Top Workarounds for Unsupported Apps
If you’ve upgraded to a MacBook Air M or MacBook Pro M Max (), you may have discovered that some of your favorite apps no longer work. That’s because Apple’s move to Apple Silicon (M, M, M, M chips) changed the underlying architecture from Intel x to ARM, breaking compatibility for many older apps.
While this shift brought faster performance and efficiency, it also left many Intel-only and -bit apps behind. Fortunately, there are several reliable workarounds to help you continue running unsupported apps on your Mac.
Apple Silicon uses ARM architecture, which broke Intel-only apps
Rosetta can translate many Intel apps (but not all)
Virtual machines let you run old macOS or Windows for legacy software
Cloud apps and web-based tools replace unsupported apps
Updated alternatives are available for most discontinued software
