Will Retroactive apps run on Apple Silicon (M1)?

[lukifer]

I would assume that these apps should work on the new M1 Macs, via Rosetta 2. Has anyone tested them on the pre-release Apple Silicon hardware?

Thanks so much for Retroactive! 😄

[UInt2048]

Not pre-release hardware anymore. 😜

See #161

No problems here with Retroactive 1.9.2 and Aperture, though I had to run Retroactive on Aperture again, after migrating from Catalina. MacBook Air M1, official macOS 11.0.1

[famnva]

With Retrospective 1.9.2, Aperture and iPhoto run fine on my new MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon, i.e, M1 CPU but I get a crash with iTunes.

I upgraded my wife’s MacBook Air, Intel based, to Big Sur and with Retrospective 1.9.2, all three apps run fine.

same here, iTunes crashes on m1. worked fine on big sur on my 2015 MacBook pro.

any solution?

[mrzool]

iTunes still crashing... that's a bummer 😟

iTunes still crashing... that's a bummer 😟

Was this crash with Big Sur or Monterey? Curious if Monterey has improved the situation. I suspect something in the iTunes dependency chain is not running on Rosetta 2 and thus the crash if so... We should somehow try to track down what that dependency might be and if it's possible to force it to run with Rosetta 2.

[mrzool]

@ylluminate the crash was on Big Sur. I'm unable to test on Monterey as I didn't upgrade yet.

[UInt2048]

@ylluminate Monterey wasn't even announced yet in March 2021.

[ylluminate]

I had an interesting experience here as shared here: https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive/issues/255#issuecomment-1013288036

I migrated an Intel Big Sur installation with iTunes 12.9.5.5 installed and enabled via Retroactive previously. Upon migration (Apple's Migration Assistant.app) I found that it STILL works on an Apple Silicon (M1 Max) MacBook Pro with macOS 12.1 (Monterey) fairly well. It doesn't seem to want to connect to iOS devices (with errors), but the old music library is intact and works quite well.

[Robbiesaviour]

iTunes seems to run fine, but I haven't managed to get it to sign in as of yet unfortunately. When it starts, a dialog displays stating that an unknown error has occurred (-42408). The app continues to operate, but the Sign In option does nothing when clicked. Gutting, I love iTunes - the Music app is absolutely lousy. macOS Monterey 12.1 Apple M1 MacBook Pro, 8GB.

[ylluminate]

Same here @Robbiesaviour. Music.app sucks nuclear rotten moon cheese. Seriously bad trash. iTunes is working nicely as noted above still even on macOS 12.3ß4, but yes, no sign in stuff.

[estyseesghosts]

Haven't tried iTunes but iPhoto works great on my M1

Tried aperture but I can't get it to open RAWs, just says unsupported file (my camera is old enough that it should load fine and iPhoto takes the same files just fine)

[k9malinda]

@estyseesghosts - I can't get iPhoto to run on my M1 - (Big Sur) keeps crashing, how are you getting it to work?

[dmuiX]

So sync with iPad and iPhone is definitely not working on M1 in iTunes? If yes this is a real bummer...
