Apple/Products related News, Updates, and Tips
  • Pixelmator Pro version 2.1.2 (app store link, macOS 10.14.4 or later)
    (No info on fixes in v2.1.2. Previous v2.1 info follows.)
    "Pixelmator Pro 2.1 Coral adds the ability to automatically crop photos using machine learning, brings a way to quickly fill any layer with a color using the magic of drag and drop, includes a redesigned Paint tool and an improved Type tool, and much more."

  • Apple forum post with Tip for Problems with Software Update/installing Rosetta 2:
    "... my contact with an Apple T2 technician produced a solution right out of left field. I explained to him that not only would Rosetta not install, but also that Apple > About this Mac > Software Update would not detect or allow updates. This provided the clue to get Rosetta installed.
    The solution was to open System Preferences > Date and Time, then unlock padlock and enter password. Tick the "Set date and time automatically" box which uses the Apple site time.apple.com. Then check that time and date are correct. Then check that Time Zone is set automatically and that your correct time zone is displayed. Go out of System Prefs and now the Intel file which needs Rosetta should open successfully."
    (I would think most users would have those auto Date/Time settings as default.)
