iWorks compatibility with Catalina 10.15 Hello, Does anyone has the official install package for Pages, Numbers and Keynote 11.1 compatible with Catalina ? I have a problem on my Appstore account from which they disappeared after re-installing my computer from zero. The Apple Support can't help me with restoring them as i'm on a mid-2012 MacBook Pro. They told me i should find the official install package to have them back on my account. But the last version available on the Appstore for download is the v12, not compatible with Catalina. Thank you for your help, Sébastien

Ventura security problems. I updated to Ventura 13.1 . I can not find a way to run for example VMD, molden etc. These are the programs I used to work with on a daily basis. I am getting the errors: For VMD: “startup.command” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware. For molden: “libgfortran.3.dylib” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store. Your security settings allow installation of only apps from the App Store. I did not find a way to make it work. Could anyone help, please? Is there any official way for system problems for mac users? This is really annoying to struggle with this kind of new features that does not work properly on the updated macOS. I have a feeling that with the every update I am less and less happy with the operating system and regret that abandoned linux enviroment... Thank you in advance for your help, tips and tricks.

big sur or catalina? I have Macbook pro 2020, Intel i5, 8 GB. I was given a friend and they installed macOS Ventura in it, and it hung very badly. After a short use, I reinstalled on macOS Monterey 12.6.2. And anyway, when you work on 4-5 windows at once, the laptop gets very hot, the fans are constantly noisy (((. and I don't want to work. Tell me please! for stable, silent and lag-free operation, install on macbook macOS big sur or macOS catalina? even if these systems freeze, I will sell this laptop 😂 It's just annoying.)

Two reasons I can think of

it may be a 32 bit app
It is a security app and Macs should NEVER have third party security apps installed

That is a good thing. You should not install any third party apps that claim to protect, clean, manage, boost performance, etc.
