How can I open Musescore3 on my brandnew Macbook Pro 13" 2022 with a M2 chip??

Stupid machine tells me to "check my internet connection" (there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!) because it can't "look for updates" (there are non! neither concerning my OS nor concerning Musescore). And my machine also doesn't ask me to install Rosetta. And I can't find a page with a link to download it manually and at least give it a try!


So how on earth can i get my music notation software running???

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi kriz2016,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. It looks like you came from the following support article: If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support


If you are unable to install Rosetta on your Mac, here are a few steps to help:


  1. Restart your device to see if a refresh resolves the issue.
  2. Update your device to rule out the older software.
  3. Confirm the compatibility, using the link that you came from to rule that out.
  4. If the error persists, try using a stronger or another internet connection being that the error is very specific: If your Mac isn't connecting to the internet over Wi-Fi - Apple Support
  5. Once you have done those steps, confirm that all the steps in this link were taken: If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support


Have a great day.

If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac


Rosetta 2 is only available on Apple Computer with the Silicon M1 / M2 CPU. 


There are three categories / types of software that can run on the Operations System.


Only Intel Binary Code. This software will invoke Rosetta 2 to translate the Intel binaries so the operating system can understand and execute the Application. The Applications must be 64 Bit to function on Big Sur and Monterey


Universal Binary Software.  It contains Both Intel and M1 ARMs binary code and refer to (  Universal 2 ) When the user installs a 64 bit Application that contains Both Intel and M1 ARMs binaries - depending on factors, the Operating System may or may not invoke Rosetta 2.


Apple Silicon “ Checking in System Information >> Applications  >> as of now, only see One Application classified as Apple Silicon and that is “ Rosetta 2 Updater “.


That would make perfect sense since. It is specifically designed to operate only on Apple Silicon M1 / M2 ARMs based computers
