![]() If I quit the app by right-clicking on the icon on the dock and choosing Quit, the app closes and the download is deleted. Focus changes to LogMeIn Client on the top menu bar and I can go to Preferences, Check for Update etc, but there is no connection to the computer I have chosen. However, as soon as I click through the messages above, nothing happens. ![]() I'm also aware that now and again this will involve going into System Preferences > Security & Privacy and sorting out the permissions for the app to run (second screenshot attached showing that this ISN'T flagging for LMI). One asks me if I want to open the application for the first time, the other is similar but asking if I want to open it because it's downloaded from the internet.Īll fine, though usually it's only the second one about being from the internet that appears on such occasions. It downloads, and then when I click on it I get two notifications at once, which when separated out are in the screenshot attached. It also then brings up the prompt asking me to download the LMI applet, which I grant. I log into LMI Central, click on a computer to connect to, and it brings up the username and password prompts before taking me to the dashboard for that machine. I will be happy to have them on a future Apple Silicon Macintosh, given that they came for free from another team, but think there would be many more important uses for that talent had it not been the case.I've been having this issue for a while, both on upgrade installs and on clean ones, though I am able to connect to any machine perfectly fine with other devices, ie my iPad or iPhone. To make it more clear to you, I would be just as to opposed allocating substantial macOS developer resources for these features for Apple Silicon Macintosh systems. Taking engineering resources from new, important macOS features, performance enhancements or stability improvements to support these features on Intel-based machines would be bad. This work was not done by the macOS team, but by the, much larger, iOS/iPadOS team and Apple Silicon Macintosh systems get it basically for free. What I have stated is that it would require that resources be diverted from other, much more valuable macOS development to do this. I have not done enough research to determine how likely it is that some, or all of these features could be implemented in a way that would deliver a satisfying and reliable user experience for some or all Intel based Macintosh systems. Anyone else should either buy an Apple Silicon system or wait until the next set of systems are released.Ĭlick to expand.I have never stated that. ![]() I presume that anyone who is buying an Intel-based Macintosh today is doing so because they have specific reasons they want that hardware. Apple’s year over year gains for their processors have been impressive. I cannot imagine there are many people who purchased Intel-based Macintosh systems who look at these features and say: “Wow, I was completely happy with the loud fan, high power draw (and/or short battery life) machine I have, but if I just get an Apple Silicon machine, I will be able to blur backgrounds on FaceTime in September or October so I better upgrade!”Īlmost certainly, as the differences between Apple’s new silicon and Intel’s old (and likely even then current) silicon are likely to increase. ![]() I think Apple is doing because it is now easy to make features they developed for their dominant platfrom available to users of their smaller platform with almost no additional cost in time, money or developer resources.
