Hi, Welcome to Pix4D Community! Have you tried to use Bootcamp in your Mac silicon m1? Unfortunately, Mac Systems using parallel is not supported, as they use a virtual Operating System which may give problems with the display of the rayCloud and may fail to process. Otherwise, we have a stable PIX4Dmapper version for _Mac OS X 10.11 - El Capitan or 10.12 - Sierra_ that you could explore. Please for more information, you could refer to the following articles: [macOS / Windows XP / Linux / Remote access / Parallel processing](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202556809-macOS-Windows-XP-Linux-Remote-access-Parallel-processing?source=search) > [@Beta macOS version of Pix4Dmapper 3.0](https://community.pix4d.com/t/beta-macos-version-of-pix4dmapper-3-0/5672): > > Communication April 2024 The final iteration of PIX4Dmapper engineered for Mac was version 3.0.18, compatible with MacOS up to Sierra 10.12. Modern updates to MacOS have rendered version 3.0.18 incompatible, as it relies on outdated connection protocols unsupported by contemporary MacOS versions. Consequently, users may encounter difficulties connecting to PIX4Dmapper’s license servers, resulting in the expected Error e0060. More information can be found here: Communication February 2018 We … I hope you find this information useful. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you still have questions or concerns. Have a nice day, Best regards ---

Heydi thanks for your reply A recent review suggests the silicon m1 Mac max processor in the 16inch Mac Pro is not compatible with boot camp , just wondered if anyone had had success running pix 4d mapper using macs inbuilt emulation Rosetta Regards kerry ---

Hi Kerry, Until now, we don’t have information if any client tried to use inbuilt emulation Rosetta. At Pix4D we recently use M1 Mac for testing our PIX4Dmapper Desktop version for Mac and it works fine. Maybe you could have a better chance with Parallel Desktop emulator software, as it is suggested in this article [How to install Windows on M1 Macs - the super-easy way - 9to5Mac](https://9to5mac.com/2021/05/03/the-super-easy-guide-for-installing-windows-on-m1-macs-using-parallels-desktop-16-for-mac-video/) Please if you tried let us know how is it goes. This information is valuable for us. Best regards ---

Hi, I have just installed parallel on my M1 max. It seems to be working but much slower than my 2017 Mac running boot camp. Any ideas? Also, would you know if the Mac Beta version will work on the latest OS? Monterey? I really hope Pix4d does an update to support the new Mac. Thank you ---
