Is Rosetta necessary to run Sky Go on MacBook Air? Bought a new Mac Air specifically to run Sky Go - now I cannot download it as it looks like I need to download "Rosetta" to make the chip compatible (?). I cannot find anyway to download this. Please help as it is for an 86 year IT illiterate granny!! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Unable to Installing VMware Fusion Player 13 on MacBook 13 M2 Dear Support Team, I'm writing to report a problem I've encountered while attempting to install VMware Fusion Player 13 with a Personal Use License on my MacBook 13 M2. Here's a description of the issue: 1. After double-clicking on the "VMware Fusion" icon. 2. I enter my MacBook password. 3. A pop-up appears with the message "Initializing VMware Fusion." 4. After a few seconds, the pop-up disappears, and the software doesn't install. I've made multiple attempts to install it, and I also tried after restarting my laptop, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to successfully install the application. My MacBook is running macOS Sonoma 14. I downloaded the software from the official website I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. Please let me know if you need any further information from my end. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

You will need the current version of VMware Fusion Pro for the M3 MacBook Pro. Horizon is too old and likely compiled solely for Intel, which means it won't work on Apple Silicon (as you have discovered). Virtual Machine guests on an M3 Mac must be compiled for ARM64 and not Intel too.

VMware is offering a free Fusion VM for Apple Silicon for personal usage. See their site.
