Question

The terminal writes about a successful installation, but it is nowhere to be found. And no program can be run through properties. After such a problem, I tried to find the old program in the store and start the installation like this. But it's strange. Programs that have not been updated for several years are quietly launched.

softwareupdate --install-rosetta
I have read and agree to the terms of the software license agreement. A list of Apple SLAs may be found here: http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
Type A and press return to agree: a
2021-04-16 17:32:59.495 softwareupdate[2131:42413] Package Authoring Error: 071-08933: Package reference com.apple.pkg.RosettaUpdateAuto is missing installKBytes attribute
Install of Rosetta 2 finished successfully

I do not appear in the properties to run through Rosetta I even downloaded an old Intel program from 5 years ago and it started quietly but Photoshop does not work. How do I install it so that everything works? help me

Was it helpful?

Solution

The terminal is likely lying to you - the error message should say, “Rosetta is already installed” when I see that. If you are sure you don’t have Rosetta and it’s not running and you did get a new Intel app after the error, one lpotential cause of that error is if your network has failed to deliver the update from Apple content delivery network (hard to tell if CDN is overloaded or it’s your network with one try, though).

I would restart the machine and try again. If the error persists, you may need to try a different network or look at reinstalling the OS or troubleshoot further.

A call to Apple support to escalate to engineering may be needed if they don’t fix this “issue” of the installer messaging.
