filter. At the time I was just following along with what the tech was writing when it got fixed, was super happy it worked, but didn't take notes. Now I know better.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13" with the M1 processor and I cannot seem to get a native install of Dropbox for this chipset. From searching the community, it seems like M1 support should be available in the latest installer. However, trying that plus the latest beta build all ask me to install Rosetta during installation. What am I doing wrong?

Anyway, here's a clue - Photoshop 2021 on my mac has a checkbox in the Get Info dialog for selecting "Open using Rosetta". I enabled it and now Rosetta seems to be available for any app that needs it. Maybe look for an app (doesn't have to be Photoshop) with that checkbox available?

I recently bought a M1 MacBook Air and tried installing drop box but couldn't. After checking whether I could found that dropbox still isn't compatible so now I have to move else where. I had 2 dropboxes and aim to drop both. I can't believe that dropbox has totally ignored the M1 fraternity. Sometime in 2002 just doesn't cut it for me.

Hmm, my experience is different. Dropbox runs fine on my 16-in MacBook Pro (M1 Max chip), as well as my older Macs. The only negative is the 3-machine limit (somehow in years past, this didn't apply?).

@timlarsen @sdagley @pchimombe Thanks for your responses and the information you provided. I spent a couple of hours re-reading forum posts before I saw your replies and ended up removing my prestage enrollment package and creating a first priority policy with script as per -nation/discussions/37357/deploy-rosetta-on-m1-machines-before-everything-else#responseChild210791. After stumbling with bad interpreter errors because I'm still learning how to create scripts, I was able to successfully enroll my M1 MacBook Air with all my configurations and policies.

Hi @bootrec based on your post, I think the problem is that all packages created with Composer (as of this writing and based on my experience - I'm not speaking for Jamf or quoting any official documentation) do not natively support ARM architecture without first having installed Rosetta, so it's a bit of a "catch 22". What I ended up doing was taking my pre-stage package (which includes the open source DEPNotify application as well as a script) and going through the following steps:

Your first run package should now run on both Intel and M1 Macs. Again, this worked for me, but others may experience difference results, or maybe I'm over complicating the whole thing so would love to hear better solutions if they exist!

@bootrec Another option that eliminates the need to create an enrollment package is to create a Script under Settings->Computer Management-Scripts with Priority:Before (in the Options tab) and the following Script Contents:

How does that "Distribution Point: None" work? I'm serious, what is that option even there for? I have a well-formed payload-free package with the script as post-install, on my AWS DP, and it won't run. Will it run if I put it on None?

hi @SCCM yes I already did this but my requirement is to have an Antivirus running as soon as the user lands on the desktop on enrolment so I install an antivirus during prestage enrolment, but using the policy as you mentionned installs Rosetta indeed on enrolment complete.

@jpoirson i had a similar requirement, i just changed the flow. Rather than selecting the Enrollement package (AV) to install in the prestage, i created a policy to install the AV on enrolment complete (which still runs before anyone longs in but after the rossetta one due to the name). Not sure if that would work in your environment.

I set up a new MacBook Air M2 on the current Ventura release migrating from a 2013 MacBook Pro. 1PW 8 was moved over during the migration. When I tried to launch 1PW a notification popped up that I would have to download/install Rosetta for it to function on the new Mac. Is that actually necessary?

I'm sorry that you ran into an issue with 1Password when migrating from your old Macbook Pro to your new Macbook Air. The old Macbook Pro would have had an Intel build of the 1Password app installed and, when you migrated, this Intel build would have tried to run on your new M2 Mac which requires Rosetta.
