![]() ![]() The second option is Install app updates and the third one is Install macOS updates. However, if you often use cellular data on your Mac, you might end up with a big data bill if you leave this option checked. Downloading updates in the background is generally a good idea as you don’t have to wait for downloads to complete when you manually update. If you disable this, you’ll simply get a notification stating that updates are available. This is enabled by default and macOS automatically downloads all updates in the background and prompts you when they are ready to install. The first option is Download available updates in the background. ![]() There are other options here that let you choose when you want to download and install updates. If you follow these steps, you will either enable or disable the system’s automatic checks for app and macOS updates. To enable automatic updates, click the empty box next to Automatically check for updates.To disable automatic updates, click on the tick mark next to Automatically check for updates to uncheck it, which is checked by default.Now you’ll see a bunch of options dealing with automatic updates on macOS. Click the Apple logo on the top left and open System Preferences.That prompt tends to interrupt our workflow and we’d rather not deal with it in the middle of the work day.įirst up, let’s figure out how to enable or disable automatic updates on Mac. Enabling automatic updates is convenient but not the best idea because apps have to be closed before installation can begin. However, that’s not true on a Mac or a PC.Īt any point we’ve got at least eight apps open. You’re also unlikely to be using a bunch of apps at the same time. Sometimes apps may start crashing after updates but by and large, apps continue to work as expected after updates. This has its benefits - you don’t have to manually download updates to apps and all critical security patches are downloaded automatically to your phone or computer.Įnabling automatic updates on a smartphone doesn’t really bother most people. But if you are using a plugin/add-on that is only available as Intel code, then it won’t be available when the app is running natively - in which case, you can choose to run the Intel version (via Rosetta) and get access to your plugin.These days enabling automatic updates has become the norm on practically every operating system. So why would you want to keep using Rosetta if the app is universal? Most of the time, you won’t. See also: If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support I am guessing that it has defaulted to Rosetta, because that’s what you were previously using (when the app was Intel-only), and the message is letting you know that you may want to switch it over to native operation (by un-checking that box on each Office app). So you can now choose which way you want it to open. I assume that you’re seeing this message because the previous version was Intel-only and the new (current) version is universal. There is a checkbox, “Open using Rosetta”, which is used to configure it. Select the app in the Finder and do a “get info”. If your app is “universal”, meaning it contains both Intel and ARM code, you can choose which way you want to run it. Similarly, if it is ARM-only, it will be run as native (again, because there’s no other option). If your app is Intel-only, it will automatically be run via Rosetta (because there’s no other option). “you can now disable the Rosetta emulator for Excel”. #1655: 33 years of TidBITS, Twitter train wreck, tvOS 16.4.1, Apple Card Savings, Steve Jobs ebook.#1656: Passcode thieves lock iCloud accounts, the apps Adam uses, iPhoto and Aperture library conversion in Ventura. ![]() #1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD. ![]()
