Macos Big Sur (OS 11) What Works? Macos Big Sur (OS 11) What Works? Christopher Grossi - 2021-06-22 - 0 Comments - in Apple Macintosh Computers Portal > Knowledgebase > Desktop Computing and Printing > Apple Macintosh Computers > macOS Big Sur (OS 11) What Works? macOS Big Sur (OS 11) What Works? Christopher Grossi - 2021-06-22 - 0 Comments - in Apple Macintosh Computers On Thursday, November 12, Apple released its newest operating system, macOS Big Sur (macOS 11). CIS is evaluating the final release of Big Sur for compatibility with Brown's computing environment and upgrading our systems and software where necessary. Although the "beta" version appeared to work well in Brown's computing environment, we do not yet recommend upgrading due to the need to update some software titles for compatibility with new Big Sur features. We will soon have a list of services that are validated against Big Sur on this page. Please check back frequently for details as our work continues. In conjunction with the release of Big Sur, Apple is now shipping three new Apple Silicon Mac models (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13in, and Mac mini) to start their 2-year transition from Intel architecture. At this time, only the MacBook Air model has been completely transitioned from Intel to Apple Silicon (you can still purchase an Intel MacBook Pro 13in or Mac mini). Endpoint Engineering is awaiting delivery of examples so that we can validate our management framework and supported software, but we can provide some guidance at this time based on reports. In general, we can recommend any of these models as replacements for their Intel predecessors, provided that users are not dependent on Intel hardware-specific features (such as BootCamp or virtualizing Windows or x86-compiled Linux distributions), or requirements such as RAM capacity greater than 16GB, storage capacity greater than 2TB, or outputting video to more than one external display. Many software vendors are shipping production or beta Universal 2 binaries of their apps which run natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon. Software that is compiled for Intel that is otherwise compatible with Big Sur (64-bit only, a la Catalina) can be translated by Apple’s Rosetta 2 technology, which often delivers as good (and in some cases better) performance than Intel-native code running on Intel hardware. We have provided as much information as we currently have about Rosetta 2 compatibility in the table below.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Troubleshooting Rosetta Stone Log-In Issues on Mobile
    Portal > Knowledgebase > Teaching Learning and Research > Rosetta Stone > Troubleshooting Rosetta Stone Log-in Issues on Mobile Troubleshooting Rosetta Stone Log-in Issues on Mobile Kyle A. Oliveira - 2019-05-31 - 0 Comments - in Rosetta Stone A recent update to the Rosetta Stone apps on both iOS and Android may cause authentication issues. Please refer to the information below for resolving these issues. iOS To prevent any further issues regarding logging into the app on iOS, you must avoid opening the app unless you've authenticated through Brown's log in portal. Opening the app outside of logging in through Brown, will most likely result in the inability to log in and use the app. If you are having issues logging into it: Solution 1 1. Open your device's web browser, visit rosettastone.brown.edu, and log in 2. Click the “Launch Rosetta Stone Language Lessons” link to launch the app 3. You will experience the same problem as in the past - you will just see a "splash" screen instead of being logged in. On this screen, click Enterprise And Education Learners. 4. On the login screen that appears, type three random values (just a single letter will work) into the Username, Password, and Namespace fields. 5. You will see an error message. Click Try again and proceed with the next step. 6. Return to your web browser and again, visit rosettastone.brown.edu. 7. Click the “Launch Rosetta Stone Language Lessons” link to launch the app again. 8. Wait for the login to proceed - it should work. If you still see the error message, click the Try Again option.
