M1 chip

I upgraded from a 2013 Mac air to the MacBook Pro 13" M1 chip.


So far I am having a horrible experience. Games will not load and dev's put to the chip. Facebook having issues not play properly.


Migrated which was ok but now nothing working. da 1 had to delete OS and start again with massive help from support.


After 1 month I feel I have a big white elephant and I'm not confidant to take to work. I may have to carry 3 notebooks now. Not impressed so far.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

From the developers:


“New devices produced by Apple - MacBook Pro 2020, MacBook Air 2020, and Mac Mini 2020 include a new M1 chip, which is currently not supported by our application.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with the ETA when this issue will be resolved.

and as of Mid Nov. , I believe, they still don’t have an M1 version… so, you will need to check their support forums…



they do tell you to install Rosetta 2 and try to run it if you must:

Thank you for your reply though most is above my head.


Not sure on the graphics card as the app fails to install, when migrated it worked now it does not.


Facebook worked in safari and after upgrading the OS does not work, in safari.


Unfortunately, for the first time in years I bitterly regret buying apple and my hose is full of phones iPads and tv.


Again thank you for reply.

Try to install Plarium play for Mac, failed.


It worked on my Mac Air, when I migrated it worked on MacBook Pro. Due to other issues I deleted and reinstalled the OS, now not working.


Error message attached.


I contacted support who gave me a big list of thing to check, most of which are not supported by apple any more. They state some people have issues some it work, I find this strange.

Apple-Silicon M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max:


Apple says every well-behaved ordinary Application (that does not use Virtualization) will run on Apple-Silicon. It will use Rosetta emulation to translate the Intel binary to M1-binary.


Your Intel Apps will run and not crash while being executed on a completely different processor than the one the developer used. This is a truly remarkable feature.


It runs, and you can get your work done, which is what Apple promised and delivered.


--------

Most cross platform development systems, such as Android simulators, DO use Virtualization instructions, and are not currently working on M1 processors.


if the developer is serious about the Apple market, they will already be working on an Apple-Silicon OPTIMIZED version of their App. This version will ultimately contain code for BOTH Intel and Apple-Silicon, packaged up together as a "Universal Binary" and the correct modules for your processor are selected at run-time.


RE: Games-- this Mac uses a different graphics processor than any notebook computer has ever used. If the game makers "cheat"and attempt to directly address the Hardware, their game is likely to crash or at best malfunction. Games ported form the iPhone are generally NOT ready to be played directly on M1 processors, unless/until the developer does some work on them to make them compatible with the Mac environment. But its is not a lot of work.


Re: Facebook -- notebook computer Users should use the Facebook Web site. The facebook App from the iPhone is NOT ready to be used directly until facebook does some work on it to make it fully compatible.
