Discuss Apple Apple-Device-Support Exam Topic 3 Question 36

What should you do in the app's Get Info window if your Mac with Apple silicon doesn't recognize a needed app plug-in when you open the app?

ASelect the 'Open using Rosetta' checkbox for the plug-in.

BSelect the 'Open using Rosetta' checkbox for the app.

CChoose Universal from the Kind pull-down menu for the app.

DChoose Universal from the Kind pull-down menu for the plug-in.

Suggested Answer: B

Some universal apps (apps that don't need Rosetta) include the setting ''Open using Rosetta.'' This setting enables a universal app such as a web browser to use plug-ins, extensions, or other add-ons that do need Rosetta, because they haven't been updated to support Apple silicon. If a universal app doesn't recognize an add-on that you installed for the app, you can quit the app, select this setting, and try again. To do this, you need to open the app's Get Info window and check the box labeled ''Open using Rosetta''.Reference:If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support,How to force universal Mac apps to run under Rosetta emulation,How to Launch the Intel Version of a Universal Apple Silicon App

Wait, can you really use Rosetta for plug-ins? That’s new to me!

Carmelina 11 months ago

C is the way to go if you want it to work smoothly!

Zack 11 months ago

No way, it’s gotta be D for the plug-in, right?

Asuncion 11 months ago

I thought it was A? Seems like a common mistake.

Carin 11 months ago

Definitely B, you need to check that for the app.

Ivory 12 months ago

I thought Universal was the way to go, but now I'm confused if it applies to the app or the plug-in in this case.

Franklyn 12 months ago

I feel like the answer might be B, selecting Rosetta for the app, since that's what helps run Intel-based apps on Apple silicon.

I practiced a similar question where we had to select Rosetta, but I can't recall if it was for the app or the plug-in specifically.

Fidelia 1 year ago

I think I remember something about Rosetta being important for compatibility, but I'm not sure if it's for the app or the plug-in.

Ryann 1 year ago

Choosing Universal from the Kind pull-down menu for the app might be the way to go. That could help ensure compatibility between the app and the plug-in on my Apple silicon Mac.

Dalene 1 year ago

The key seems to be making sure the plug-in is set to open using Rosetta. That should resolve the issue with my Mac not recognizing the plug-in. I'll go with option A.

Rosendo 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Should I select the 'Open using Rosetta' checkbox for the app or the plug-in? I'm a bit confused on the right approach here.

Casie 1 year ago

I think the answer is to select the 'Open using Rosetta' checkbox for the plug-in. That should help the app recognize the plug-in on my Mac with Apple silicon.

Rosetta? More like Rosetta stone! Let's hope this doesn't turn into an ancient language lesson.

Salome 1 year ago

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think I'll go with option C just to be safe. No need to 'Rosetta' everything, you know?

Yeah, that's probably the best option to try first.

Teddy 1 year ago

↳ replying to Salome

I agree, selecting Universal from the Kind pull-down menu seems like the safest choice.

I'm not sure if Rosetta is the solution here. I'm going to try option D and see if that works.

Christiane 1 year ago

↳ replying to Jacob

Let's try both options D and C to see which one solves the issue.

Chauncey 1 year ago

↳ replying to Jacob

I'm not sure, maybe we should also consider option C just in case.

Delfina 1 year ago

↳ replying to Jacob

I think option D might work, let's give it a try.

Jeannine 2 years ago

Hmm, I see your point. But I think C) Choose Universal from the Kind pull-down menu for the app makes more sense.

Antonette 2 years ago

Option B seems like the way to go. Rosetta is the answer to all my problems!
