Apple has announced that macOS 26 Tahoe will be the final macOS version to support Intel-based Macs. This means that starting next year, major new versions of macOS will only be compatible with Apple Silicon Macs. What does this mean for future updates and versions of rhino? Are there plans to stop…

May I ask this (related to be able to use V9 on Intel Mac machines) I use an old macbook pro (2015 Intel) with OCLP upgraded to Sequoia 15.5. And all runs fine (Rhino + grasshopper). we had some issues, but these were nicely solved in updates from Rhino. I wonder if this OCLP approach could also …

with some feedback from Rhinos Disco, the general conclusion seems to be that OpenCore is not a usable option and i am not very hopeful that might change. i am also not very fond of the radical steps taken (though i am just semi related since only one of my working computers is too old while the ot…

Thank you for your fast reactions: If I read that, I am happy that my configuration still works. (Macbook Pro 2015 i7 16Gb, with OCLP 2.4 + Seqouia 15.5) and the help I had to keep it running like this one: 8.21.25168.13002, 2025-06-17) Crashing on Mac after opening last file - #8 by will We wi…

I’ve been bitten by hardware changes myself, some of them have cost me access to periperals that should have been easy to keep supported, and I’ve raged myself quite a bit. Apple’s move from Intel followed an unhappy period in which Intel wasn’t delivering what Apple thought it needed to keep its c…

To run Rhino V9 on an Intel Mac [Rhino 9 not supported on Mac Intel 2025-10-19 at 09.42.12] One may yet be able to run Rhino V9 on an Intel Mac (with a caveat). I’ve used Macs exclusively for 36 years and will probably never buy a “PC”. However on Saturday—using Apple’s Boot Camp—I’ve successfu…

If you also use Open Core Legacy Patcher you will probably be able to run later versions. I now use macbook pro 2016 with sequoia + bootcamp (rufus + windows11). Waiting for OCLP support for Tahoe.

from what i have heard is that there is not much hope running Rhino on OCLP generally, the people that tried that i know of here or reported it have failed so far

I run rhino 8 for about 1,5 years now on: macbook probooks 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 (all with OCLP + Seqouia latest version. So I am curious what they do diffently from what I do. regards, Eef

i think it had to do with the fact that macbook pros have better graphic cards. though a 2013 model sounds really quite on the edge, did that one really run rhino8? i gave up on it because i have an old imac in my working lab and what i remember is that these specifically dont have much hope for rhi…

I did not test on models before 2013, so I do not know if it is the edge. Give it a try, get your old imac on oclp and see what happens. (it will not be fast, but most of the time, I cannot think fast enoug to keep up with the processor :wink:

Thanks Tom, I appreciate it. We think with Direct3D as the display we will be able to support VMWare, Parallels, and Windows ARM. At least that’s the hope.
