Description: I have recently bought a Macbook pro operating on a 64 bit processor OS Monterey version 12.6.1. When I try to open Libreoffice (which I transferred from my old macbook which worked on a 32 bit procesor) it said that it could not operate with my 64bit processor and that I should get in touch with the developer. Can you help, please? Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to open a libreoffice file on an Apple 64 bit processor running Monterety 12.6.1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Error message: “LibreOffice” needs to be updated. The developer of this app needs to upate it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information Expected Results: I can't get any further Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I would hope to download a suitabel versio nof Libreoffce so that I could use it on my existing files.
@Tim: you need to download and install a current production release from the LibreOffice project download site. This will provide you with a choice of either an Intel architecture build, or an Arm architecture build. Both of these are 64bit programs. You don't say which kind of processor you have in your Macbook Pro, but if it is recent, then presumably this is an Arm silicon processor (M1 or M2). Either the Intel build or the Arm build will run on a M1/M2 processor, although the Intel build will run in emulated Rosetta2 mode, whereas the Arm build will run natively. Apple dropped support for the execution of 32bit programs a while ago (starting with macOS Catalina).
