What happened to Rosetta 2?

It's crazy. I sold my old computer to upgrade to the M1 because I was sure I was only going to win. I've seen reviews of how fast the software works. And now I have a top MacBook Pro M1 16RAM 1Tb SSD on which I can't run any Adobe program properly. They just don't work. I need to work. I have commitments. I have high-paying, complex projects, and I'm left without tools. What's going on at all? What should I do? The news says that Apple will no longer use Rosetta. That's great surprise! Looks like a very very bad joke, Mr. Tim Cook. I could lose contracts because of this purchase, but no one even explains anything and no one offers a solution.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

It wasn't easy, but I did it. Rosetta had to be installed through Terminal from Apple servers, and I had to reinstall all the apps. It works now. Maybe this is a problem unique to my region (Russia).

Look up on Reddit "Rosetta May Be Removed From M1 Macs in Some Regions on macOS 11.3". There are interesting comments in thread on the subject of regional legislation.


Anyway. Thanks for your attention, Yer_Man

I’ve seen system popup first time I tried to install Adobe Creative Clouds: “To open app you need to install Rosetta”, but it was not installed and I couldn't open the apps. Then Rosetta was installed through Terminal. It was installed, I can open Intel apps now but I still have no “Open using Rosetta” In my Info windows for Adobe Illustrator or After Effects for example. I see only "Open in low resolution" and "Locked" in check box.

Well I guess it depends on which Adobe apps you are using but Lightroom and Photoshop have been upgraded to run natively. Others will follow. I've no idea what you mean by "The news says that Apple will no longer use Rosetta." except that it really doesn't mean what you think it does. Nothing has happened to Rosetta 2.


Do you have an actual question someone might help you with?
