I didn’t realize that #Catalina was dropping support for 32-bit apps, which means my Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is no longer compatible and won’t open 😤 unless I purchase to the 2019 version of Office which means 💸💸🤬 Of course, some of those upgrades come with a price.
If you have a 32-bit app, Apple is recommending users please check with the app developer for a more modern 64-bit version. So, starting with macOS Catalina, 32-bit apps are no longer compatible with macOS. These apps can access dramatically more memory, enable faster system performance, and take advantage of technologies that define today’s Mac experience, such as Metal graphics acceleration.”
Ms word update for 64 bit for mac for mac#
These 64-bit apps will allow the use of more memory and more processing power, but if you are happy with your old software, such as Adobe Photoshop 6 or Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac, it may no longer run.Īccording to Apple, “Apple began transitioning to 64-bit hardware and software technology for Mac over a decade ago, and all modern Macs now include powerful 64-bit processors that can run advanced 64-bit apps. An End to 32-bit AppsĪfter a decade-long transition, Apple has fully made the switch to 64-bit applications. We highly recommend not updating to this OS as it will be problematic for various 32-Bit software packages causing the software to not run. The newest version of macOS 10.15 Catalina is now available. This news item was published in October 2019, is now outdated, and is preserved for historical reference only.
