Check Rosetta After Upgrading to macOS 27 Golden Gate

ByMike Moffit

Has an older app stopped opening after you upgraded to macOS 27 Golden Gate? The missing piece may be Rosetta, Apple’s software that lets Intel-based apps run on Macs with Apple silicon. Even if you installed Rosetta years ago, Apple’s release notes say it isn’t automatically restored after the upgrade. Fortunately, macOS 27 still supports it. With your Mac connected to the Internet, open the affected app. If you’re prompted to install Rosetta, click Install and enter your Mac login credentials when requested. You can also install Rosetta using Terminal: open Terminal from Applications > Utilities, enter softwareupdate –install-rosetta, press Return, and follow the on-screen instructions. Then try the app again. Installing from Terminal lets you set it up before you need it. Reinstalling Rosetta won’t resolve every compatibility problem, but it’s worth checking before replacing software you rely on. Also check whether the developer offers an Apple silicon or Universal version, since general Rosetta support ends after macOS 27.

Social Media: An Intel-based app that worked before your macOS 27 upgrade may need Rosetta reinstalled. Here’s how to restore Apple’s translation software.

  • Droids, Drones, Scooters, Cars and USB C

    I remember only a couple years ago when drones were new and cutting edge technology. Now, there are huge sections of the show devoted to drones of all sorts: fighting drones, mini drones, paper airplane drones and dancing drones. I don’t know if it is the Star Wars influence but droids were everywhere, including “laundroids” for folding your laundry, grill cleaning droids, window washing droids and all kinds of robots.

    3D printers were new and unique and again whole sections of the show were devoted to “replicators” making everything from iPhone cases to clothing to spare body parts. Several companies were there just to show their filaments for these 3D printers.

    Scooters were everywhere. You know, the ones in the news that have the batteries that blow up. Well, literally dozens of companies were showing their versions and the original Segway had a booth, too. Some one-wheel scooters were there as well as shoes with wheels that zipped you around.

    Self-driving cars and technology for self driving cars dominated the North Hall and some concept cars were shown, too. My favorite was the Faraday electric car that looked like a single seat batmobile.

    USB-C made its debut at the show with hubs, cables and some USB display port displays, too. I think we will see a lot of USB-C stuff coming up!

    Less prevalent this year was the huge variety of iPhone and iPad cases. There were huge sections last time but while there were several companies showing cases it was toned way down. In their place, power banks of all sorts were being shown in every imaginable shape and size. The Apple battery case, aka the hump, was universally panned but several companies had slim battery cases for the iPhone.

    I did walk through the TV section but it was not as notable as in past years. The 3D fad has sort of expired and 4K displays are common. I still love the OLED displays, though.

    Other areas that were huge were health care and fitness with a lot of wearable fitness devices and health monitors or all sorts from implantable blood glucose devices to blood pressure cuffs, thermometers and scales. The home automation section was larger than previous years and there were some new HomeKit compatible devices. I liked the NoLok offering of bluetooth compatible padlocks and bike locks that work similar to the Kevo system.

    It was a quick trip out to Vegas but it was certainly worthwhile. I will follow up next week with a bit more.
