For example, if updating from Prism 8 to Prism 9.0.0, the updater will provide the message: This update window incorrectly inserts the current Prism version number into the new Prism version that is available. When updating from Prism 7 or 8 on macOS Big Sur, there is a known issue in which the Software Update dialog (displaying the update notification for new versions of Prism) appears to display the wrong Prism version number. Prism 6 and older will not work (or launch) on macOS Big Sur (these versions will also not launch on macOS 10.15 Catalina). We have not thoroughly tested Prism 7 with macOS Big Sur or Apple Silicon (via Rosetta), but it seems to work fine. We will not update Prism 8 to run natively on M1 chips, but Prism 8 runs fine under Rosetta. Prism 9.0.1 (released January 2021) is a universal binary that runs natively both on Macs with an Intel chip and on Macs with the new Apple M1 chip. You'll notice a delay of a few seconds the first time you do so. Rosetta lets software written to run on Intel Macs run on M1 Macs. There is nothing special you need to know about Rosetta to run Prism under it - just double-click the app and that's it. Prism 9.0.0 runs in compatibility mode using Rosetta on Big Sur on Apple M1 Macs. Prism 9.0.0 fully supports Big Sur running natively on Intel chips. Prism 6 and older will definitely not work at all on macOS Big Sur (and won't even launch).Īpple has begun to transition the Mac from Intel chips to its new M1 chip, which is both more powerful and uses less power (so extends battery life).Īpple also released macOS Big Sur, the next major release of macOS.Prism 7 has not been fully tested on macOS Big Sur, but should work adequately.Prism 8 runs quite well under Big Sur. Known issues can be found here.Prism 9.0.0 runs fine on Big Sur, on computers using Intel chips and on computers using the M1 chip (running in compatibility mode using Rosetta).Prism 9.0.1 was released on Januand will run natively on the M1 chip.

In late 2020, Apple released macOS 11 Big Sur and new Mac computers that use new M1 chips designed by Apple instead of the Intel chips that Macs used to use.
