| Summary | 0000372: How do I migrate VisualDiffer one my old Mac to a new Mac | ||||
| Description | How do I migrate VisualDiffer one my old Mac to a new Mac. I have the latest version (2024) of the App installed on my Intel iMAC Mojave (32bit) which has been my main computer. I now have an M4 Mac mini and would like to install Visualdiffer even if it is not now supported. Can I please copy/move Visualdiffer elements from various folders from my old intel mac to my mac silicon machine. I believe the latest versions of Visualdiffer supported Mac silicon, but don't know if the right elements & components of Visualdiffer exist on my Intel iMac machine to make visualdiffer work on my my silicon Mac. I am not asking to redownload the App as I have seen you have said it is not available anymore. Perhaps you can help please with how to migrate to a newer machine and in my case from an installation on Intel to Mac Silicon. Thanks Jools | ||||

If you have the latest version 1.8.x, you should be able to copy VisualDiffer.app from the old computer to the new one If this doesn't work I can send to you a copy, hoping this resolves |

Hi there. Copied Visualdiffer.app from my old Mac and it seems to run fine on my new Mac. Thank you! When I do "Get Info" on the Application running on my M4 Mac, it says Application(Universal) so I guess the Visualdiffer.app is now running Apple Silicon native - even though I copied the file from an Intel Machine ?! Wow I appreciate the Visualdiffer.app is no longer supported but thank you for still being here to answer questions and help out. |

yes, VisualDiffer is Silicon native. A more reliable way to verify the binary type is running "Activity Monitor" app, add "Kind" to the columns and check if it is "Apple" or "Intel" |

Hi. I just checked in "Activity Monitor" app, and "Kind" is "Apple" , so running native. thank you for that tip. |
