But Apple discontinued support for Rosetta
These older PowerPC processors were widely used in Mac desktop and laptop computers for years, but in 2006 Apple replaced the PowerPC chips with those made by the Intel Corporation.įrom 2006 until this summer, programs written to run on PowerPC processors still worked on Macs with Intel processors, thanks to a piece of software in Mac OS X called Rosetta.
The Quicken for Mac personal finance software will not work on the latest version of Apple’s Mac operating system because the program was originally written for an older processor once used in Mac computers.
